We could trade for Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers tomorrow and they would look the worst they ever have in their career for the rest of the season.  Baker is playing below expectations and not good at all, to be frank.  He's missing the open throws and he looks scared.  But, shitty QB play is just a symptom of a Rhule offense.

Oh come on man. Both of those guys would make this team competitive from the start. This team does have talent.

I dont dispute we have talent.  But I maintain the offense is not conducive to good QB play.  The only way those guys would make us look any better is if they were given full autonomy of the offense, much like what TB did with Brady when he came in...  Look at the plays and play designs today.  Again, that could've been Brady or Rodgers on those bootlegs and screens, and those plays would still net nothing because the receivers aren't open.  It isn't the talent.  It's the coaching.

Yeah, I'm sorry, but I'm not going that far down the rabbit hole. You are blaming everyone. Not one player is playing well. Coaches sux, Owner sux.

 

I see a team that just needs a competent QB. Our D looks legit. Our run game can be effective. Our WRs ARE getting open, but the QB can't hit them.

 

Like I said. A COMPETENT QB makes us a very competitive team.

Idk what game you were watching, but those receivers were not open.  I counted maybe 3 or 4 throws where they were clearly open and Baker missed them.

Baker is playing like poo, but again, this offense has looked the same under 4 different QBs and 3 different OCs.  It's not the players.  Don't get me wrong, if a better option than Baker became available, we should be all over it...  but, they're still not going to look good either because the scheme is ass.

Yes, ride Darnold to 1-16 and the #1 pick 

I'm down for that.

And this time draft a Top QB instead of a Corner or something.   😐

 

If we're gonna fail, then let's fail SPECTACULARLY.

 

But I see Baker going back out there next week 'cause they won regardless.

Watching on tv is not the best way to evaluate how wide open WR are. Also, QBs need to be able to make throws into small windows. WR should not have to have 3 yards of separation to be considered open?

 

Also, let us not get sidetracked from the fact Baker was not so good today.

      Nice to win, but Tim Weaver of SI has key duds among the studs

      It is hard to win in the NFL. I’m never going to put an * next to a Dub.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      We had a very favorable matchup our o-line manhandles theirs. Even Etienne looked like he would have had a great game on his limited rushing opportunities.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I think that's part of the problem, he's spreading the ball around too much, many of them are the first read play calls, and on top of that, a large portion of them are purposefully called screens or other short passes. I just looked, the Cardinals are the only other team in the league right now without at least 3 players with 100+ yards receiving so far this year, with the majority of teams having 4 or more.  And even then, their #2 right now is McBride with over 200 yards. Our 2nd leading receiver this year has 108 yards (albeit with 4 more players with 82 or more). On the surface, that might not be as alarming as you might think, but when you add into it that Bryce is currently 6th in the league in pass attempts, and it's even more alarming that he hasn't gotten a 3rd player to 100 yards so far and his second highest is only 108. XL has 39 yards on 18 targets.  Renfrow has 82 yards on 24 targets.  Tremble has 87 on 16 targets.  Sanders has 92 on 14 targets. None of those are good enough, so why aren't we calling more plays with T-Mac as the first read and forcing the ball to him (and again, that's not me wanting my guy to get more targets, that's me wanting more targets for the only productive pass catcher so far this year, I'd feel the same no matter what that player's name was). All of this is why I have issues with Canales' play calling.  How do you have a player who had 73 yards in the first half and then you only give him 1 target in the 2nd half despite playing from behind the majority of that time? You can be happy about the win, happy about Dowdle getting 200 yards, but in a game where your QB threw it 30 times, I can't accept the above sentence in the same breath, that's just terrible play calling, which is on top of the already predictable play calling in general, which is also on top of boring play designs as well. Add it all up, and THAT is why I'm unhappy even after a win, not because "my guy" didn't have a bigger game.
