Bijan is legit. I agree.

Luvu had a bad missed tackle in the backfield on Bijan's TD play.

and he had 4 other guys do better than him in receiving on that same team with the same QB. He is a high WR2 IMO. Never been great at getting TDs and would disappear some games without getting separation. He is solid at YAC, but has left some to be desired in route running. We could definitely use him, but he isn't some game changer the huddle is making him out to be now that he is gone. To show the full picture Fields was 24/37 for 216 yard 1 TD and 1 INT plus 59 yards on scrambles while getting pressured more than any QB in week 1. Moore contributed 2 catches for 25 yards. If only we had that we would have won....

No way. We had 3 TOs on the road (4 if you can't the failed 4th down conversion). On top of that our punt returned pinned us on the 1 yard line. I remember plenty of games where Moore couldn't get separation until the game was already over. What did Moore have yesterday with the Bears?

They played well through most of last season. We had a 4th round rookie starting at OG and still looked solid. They will have their share of bad games I am sure, but they definitely aren't my top concern from week 1. Not to mention Corbett will be coming back after a few more weeks.

Man these guys really can't let it go that the team went in a different direction. It's sad really and I don't think Stroud was able to even score a touchdown in his rookie debut. Growing pains are just part of it.

Wasn't he the die hard Stroud guy until the day of the draft?

We need to get Mingo vertical more too. He is a big body with some speed. Young overthrew him on a possible 99 yard TD.

This year is pretty much dedicated to developing our franchise QB. Benching him would be pointless.

Why can’t Fields make the next leap???? Here is the answer…

Makes sense.

Luvu had a bad game. Should have hit Bijan in the backfield on his TD, dropped an INT just off the top of my head. We would just need to allocate some of that cap for the OL. A weapon for Young and possibly extending some OL for example would be a start.

I was about to post something similar. We need to lock in Brown before the DL market gets reset by another player. Burns and Brown get contracts and right now Chinn (unless he signs a reasonable one) and Horn will be the ones we replace.

Yeah it really wasn’t that bad. We hung around and eventually the 3 turnovers (4 if you count failed 4th down conversion) with 17 points coming from them was too much to overcome. Our defense played much better than expected just ran out of gas at the end. Basically our rookie QB made a couple rookie mistakes and if he cleans that up (which we all know he can) we will be fine. I mean our staff addressed the media saying we may start off rough, but will look much better by season’s end. Now we have people writing off Young. Well ok if we are using game 1 as a sample size, AR is injury prone, and Stroud can’t score at this level. I guess they all are busts?

I try to watch every game unless we have something planned with the family. I get excited when they play well and frustrated when they don’t. However through conditioning of many letdowns I can pretty much flip a switch and be content if they play bad right after the game.

Yeah I’m seeing 2 sacks and those cane at the end whenever they would blitz knowing he had to pass one was an overloaded blitz.

But Cam 2.0 looked better in his loss before he got hurt?!?!?!??? Seriously though, great post. It’s a tough game for rookie QBs, especially when they start off on the road. Young looked good one series and bad another. Seems to be about right for a rookie’s first start.

He honestly is better than he gets credit for. I’m not a fan of his, but he seems like a solid mid-tier QB. Also he has never really great weapons to work with.

Ok that make me lol!

Happy that I have Tyreek Hill in fantasy. He went off!

DJ Moore was solid, but I’m not going to sit here and pretend like there weren’t games as recent as last year where Baker and Darnold couldn’t find any WRs getting separation. I feel like we as fans under appreciated Moore while he was here, but definitely over appreciate him now that he is gone.

Matt Rhule would have ruined them.

I assume he was nervous being his first game and on the road. He should let loose as he gets more comfortable with the offense. He had a lot of fire in him during those Alabama games.

Agreed. He overthrew what would have been a 99 yard TD to Mingo. The overthrow to TMJ was on TMJ slowing down mid route.
