Have you seen PJ play? We're going to get slaughtered. Defense will give up 10 points, offense will give up 35.

How about we play a game or two with him before we get all spendy and stuff? Not against something longer term if he plays well, but there's a chance that either he's not up to snuff or that the coaching is so bad they can do nothing, even with him under center. Cam left here broken and battered, and he played for New England like he was still broken and battered. He's had some extensive time to heal now so maybe he's better. But he might still have a bad shoulder and no distance on his throws. We just don't know and we just won't know. Let's give this whole thing some time to breathe.

We need to wean ourselves off of Jets cast offs. Really. If we must grab cast offs, let's go for higher tier teams.

Robby just needs to catch some passes and shut up. If he doesn't, there's a bench with his name on it and no one will cry.

Well said.

It might help, it might not. This is a crazy, topsy turvy season if there's ever been one. We saw the lowly Dolphins whoop the mighty Ravens last night with Tua coming off the bench and sparking something. Literally anything could happen. Heck, just the possibility of COVID putting most of a team's starters on the bench could upend the entire race. Cam could also come back and create a spark that starts something cool. No one knows. Might turn out terrible, might not. Might as well sit back and enjoy it for the sublime ridiculousness this game is bringing to us.

Could be fun. Might not work out. Enjoy the moment.

Honestly, I think it changes how defenses have to work against us. Cam may not have much of an arm left, but he can be a bruising runner and there's not a fear factor he's working under. Also, unlike most of Darnold's games so far, CMC is back there now and that gives opposing defenses two wild cards to account for. If you put a spy on each one of them, you're going to run out of rushers or coverage guys. Look, I don't think this will make us into contenders, especially looking the barrel of the remainder of the season (whew, that's some stout competition ahead), but it should be fun. And now with Paradis and Erving out, we've got yet another reshuffle of the line. Whoever takes to the forefront of that group and makes the starting lineup will be working with a mobile QB that makes the RPO an actual threat. Hopefully Brady can actually work with this rather than being hidebound to the partial playbook he snagged from his time in New Orleans. Cam also will bring some accountability to the line while they are the field. He has no problem calling someone out for not doing their job. It might even help with the dropsies the receivers have been having. The idea of Robby cussing out Cam is just laughable. If Robby drops two passes in a game, chances are he'll sit on the bench for the rest of the season.

He's a locker room cancer willing to throw any team under the bus, especially a QB who doesn't cater to him specially and specifically. We've got Robby Anderson for that, only cheaper!

Hope this works out well. If not, I guess they'll call Jake and tell him to start warming up.

Probably not, but at this point it could be fun. Heck, hold onto him into next season (if he signs) and go ahead and draft o-line in the first round. Give the team a chance to compete while building for the future. Honestly, though, this is probably the last chance to save Rhule's job here. Good luck to them all.

Well, alrighty. That'll put butts in seats.

Told ya this is where we'd be this year. But what do I know? This season is only going to get worse from here. And by December we're going to be forgetting about how good the defense was. Rhule and Co. will be gone at the end of this season, headed back to the college ranks. Rhule will probably get another shot in three or four years and do like Pete Carroll and have a winning team quickly on the second ride. Hopefully, Fitterer is shown the door, too. Then, Tepper will hopefully wise up and get some good advisors to help him with the GM search and coaching search. He has the core of a good team here, but the window isn't large.

Nah, dead man walking. This season hasn't gotten anywhere near as embarrassing as it will get.

They used to call it the Nouvea Riche... the newly rich who had no class, no understanding of long term wealth or the proper use of it. Some wise up, most don't. Tepper is smart, but not wise from what I see. But then again, what do I know?

Whatever you think of Sam, no one can say he didn't go out there and give it everything he had. He might have had more success if the organization had tried to do as much for him as he did for it. It's a brutal way to make a living, but that's the NFL. I hope he heals up fully and well. Some time away might do him well and might expose how many of his problems weren't really his fault.

2020 pretty good. 2021, I'm not seeing stars yet. Maybe Horn would have been one, but injury shortened his grading period. The rest are two maybes, a meh, a couple of mightas and some guys that have been disappointing. Hubbard and Tremble are maybes. Marshall is a meh. Mighta been okay includes Nixon and Taylor. The rest just aren't panning out or are struggling to even make the field on what is a really week team, especially when considering two of them were offensive linemen. Wish I could say the draft was better. There wasn't a lot of competition in front of these guys in camp. And there were some better picks ahead of most of them, but we traded down and were proud of our bargain hunting.

When I looked, he was available. Heck, we've got two guys on our practice squad already as QBs, let them have a crack at it. Can't get any worse, could be kinda funny even.

It's because they don't know what they are doing. They've been winging it for a while now and it's just caught and overwhelmed them. Rhule and Co. were ready for a move to the SEC, not a move to the NFL.

I'd rather see them trot out Joe Webb. Must not have been any Temple or Baylor guys available.

We can analyze what's wrong until we're black and blue in the face, but in the end, you can watch the games and just know this team isn't right. And I'm going to even say this, that defense isn't as legit as we want to think it is. Contender teams will/have crush(ed) us. We're about to go into a long stretch of really top rated opponents. This won't be pretty. And the offense? We're only fielding an offensive line apparently because the rules dictate we have five warm bodies at the line of scrimmage. That's what we've done all year, five warm bodies. Now, we're even running short of that. It's time to scrap this and start over. Or find some folks who can work with what we've got and build from there.

It may well speak to just how bad PJ Walker is. We'll see soon.

They actually said it during the game.

Apparently, there's a history between Burns and Jones that goes back to high school and maybe before. Bad blood begets bad stuff.

Only if it's covered by COBRA.
