    That's so dumb, he's only a pro bowl player because Josh who was himself an alternate, which was BS, opted out. So Mac is less of a Pro Bowl QB and more of an alternates alternate.

     

     Tyler Huntley made the Pro Bowl this year also. He threw for 658 yards, 2 tds and 3 ints on the year. That's embarrassing to both him and the NFL.

    I would venture to say that Shaq Lawson will probably get signed under the vet salary benefit program after the draft.

    There always is a chance that a DE on Beane's board is sticking out in the 5th or 6th rounds and that may affect his signing.

     

    With Von Miller having a good chance of starting the season on PUP (or is on the team to start the season but not active), I see Shaq

    as a good possibility of making the team (at least to begin with).  If anything, he is a good yardstick for a younger guy to beat out in camp.

     

     

     

     I think Von has a good shot at playing week 1. He said at the end of January that the doctors gave him a time-frame of returning by August and he was hoping to beat that by a month or two to show teammates how hard of a worker he was. Almost like he had something to prove. On top of that I believe McDermott recently said Von was ahead of schedule in his recovery.

    Brown was ninth in targets his last year in bAltimore. All his numbers were worse in Arizona. He wanted out because of the system they run and all receivers care about is getting their stats. They have never had a receiver the talent level of Diggs. AB didn’t want to come to Buffalo because of Allen. Now, that looks incredibly stupid. 
     

    if Jackson was in the Miami system (again, he has already won a mvp) and was “struggling,” that would be one thing. But Roman’s system is limiting and he played with mainly garbage around him besides Andrews. Imo, if he is miamis qb, they would be a major problem.

     

     

     By far the biggest difference between Brown in 2021 and Brown last year was number of games played, not who was throwing to him. He averaged only 4.9 yards less a game with the likes of Kyler Murray, Colt McCoy, Trace McSorley & David Blough throwing to him rather than a "former MVP". That example doesn't doesn't help your argument, it hurts it.

     

     Still can't believe Zach Wilson threw for more yardage per game, thee worst starting QB in the league. Defending Lamar isn'tthat difficult, guard against him running and cover the middle of the field. And as time has gone on, teams have figured that out.

    Stop it. He was a great pick. 

    They traded away his 1,000 yard receiver. They have a bottom 5 receiver group. The only guy who could probably play on other teams is Bateman, who makes Sammy Watkins look like Ironman.

     

    the ravens are the anti Steelers in terms of drafting receivers. 

     

     The 1,000 yard receiver wanted out of Baltimore, they didn't just wake up one day and say hey let's trade him away. No receiver, that's worth anything, wants to play there. Why do you think that is? And sure they don't have great receivers at the moment, but do have 1 of the best receiving TEs in the league.   

     Great WRs or not doesn't fully explain his bad passing numbers over the last 2 seasons, if he's an elite QB his numbers would be far better than they have been. Maybe he should learn how to throw outside the numbers and not just over the middle of the field. There's a reason they run 3 TE sets, can't bring in or keep a good WR & had to design an offense specifically for him.

     

     6 QBs in 2021 & 3 more in 2022 had more total tds in a single season than Lamar has combined over the last 2 years and 1 more had exactly the same number in 2021. He's not elite and has not been a top 10 QB since 2020. With almost all his passing stats ranked in the 20s, the better question right now is, is Lamar even top 15 at the moment?

    5. Jalen Hurts

    7. Justin Hebert

      Those are the seven I would rather have as my QB. 

     

     I don't know. It depends are we getting the 2019-2020 Lamar or the 2021-2022 one. He hasn't been good the last 2 years 33 tds, 20 ints, QB Ratings of 87 & 91.

     

     Take this year alone...23rd in ypa, 26th in comp%, 16th in QB Rating & 29th in ypg. Zach Wilson threw for more yards per game than Lamar did. So did Daniel Jones, David Mills & Mac Jones. 

     

     Point is he hasn't been a top 10 QB since 2020.

     Allen alone can make offensive team stats look good, that's true, but that would also be the case in 2021 with Daboll. Everyone seems to forget just how bad the offense was for stretches after game 7 in 2021.

     

     Case in point, Allen through game 7 had 17 tds and only 3 ints. After that he had 19 tds and 12 ints over the last 10 games of the year. Where was Daboll's magic in getting Allen back on track? That was against a bunch of bad teams no less and with a healthy Allen. 

