Two games is the difference in 9 and 11 wins, which is the difference in your ceiling and CBS's. We haven't beaten Tampa since Tom has been there. That would be a big swing to sweep them.

That perfect situation probably involves Tom Brady surprise retiring this week lol.

Your argument was that he's not always hurt. He missed those games because he was hurt. If the season was essentially over by the time he was ready to return, then why didn't he return earlier? Because he was injured.

He got hurt in the 3rd game of the season after having the highest usage in the NFL. Not much proactive about that. If they're really being proactive and saving him, why not just sit CMC starting week 1 this year until we see if the team has a shot at the playoffs?

I don't really understand this point. He's not Bermuda grass.

That's my main concern as well. Lots of fans are writing in a W for the Panthers week 1 because the Browns don't have their QB. But they have one of the better rushing attacks in the league, so if the score stays relatively close it may be difficult for the Panthers. If Baker and the offense can get up by 2 TDs or something, they won't be able to just pound the ball and catch up.

Mike Mayock is Matt Millen all over again. Television analyst gets job as GM and fails miserably.

This guy is an absolute statue in the pocket. I've never seen a guy so susceptible to being sacked. He doesn't even have a step move.

He did seem to get overshadowed in preseason this year, so its not that surprising. But I liked this guy. He catches the ball well for a lower tier receiver, and he's good on special teams.

Big arm is more of a bonus. I think the most important factors are.. 1. Can you process the field correctly in the short amount of time you have? Probably the most important thing. 2. Are you consistently accurate on the intermediate throws? Very important for 3rd and medium-long and red zone effectiveness. If you can answer yes to both of those, you have a good QB.

It's possible. But on the flip side, look at what's happening with Kellen Mond right now. He was a 3rd round pick, drafted a year before Matt Corral. He was talked up big going into the draft by Chris Simms, but he did not look good at all last year. The Vikings have a new coach this year and there is talk of Mond being released. That's not even 2 full seasons on the roster for a 3rd round QB. And the only decent QB they have on the roster is Cousins.

Well one QB that hasn't look particularly good is Kellen Mond. He was a 3rd rounder and it looks like he's on the verge of being cut by the Vikings.

Its too early to completely write him off, but it doesn't look good. From the limited amount he's played so far, it looks like we'd be lucky if he develops into a solid backup.

Chuba was bad last year too. He is a non factor in the passing game, and he doesn't have any standout qualities as a RB. You can bring in anyone off the waiver wire and they will be just about as good, if not better. For example, Abdullah looked better than him all year last year. Now there's some kid outplaying him in the preseason.

How many centers are walking around in free agency that could step in and do better? I think its pretty thin. Any running back we pick up is going to be at least as good as Chuba.

He's looked good but we'll see how he looks when the regular season starts.

Hope Baker stays healthy, cause he's the only thing between us and a season of PJ Walker.

He didn't need to use it on Corral though. He was already ahead of him on the depth chart.

Did any other team have 2 QBs go down in preseason? Damn.

Just like old times

This 2nd half OL got 2 QBs hurt this preseason.

Same as it ever was.

Just go for it on 4th down instead.
