He seems to always get them a first down when they need it. I haven't really seen Laporta break games open like the other guys, either. I think they're both great TEs, just not really incredible like the other two you mentioned.

I've seen Laporta break tackles and take them to the house 50+ yards definitely not consistently at this point but yeah. 

 

And that's exactly what I said Kraft does... hes just not a guy whose gonna draw extra coverage or break a game open.

Herbert isn't all that surprising but Love and instances like Sam Darnold looking like the old Sam Darnold should be a good reason for us to not go out of our way to read too much into some of these recent games from our own QB. Plenty of quarterbacks have put together handfuls of good games and then came back down to Earth. It's hard to find the guys with staying power. Maybe stating the obvious there but it's difficult to have conversations about this here sometimes without removing emotion.

We're not going to know until we can actually get back into the playoffs. After that, well, I'll put it this way. There's a fierce argument about whether Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson deserves to be this season's MVP. Yet, neither have even reached a Super Bowl yet and it's guaranteed one will - once again - won't get there. Meanwhile, you had guys like Matthew Stafford, Nick Foles, and Joe Flacco win a SB. Purdy may be slandered for not being that good, but he at least could say he's played in two SBs. 

Basically, you could have the best QB and not even get a shot for the Lombardi while you could have a mid QB and win it all. We frigging lost to a noddle arm QB

I'd be nervous if I was the Eagles. With the way they dominated the box score in the 1st half that scoreboard is WAY too close.

Texans and Bills also started slow, but they pulled away the second half. Eagles will need to do the same, and that starts by not allowing a TD here.

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