     

     He was the same QB in 2022 as he was in 2021, that's not on Dorsey. 36 tds in 2021, 35 last year. 15 ints in 2021, 14 last year. 63.3 comp. % in both years, a better ypa last year by almost a yard. A better QB Rating and QBR, increasing 4.5 & 5 points respectively. It was more of a boom or bust, big play offense, I get it, you don't like it. But it produced the same results or better by both the QB and offense across the board. Again with an injured QB and against a far harder schedule than 2021.

    We didn't have a good offensive line and had to go get two retired players to play WR in Beasley and Brown....and we were #3 in scoring.

    We were above the Bengals with Burrow, Higgins, Chase and Boyd as his WR's and with a better OL. 

     

    How is he not even close?  

     

     We had almost identical results on offense as we did in 2021. Even though we had a 1st year OC, played a much harder schedule and the defense not being able to get off the field once Von went down. The defense gave up 28 more 1st downs & 481 more yards this year in 1 less game vs 2021. We just did it a different way with quick scoring & big plays vs long sustained drives.

     

     The only thing the offense was lower in this year vs 2021 was 1st downs per game. Averaging a half a 1st down less.

     We even averaged 10 more yards rushing per game this year and 6 more yards passing.

    I was able to watch the game with some SDSU grads (family friends). That was a xanax special!!! lol

     

     Happy for ya @muppy ! Hopefully they win it for you on Monday. My favorite team(Cuse) has won 1 and it's a great feeling when the clock hits triple zeros. Almost didn't know how to act though as it's my only favorite team in any sport that has won a championship. I had gotten so used to my teams losing in championship games.😂

     

     Speaking of favorite teams....Sabres score 4 in the 2nd to go up 5-2 at the start of the 3rd.

     Really nice comeback by SDSU. FAU had a 94.8% chance of winning with 13:53 to go in the game. But SDSU outscored them 30-15 the rest of the way. Interesting call to sit both scorers and not call a TO after getting the rebound, but it paid off. I'm definitely rooting for SDSU on Monday, hope they kick some a$$.

  10.  And down the stretch they come!!

     

     What once looked like a potential blowout, now looks to be setup for a great finish!!

     

     SDSU is owning the offensive glass and is the biggest reason they've been able to get back in the game.

    Not Peyton Manning, but most 2nd stringers are guys the team hopes can go 50/50 in games if they have to play for 2-4 games.  You want a guy who will give you at least 1.5 TD per INT and 200+ ypg.  Taylor Heineke in Washington is the prototypical example: 3 seasons in Washington, 12-11-1, 34 TD 21 INT 208 Y/G.  Not championship stuff, but good enough to win with a  stout defense.  Earlier in his career, Case Keenum most definitely fit into this category.  Chad Henne probably. Not sure Kyle Allen is quite good enough; the W are good enough in Carolina, the TD/INT were good enough in Washington; neither were good enough in Hou last year - is he recovered enough from that horrific dislocated ankle and broken leg?

     

    Peterman doesn't have enough on-field talent to deserve to be a backup; sorry, he just doesn't.  53 ypg, 4 TD and 13 INT will NOT cut it.  There's a lot of room between a "Secret Peyton Manning" and a guy who can get you a 1.5 TD/INT ratio and 200 ypg.

     

    What I think Peterman's got, that keeps coaches coming back to him, is a head for the game.  I joke that his whiteboard and film room abilities must be off the charts. He's fundamentally "Catnip for Coaches"

     

     

     Yes I agree Beck Water. I think he’s there to mentor Fields. Nate has the smarts, he's shown it in practice and preseason games, but once he's playing real games, he just doesn't have enough, on-field talent as you said.

    He’s still likely top 100 in the world. I doubt many here are that good at their jobs. 

     

     I don't think Nate is top 100 in the world, but rather fits in well with the Bears. I would say he's probably the worst QB in the league with let's say at least 100 attempts. 

     

     His QB Rating is so bad that it would actually increase from 39.38 to 39.58 if he had thrown incompletions on all 160 of his career attempts. 

     

     

    The article below is from 2018, but I believe the rankings are still the same or close to it.

     

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/2804566-is-nathan-peterman-the-worst-nfl-quarterback-ever.amp.html

     

      "Nathan Peterman is the worst quarterback in modern NFL history among those with as many pass attempts as he has.

