I had forgotten to rule change also. Stupid rules. I hate rules.

Depending on stats in a team sport is a massive gamble. QBx has a far better completion percentage than QBy. Is he better, or are his receivers better? QBa has fewer passing yards than QBb, but one plays for a team with a bell cow runningback while the other plays for a team that runs a high percentage passing attack. RBq has far fewer rushing yards than RBz, but he also doesn't have anything close to as good a set of blockers opening holes for him. Those are only a few examples. You could easily find dozens more. Baseball is a sport that lends much better to individual stats as a measuring stick. Football is a hundred times more complex; hence why stats can be misleading.

Thank you. I’m glad you agree.

That would take a SB win and I'm certain even that would do it.

Imagine trying to sell someone on that job. No 1st round pick, question marks all over the team, no culture of success. They might have to keep him because of no other candidates. Except for old Bill.

How many times a game are you required to make that throw? Seriously?

If you're talking about just the NFL's Offensive Player of the Week, then sure, I'd agree. But for me, and maybe that's the problem and it's how I've interpreted this award, it's more about a statistical excellence than overall impact on the game.

Honestly, the lack of yards and the mental inconsistency aren't even my biggest problems with him. It always has and always will be his lack of an ability to drive the ball as required on this level. He can't throw from one hash to the opposite sideline 20 yards downfield on a line drive. That's a 40ish yard air travel throw and the only way he's able to make it is with a touch throw. Which in turn is from a lack of overall arm strength, which also rears its ugly head on off base/balance throws. And it's not even that he's bad when throwing on the move, he's actually pretty good at it, but he NEEDS to get back into a perfectly balanced position on the throw or else he doesn't have the arm strength to get it where it needs to be. In this day and age, you need QB's who can make off balance throws that don't come up 5 yards short of the reciever every single time.

Canales - COTY Bryce - League MVP

Yeah, Jared Allen, Josh Norman, Courtland Finnegan, Roman Harper, Keyshawn Johnson..I am sure I am missing a few.

We're talking about contribution to a particular game. There's more to that than stats. Take for example a guy with superior stats vs a guy with lower stats playing his way through an injury or a hardship. In that scenario, I'm gonna vote for the latter guy ten times out of ten.

Immediate 15 yards behind the LOS.

There's an argument to be made...

He is probably about 10 down on the list of candidates. Now, if we win out, and things fall certain ways, the Seahawks would be the only other team with 11 wins, and we would have the number 1 seed by virtue of a head-to-head tiebreaker over them. If that happens, then he would probably shoot right up the board.

Forgot he'd be subject to waivers at this time of year. Given how waivers work, that ploy could have gone really badly for him.

Technically we have two Canes, but Mike Jackson portal'd in and Harrison-Hunte portal'd out, so yeah...

I'm not sure you know what kibitzing means. Regardless, the difference between Bryce and Legette is that one lacks the tools while the other lacks the mindset. If Legette fixes his head, we can talk.

This is the way. Also, drafting depth guards and tackles is extremely necessary in April based on our history...

I mean, it’s Vrabel and not close IMO. Ben Johnson at #2. But yeah, if you want to recognize other HCs that aren’t going to win but deserve a head nod….Canales deserves one for this schizophrenic semi success.

His best weapon was sort of weird too. Harbor isn’t really QB friendly yet. He is big and fast and probably equally raw to Sellars. I think Sellars could leave and have sort of a Jalen Hurts uptick and improvement when he left Bama

Can’t see the middle of the field? If you don’t watch the games just say so https://x.com/haydenwinks/status/1995915616449102015?s=46&t=W75E23VenL1ei42iX22E5g Bryce isn’t Kyler Murray when it comes to seeing the middle of the field

I think both. And some of his stock rise from the year prior wasn’t really off good QB play. Clemson game is an example. Huge win. Last minute win. Sellars couldn’t complete a pass hardly that entire game though. He was just kept shrugging off could have been sacks and turning them into huge runs vs a team that couldn’t tackle at the end of the season. Great athlete.

Don't know any eagles fans?

His OC being Mike Shula didn’t help him develop. His OL struggled too, but yeah he seems to have trouble reading the field.
