Seeing Walker makes me see Teddy's limitations too

Sure, Walker doesn't seem to have the split-second processing or the decision-making that Bridgewater has (not that I think that Teddy has been sterling in his decision making this season), but his arm, athleticism and more of a seeming willingness to push the ball down field was refreshing. Basically, it makes me yearn for a superior combination of the two, if I'm being totally honest.

I appreciate your honesty

Surprisingly the defense won us the game today.

I see your point for sure but Teddy ain’t throwing 2 picks in the end zone either. If we could combine his athleticism with Teddy’s consistency we might be on to something. 

Maybe this will make Teddy realize we have DJ Moore out there and we can afford to throw it to him more frequently and push the ball deep.

Thing is I don't want to get too excited for Walker, because of Allen. Also no teams have film on Walker and the Lions are terrible and their offense is gutted. If Cook doesn't get injured against the Cowboys I could see us having a harder time against the Vikings next week. Don't know if Walker can be a starter, gonna currently lean no, but yeah we still need a QB. But this win is gonna screw with out draft position. But it is what it is.

I say keep starting PJ.  Just as Brady tries to mask Teddy's deficiencies between the 20s, Brady can mask PJ's inside of them.  PJ appears to be the far superior QB between the 10s...  I'd rather have that guy who has the chance to LEAD a receiver into a TD or big gain on a deep pass versus the guy who won't even attempt that pass or underthrows them.

I could argue it either way. We left a lot of points on the board off those two turnovers. He cleans those up and I’m on board.

    • In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?
    • The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.
    • That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
