Justin Fields is 7/9.  You gotta throw the ball more than that if you're losing by this much.

That's why I don't get too heavy into the Horn vs Fields talk.  What I've watched of Fields, he appears to be not much different than so many QBs who have come through and been average to bad in their careers.  Why?  Because for all his incredible talent and natural physical gifts, he seems to lack the in-game mental part.  Just like Darnold, whom so many "experts" loved for his physical gifts and abilities, he seems to struggle with processing what he's seeing, so if the first read or two isn't there he panics.  Difference is, Fields is such an incredible athlete, he's been able to make some amazing plays with his legs once he doesn't trust his eyes or arm.  But, that isn't a sustainable form of offense and isn't much different than what they did with Trubisky because he had the same problem.  They don't trust what they're seeing, and that's what separates the greats from the bums.  I don't see Fields being an elite passer now or in the future, because it's generally something guys either have or they don't.

I've said it before, but the whiff wasn't taking Horn over Fields.  In retrospect, it looks like the mistake was taking Horn over Surtain.

Micah parsons is an animal.  Much rather have him then horn

I was here saying we should have drafted Parsons in the first Trask in the second that season.

Both could be helping right now. Not trying to take credit, just saying huddlers shouldn't be out gm'ing the Panthers.

Not sure I would say it yet. Horne has still only played five games.  And some said the same thing regarding Ridley and DJ Moore but eventually, taking DJ turned out to be the right choice.

Yeah, I know there is still time, and I always believed in DJ more, for whatever its worth.  But idk, Horn just looked so much more impressive in limited looks as a rookie.  To me, he looks a lot more stiff, slower, and flat-footed this season.

      Week 6 PFF grades vs. DAL

      By CRA · Posted

      PFF feeds the beast.  So it’s largely popular for that IMO and is embraced by the NFL machine because it helps feed the beast.  Thats why you see the cute stats pop on the Monday Night football screen lol.  Hot takes? Fantasy football? Yeah, it’s good for the NFL machine for lots of reason.  I do think the league embraces them.  Not because they are actually good at doing what they claim. actual analytics folks are critical of PFF.  Because it’s not analytics.  It’s subjective goobly goo ratings by dudes that aren’t really qualified nor even have the info to do real grading.  you got legit NFL players who say they have literally put PFF grades by the coaches grades and they are worlds apart.  Players have laughed at them pretending they can grade certain plays without the underlining info.  NFL coaches have called out there bologna at pressers.   could it be a quick tool to find out some info that has nothing to with their subjective grades? Sure.  There is a lot of data on 32 teams for cheap. But I do not buy the narrative 32 NFL teams think their grades are worth a poo or remotely accurate or meaningful.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By PootieNunu · Posted

      I think that win vs Dallas gave them a big boost of confidence.  Thats a team that blew us out the past 2 seasons. Even when Bryce was playing okay late last season they still beat us pretty bad.  Lets see if we slaughter the Jets or go back to playing sloppy uninspired football and go from there.
