I get wanting to see the rookie play, but if Rhule, Brady, and the OL coach doesn't think he's ready to get on the field, then I have no reason not to believe them.

This isn't the Rivera or Fox era where young guys just sat on the bench for "reasons."  They've had no issue playing rookies or young guys so far.  I think we should accept that Deonte Brown, an overweight 6th round pick, is quite possibly worse than Daley and/ Miller right now.

Yeah keep saying that but it's clear Moton should have been the LT and BC the RT all along. Now we have two turnstiles in the middle but worried about Browns weight.

Moton clearly looked worse at LT than he did at RT.  So no I don't think it was clear at all.  It was obvious why the Panthers were hesitant to make the move.

But guess what?  They did it.  They could have went with Trent Scott, but instead they trusted the rookie.  If Deonte Brown was ready, then he'd probably be on the field.

It shouldn't be a surprise that he's not as good at a position he doesn't play as the position he does play. I hope nobody expected him to be as good a LT first thing.

We don't know what is happening in practice.  We don't know why Deonte isn't on the field.

The huddle whined and complained about Elflein (who has given up 0 sacks btw).    When he got injured Daley went in.  The line performed worse.

Then the huddle whined and complained about Erving.  He got injured.  We moved Moton to LT and BC to RT.  The line performed worse.  So bad in fact, it set a multi-year record for pressures.

Now Huddlers believe they know best again.  Throw another rookie on the line.  That should do it, how can it get worse?  You'll see.

Those of you who cannot tell the difference between the line's performance in the Saints game and the Phily game, don't know what you are talking about.

Give it a rest already.

Of course. But again, that's my point.  The coaching staff has not shown at any point that they are gonna sit a rookie just because he's a rookie.  They could have easily kept Moton at RT and put Scott at LT.

So there is no reason to think they wouldn't play Deonte Brown, IF he was actually ready.  It's 100% believable that an overweight, 6th round pick is not ready to play in Week 6 of his rookie year.

He looked worse because he has been playing RT and had to switch. Still did great with a pretty hard transition. They fought this for weeks but we could have been getting reps with the best linemen we had. Brown isn't going to matter either unless we get him in there and get him reps. How could he do worse?

Sunday was Moton's first full start at the left tackle spot in three years I don't know why anyone would have expected him to look all pro instantly. He is by far our best lineman though. Some people still want him and BC to swap but this musical chairs act with the line can't continue on through the season they need some level of continuity.

took a injuries for freaking ANDREW NORWELL to see the field. Guy is still in the NFL and has been one of the best LGs in the league as an undrafted player. At least put Brown on the field for a SERIES. Early in the game when they're running the ball maybe? I don't get it.

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      By CRA · Posted

      I don't need that many words to say Bryce Young has not yet surpassed the caliber of QB play that current Joe Flacco represents.   I have watched every game Bryce has played.  He doesn't give you average QB play.   He can't make a ton of throws.  Bryce is consistent overall in what he is.  You can take outlier games on both ends of the spectrum out of play and judge him or any QB.....for Bryce it is unquestioned bottom of the league play.  All you have to do is watch the two play.  Flacco is good enough that if you can keep up right and give him time.....he presents a level of play Bryce can't do as a passer

      Not sure.  Which ones have more GWDs in the same time frame?

      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.
