I wouldn’t be against him being our next coach. QB coach for Herbert his rookie year, Mills his rookie year, and the OC for the Colts when Luck was there. He gets overlooked a lot IMO.

Blessing in disguise that he did not take the Panthers OC job, I get he did not want to be on the outs for a head coach that didn't have job security (which would be the 3rd time for him I believe) but the timing might benefit the Panthers for once.

I kind of wish he did so he could be the interm when we fire Rhule.

maybe Fields will be bad, but it’s hard to call Chicago a good spot for a QB.  2nd year, 2nd offense for Fields and he has weak WR talent. 

I think the 2021 class might be a great disappointment.  But both Trevor and Fields went to dumpster fires and are essentially already starting over in year 2. 

I was never high on Lance or Wilson 

but where a QB lands IMO has a lot to do with how they turn out in the NFL.   If you look at the ones who have panned out in recent history…..talent has been around them immediately and a consistent staff. 

Tepper has to look north to Buffalo to see how its done right.  Draft a guy and under no circumstance mess with the coaching staff for multiple seasons.  Let everyone grow and develop together under one system.  Changing coordinators and coaches every year is a death knell for quarterbacks

lol eat my shorts pats fans…little bit of adversity and back to the pre Bledsoe era they go in term of fandom.

Dallas gets the normie hate for being the worst fans, but the real ones know the Pats fan are the worst. In a league thats set up for all teams to go 8-9/9-8, their worst record was like 12-4 over the last 20ish years. Made like 10 AFC championships and won 5(?) bowls too......THings change- dreamboat hits the high seas and land another decent rookie QB.......They should be banned form complaining for the next 50 years(much like indy).

Baldy disagrees

 

Honestly he kind of got lucky with that play.  The secondary just quit defending when he ran to the side.   The underneath guy badly was talking about had no one around him for 15 yards instantly and he didnt throw it.   It would have easily been a 30 yard gain or more.   In the rain you take that all day.

Yeah hard to truly judge either team playing in a monsoon, like 2-3 inches of water on the grass

Giants EDGE Kayvon Thibodeaux (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

Thibodeaux suffered a sprained MCL in the preseason and was forced to miss Week 1. The team listed him as limited throughout the week heading into their opener, so getting the same status today as he did last Wednesday doesn't tell us much. We'll have to wait until later in the week to see if the No. 5 overall pick will make his debut in Week 2.

 

I doubt he plays.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
