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.

      In addition to Evero there's one large change that likely should happen.

      By Saca312 · Posted

      It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.

      CBS Sports brief discussion about questionable Canales decision making

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
