This is just stupid. No, not Kyle Allen starting, but announcing it this far in advance. Why? It flies in the face of competitive advantage. The Saints did the right thing this past week. They waited until the last possible moment to announce their starting QB. Why? Because it forces your opponent to hedge their bets. If you don't know which QB is playing you have to either guess and go all in on one guy or half ass prepare for both.

Rivera: "Dennis Daley is our best option at left tackle."

Gotta wonder if we're just shelving Little for the year.

I'm fine with doing whatever is best for the young man but it speaks volumes that he doesn't even seem to be in the plans right now.

I said the same thing in another thread.

Ron Rivera is so stupid it hurts sometimes.

It is concerning for sure.  I hate it for Little personally and also for the team b/c he seemed to be doing quite well, especially in pass protection, which has been extremely problematic to say the least.

They need to do what's best for Little.  I do hope he is able to come back at least by next year.  I am hopeful him and Daley can provide a long-term future on the left side

Yeah, it would be nice if Little and Daley could lockdown the left side of the OL for the future. 

I'd still be fine with spending a fairly high pick on an interior OL even if that was the case. Sorry, but Trai and Paradis are overpaid JAGs at this point.

I'm just hoping the team isn't looking past the Titans with the Packer game looming in 2 weeks. 

We're actually undefeated vs AFC opponents thus far in 2019. We just keep losing pivotal games against NFC opponents which will completely unhinge our ability to contend for a wild card playoff spot.

Little things like that is why we need a new coach. I'm so fuggin jealous that the Packers got (who I wanted had Rivera been fired) themselves a good young offensive head coach in LaFleur and got rid of McCarthy (aka Rivera) and are rolling right now. WE could be that team right now. Instead, we're stuck with this.

      How many QBs hit from any school?  I've seen these arguments a lot but honestly so few even hit that it looks bad for most.  Recent history on UNC for example, Mitch bust, and Howell was at one time a 1st rounder dropped to 5th and is now on his 3rd team, so maybe the Pats shouldn't have drafted Maye?  Nah you never scout the school.  Even the ones you mentioned are outliers in their own schools.  Baker was dominated for a pretty dominate school, but I can't think of many Oklahoma QBs aside from him.  It takes so much for these guys to find success.  Clemson had Watson and then he fell off mentally, Lawrence isn't living up to his hype, Cade is struggling before he is even drafted, Whitehurst and Boyd never did anything, and Dantzler had to change positions.

      Not gonna start a thread on this but AJ Brown seems pretty unhappy. I wonder if they lose a few games if they’d be willing to listen to an XL trade + a pick for AJ. Opens up cap space for them, and I do think XL could have a really solid role on that offense. TMac + AJ would be a top 5 WR corp

      I gotta disagree with this. Shaq was a very good LB. He just stood in the shadows of two greats.  And this team has felt his loss from the injuries and now his moving on. We were better against the run with him here.
