  1. Past hour
  2. This is the only correct answer when you have two RBs who are so similar. Realistically splitting RB carries only works when they're different enough that the swapping of them changes what the defense wants to do against them. Rico and Chuba are just too similar, neither are the quick twitch make you miss and run away from them type of RB. So when we sub them for each other, the defense doesn't need to make any personnel or scheme adjustments.
  3. Sure, all fair points that can't be argued against. But not a single one of them changes his arm strength problem. And pointing to a Heisman trophy winner being able to throw the ball a max of 60 air yards in college, isn't exactly helping your case about him having average arm strength. He was college great and had college adequate arm strength, but that doesn't cut it in the NFL, not by a long shot.
  4. 65-35 split and play to their strengths. Not alternate drives since that outs your offense in a weird position.
  5. If Legette can build on this game it's such a waste to have this receiving corps thrown to with Bryce. Need someone who can fling it down field and let them make plays even if they're not necessarily the "best" QB. Like how Daunte Culpeper played with Randy Moss.
  6. But that's not what we're talking about, nor what you said earlier. You said he "has an average to below average arm strength" which in itself is an extremely disingenuous argument to make for a starting QB if in your head, you're comparing him to all draft eligible QB's (which even then, I'm still not sure it would be accurate anyways, but that's beyond the point). We're not talking about whether or not Bryce is good enough (or if just his arm is good enough) to be a backup or practice squad QB. We're discussing the merits of him being our starting QB of the future, so by nature, comparing him to anything other than the other starting QB's is just asinine. I'd bet my life savings, that if you ranked every QB over the last 5 years to attempt to make an NFL roster, Bryce would not crack the 80th percentile of arm strength, and that still might be generous of me to say he could be that high up the list. You keep pointing to him throwing the ball 50-60 yards in college. Well I hate to break it to you, but I'm not sure there is any starting QB in college who can't throw the ball that far when they have perfect balance and can step into a throw, that's basically the bare minimum requirement at that level. And I'm not saying this to say Bryce is the worst QB in the history of the game of football. He does have certain things that he does well, and I do think he'd be a more than serviceable backup and the type of guy who can bounce around year to year as a gap year starter at times. But objectively, he has one of the weakest arms of any starting QB in recent memory, that's not really debatable.
  7. Ride the hot hand until he gets tired and spell him as needed. Rince and repeat.
  8. Damn it didn’t look that serious. Hopefully Dalton keeps feeding Legette
  9. Start with giving the ball to Rico. Give him the first 10 carries and then make a decision from there.
  10. Add on to this. That means I thought Bryce needed the same amount of time on the sidelines before starting because his mechanics needed fixing before being thrown on the field. Additionally if starting him, you need to be able to scheme him a throwing lane up the middle so the whole field is open to him when he drops back. The Panthers didn't fix his mechanics, they didn't have an offense set up to scheme him throws over the middle consistently and didn't draw off his biggest strength as a thrower which is numbers out to the boundary. None of the above even started happening til Canales got here and Bryce was benched. Throwing him on the field as a rookie in an offense that didn't fit his traits and skills set literally ruined what chance he had at being an NFL starting QB.
  11. Ride the hot hand. The hot hand is Rico. I don't get what's so hard about that to Canales, but that's why I'm just a fan.
  12. Also hard to throw INTs when most of your incompletions end up landing in the dirt before even reaching the WR or DB
  13. Analysis? Is that what you call the OP. It read more like an opnion piece to me. I just don't agree with those opinions at this point in either of their carreers. But, I am all with you in wanting them to do well. Time will tell though.
  14. That's how the draft works, dunno what to tell you. QB has the lowest hit rate I'll use Bryce as an example. The scouting department that drafted him (one that is still largely the same now) thought he would excel in a quick strike offense when his size and ability to read a defense literally makes that the worst aspect of his game.
  15. I know according to the huddle that Chuba sucks now that Rico has had two great games. Regardless, the splitting drives just seemed off. How is a back supposed to get rhythm if his drive is a 3 and out with two inclomplete passes? Word is Canales is going to stick with this plan again. Rico was gassed by the end of the Cowboy's game, giving him 40+ touches just isn't sustainable. What's the best way to go about it? Give Rico the majority and let Chuba spell him? I DEMAND ANSWERS!
  16. This is a very good point. Like sure it's easy to not throw many picks when you don't or can't challenge a defense and just let the running game do most of the work.
  17. Excellent young defensive building blocks. Brown is our best DT since Jenkins and Horn our best CB since Norman. Very happy with how these two turned out. We got exactly what we were hoping for.
  18. If you've paid attention I've said already multiple times that he isn't a starting NFL QB. I said this before the draft, I had him rated third at QB. I had him rated behind AR, who I said would need a year or two on the bench before starting.
  19. And Joe Milton would be an MVP candidate this year, not the Cowboys backup QB. The argument is pretty simple, does Bryce have a strong enough arm to be a successful starting QB in this league. And the answer is even simpler... No. Anything else doesn't matter, he's just flat out proven that he can't make the minimum required throws at a high enough level to be even an average starting QB, let alone anything better than that.
  20. If arm strength decided who the best QB was JaMarcus Russell would have been a hall of famer
  21. And poo... now that I think about it, you're trying to say he has "average or slightly below average arm strength" but saying that in comparison to the what, 90ish QB's currently on a roster or practice squad right now? So your argument FOR our QB is that he has about the 45-60ish strongest arm in the NFL and you think that's a winning argument in support of Bryce? And actually, you're really comparing him to draft profiles, which by your definition would then also include all the guys who can't make rosters or even practice squads. So really, you're saying because he has an average to below average arm strength of all the players who tried to make it in the NFL in recent memory, he has a strong enough arm to be a successful starting QB in this league. again, I have to say it, JFC
  22. All-pros? Brown to me absolutely, Horn has more competition. We can have nice things again?
