Why was Kalil even active?

It seemed obvious he wasn’t going to play this week, especially when Rivera basically flat out said during the week he wouldn’t play. We had Larsen and Van Roten active. Would’ve been better off having Armah active over Kalil to provide a boost to our offense, even if just because of his energy, toughness and demeanor on the field.

    My guess? Matt practiced this week, he traveled with the team, it was probably a game time decision. It just didn't work out. Although, it could mean he is close to coming back. 

 

   As for Armageddon. Some one posted the fact that when he plays, we are only averaging 3.7 ypc. So I don't believe his contributions are a big a deal as what was thought. 

 

    Been trying to think of who I would have activated had Matt not been active. I just can't think of anyone. So I guess, to me. This isn't a big deal.

You would have thought that the coaching staff would have realized after the last 2 games, that having Armah in as FB is a big boost for our run game.  Kalil doesnt make much sense and neither does Fozzy.  

 

    Someone posted the stat earlier, that we are only averaging 3.7 ypc with Armah. So he seems to not be making the difference folks are wanting to credit him with.

 

    Would have to think they were hoping Matt would be able to go. He is obviously getting close.

other than the 40 yard break out by CMC, what did our RBs average yesterday?

    You can't just wipe out his 40 yarder. That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works. lol

 

    That said. I don't know. No a whole lot is my guess.

    I don't think it was much worse. Something like 3.1, or somewhere in there. Slightly over 3 anyway. He made a difference. Just not enough to call it an qualified success.

Before week 12 , the team is averaging 3.9 yards per carry . Both McCaffrey and Stew averaging below 4 ypc is bad. Cam and all of the end arounds we did skewing the ypc pretty bad too.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
