It's amazing either how bad Julio is in the red zone for his size, or how poorly the coaching staff uses him there. No TDs this year, and hasn't topped 8 since 2012, with most coming on big plays rather than red zone TDs.

He gets a ton of attention and can’t really get his usual separation in that close. But definitely the weakest part of his game — 6’2” ain’t huge, but he still should be able to bully corners with speed/ups.

Double quote not working. 

1) Yeah I know but you injected him into the convo for some unknown reason.

2) Probably not the best decision (dunno if there was a better option as I didn’t see zoomed out replay), but he still was open enough and was delivered a very well-thrown ball. DB just made a great play — sometimes you’ve just gotta tip your cap.

 

And honestly, after that meltdown, we didn’t exactly deserve that game. 

1. My point had nothing to do with Cam at all, just a recent example that was on the top of my mind of QBs being blamed for picks whether they're their fault or not. 

2. When you're in game tying field goal range, you don't risk that. Agree it was a good defensive play, and poor play by Hooper but also was a poor decision considering the circumstances.

You take Julio’s 300 yard game vs Bene last year and he would have 1109yd last season. Julio is Josh Norman’s bitchhh

Tons of receivers are doubled all the time in the red zone and still get the TDs there. And I thought he was like 6'3" and has pretty long arms and can outjump most corners.

The NFL always circles the wagons and doubles down and protects their refs even when they make blatant mistakes, but I don't see anyway how they can do it this time with that Pats/Jets call. They claimed the replay process would be handled by the league office this year to ensure a better process, but it seems worse than ever culminating with that disaster of a call. Just inexcusable. Someone has to get fired over that one.

 Not to interject but you're not crazy I understood what you said the first time and I understood what point you were trying to make

Fair enough on both points. I don’t blame Cam for his tipped ball INTs, and this is even harder to pin on QB since it was in breadbasket. As for decision, I don’t totally mind being aggressive and going for jugular — stuff like this occasionally happens as a result, and after a half-decade+ of ‘Smittyball’ maybe I’m not as risk averse as I should be.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By NAS · Posted

      I find it funny those who continue to hate on Bryce based on his rookie year when he had zero weapons or offensive line have a problem with those of us projecting his career from the 8-9 games where he played like a top 10 QB and made more big time throws during that period than any other QB.  The stats may bot have been there in terms of yards or TD passes but that’s coming as the roster improves. For those who think physical traits can overcome roster deficiencies we all witnessed how Mahomes looked under pressure that Bryce faced for most of his rookie year, we saw what happened with Stroud in similar circumstances.  None of us were creating posts proclaiming Bryce as the next Brady but we can’t just sit idly while thread after thread is created continuing with the  anti Bryce tropes  instead of supporting him and just letting him continue to develop.

      To me Bryce's ceiling is his backup, Andy Dalton, in his prime.  Sure, he may get us some winning seasons and may even get us to the playoffs on occasion, but with an early exit.  To me he doesn't have what it takes to be elite and it takes an elite QB to consistently get deep into the playoffs.  He's not Jackson, he's not Mahomes and he's not even Allen.  In an organization like Philly, he possibly could have what it takes to make a deep run, but let's face it...Philly is well oiled machine and and we are a GMC Grimlin.

      If he was he would still be in the league.... Cam never learned to play QB without relying on his athletism and rocket arm.