     

     Of the 356 quarterbacks who have thrown at least 130 passes in the last 40 years, the 24-year-old Buffalo Bills sophomore ranks dead-last with a passer rating of 32.5.

    None of the other 355 passers has a rating below 39":

     

    353. Matt Robinson, 44.1

    354. Art Schlichter, 42.6

    355. Spergon Wynn, 39.5

    356. Nathan Peterman, 32.5

     

     Now his Passer Rating has increased to 39.4, but that still puts him as the worst QB 45 years.

     

     His pick rate has also improved from 9.2 to 8.13, but that still puts him in 2nd to last place, just beating out Peter Tom Lewis who had a 8.2 pick rate. They're the only 2 QBs to have a pick rate higher than 6.9 in the last 45 years with at least 130 attempts.

    GO AZTECS!~!~!!! I'm stoked for this game. Happy either way but their epic run may continue today. San Diegans are muy feliz.  The Padres are in season again and the NCAA's 2023 SD Aztecs Elite 8 🙂

     

    Hope springs eternal.

     

     I wish SDSU & FAU weren't meeting up until the championship game. Much rather see one of those 2 win it than the UCONN or Miami.

    Dawson is better than Engram and Freirmuth and it isn't even close. The difference? Their OCs and QBs throw those guys the ball. 

     

    The Bills with Knox are like the guy with the midlife crisis who bought a clapped out classic Jaguar, spent 2 years restoring it (because Knox was a huge project coming out but with freakish talent and the Bills actuakly did the development bit well) he now has a shiny pristine classic and then only drives it once a year at a classic car show. 

     

    GET KNOX THE EFFING BALL!!

     

     Talent wise I agree. Apparently you missed my post earlier where I said I think he should be getting 90-100 targets a year? Top 5 average for targets this year was 114.5. I agree Knox is better, but until they start feeding him the ball like they should, I can't put him that high. If Diggs is getting doubled & defenses are using a defender to spy on Josh, like defenses were doing in the 2nd half of the year, how are they not getting Knox the ball more often? It blows my mind. Give him 100 targets and he'd either be in the 2nd tier or just outside of it.

    You may be correct about Hockenson in tier 2 now. Last year was his breakout year. But you are low balling Goedert. Goedert has averaged both more yards per game and higher catch percentages than Hockenson in each of the last two seasons.

     

    Damn, I think I might have low balled Goedert as you said lol. Hockenson was more effective, on less touches in Detroit than in Minnesota. His ypc  almost doubled after he got traded vs before the trade this year. Definitely a weapon if Detroit gets him enough targets. We'll see what happens this year.

    Asking if Knox can play at Kelce or Gronk level is not fair to Knox. Let's slow our roll before asking if he can play at the level of probably the two greatest tight ends to ever play.

     

    TE is an interesting position. Everyone wants to find an elite tight end for obvious reasons. When you have a tight end at the level of a Gronk or Kelce it makes your offense nearly unstoppable. Problem is, in any given year there is typically only one of those guys out of 32 starting tight ends in the league. As great a tight end as George Kittle is, I'd say Kelce is an entire tier better than Kittle. And Kittle is really good. 

     

    I haven't really done a deep dive into tight end tiers luck people like to tier QB's, but off the top of my head I would probably say you have Kelce in a tier by himself, and really, he should be like two tiers ahead of the next tier. Then you probably have a tier with Kittle, Andrews and Goedert. Then you have a tier with probably 8-10 guys making up the third tier of tight ends from 5-14. That is basically where Knox is. We are hoping he can get to tier 2. Forget about tier 1. 

     

     Hockenson says hi.

     

     Kelce is by himself as you said. Then I'd put Hockenson, Andrews & Kittle in tier 2. Next would be Goedert, Engram(If he plays like he did last year) and maybe Freiermuth? in tier 3. Knox would currently be tier 4, but should be minimally in tier 3, most likely tier 2 if he gets the targets the other TEs are getting.

    I also didn’t include comp % down the stretch (which was bad), y/a, etc. You want a full breakdown of every stat. How about the splits? Want those too? If you want to include his 3 rushing TD’s, go for it. But it doesn’t change anything. Listing every stat is pointless when we all know he didn’t play well down the stretch. Unless you think he did?

