Hate to repeat / beat a dead horse but Steve Smith is much more terrible than usual.  He starts talking and then he's like an old guy like me - trying to remember what he was going to say.

Only thing worse is when he actually remembers and finishes a thought that only he can understand. Previously, he occasionally had funny thoughts and intermittent insights. Hopefully, just a bad day.

 

Smitty and Jake are the only thing fun about this game…

I think Wentz went down well after they clinched a playoff spot. But yeah he deserves a ton of credit, he didn’t carry that team but he definitely was a big part of that ring 

Yeah, iirc, I think Wentz was injured against the Rams and they had already clinched and I believe we’re just playing for the #1 seed, but Foles definitely played lights out once he stepped in.

Just curious--when was the last time a backup QB took a team to the playoffs?  I don't recall. 

To be clear I'm not even asking for playoffs I'm speaking strictly someone who is younger with any level of upside because this is definitely nothing more than a developmental year looking at how our offensive depth is performing currently.

What was confusing about the post? If you are legitimately excusing the effort the FO made to improve the QB room then you might as well put on some lipstick and go ahead and lay a wet one on David Tepper's ass.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
