Stewart fumbles!

 

KB drops another pass!

 

Kuechly shook badly one-on-one with RB!

 

Olsen false start!

 

Gano missed field goal!

 

 

Derek Anderson was solid today. His completion % would've been much higher without numerous drops and guys not looking for the ball. He was even a threat on the ground. Two 100 yard receivers, a definitive game for Olsen's pro bowl bid, targeting multiple receivers including hitting Cotchery for an important TD, making plays to Philly Brown as well.

 

DA read the field well, made passes and didn't take too many bad risks (though there were a couple like the one over the middle to Olsen in triple coverage).

 

DA 2-0 record and 5TD-0INT.

derek anderson is not a diamond in the rough. he's cut and polished, sitting in the mid-priced section at zales. you wouldn't use him to propose, but you'd get him for your wife when she's mad at you because you forgot her 35th birthday.

 

 

You might if you were proposing because she was pregnant and you had to borrow money from your parents just to afford a decent ring a dinner at Applebees.  :)

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
