So... about kicker and a third QB.

Yikes.

I hate to speculate, but it's the internet, so I will...  Zane's injury did not look like a strain.  His reaction was severe and immediate, so I hope it's not a tear, but at the least it looks like a very severe strain and he'll be out a good while.

I suspect Darnold had a fracture, but if it's a high sprain, he'll also be out 4-6 weeks minimum.  Regardless, hate to see a guy get injured, but Sam was not helpful even if healthy and should've been cut regardless.  I don't like that he was injured, buy I like that it forces the staff to look elsewhere because Sam was wasted reps and a roster spot, period.  I'd like to see us bring in a young developmental prospect if one becomes available, or just a trusty old vet in the mold of a Case Keenum-type of guy.

Gonna be an interesting couple of weeks...  and honestly, kicker is a much scarier situation than QB right now.  I like the suggestion some made of the young guy from here that the Steelers just cut.  I also am curious where the ECU guy from the Ravens preseason last year is?  The Canadian guy with the funny name last season seemed solid as well.

All I know is, things just got real.  Real fast.

Jake Verity was waived by the Colts and just signed with the Jaguars… today, I believe.  Bad timing.  Great kicker.

      The ONLY thing Chark was better at during his peak than T-Mac is right now, is that he was an actual burner. T-Mac has better hands, more fluid and agile, better catch radius, better route runner. It's not about stats but short of literally having the video at my disposal (and know how) to cut clips together to compare them, it's just the quickest/easiest way to do it because they's so absurdly polar opposites in output. And again, this has absolutely nothing to do with T-Mac, it's 100% about just being realistic with who Chark was as a player.  I genuinely don't understand why people seem to think Chark was some all world player at any point in his career, he was never anything more than a league average player who had one decent statistical season as the only decent WR option on the team that year. I'd have said the exact same thing last year about MHJ, Nabers, Odunze, and BTJ vs Chark too.

      Just stop, man. All the college stats don't matter. Plenty of guys who put up big numbers in college flop in the NFL and you and I both know that there are 1st round and top 10 busts every year. While we definitely hope T-Mac isn't one and we hope he proves to be a great NFL WR, you can't assume poo about a rookie who hasn't played a down of NFL football yet.
