Too bad to lose Brett. Not a huge stretch to say he might instantly become at least the second best QB on roster.

As to O'Brien, word is that nobody who had to work with him during his prior stint here would want him back. He's said to be a world class douchebag.

Wow, I remember so many threads about Basanez over the past several years on here. Some saw potential but everyone in the organization loved his work ethic as he always seemed to be striving to become better by watching tape and doing all those little things that get noticed.

Now he just kind of fades away.

Not many on here thought much about him...

Baz has potential. I'm kind of a homer, I used to watch him play on saturdays for 3 years. But he broke every Northwestern QB record, several BigTen records, and finished #13 in NCAA history in total yards.

Naysayers will say it was the system, not the QB. I will admit that it was a quick pass offense with a lot of very short quick routes which will undoubtedly inflate a QBs #'s to a certain extent. What people forget to mention is that he did this with no talent around him. He never had a single big play threat or go-to tight end. Not one of his wideouts or TE's was ever even drafted.

I'm still astonished he did as well as he did considering how many passes I watched bounce off receivers hands.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
