QCity

No, they aren't meddling. If they stayed away from the team we'd be getting articles titled, "Where have the Pegulas been throughout this mess?" and "Do the Pegulas even care about their football team?" Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

List of rookie QBs since 1970 to start & win their team's 1st two games of the season without throwing an INT: Carson Wentz

My contention that a feast (long bomb) or famine (3-and-out) offense produces a dismal TOP isn't specific to the last Jets game -- it applies to any game going forward, and it should be obvious why. Unfortunately, this is a different year and right now we are 31st in the league, and soon to be last after Chicago plays tonight. https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/average-time-of-possession-net-of-ot?date=2016-09-19

With the SS (Pryor #25) pressing and the FS (Gilchrist #21) that high Clay is the hot. Their rookie LB (Lee #50) blew his coverage assignment and then fell down. After the play was over Gilchrist immediately pointed at the center of the field to indicate that they just dodged a huge bullet. This is not considered a difficult read for the QB to make. I meant exactly what I said -- red zone. There's nothing wrong with two long touchdowns, but if that's the only way you can score and the rest of the time you are going 3-and-out, your defense is going to be on the field for 40 minutes. And that's exactly what's happening.

Next April the team has to make a decision on both his $15.5M option and his $12M salary which both become guaranteed at that time, it's a $28M decision with a future cap impact as well. That contract only favors the team if he improves this year. If he doesn't and they have to cut bait, then maybe John Clayton was right all along, and he winds up in Denver.

It is what's expected of every starting QB in the league.

There was 1:24 left with 2 timeouts. Clock was not an issue. I did not. I have an huge issue with the read post snap, that won't cut it in the NFL. There's a possibility Clay takes that to the house.

The A22 has been brutal for him.

Tyrod posted a 112 QB rating the last game, a game in which he didn't reach the red zone until the end of the 4th quarter. That should tell you what a mirage QB stats are.

They're not bringing in a new GM with the current coach still in place, that's ridiculous.

I pointed out a few of his positives while basically saying he can't play QB in this league (that was the gist). It's kind of like saying I love EJ's work ethic and enthusiasm, yet I still don't ever want to see him under center for the Bills.

I'm just curious as to why you want Rex fired after 4 games? There isn't an outside coaching candidate coming on board in October. Do you think promoting one of Rex's lackeys like Lynn or Thurman is going to be a spark? His brother? (LOL) Reinforcements aren't coming. There's really no benefit to a mid-season firing.

John, you're putting too much stock into the Pro Bowl. He's played 16 games, he hasn't won a single one with his arm yet. Not one. Yes, he throws a great deep ball, and can make Sportcenter highlight plays. He's an insane runner, and can make plays with his feet that no other QB can. But he leaves so much on the field it isn't even funny. I'm not disappointed in the losses - I never thought playoffs were happening this year. I'm disappointed because it's apparent we don't have a QB on this team.

Anyone that completes a pass in the preseason has franchise potential 'round these parts.

It's impossible to break the chain of command when you are at the top of it.

Maybe he'll bring his son along too. Great!

I felt like a broken record saying this 5 years ago. At this point...

Spot on. Tyrod's stat line for this game should be Exhibit A as to why you cannot judge a QB on stats alone, you have to actually watch them play.

I didn't see many people using the booths last night. Here's my theory: The heavy drinkers typically paint themselves in the parking lot looooong before they enter the game, and the sober people want nothing to do with body painting.

Oh, and comparing John Elway the GM to Doug Whaley is like comparing John Elway the QB to EJ Manuel. Those names shouldn't be used in the same sentence.

Yes and Yes. The talent level of this team is very overrated by our fans.

So, Brandon has some degree of influence over the people hired to control football operations, but because he does not personally bear direct control of these football operations, he is absolved of all culpability? Is this a new part of Fayol's Theory of Management? This could signal a new dawn for executives across the nation.

Please change thread title to "Should Russ Brandon be on the Wall of Fame?"
