There's a difference between being a #1 reciever and being in the slot. Reed was the #1 receiver and was the slot receiver. Just because a receiver plays in the slot doesn't make him the #3 receiver. Reed owned the middle of the field. He absolutely wrecked defenses from the slot.

Way too much Dawson Knox on the field today, especially with empty sets. Through 10 games, it's becoming obvious that Singletary is not a legitimate NFL halfback. Replacing him with Yeldon would be an improvement after the bye.

Packers are brutal today. Looks like they have no interest in this game.

The defensive line was just rancid this game. Don't know if the scheme called for Murphy to crash every play, but he did absolutely nothing to hold the edge. And when is Oliver going to show up?

If the Jets had half a brain, Greggo would be fired before Gase. But it's the Jets, so...

6 personal fouls on the Jets defense. Stay classy Greggo!

I don't know. The guy is so inconsistent. He has no pocket presence. His ceiling looks like Case Keenum right now.

The gameplan week 1 was to hit the edges of the Jets defense with read options, because that's where they were vulnerable. Week 2, the Bills attacked the Dolphins man coverage with deep crossing patterns, which kept Allen in the pocket. Week 3 could see a gameplan similar to the Jets plan, moving Donald sideline to sideline.

Giants? Lions? Eagles? Nah, you're right, it's the Jets

Darnold has had a major issue with pocket presence his entire career. Pressure the guy up the middle and he's done. Allen is starting to look like Kelly in the pocket. His awareness is improving each game. His turnovers and mistakes are happening outside the pocket (which means they are fixable). That's great progress.

That only works if Tom Brady plays every Monday night game. 😉

If Peterman didn't have a good football brain, he never would have made it onto an NFL roster. Peterman is a good practice player, he looks like a good QB at practice speed, but his skills are not good enough to play at gameday speed.

The problem is that you can also describe Tim Couch, Danny Wuerffel, and A.J. McCarron the same way. Smart guys who lacked talent. You could have even said that about Barkley, who was a 4th rounder. In the end, it's a fifth round QB. It was a luxury pick. It's not the next coming of Brady, or Pennington. It's a guy who is going to struggle to beat out Barkley to be the 2nd string QB.

A QB with a better skillset, for a start. Somebody who has a higher floor than Barkley. Maybe someone who mimics some of Allen's mobility, so that the offense does have to change things up too much if the backup has to play. Fromm is too much like Barkley, without Barkley's experience.

The majority of QB busts in the NFL posted great college stats, and that includes a bunch of SEC QBs.

I know, his college stats are almost as good as A.J. McCarron's, and he turned out fine!

I agree. There's always going to be a vet out there who can nail anything under 40 yards, and if a rookie struggles, it's tempting to cut him. No coach wants to lose a game because a rookie missed a kick. Hopefully his growing pains are minimal.

No, and it probably lowered their market value. A recently drafted player's market value would be higher. Beane's trading of those two guys shows he doesn't want to keep 3rd string QBs on the roster if he can trade them.

Depends how much Beane values an emergency QB vs a late round pick. There was a market for McCarron and Peterman, why wouldn't there be one for a recently draft 5th round pick? Do you want me to use my brain for you because yours doesn't work?

Me too, because Beane will be trading him before the season, and we certainly don't want that team getting the 'next Brady.' And bless your heart, bro.

And the guy who drafted Petermann, and signed McCarron, and blah, blah blah. It's a 5th round pick, he can make a mistake. It's not going to break anything. Just don't see the logic of replacing Barkley with a Barkley clone without the experience.

Not enough to consider him a top 2 QB on any NFL roster

And it only will cost the team 5th round pick to watch this play out.... The good news is that this is a luxury pick, like many say, and the team overall looks to be in good shape. The only downside is that a slag like Fromm will be on the roster for a while.

Who also regressed each year while relying on an excellent running game and defense.
