Hey guys, remember how after just having the most watched TNF game in years and having a great performance from our rejuvenated young QB in a win despite all of the injuries we incurred, the next day national media glossed over it to talk for hours on end about Justin Fields getting his first start?

I'd love to see him behind a bad Oline. 

I don't think he's as good as the hype right now. He often has all day to throw. 

That’s the case for any QB tho. If Tom Brady played behind a trash O line he’d have been out of league a decade ago

I think those days are fading, every time I hear the panthers mentioned now days it's competent, young talented. Maybe not hyped. But clearly well thought of

 

Definitely feel like it's starting to shift under Rhule.  I feel we're on that precipice similar to what happened in Seattle once Schneider and Carroll got there.

I saw plenty of the game on the RedZone channel, they even showed clips of how Fields can't get past one read and holds the ball too long.

This is how it's clear you're lying. Even Greg Olsen said you'd love to be able to say make this read or that read but the guys aren't getting open and he's getting killed within 2 seconds. Greg pointed out two missed reads the entire game. If he was throwing the ball to avoid each of those sacks he would have wound up for 5-6 interceptions.

Imagine if we did draft Fields with all else equal. We're sitting at 3-0, Darnold playing great, trying to awkwardly figure out what to do with a guy we spent a top ten pick on.

But all else wouldn't be equal because we'd be missing Jaycee Horn and probably wouldn't be far and away the number 1 defense in the NFL in every major statistical category. Just a complete lose lose.

Hate that prevent defense. They were all over Lamar on the first three downs, hence the loss of 9 yards. Go to a 3 man rush and give Lamar all the time in the world to find a wide open guy. 3 men rush never works well against a good QB unless it’s a Hail Mary.

Yeah calling a defensive  timeout allows the Ravens to set up a play and regain composure. Guess that’s why the Lions are winless….

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
