What you can take away from Preseason games

Trends, trends are the only things you can take away from games.

Good Trends:

Defense, dear god does our Defense look nasty, they have looked good in every game and IMO I fully expect to see this continue.

RB's even some of our backups look good

Bad Trends:

Offense, has for the most part been very bad, some questionable protection from the o-line and questionable play by both the QB and WR's.

Special teams have been putrid, anyone not named Kasay or Baker has been questionable.

Food for thought

Offense is missing Smitty and Stewie and O-line is having a few kinks that I expect to workout.

BTW Goodson may have just won KR duty

other then that there's not a whole lot that can be taken away

You can't take any thing from any preseason game at face value because "preseason means squat"!

Nuff said!

I was talking about trends over the course of the preseason, one game by itself is meaningless, but a trend that has appeared time and again should be looked at.

      That is probably a good point that I did not consider. It doesn’t force their hand financially, to declare early.

      Realistically he's probably not still going to be under contract when hes good to go again? Unfortunately for him you cant sign him for more than a small one year deal until he can prove hes still a good player... that might not happen.  I think hes played his last down as a panther.

      It has been going down that backyard ball road with the QBs a long time. It also has made it more difficult to evaluate OL for the pro game.    I agree though that the NIL is making it even worse. Then they get in the league and suck, coaches get fired. Here comes a new system every year for some of them, same as you are talking about in college.    Unfortunately, IMO, the league has responded by taking the path of least resistance offensively.    The only saving grace for the QB problem we identified here is the slotted salaries out of the draft. No more 100 million rookie deals. Which today would be 250 million and even more.  So to me, paying a player that doesn’t bring success in the first two or three years, you can’t do it. Better to take another shot in the draft or reclaim someone else's failure. Given that all staffs are not equal. Look what Shanahan did with Purdy for instance. And their getting off of Lance quickly.    In theory if Canales is a QB whisperer type, which we don’t know he isn’t at least to a higher degree than many (not including the established masters) we should be quicker on the trigger with these QBs. If Bryce doesn’t show out next year we really need to hit the reset.
