Seeing Sam Tecklenburg rated higher than Tommy Tremble and DJ Moore reminds me that those guys over at PFF are about as competent as EA's dev team for Madden. 😠

PFF is just a tool. You must understand context. Moore hardly played. Teck was playing against the scrubs.

Tecklenburg looked AWFUL against the scrubs. The dude has never once looked better on the field than DJ Moore or Tommy Tremble, during that game or any other game. The only context needed is that PFF's grading system is arbitrary and wildly inconsistent.

Anybody with a set of eyes can turn the game on, zero in on those players, and come to the conclusion that Tecklenburg was the worst performing player by far.

To break down film, you have to consider several variables, and many of them are related to the responsibilities of the OL. For example, on a screen, does the OL make contact and release properly so the QB does not get hit?  If so, what if he misses his block on the CB?  If he pulls and his C gets bull rushed into the backfield a little bit, causing the OL to arc his line, do you downgrade him for not reaching his block?  I just do not think these guys know enough to offer grades. What if a lineman down blocks on a double team and clears out the DT in textbook fashion---but he was supposed to block backside LB.  Will the PFF know that he missed his assignment?  A WR may simply be running off a DB, so he allows himself to be blanketed.  Is that a downgrade?  Too much gray area.

      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.
