So? He didn't want to play in Carolina. We had no shot at him anyway get over it.

You're not really good at reading right?  My point was...Rhule and Brady did NOT get who they wanted contrary to your dumbass post.

The last two days worth of threads and knocks on Joe Brady were expected and I contributed as well. Well my emotions have settled a little bit. Brady definitely has let us down as a fan base with his play calling based on the current situation of having a below average offensive line. However, I started to think about how much of his playbook is in the trash due to the poor performance of the offensive line, and what it could look like if we had an average to above average offensive line.

I think my question would be... If we had an offensive line that could give #14 .5-1 more seconds, are we looking at an entirely different playbook on Sunday? Is Joe Brady just bad because of his o-line? Have we ever seen a successful OC in the NFL with this kind of offensive line?

For those who are gonna state that we neglect the oline. Rhule and Co. elected to build the D first, we are feeling that. Im afraid the reverse of this situation would be much worse. I appreciate the build a strong D model and then build a strong offense (See Bills and Tampa). If we go another off season of ignoring the o line, then yes... raise the red flags. However, hearing our GM state "I am on the phone looking for offensive lineman" that should be encouraging. 
 

I don't think they need to necessarily hold longer, just with some consistency. There is no way Darnold trusts the 3 on the inside to hold their blocks. You can't expect him to go through his progressions effectively when he's expecting to get clobbered any second.

Give me a break with this lame tough guy act. If they didn't want him they wouldn't have traded for him you make it sound like they begrudgingly accepted him. They made the move for him now they have to deal with it and fix this mess.

Were they suppose to just not have a QB???  I mean, it's obvious Rhule and co. want to win.  They weren't rolling with PJ or Greer.  They had to take a shot on somebody.  So yeah, they went with their last option before the fug it just tank options.

Was there a better option this past offseason that I'm not aware of?

I've talked about Brady in a couple of threads today already.

No, he isn't the Sean Payton clone that we believed he'd be. That doesn't necessarily mean he won't be good though.

My most common statement on him is that he's way better at play design than he is at playcalling and game management. A big part of that is that regardless of how smart he is, he's inexperienced, and sometimes it shows.

That's not something you can change quickly. Obviously, it takes time.

It's a pretty common path in the NFL for a guy to become a head coach, fail at that, return to a coordinator job and be phenomenal at it.

Brady following that road wouldn't surprise me.

I'm not sure he's going to get a lot of interest after this year. His LSU buzz got him some interviews but he's not even putting up numbers like Chud was before he got a job. I mean stranger things have happened but I think he's learning on the job right now.

It was either draft or Sam or the farm for Watson before everyone found out about the skeletons in his closet. But yes Rhule and Fitterer were plenty happy to acquire Sam unless you think they are just liars. But if you want to really get down to it the qb Rhule and Brady chose first was Teddy they talked about him effusively to the press about that process and how he was exactly what they were looking for so 🤷‍♂️

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      You kinda gloss over this, but this is really at the crux of this whole argument....which Flacco are we talking here?  You bring up that he played with 3 different teams but ignore the fact that his performance varied quite a bit from team to team. 2024 Colts: 65.3% completion, 12 TDs, 7 INTs, 220.1 YPG, 7.1 Y/A, 90.5 rating 2025 Browns: 58.1% completion, 2 TDs, 6 INTs, 203.8 YPG, 5.1 Y/A, 60.3 rating 2025 Bengals: 63.4% completion, 12 TDs, 3 INTs, 290.6 YPG, 6.8 Y/A, 96.2 rating 2025 Flacco (Browns + Bengals): 61.1% completion, 14 TDs, 9 INTs, 252.0 YPG, 6.1 Y/A, 80.8 rating vs. 2025 Bryce: 62.7% completion, 14 TDs, 7 INTs, 196.2 YPG, 6.2 Y/A, 86.0 rating I bolded the comparison that I think objectively makes the most sense...just simply comparing the two QBs for the entire season.  Otherwise you'd be cherry-picking Flacco's time with the Bengals and ignoring his earlier stint with the Browns, which sounds an awful lot like people cherry-picking Bryce's stats in the second half of last season. So again, which Flacco?  Basically the only thing consistent with Flacco across each of these teams was his W/L records: 2-4, 1-3, and 1-4 respectively.  I'd say if we're comparing each version of him to Bryce this year: Colts Flacco > 2025 Bryce, Browns Flacco <<< 2025 Bryce, Bengals Flacco >> 2025 Bryce, and 2025 Flacco < 2025 Bryce - Flacco this year only beats out Bryce on YPG but in part because he throws significantly more passes (almost 60 YPG more than Bryce, despite a lower Y/A which is pretty telling) .  Flacco is maybe the most apt case study about how important a QB's circumstances are to his success.  He was easily a bottom 3 QB in Cleveland and arguably top 10-15 in Cincinnati...and we're talking about the same player from the same season.  All that happened was taking him from one team and plopping him onto another team; nothing inherently changed about him as a QB.  Funny enough I think that's all that one dude on here was trying to say when he made that long poorly-received post after having an epiphany working for PFF behind the scenes or w/e.  That it's largely short-sighted to just try to evaluate QBs in a vacuum when there are so many variables at play that ultimately decide whether a QB is successful or not.   I think Bryce has been mediocre at best this season and I'm ready to move on regardless of how he ends this season - I'm highly skeptical a strong end to the season will carry over into next year considering how last year ended and this year began.  I would certainly agree that he's a bottom-third QB this year.  I just don't understand you scoffing indignantly at anyone holding the opinion that Bryce has had a better season than Flacco...I can only assume it's recency bias.  Or maybe you know the stats don't support you, which is why you're conjuring up the god-forsaken arbitrary "eyeball test" which is the kinda thing people in here were saying about Fields for years, pinky promising that he really truly was a franchise QB despite his awful stats.  Perhaps it's called the eyeball test because I roll my eyes anytime I hear someone bring it up seriously as an argument.

      A question no one is asking about Bryce and The Panthers

      CMC said he expected to play his career here.  He didn't think he would be traded.  Carolina decided they wanted to trade him.  He picked here he wanted to go.   But we dumped him.  For largely peanuts.   But we dumped DJ Moore and he never had a blood and guts game.   So it's never a guarantee.

      I have many people telling me CMC was blindsided and heartbroken by the trade, but that's not how I remember everything going down.  49ers are pretty wounded right now on defense so if our offense can sustain drives and score, that'd be the difference maker. Their offense? I'm not scared of CMC.
