Unfortunately his measurables don’t match what you are saying and his tape doesnt show a burner deep frankly. his agility measurables are very low for a guy in the league and we see that pretty consistently in his play specifically.

so, essentially, he was previously salty… accepted the invite and intentionally created a dramatic/embarrassing moment instead of addressing the underlying issue at the start? honestly, a soap opera but makes more sense than what takes is portraying

and when people start saying that 3 games after saying he was incompetent and coaches were hesitant to give him the job- it’s probably sell high territory ala Trent, or fitz, or… he has had a good run. I think odds are some regression. Who knows but that’s common sense.

the bills don’t have the luxury of paying a guy that hasn’t stepped up 8 figures a year.

yea, I want to cheer for him. Seems like a good enough guy and the type you’d like to see succeed - even beyond the fact that we have the need… but he just isn’t naturally gifted at the job when compared to guys who are top 64 at it. Doesn’t have short or long speed. Doesn’t have exceptional hands. Even his long TD this week wasn’t particularly fluid or skilled as an example of success despite the challenges instead of success because of high skills. He’s not a bum or lazy or anything. He just seems to be a tier or two higher than his natural skill set would normally warrant.

The pick to gabe was a punt that could turn into PI on 3rd and 20 Im great with that and would encourage Gabe to worry less about playing defense and more about trying to draw a foul because it’s the rare time that OPI or an interception dont matter at all. Go make a play towards the ball not the defender.

bengals are streakier than they should be for their talent level.

you celebrated mediocrity for decades. I’m sure you are beyond your wildest expectations right now. sure would’ve been nice to be a little better at a few things the last couple years and maybe gotten a parade or two.

Maybe they’d be first with the extra tool?

that and Davis is not particularly athletic. So if you have diggs and Knox out there plus diggs… It’s just not a particularly agile or blazing group though tua is getting more air yards/attempt too… https://www.fantasypros.com/nfl/advanced-stats-qb.php

that we haven’t in a couple of play calls doesn’t mean it’s not there or they haven’t seen it. That said, it’s not a terribly unfair argument you make either.

I’m even fine with playing to exceptional skill sets like hartys agility and short space speed but I think a lot of this loops back to identity. I also think they should give cook some touches down there just because he’s been such a hot hand. I think he could slip in and then also I think you have to reward him with one at soooooomepoint, right?

I think it was pretty clear they thought the formula to win yesterday was score 20 and don’t give any short fields. How much you can lean on that in this league is a question mark. Letting bad teams hang around within two scores can be trouble though I’d be curious the analytics of it. that said, they did reference Josh playing like he had to outscore Rodgers instead of Wilson in the jets game which was a point I made several times in the aftermath when talking about no one being in his ear.

Because it’s intentionally trolling

I’m not even sure what you are really talking about. The minimal attention and light joking about her being at 1 game?

that’s salary so just prorate game checks to get your number

the defense is certainly passable and if you add back Miller in a meaningfully close to peak form it becomes not just passable for a contender but an asset

as much as anything I’d guess situational more than getting rhythms the guy getting the 1st and 10 carry in a slightly pass heavy offense is going to like have both a higher YPC but also more touches than the specialty back for short yardage or a guy that isn’t able to be in on passing downs. you put the short yardage guy in more scenarios their YPC will go up based on more favorable opportunities not just more opportunities

it’s easy to run when on a bad team that is behind and the defense is just avoiding big plays? here in buff he was often a short yardage back or guy getting carries in more obvious rushing downs?

nor do you see him as a guy that wants to quit or be fired a season or two before breaking the record I bet so something may have to give in that, even if mostly behind the scenes

it is difficult to take that power, it would be easily possible to cede that power.

Herbert has absolutely not entered into 3rd best talk. Hurts has. currently I think the tiers are pretty consistently: mahomes burrow-Allen-hurts lawrence-lamar-tua herbert floating back and forth here Dak-cousins sure you can find knee jerk people to support any opinion on any individual guy for attention and clicks (and I’m sure in randomly shooting this out I didn’t include everyone off the cuff) but generally there’s not a ton of widespread divergence from roughly that these days And I don’t think that’s a terribly unfair area for herbert these days. Top 10 but not top 5? almost no one doing genuine commentary is truly arguing that. Guys trying to manufacture hot takes for attention are the only ones and not even that many of them are taking the stance. There are likely more flat earthers than Herbert over Allen takes.

last year both Allen and Williams were hurt as well as Herbert himself. that made up a lot of his 50 game career

the expectation that every qb has to be a top 3 to be good is a bit of a challenge in these discussions too…

Honestly, only sort of? Mccaffery is only on pace for 60 catches, ekeler had 107 last year the 9ers perimeter threats have a bit more vertical talent too
