He's kinda the anti-Delhomme. Jake's stat lines usually didn't look great, but the guy made the winning plays when the chips were down. Cousins' stat line often looks great and then he folds like a cheap suit when it matters most.

Me too. I think defense is hamstrung enough already. But the NFL knows that the casual fans want to see lots of scoring.

Because he's basically a .500 QB with one double digit win season. Four total playoff games with a 1-3 record in them. He's basically a high level game manager. He'll get you what you are. Put a good team around him and you'll be good. Put a bad team around him and you'll be bad. Put a mediocre team around him and you'll be mediocre. He doesn't lift the team above the expectations of what the rest of the team minus him would lead you to expect out of that team. Previous teammates have basically flat out said he's a stat padder. He's more interested in how his stat line turns out than trying to make the plays that will win the game. Which is pretty much exactly how his career has played out. With his stats you'd expect his team's to have a much better W-L record.

Don't forget, Josh Allen had two back to back games early in his final season at Wyoming where he completed 9 out of 24 pass attempts and looked completely terrible. Kinda like Richardson and his Kentucky and South Florida games. It's not necessarily always about what they've done but what you think they could potentially do. With that said, yeah I think Richardson is boom or bust. Josh Allen was too. Hell, so was Cam. You just have to figure out whether you think they're gonna boom or bust. With some of these guys you just kinda know they're either gonna be great or awful. Their game will translate and they'll evolve or they won't. There's just no real avenue to mediocrity or decency. It's all in. One or the other. Boom or bust.

Scoring peaked in '21 with teams averaging 24.8 points per game. It dropped to 23 last year. It's at 21.8 so far this year. So year, scoring is trending down. I fully expect the NFL to further tweak the rules this off-season on an effort to reverse that trend.

In what world is nearly 50% more yards "pretty similar"? You can keep making this argument if you want but there's nothing to support it. Lamar is an NFL MVP. Daniel Jones is a guy who sucks so bad that the Giants didn't even pick up his 5th year rookie contract option.

See the substantial difference in passing TDs? And I know it triggers you badly to talk about a QB running but those numbers matter too. To compare Daniel Jones and Lamar Jackson is just straight up idiocy. No defending it.

You realize you can just Google stats to avoid making insanely idiotic comments like this, right?

Sure you did.

I told my buddy to keep an eye on Richardson out of Florida. The guy is very reminiscent of the Wyoming version of Josh Allen. If Daboll thinks he can make Josh Allen out of him I could definitely see him going to get him.

My good buddy who is a Giants fan is still trying to delude himself that Jones isn't the problem. Yeah, he showed decent promise as a rookie. But the guy has been trash for three straight years now, including playing for the guy who molded Josh Allen from a talented but wildly inconsistent prospect into a legit MVP caliber QB. Sorry man, Daniel Jones IS the problem. I told him, listen man I'm a Panthers fan. I have very begrudgingly become quite the expert in bad NFL QB play in recent years. I know it when I see it.

Haven't been keeping up with the thread but Daniel Jones is very obviously a tremendous liability. Daboll has done a great job but that team is going nowhere until the upgrade QB.

Lions lose another close game against a very good team. The post-game crew going on and on about Campbell changing the Lions' culture but this team has to find a way to start winning these very winnable games. Because right now they're a competitive team that just finds ways to lose.

Rivera level time management. WTF was that???

Why are the Lions not calling timeout????

Lions OC is doing WORK

The guy was talking about the Lions possibly being forced to punt on a two minute drill after a conversion on SECOND DOWN. Like WTF are you talking about???

I used to think Romo was arguably the best announcer in the game. He's become one of the worst IMO.

Oh wow, that's a crucial misses XP.

Offense isn't their problem. Their 5th on the league in scoring.

Wow. That is an absolutely bone headed penalty.

I don't doubt he's struggling some with it but that ball is still humming. I don't think it's bothering him as much as the media is trying to play it up.

This is Allen's chance to prove he's in the discussion with Mahomes. The media has tried to create the discussion, time for him to prove it should exist. All the injuries are on the D. Meanwhile this offense has cooled off considerably after a red hot start.

The Lions are a lot better team than their record indicates. Several very close losses to very good teams. Versus a team like us where you watch us play and immediately think "how the fug did this team ever win three games"?

You can't blame us for passing on Mahomes. We had no idea that QB would soon be a huge need for us.
