It also requires a WR that can get downfield in a hurry and make you pay though. That was part of what was wrong last year. People knew Tyrod could throw deep, but we didn't have a threatening presence to go out and catch it like Sammy, or even Goodwin, was.

Pretty much where I'm at. QB: Worse RB: Same WR: Same OL: Worse DL: Better LB: Same DB: Same

So that's where we differ then. I believe 1 & 2 are caused by him making 'hero plays' and trying to do too much, which can be reigned in as much by experience on the field as it can be coached off the field. Also I think 3 & 4 will progress much faster if he's actually in the scenarios being reviewed on film instead of just being an eye in the sky. I definitely believe there would be growing pains as he feels out what exactly he can get away with at this level (see Wentz year 1), but I see the experience as invaluable and the single thing he is most lacking. In time we'll see how it plays out though.

Watch his 2016 tape then. He was less experienced, but had a better supporting cast.

I understand the train of thought, and had it myself, but I think I'd prefer to give Josh better talent than he had at Wyoming rather than just familiar talent, if possible.

I've gone over it before, he's had experience reading a defense pre-snap and adjusting the protections based on alignments; he's had run-run checks, run-pass checks, and pass-run checks based on alignment or numbers; he's determined his read progressions at the line based on matchups; and he's taken many snaps from under center and isn't unfamiliar with turning his back to the D. Since claiming that this was what I observed watching him on tape and listening to him in interviews, his college OC has come out and confirmed pretty much all of that. His footwork got sloppy at times when he was trying to do too much under fire and making hero plays. That's fine, he can reign that in. He'll need actual game experience to learn what he can and cannot get away with at this level though. What is it exactly that you feel he needs to learn before he can play in an NFL game?

He wasn't on our team until week 6. 2.45 receptions per game, including a 100 yard game as his debut on the team.

Partially that, avoid the road games at Minny & GB, but also I think at home vs. Tennessee is probably the easiest place to begin on the schedule

I believe Allen starting would be best for his own development, but I'm starting to think it will be week 5, not week 1.

McCarron and Peterman.

I am very optimistic about our Rookie's prospects. Our vets not so much.

I think back to back top 10 offenses is pretty successful. And as far as 2017 goes, some combination of blocking scheme, OC, shipping off our best WR, etc. probably contributed to the drop off in production.

listening now, thanks.

Need one of 2 things to happen. 1) He improves massively on his routes, which improves his separation. 2) He improves drastically at coming down with contested catches. Last year he struggled with both, but I see no reason why he can't improve in either area this year.

You do realize that 2015 and 2016 were the highest scoring back to back years we've had this millennium, right?

That's not marginally better, that is significantly better. And the reason they are compared as they are is because they played on the same team with the same coaches and same weapons. There is no better comparison.

No, this was the end of October. The Bills were 5-2 coming off a 34-14 win over the Raiders.

They wanted McCarron mid-season, when Tyrod wasn't available.

They aren't employed any more because they were incompetent. Their replacements were the ones who opted to give up 65 for Tyrod instead of signing FA McCarron.

Staying at the Home2 Suites a couple blocks south of the best western. And yep, I land Saturday around lunch and I leave Monday around 3pm. Plenty of time to take it all in and enjoy the area.

Flying from DC to Chicago to GB. Staying walking distance from the stadium, so I'm really excited to experience the whole atmosphere. I do not expect a win, but that doesn't make me any less excited for the trip!

I've got my room and flight booked. Haven't moved on tickets yet, but I plan on it once we get closer to August/September.

They knew he won his grievance on February 15th and would be available in FA. Well before any trades were made. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000916449/article/aj-mccarron-wins-grievance-will-be-free-agent-in-march They were also 10-2 prior to Dalton's injury.

I'm going to assume that Gregg is not all that informed about our roster and his cursory check said Groy was a Guard.
