It's been pretty bad since around 2016.  Unsure how that lines up with a lot of changes there but outside of Duggar, Wise, think it can be argued it's one of the worst in the league.  Mac Jones and their punter the only pro bowlers since 2016.  Jury is still out on Strange, he's up and down.  Thuney (and maybe Shaq Mason) are their only draft hits on the OL in over 10 years.

And Mac Jones sucks. Everyone just got caught up in him being a super processor Tom Brady heir. Nope.

Oh he definitely does.  The pro bowl fillers after guys decline got some 1 year wonders to find their way in.  

Maybe another year without a full contact game will help change the tide.  

But yeah, Jones is terrible.

Weird story of the week...

She's since released this statement...

A colleague of hers stated she was talking about something that happened years ago, not now. Greg Olsen also spoke in support of her.

Kinda hard to think there won't be some fallout from this though...

Why in the world would someone in that position ever admit that openly? Just mind-boggling.

She said she's talked about it before and it's never been a big deal. Someone else also indicated it was something that happened in years past, not currently.

Still, this was...unwise 😕

Has been for a while now...

I expect rule tweaks to hamper the pass rush and help the OL soon. The NFL wants consistent high scoring games and they'll keep tweaking the rules until they get it. Physical DB play was the big hurdle 20 years ago. They addressed that and it led to more and more pass happy offenses and now the OLs being outmatched by superior athlete pass rushers is the new hurdle. They'll address that soon. They're already edging that way being very liberal with false start penalties. If you watch closely, most OTs are taking off just a hair early on most obvious passing snaps. The KC RT just took it to an absolute extreme in week one.

NFL Rules Committee leaked report:

Excerpt from super secret meeting held at an undisclosed Applebees in Jersey:  “Proposed Rule for Defensive Players Rushing the Passer- Rule #15436B.2.1-All defensive players must now count to 3 Mississippi before they can rush the passer, except on obvious passing downs, on which, they must count to 5 Mississippi.

Violation of Rule #15436B.2.1 will be assessed 15 yards and the offending player must tie his shoestrings together for the remainder of the game”

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Icege · Posted

      I'm arguing that should those supposed deficiencies, like height or pocket footwork, be as consequential as you and others have claimed, then there would be a clear, observable impact in the data. That's not unreasonable. For example, batted passes are often used as a size-related concern (see: Baker Mayfield), yet Bryce ranked among the lowest in deflections at the line. If his stature is such a limitation, why isn't it showing up there? Or are you suggesting that's why his passing yards fall short of your expectations? If the latter, I would hope that you're not discounting yards left on the field due to drops (of which he led the league in).  Also, asking for specific, measurable benchmarks isn't aggression... it's accountability. If that feels uncomfortable, it might be worth reflecting on how much of your anti-Bryce argument is grounded in subjective perception rather than objective metrics. So, again: do you have any specific KPIs beyond total passing yardage, height, and weight that you consider relevant to evaluating whether a QB is top-10? If you want to add YPA and passing yards per game to those metrics, that's fair, just be clear about it. But let's not pretend that asking for clarity is some kind of provocation. I'm simply trying to understand the actual criteria... not just the vibes.

      Jackson actually played quite well for a #2 CB #54 in PFF coverage ratings 12 pass break ups solid in run defense..... Hes gonna be targeted just because Jacyee IS being avoided.

      Yeah, these arguments are getting twisted to the point that it's just an airing of old grievances for the 100th time. No matter what happened in the past, no matter what the "trajectory" is, Bryce has to show why he was a number 1 overall draft pick.  If people didn't like Cam and what he did for us at QB, I hate to see what poor Bryce is gonna get if he doesn't reach Manning-esque heights.
