Shackling your quarterback


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

My biggest problem with Jake's play yesterday was that we were moving the ball down the field on the next to last series of downs throwing short and medium range passes. We had plenty of time. In fact, imo we needed to ensure we scored and used all the clock in order to ensure New Orleans did not get the ball back. So instead of doing what was working, we threw to deep passes and both were incomplete. Even if we had completed the Smith pass, we likely would have scored too quick and still lost when New Orleans took it back the other way.

And that's Jake's fault, of course. Everything that goes wrong is.

Agreed, At this point whats the difference between starting Moore or Shackling Delhomme.

I was thinking about something similar today, what's the difference between shackling Delhomme or starting Rodney Peete. We're basically back where we were at the position. As for Moore, it would be quite different I believe.

    • How many elite QBs do we have right now in the league? And how elite are they, really? Mahomes - I seriously doubt anyone would say otherwise. My only counterpoint is that since Tyreek left, he has not been as explosive. Only one with a ring. Allen - Yes. His first year was rough, however, and even now, he's a turnover machine which has cost his team games. Wouldn't surprise me if he regresses as talent around him goes elsewhere. Burrow - Can say he got to a Super Bowl but injuries may be a concern. All those sacks he took may be coming back to bite the Bengals. Jackson/Prescott - Can't win in the playoffs even with rosters around them, so no. So there you go. At least in my eyes, there's only maybe 3 right now. And over the past 10 years, QBs not Mahomes/Brady that have won were (noodle arm) Manning, Nick Foles and Matthew Stafford. Even Stafford I'd argue was a one-shot because the Rams absolutely went all-in with talent. 
    • Without Guentzel, the team has a better chance of being able to keep Jarvy long term, Noesen for another 2-3 years, Drury and Turbo maybe. And I'm saying that because I think Jarvis will make us forget about Guentzel.
