Rewatched the Falcons game and this is what jumped out at me...

You forgot to add Clete Blakeman to the list of crooked refs 

I saw the Falcons game as an example of how overrated the defense is. Run defense is ATROCIOUS. Gross-Matos is garbage. They built the core of the defense outside of Brown to be small and fast. It’s a disaster to body up and defend the run. This team won’t win many more games with how bad the run defense is especially late in games. 

You sir, have a point. Run D does need shoring up, and sure, Clete Blakeman is an awful ref and should probably be stabbed in the eyeball with a fork repeatedly.

I can be a reasonable man.

Get your ADD under control for a minute and focus. It's not war and peace, it's 3 paragraphs.

To be fair, probably closer to eight or nine paragraphs if you were separating your points

Sorry I stopped paying attention after to be fair, I have no intention of being fair.

Also what were we talking about?

PJ is looking like a legit back up, I'm happy for the guy.

Thanks for the insights.  I like hearing what others think when the intent is not simply to bitch.

PJ, at bare minimum, looks way more comfortable and controlled than Baker and Darnold in the pocket. He doesn’t play scared or under pressure. He’s loose. That in itself is a breath of fresh air. 
 

I disagree about there being enough tape. There certainly is tape, but it’s not just about a player’s tendencies, but their tendencies within an offense. So he’s still in the “backup sweet spot” if you will IMO. Historically that’s been somewhere around 5 games. 
 

So the next 3 weeks should tell a lot. 
 

He’s easy to root for, and if he can be a relatively mistake free, average type starter through the end of the year, It eases the QB pressure, and would open up draft options, particularly since we have a young talented QB we drafted last year. 
 

They would probably still take Stroud or Young, but PJ balling means they wouldn’t have to reach for one of the other QB’s, and could get a pass rusher if need be. Then maybe look developmental QB round 2 or late round 1.
 

A lot of football still to be played though. 

We have no idea how Sam would look since he hasn't played yet this year.

Especially when you consider Bozeman who has been the key to our offensive improvement

To be fair, Darnold has never experienced a pocket in the NFL.

I’m going full Nostradamus here;

PJ will not be our starting QB in 2023

Can’t argue this. A lot of his problems when he did have a pocket, was he was expecting not to have one lol.
