I see it referenced the big time throw metric. Never seen that used so often before. That data would have you believe Bryce is a better big time thrower than Josh Allen Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson. Sound a bit far fetched? I can buy into optimism but anyone that actually believes that right now before Bryce embarks on a key prove it season is not existing within reality. I'd love to see it though. Time will tell.

Can’t hurt

That's sometimes the case when it comes to the X's and O's of the game, and in film study. But when it comes down to the little things like hand/foot movement to beat X, Y, or Z coverage off the line or any other number of nuanced like that, basically the things players are discussing on the sideline between series, that's where the vets come into place. Those are the things that if the coaches who didn't have a ton of success were good at, they'd likely have had more success in their careers. But either way, none of that changes that coaches can only do so much, having vets to lean on is imperative to young players in their early years, it's not really even debatable.

Underrated point. And I can definitely see the same thing happening in Dallas. The Norman thing was so stupid. And I think (rightfully) it was the beginning of the end for Gettleman

GB thinks they have that in Love. Maybe they do maybe they don't. We'll see how it plays out. Ultimately it's all about the results on the field in the way of wins, losses, and ultimately rings. If they win a SB in the next few years it was obviously worth it.

Sounds like mental illness to me. Hope it gets better for you bud.

Doesn't sound like Thielen had much confidence in the QB room in Carolina. But he went out of his way to talk glowingly of the rookie QB in Minnesota just two months ago.

If you are putting too much emphasis on how players feel about getting cut from a team then I dont know what to tell you. Some of them understand it's a business and tough decisions gotta be made. They don't get that emotional over it and he takes that raise back with him. Plus he probably wanted to finish his career there anyway and his Family clearly wanted to go back.......so that's what happened.

It is wild given how incredibly impulsive Tepper has been in firing coaches that somehow the coach that oversaw the worst defense statistically ever was able to keep his job. I thought Saleh would have been a shoe-in given their connection. I hope Canales/Morgan/Tillis have someone in mind if/when they pull the plug on the Evero experiment

Also doesn't this kind of undermine DC's answer that AT never wanted to leave? Kinda funny.

Washington comes to mind

Remember when Gettleman yanked the tag off of Norman right before the draft and it just gutted our locker room and pretty much tanked our season before it even got started? Yeah, the timing on this move is way worse than that. This is being done basically on the eve of the season kicking off. Not only is the locker room getting shocked but now you have the coaching staff pretty much recreating their game plans. I guarantee you everyone in the organization fully expected Parsons to be there

not swapping Evero for Salah might be another blunder that bites this team in the ass. We know without a shadow of a doubt that dude knows what he is doing on defense

No clue, Pats fans are confused. Maybe Vrabel doesn't like him or something came up. He had an assault and cocaine possession accusation last fall but that was dropped before the season was even over.

Especially after last year.

they claim it is a scheme issue. but they are claiming a scheme issue for a guy has had a lot of recent off field issues. Commissioners exempt list last year for some cocaine, assault, etc Think he got off on all of it but the coke.

what happened here? I wanted us to draft him...was he a bust? Or is it a cap thing

It is, but if they want to compete for a national championship, they have to schedule games like this. It worked for them a couple of years ago when they scheduled LSU to start the season. Well, it worked until their qb got knocked out.

Hunter wanted to play for Carolina and seemingly only for Carolina. He didn't make the team. His comeback attempt was not to achieve the status of the on and off practice squad team (for a bad team). So I would assume he most likely just walks away. only inconsistent aspect ever reported or seen (and cameras and eyeballs are on all of it), is when they put him in preseason games w/ a bad QB throwing hospitals (and he still pulled in hospital balls) and zero positive plays occurring because of that. Every coach we have ever had bullshits on the mic about the actions of the Panthers. I still say its simplistic. There was really one spot. It was Moore or Renfrow up for that. Dave Canales went with his guy (simply because it's his guy) and he can't get on the mic say it that way. So there is spin on the decision.

Evero tried to leave! He wanted out! That the most amazing thing. mark my words that move by tepper will haunt us for years. Completely unheard of in that situation.

QBs and Kickers, we have a problem with that.

Some more okay-ish football on tap tonight. Auburn/Baylor and Colorado/Georgia Tech.

I mean, those numbers aren't wiping away the issue. 30th ranked pass O 32nd 40+ yard pass plays 26th 20+ yard pass plays 31st yards per pass attempt The website's job is too sell excitement entering season. Out of the nine stats, only one really zeros in on getting downfield and that is the efficiency aspect. So it's not a # about when you do it or how much you do it.....it's just rating efficiency when you happen to do it (which isn't a lot for Bryce in a passing tree scheme that generally requires it). because if Bryce did go downfield with the efficiency rating suggested and they weren't limited in volume....the passing stats above would be flipped on their head and we wouldn't be bottom of the NFL there.

Now that's an addition I could get behind.

Usually the best teachers are ones who played the position but didn't have a ton of success for whatever reason.
