Teddy had accuracy and anticipation too.

Yeah, its meaningless if they don't know how and when to use it (like Teddy last season, especially downfield or in clutch situations)...  and that's just his take from that first day, and he has said he isn't a fan of scrambling QBs, so there's that.  And supposedly, Fields looked much better the next day.

All that being said, my personal take is I think they're gonna regret sticking with Tua.  I thought he was incredible pre-injury at Alabama, but ever since then, he doesn't look good at all to me.  Looks like he has less arm strength, not a mobile, and he seemed to have a much more pronounced wind up when I watched him last season compared to pre-injury in college.  I also didn't think he threw with any noticeable anticipation at all - in fact, it often looked like he would end up getting sacked or hit bc he held the ball too long.  But, everyone has their opinions, and Omar seems to believe in him.

As far as Fields, I've seen sources say he is absolutely killing it, and I've seen others that say he's not been as impressive as hoped.  So, who knows?

So if we turn into a winning team this year it's luck? Not shrewd management and coaching?

It will take a few lucky breaks for us to be a good team this year, along with the good coaching and management that we already know we have.

Winning 9 games is about where I think we are...so that would be a "winning" team, but not really a good team...IMO.

So, you are saying that a team, in the 2nd year of a rebuild, wins 9 games. And that isn't a "Good team"?

 

I guess we have different views on what constitutes a good team. Because to me. Any team that can win 9 games has to be pretty good.

Agreed with all of this.

OK.  I call winning 7, 8 or 9 games to be average...especially in a 17 game season. 

1 game over 500 ain't "good" to me.

QB is the huge one.

 

Not to me. Sam is the answer, until he's not. 

 

See that's the rub. I am still optimistic, even though I know our Oline is in flux right now. Why not be? Until the games start it's just Schrodinger's Cat. It may be good, or it may not. 

 

This s the fun part of the year. After the draft, and before the season. It is a time for excitement, and being giddy. Cuz once the games start. Who knows what will happen.

P.S. I didn't say that winning 9 games wouldn't make this a good year, I said it wouldn't make this a good team.  Big difference.

9 wins, with us beating a couple of playoff bound teams would make me feel good about the direction of the team.

 

I get that, and other than what number makes you good. We both agree that this team looks to be trending up.

      S Fowler Coker in, Legette out as wr2

      Yeah I'm still not sure about Canales' play calling but I'll give him another season. Still can't quite figure out why you think Young won't work out. His numbers with Theilen are as good as any QB Theien's ever had - including the three games he has started with Rogers this year. Cokers' numbers are as good as Theilens and he is an UDFA and TMac is in the run for ORTY with Young as his QB. Young's throwing more accurately now (from 21.5% in 23 to 16.5% this year) and he has shown he can make the throws in clutch moments. If you take into account he was saddled with XL, Chark, Mingo and Johnson for receivers at one point, had a coaching staff his first year that didn't want him and a current coach who is suspect at play calling, I'm not sure he has been as bad as people here say. I know he has had terrible moments/games but most qb's still on their rookie contract will.  Anyway, had to give my weekly BY plug. Guess I thought this was the perfect time lol.

      He missed a lot of time. Was slow getting back up to speed. And we have an offense that is not exactly WR friendly so his targets were low.  How many targets does anyone get when you have 120 yards passing, 54 yards passing, 160 yards, most of the time? It probably took the time it needed to take.

      The 5th year option jus gives them a little more time to make their decision and figure out the position going forward.  The idea that it means hes def gonna get a extension is asinine.
