Jackson needs help over the top. Asking him to do what Horn does is just dumb.

Nope, I was being straightforward. You on the other hand tried to talk about gas lighting while combining sarcasm which just made your take convoluted at best and at worst just straight gas lighting.

Great now we are using the definition of gas lighting to then gas light. Chefs kiss on that full circle.

If it's 40 passes vs running heavy again then we certainly will me thinks

Dalton is much better pre snap and getting rid of it in the pocket. I just don't think he has much if any juice left. Basically how he looked in game 2 the last 2 years of his starting stints. So still an improvement from Bryce but a ghost of his former self at this point. If DC doesn't call a run heavy game he is going to have a rough day.

But with more time he can turn into the best version of himself that can be...and still not be worth a non-rookie contract.

They are 0-7? What more than a sack can they talk about? It's not a serious injury and there was zip from that clip that was disrespectful, intended or not.

Clean play and take from them. The video doesn't show anything bad and no one would know there was an injury from the play either. Just looks like a normal sack.

Would be more impressive if we would have targeted better guys in the first place but it's good to see them move on from some of their mistakes. Now do the rest already...

Because it's Dave's MO. It's what he wants to do and Dalton allows him to do it, even if he shouldn't. He will run down an old man from the bench but can't do it with Young or Dave is the problem...which says enough about the entire situation IMO

Looks like he will have a new seasons best total this year but they are also 2-5. He had 9 total sacks last year if I remember correctly. 1 year over 10 total too I would still take that trade in a heart beat. All downhill after that move. He was never a guy they could build around after a mega deal either which he is showing on a bottom 3rd D. Could have been us lol so that 2nd isn't too bad if you forget it was wasted

Lol he has....I think IDK, has to be Hooker since the other guy hasn't even been here a week. Wildcat looking mighty fine if Dalton can't even make it through 1 game

Since his rookie year the offense has gotten worse and the D has improved. Dude is going to be off his rookie deal before they give him what they are giving their D. Classic example of why to pick an offensive HC over deffensive HC. They are set to have a top 5 D and not a winning record like the last 2 years of 10 wins each. Freaking hilarious

So is Hooker activated or are they just rolling with Dalton and plan B is wildcating thr 2 RBs?

Yeah well I was agaisnt Hurney coming back and then helping hire Rhule but it happened anyways. Tepper has made it so bad and it's still ongoing currently.

I agree but also the Fox/Rivera mediocrity was feast or famine. Arizona bearly hits mediocrity at best and usually worse. Letting Rhule lead the teardown was such a multiplier of pain that it can't be understated.

Darnold is making 13 this year and 20 more next. It won't show until next year. Darnold has done a lot of good but his biggest issue is he chokes when it's put on his shoulders. Looks good when it's not. Now bring in a rookie to develop and it gets more positive IMO. Journeyman and fine at the right price...which is not set up well in 26 for them. Murray is all physicals and little else. They proved you can't win with him on a rookie deal but he is 'their' guy so it never mattered IMO. Tua was overhyped and couldn't carry poo but did look great when playing the worst teams. Again, Jones has never had a good non-contract year. Physically he has the tools and mentally he has matured but Im not seeing special or top teir. I still think Baker and the Bucs lead that list and is the only ones doing it well in the pay to value conversation. He is making what Darnold signed with more guarantees. That is the sweet spot for value to cost while Darnold isn't, even if they delayed the bill by a year. Murray is making about 50% than those 2 and around 60% more than Jones which is completely insane to me. Tua's contract is even worse than Murray's. I never had an issue with a loaner QB tries here, after Teddy. It was they way they did it and the staff doing it that was my biggest issues. Don't expect a savior, just get a contributor and put them is a spot to succeed.

The supply and demand reality is a big part of the issue but so are teams willingness to overpay even with the obvious issues it raises. They make their profit win or loss and it shows. Arizona hasn't been a contender for most of Murray's career but they keep him around because of supply & demand AND the fact that the owner wins regardless so why not hide behind s&d while keeping the norm going? No reason to play it the hard way, let a guy walk to be overpaid and then find a cast off that can be put in an overall better situation. Too much gamble when the house wins anyways.

A guy like Jones at average pay is going to not work out IMO. The 20 million difference to spend elsewhere is too large of a hurdle when the QB plays good but not carry the team good. They are in the sweet spot currently at cost to value with him. Darnold is pretty much the same. Good in a limited role but lean on him and he will fold. Tua didn't beat good teams when it had to be on his back to be the difference, and that was true when his team was stacked. All of Murray's talent has resulted in 1 winning season for them and 1 wildcard loss. The NFL has an overpaying mediocre QB issue. At the right price it's not an issue but can be a positive. It inevitably leads to a worse roster which becomes a poo show. NY gave up their RB because they paid Jones and proved that. The first is most likely leading to the second. Baker is bucking that trend but he was always the best of any of that group, even if his time here was pretty much the worst setup possible.

Dalton will look much older, Dave will throw it too much and the D will get reality checked. Bills 30 Panthers 13

It's the first and the second is the inevitable with thr first being met. Dude has 2 good years and both in contract years too.

I'll take Jones on a prove it deal but start talking average QB pay and it's probably going to end closer to how it did in NY. They can spend that extra 20 million elsewhere. And he did play well on his prove it year there too, that's how he got his extension he couldn't live up to. Some guys are better in that range before their own pay strangles what gives them their best chance at succeeding. His coaching looks good too but I would still be mighty careful with the extension they are probably looking at for him.

About 6 months late to figure that out

A good playcaller would just sub and not miss a beat. Both RB are good enough to do this so with so just keep running and subbing. Start the hot hand from last week and split the carries throughout. They are pretty similar in quality and ability with pretty minor differences. It's completely on the playcaller since they are so interchangeable. Give them both 20 touches and lots of playaction with Dalton.

Put him on IR while his trade value is at it's height
