It's just PFF-esque brain rot IMO. I just watch football. I don't really care about whatever arbitrary rating someone or some system comes up with. My eyes told me Rodgers didn't look good tonight and he threw a god awful late INT that cost his team the game.

I didn't watch any of Howell, so I have no basis for any comparison other than a box score.

If he gets to play some meaningful football next season then perhaps we will have some idea about his NFL future.

Usage rate looks a little Darnold-esque.

Typical Rivera offense. Run 1st down, run 2nd down, throw on 3rd and long then if you do somehow build a decent lead go ahead and run on 3rd and long too. Howell bailed them out on several third downs. A couple running, another on a though cross body throw while scrambling. Should've connected on another deep bomb but the receiver let up for some reason, ball was a dime. Another 3rd down McLaurin dropped a perfectly thrown ball at the sticks where he had room to run to boot. Made some good decisions with a couple of throwaways and sliding when scrambling. Only really bad play was a pick in the endzone. Ron addressed that and basically said Howell tried to finesse it instead of sling the thing like he knows he can do. It was a low percentage shot that should've been to the corner where either his guy got it or no one got it.

He looked damn good from a traits perspective. The arm talent looked damn good on an NFL field vs. starters. The wheels looked good. The Commanders have something to work with. Wish we did

OROY is looking super close this year, there were a lot of really solid performances, no breakout stars but a few close ones.  Pierce was a clear frontrunner as he was at 950 rushing before getting injured those last 4 weeks, but that changed it up. 

You've got:

Garrett Wilson, Kenneth Walker, Chris Olave, Brock Purdy, Christian Watson, Isiah Pacheco, Tyler Allgeier

I'd say those 7 all have some arguments.  Can confidently say Pickett, Pickens, B Rob, & White won't get it.

As much as I dislike ATL, Allgeier really showed some stuff down the stretch, ended up with a 1000 yard season.

But think it comes down to Wilson & Walker, I'd give it to Wilson but betting odds are favoring Walker.  What Wilson & Olave were able to do with their respective QB situations is impressive.  In SEA, I'd just as much give the OROY to the entire rookie unit of Cross, Lucas, & Walker.  Abe Lucas ended up being a real find.

      I noticed that we did not seem to be too worried about CB, although I really like the CBs we added (draft and undrafted signings).  However, we can't go into the season with an injury prone CB, a 33-year old nickel, and a free agent, former seventh rounder.  Even if Gilmore is used sparingly until we have an injury to Horn or Jackson, we need another veteran. I think both Willie Drew and Smith-Wade have a good chance of making the roster, and I don't think rolling with six CBs is ridiculous in this day and age. Morgan was focused on Offense and, as you recall, pounded the table for Dane Jackson in Buffalo in round seven.  He seems to have found a pair of gems yesterday, but they take time.  They fit a "type" (good tackling, versatile). I also think Gilmore might be good for Clowney as well.  To your point--if we sign Gilmore, I feel very positive about the CB room.  If Horn stays healthy, it would be a strength and not a liability.

      2024 Draft: Day 3 (Rounds 4-7)

      Kinda have to be a jack of all trades when your starting spot just got handed to someone else.  You try your best at what is asked of of you by your employer in a different role or be looking for work elsewhere.

      How short a leash will Young be on?

      By strato · Posted

      Well wait. They are building a team as we speak to cater to a under equipped player’s deficiencies. Put a little differently they are overbuilding it to compensate for the design flaws of a weak component.  No one would design an NFL QB with Bryce Young as their template.  No. One.  It is always around this point that I get really pissed off or frustrated and lose the thought or point I am going for, because I look at it and realize that what I just wrote, is 100000% true.   So I lost the point again. Sorry 45. I get so pissed off at the decision makers that put this on us. It isn’t about whether Young is a good kid. Doesn’t matter. Besides that he has no underdog cred, at all, and that is the only reason I’d have to ignore my good sense.