     

     Point is his QB Rating the final 7 games was 97.08 which was slightly higher than where he finished the year at. Also comp.% was only slightly lower than where he finished the year. A whole point and a half lower. 

     

     The same thing happened to Josh in 2021. We'll go off the same time frame you used, the final 10 games. In those games 22 total tds(19 passing 3 rushing), 14 total turnovers(12 ints, 2 fumbles). Prior to that he had 17 passing tds and only 3 ints. Anyways, after his bad "down the stretch" in 2021 he then went out and had statistically the best postseason ever by a QB. 

     

    He plays in Buffalo, his 1st half of the year is always going to outshine the 2nd half of his year. Especially if there are alot of home games in November and December. Or when you play 50 mph wind gusts like in the 2nd to the last game of the year against Chicago. At least until that new stadium gets built and starts tricking the wind.😂

    Fimbles don’t just happen running. But you’re welcome to use them if you want. It doesn’t change the fact that he didn’t play well down the stretch.

     

     I just want complete information, nothing more or less. It would be like me saying he finished the last 7 games with 18 tds & 4 ints. While true, me not including the 5 fumbles doesn't tell the whole story. Correct? You just wanted it to look worse to fit your narrative. 

     

      Obviously he could've been better, but with his injury he could've been far worse. Most QBs wouldn't even had played through that injury. All in all he still did well enough to finish 3rd in the MVP race. But, don't let me stop you, I wouldn't want to get in way of ypu pushing your agenda. Please, by all means, carry on.

     NFL.com Draft profile. 

     

    https://www.nfl.com/prospects/anton-harrison/32004841-5257-5324-7acd-121b32d76e46

     

     Has him graded at a 6.27 which falls in the "Will eventually be an average starter" catagory. Check out his NFL comparison at the bottom of my post.

    My question to that is, is it the younger version him or today's version?

     

    Overview

     

    Collegiate left tackle with good size and length, but average athletic traits. Harrison is self-aware and does a nice job of utilizing his strengths to mask his weaknesses. He has a feel for pocket depth and uses his length and an inside-out approach to get the job done, but NFL speed could have him scrambling without help. Harrison lacks the pop and drive of a plus run blocker and is better at neutralizing opponents with proper positioning. There are some limitations athletically and it won’t always look fluid, but Harrison has the demeanor and football savvy to get the job done as a starter in time.

     

     

    Strengths

     

    * Hands remain punch-ready in protection.

     

    * Patient not to overset or overextend at the top of the rush.

     

    * Fires his hands with some pepper on them.

     

    * Finds full arm extension to maintain feel for rusher.

     

    * Will find work when uncovered.

    Instinctive in his positional run blocking.

    * Adequate fluidity climbing to linebackers.

     

    * Activates hands to discard opponent’s punch.

     

    Weaknesses

     

    * Has trouble locating initial hands in run game.

     

    * Average foot chop with elevated pads as drive blocker.

     

    * Fails to knock opponents back at first contact.

     

    * Might not have slide quickness for desired diagonal sets.

     

    * Connection between feet and hands is disjointed.

     

    * Can be rocked backward by speed-to-power rush.

     

    * Below average agility to recover when beaten.

    Josh playing like poorly down the stretch last year is kind of the elephant in the room that no-one has been willing to bring up.

     

    Week 8 to 17

     

    18 passing TD’s and 13 turnovers 

     

     

     

     Also I just noticed you used turnovers(ints & fumbles), but only passing tds? Why? if you're going to count total turnovers wouldn't you also count total tds? Add 5 more tds for rushing to the tally. Still not great, but definitely better. Seems you're omitting info to suit your narrative.

    Well yeah if you take away any players bad stretches they’re going to look good lol. 

     

    But even taking away that stretch, 15 TD’s, 4 INT’s and 5 fumbles isn’t exactly great football or what we expect from Josh.

     

    I think we are all just kinda hoping it’s the injury, but that bad stretch started the game before the injury.

     

     Again counting total turnovers, but not total tds?

     This is some what true, but at the same time Josh's injury occurred in week 9. 

     

     In reality Josh had a bad 3 game stretch in games 8-10. Take out those 3 games and Josh had 32 tds only 8 ints in the other 13 games.

     

     Also after those 3 games, what would really be considered down the stretch, he had 15 tds and only 4 ints to finish the season.
