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.

      Can we all admit it now?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      You’re right. I was thinking of the GB game with the silly reach for the goal line when he wasn’t close that turned into a goal line fumble. I do remember all the discussions in here about end of the game interceptions and bad passes, etc. but that wasn’t against the Chiefs. That said, still the best season by a QB since Cam. Best 4 game run was Darnold to start 2021, but best full season was Teddy. That makes me really sad.

      Agreed. I think they never seriously considered him an option even though he was/is miles better than Darnold.  I think the ego stuff was massively overplayed. He was played for the Browns, a disaster organization, and he accomplished more than they have in years. He came here to another diaster organization that happened to be worse than Cleveland and he didn't succeed. But, how could he? Frankly, who the fug could? I think our general fanbase really underestimates how terrible this organization truly is. It can nuke anyone.  poo, you see how Stroud is struggling with a damn good Texans team? Can you imagine how bad he would be here in our circumstances?? He can thank his lucky stars we made the choice we did.

      I think the vast majority of QBs only thrive or die based on their situations. But some are capable of making everyone else around them better in a way they redefine, or at least elevate, those situations. And some of the former group also just never will really have "it" when the moment matters. So far it feels like Bryce either needs the perfect situation or he just doesn't have "it". I suppose we'll get the season to see if that changes, but to call me skeptical is an understatement.
