I cant say I understand this one either but I don't care how points are scored the one I've yet to figure out on this forum is why posters are quick to point out a RBs short shelf life yet don't seem to understand the same applies to QBs who run the ball 15+ times a game.

Well not only shelf life. But it's hard to go 90 yds in the Superbowl with less than 2 mins if you can't be surgical with your arm.

You aren't going to run your way there.

QBs in this day and age really need to be mobile. Sure there are a few exceptions like Brady but having the ability to run when there is an opening and there’s nothing else there is definitely important. Rodgers and Mahomes are great examples — neither are “running QBs” and very rarely do they have designed runs but they are still mobile and put up 200-300 rushing yards a year on plays where the opportunity presents itself. Statue QBs in this day and age better have Brady’s pocket awareness or they won’t stand a chance…

Yep. In these modern spread offenses when the other team blitzes the ball either has to come out immediately or you have to have the ability to make a guy miss or otherwise buy a little time. You're just not going to have enough blockers. You don't necessarily have to be a runner but the pocket statues have fallen out of favor.

Certainly, and yet you don't elite mobility to have elite pocket presence.... But I'll agree you will probably never see a successful statue like Drew Bledsoe again.

Guess what? You don't have to use a stupid spread offense.

Establish the run and use play action. If you execute you won't lose. 

If I had my way we'd grind people into submission.

What's stupid about it? All the top offenses are that way. With the way the game is called these days it's the most efficient way to move the ball. I you don't have a good QB then run the ball and play stall ball. But if you have a legit QB spread it out and make the other team try to match up and keep up.

These 4pm games are not good for gameday beer drinking with me. Oof 

the older I got, the more I wanted 4pm starts. Never was a big roll out of bed and grab a beer fellow. In fact I had a rule at one point given my family's history with booze, none before noon/lunch.

Funny deal, not many years ago for a 4pm start. I screwed up my "pre-gaming" and passed out just before the start. embarrassing plus i was caught by a friend whom used it against me for the next few months...

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By panthers55 · Posted

      I see progress and improvements. We aren't the same team we were even at the beginning of this year. You want to harp on the past while I am all about the present and future. Do I know thinks are going to be great moving forward? Actually I don't but I prefer to look at the good instead of the bad. Since he is surely going to be the QB the rest of this year barring injury, I am going to root for him to succeed instead of fail. I always said if we are going to finish at 500 for the year I prefer we win at home since I will be there and want to see wins and crying opposing fans like the cowboys. So far mission accomplished. Now we have to show we can win on the road.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
