No one ever said more TOP lead to more scoring. Theoretically, it's supposed to keep the other offense off the field so they don't score as much.

 

The problem with it is we chew up the clock but kick a field goal or punt and when you do that against a high-powered NFL offenses, it's just a recipe for disaster unless you field an elite defense. When you start throwing in mistakes or frequent 3 and out's because your offense has no rhythm, well you get the 2014 Carolina Panthers.

 

Rivera-ball just leaves such a razor thin margin for error because of the fact he's playing field position or for a field goal when he need to cap off a long drive with a TD.  I have no issue with ball control offense if the result is a TD, but Rivera seems to be just fine if a TD isn't the end result.

I agree. What we're doing isn't working and I don't like ultra conservative "don't fug it up" offense. I was just pointing out that more TOP is not necessarily intended to score a lot of points.

      Schrader / Jeremiah mock draft experiment

      By strato · Posted

      We have taken two TEs in three seasons I think, and Sanders may not pan out or it may have been a sophomore slump, but we took a guy last year that was coming on.  I am not in favor of TE in round one and really don’t consider it a high priority in any round.

      Draft intel from ESPN’s Jordan Reid

      Trevon Moehrig, Turk Wharton, Bobby Brown, Jaelen Phillips, Devin Lloyd, Nic Scourton Giving him 6 starters in 2 offseasons that cost boat loads of money or a 2nd round pick... Not exactly handing the man scraps. The point of the draft is to make the team better. You want to make this about Bryce. It isn't. It's about improving the team. And if anyone can look at our offense and go "we're good", they are lying to themselves. You give quarterbacks weapons. We SCREAMED for YEARS to give Cam some help. But now because we are trying to do it for Bryce, you all are saying we are coddling him because of his "deficiencies". It's a double-standard because you don't like the guy, clearly. But even if he does fail, guess what? The next guy has help too. Win-win.

      we have 2 solid/above average (however you want to phrase that) wr's, which is more than half the league at least.  We dont need to be blowing more first round capital just to placate Bryce and his limitations.   We have one absolute stud (probably top 10 wr) in tmac and we have a high floor guy with insane potential if he can stay healthy.  Yeah man we are in better shape than the bulk of the teams in the league.  If you need to add some speed or whatever, sure draft in the mid rounds or wait until tc cuts.  Its monumentally stupid to spend 3 straight firsts on a wr if thats the route they go.  ITs just more and more excuses for Bryce, thats where we are at now.    "How can bryce succeed without a big possession type wr (drafts 2 for him), how is bryce supposed to exceed without a speed guy......."   Its fuging never ending.  Give EE some goddamn help on defense for once
