He is better rehabbing his Winston/Favre tendencies as a backup for a couple of years at successful franchises. His path to starting(and likely failing again) in Carolina would be far too short with us. TO prone gunslingers have not been in demand in the NFL for quite some time. It's not the talent that is the issue, it's the crippling TO's. If you want a QB like that, why not take the far more successful, talented and experienced Jameis Winston? For all the lionizing of Sam Darnold here, same basic thing, TO prone(his TO's/game are actually UP on the season). That's an outlier that has "worked" so far but ultimately you don't normally see TO prone QB's have long term success in the modern NFL. The margins are too small. For context, BTW: TO's Per Game Career Darnold: 1.30 Winston: 1.14 Howell: 1.28

These same two teams without these backs in 2023 through the exact same amount of games: Baltimore: 9-3(8-4 this year) Philadelphia: 10-1(9-2 this year) Hmmm....you think all that success was still the RB? Or maybe that great weapons on already great teams look better? Quick, do CMC!

Well he was SUPPOSED to be back over the weekend. Anderson still is our best goalie. He is just so very consistent in the regular season. Pyotr has his elite moments but also some Spencer Martin moments too.

I think Hunt and Lewis are a big part of the turnaround. You went from one of the worst IOL to easily a top 10 IOL(center is weaker, obviously). I do think our offensive coaching has improved tremendously, as well.

Hilarious to see a couple of college kids dunk so hard on Matt Rhule a "grown" man. Also funny to see them be obviously more mature.

Yeah, minus the 2.6 goals per game we have scored in all losses including this blanking. But yeah, totally not his fault. He's really been crushing it with the(now) worst save percentage in the NHL and almost the worst GAA. Nope. He's really been crushing it.

I mean, it's hard to plan on your best goalie being out most of the year. You knew he would miss time but not like that.

I like winning, which is why I don't like Martin. Anderson: 3-1 Kochetkov: 10-2 Martin: 3-4-1 Notice the issue?

Martin is a chemistry killer just like Raanta ended up being in the end.

Well that aged like milk.

Martin isn't even at career lows in GAA and save percentage. He has literally never been good at all. We have to upgrade him as our #2 goalie.

He is getting worse each game.

All is lost if Martin plays. He is absolutely terrible.

I don't believe there is really any data to back that up.

Good OG's are much easier to find than good WR's.

SUCK IT RANGERS FANS

Gotta get something past this *****.

Kochetkov is back this weekend, thankfully. Gotta rally. It sucks to have worked them that hard and not get a goal.

Martin. You gotta stop that one, bruh.

Dammit. We are allowing too many easy opportunities in this last few minutes.

This was an obvious move once he started to melt down. The people upset about it were just plain out of their minds.

The reasonable part I think will be tough. IMO, I don't really think he is going to want to resign with us. He seems to be an "emotions on his sleeve" guy that really hates losing. That's not really going to be changing much before his contract will be up. If we want to keep him around it will have to be by tagging or overpaying, IMO.

Yeah, taking shots at him after the best game of his career by a very substantial margin is just cringy. If you just hate the MFer just hate him and be honest about it. Don't cover it in some horseshit hot takes and weak insults.

I mean, Jake was not a super strong armed QB. Above average at very best probably more average than above. Bryce I would say is slightly below average. Not massive differences between the two in arm strength.
