I think this is a win we can definitely build off of.

REMEMBER... this game had a lot of question marks for us. We didn't know how Zach Wilson was gonna look, who was even gonna be their CB2, and a lot of rookies/new players on their roster along with a rookie coach. 

Not to mention a big change switch/change after half time. They threw a lot at us. A lot we likely didn't expect. Likely got complacent at half-time thinking a rookie coach couldn't rally his guys together and make the right adjustments at the half.

I think this was a great game to build off of. a lot of good and a lot of bad. Will definitely be a lot of tape analysis and I think we will see a big difference in week 2 from week one. 

They treated Sam like a rookie and let him spam CMC. Not what you want all season, but let him get comfortable and build his confidence. I believe they will slowly open that playbook up and we'll see a little more each week as the season continues.

      Coker to IR; Renfrow signed to 53

      I think cutting Renfrow at the time was actually a move to try to increase Thielen's trade value. They are essentially the same player and having them both on the roster slightly deminishes their value.

      In my view, and this is not based on any evidence beyond memory, the best backups are those who were drafted, thrown into the fire too early, then discarded as a bust.  Some really improve once they have been given a chance to lick their wounds, watch, and work with the QB room for a year or two.  I think there is something to the Parcells (I think) formula:  "Bill Parcells had a seven-point "formula" or checklist for drafting a quarterback: be a three-year starter, a college senior, a graduate, have a minimum of 30 starts and 23 wins, maintain a 2:1 touchdown-to-interception ratio, and achieve at least a 60% completion percentage."  Having said that, Parcells' comment was long before the new college offenses and portal jumping, but the basic formula frames what it takes.  So players like Trey Lance, Anthony Richardson, Zach Wilson, Jameis Winston (to a degree), are TYPES that defend my position.  Richardson has not hit rock bottom and rebounded yet, and I am not sure Wilson will ever amount to anything beyond his 2020 BYU season, but this kind of player knows what it is like to be the "the guy" and they know the weaknesses in their game that other teams exploited.  Of course there are exceptions etc., but this is simply my preference.  Derek Anderson is a good example. In college, he completed 50% of his passes and threw 57 interceptions vs. 79 TDs.  As a backup, he was not bad.  I think Dalton is a decent backup, fwiw.  Anderson actually won 20 games as a pro (vs. 29 losses) and when he started for the Panthers, he was 2-2 (2014 and 2016) and completed 67.5% of his passes.
