Oh, the drop off is pretty drastic but I agree that Chuba is starter quality. CMC is arguably the best all around RB in the NFL but it sure seems like he's becoming injury prone.

I don't think he's injury prone. I think he may know more about pro football than any of us here (growing up with his dad in the NFL and all) and he can tell bad coaching and a bad team as well as anyone.

I think he's making some business decisions, again, to ride out this season on IR as much as possible and hope for something to change. Stay at home with the girlfriend, do some modest workouts and rehab, cash checks and not throw your health away for inept coaching? Seems like a smart, Stanford-educated idea right there. 

I mean, why Barry Sanders it?

Same thing for Thompson in my opinion. And I can't blame him, either.

Our WRs have been playing as bad as Darnald. Moore is the only one that can catch passes that are thrown directly at them. Passing lanes are not always going to be perfect. Especially with our line but if it hits your hands you should catch it. 

The WR's are much less of a problem that our bottom of the NFL QB play(and bottom 5 OL play).

They are largely mirroring the poo around them.

You can't fake a hamstring tear - they'll MRI it and monitor it constantly.

I really think Chuba is good enough to start in this league and do very well. The drop off from McCaffrey really isn't all that drastic. Most of the problem is that Chuba is open on the check down but Darnold would rather throw a pick down field. 

And when he does check it down it's an inaccurate ball where our receivers have to do a pirouette just to get their hands on the ball and the result is no YAC at all.

Nope, not accusing him of faking it. I would say he's smartly taking his time on getting back and getting fully healthy again. 

This coaching/management regime isn't going to inspire anyone to Jack Youngblood it and play in the Super Bowl with a broken leg, yanno?

As a RB yes, as a receiver out of the backfield the drop is pretty large.

I can't wait for the "PJ Walker Is An NFL Starter" after we lose 27-0 and he goes 11-34 for 127 yards and 2 INT

I'd rather lose next week with PJ than with Sam.  Everything is last season on repeat....much only worse.  Last season got to the point, I preferred to lose with PJ than Teddy.

It guarantees the staff has to move on from the starter.  Teddy then.  Sam now.  The PJ mantra has never been about PJ being the starter.  Just displacing the pointless QB the team insisted on riding with and forcing the front office's hand going into the next year.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I had started typing my post hours ago and didn’t finish it and just came back to finish it, posted it, then saw yours and saw we were pretty much saying the same thing - even the games that stick out to us most.  I don’t think a lot of people remember that SF playoff game, but I felt like I had just got mugged in broad daylight.  I remember them calling Mitchell for unnecessary roughness, and then I remember watching Boldin take a super late cheap shot, dead in front of the ref and then showing him watching the whole thing in replay…  the refs let them have a fuging field day and didn’t do jack poo, but if we so much as breathed the wrong way it was fuging 15 yards.  Each team playing under two completely different sets of rules.  poo hurt.  I was enraged.  I’ve never went back to watch either that game or SB50 and never will.  fuging robbery.

      I’ve said it a million times since, but it’s impossible to keep them from affecting the game.  In SB50, they literally took the game from us, and they did it early.  Cotchery’s no-catch?  The miraculous amount of times we converted for a first down only to have it suddenly called back make it a 3rd down and 15+ against the best defense in the league that specialized in rushing the passer and man coverage on the back end?  And you do that enough times, you kill the morale and confidence of the team you’re doing it against.  It’s telling the one team “you can do whatever with impunity” and the other “you can’t do whatever they’re allowed to do.”  It changes the aggression level.  It essentially neuters one team and allows the other to do whatever the fug they want.  Imagine you call the police for help and they get there and tell you to sit still while the other party beats the poo out of you and you can’t defend yourself.  That’s what the officials do.  There is no way to avoid them affecting the game.  And more often than not, it’s the most subjective calls they use to do so.  Even in SB50…  you saw the Broncos commit more egregious penalties than anything we did, and barely any of it was called.  Their OL was holding all fuging game and the refs did nothing.  We already had our work cut out for us against two future HOF edge rushers and the refs played to their advantage with that.  From what I remember, both Oher and Remmers were called for holding at various times and their hands were in the INSIDE of the defender.  It was garbage, but all by design. Also, if there is any video of it anywhere, go look at what the refs did against us back in 2013 against SF.  The fix was in there too.  They stepped in early and often and ensured we knew we were not allowed to play with the same aggression or intensity SF was.  It was disgusting as well. at this point, I hope Vince McMahon, errr, I mean Goodell just finally scripts us to win it, because this poo is not won via competition or off merit.

      You can go back to the New York Knicks somehow getting Patrick Ewing.  I saw a story where they place the New York Knick card in the freezer right before the drawing.  It was simple.  Show everyone the cards are undetectable to the human eye.  All they had to do was grab the coldest card. IMO ever since Goodell took over the NFL it has been fishy.  Patriots winning the SB after 9/11, New Orleans after Katrina and Peyton Manning's going away gift against us. The terrible calls during that game were blatantly one sided.  New England should have been stripped of their first 3 SB when they were caught spying on the other team in their SB wins.  I think the evidence against the Patriots was so damning Goodell felt it could ruin football and they brushed it under the table.   In the 2004 SB, How did we go from practically no yards in the first Quarter to setting a record in the 3rd Qtr.  Dan Henning changes the game plan.  IMO probably the greatest half time adjustment of all time.
