Something has to give eventually. I get that teams are worried about getting even worse at the position, but that doesn't mean you should give mediocre QBs $50M AAV. You can get mediocre QB play from the likes of Daniel Jones or Sam Darnold for much cheaper.

The last 5 Trevor Lawrence passes have hit a player's hands. 4 of them were dropped. 1 was caught by Houston.

And then Lawrence answers Stroud's horrid INT with his own. Yeah Liam Coen isn't fixing this. He is not going to suddenly become worth that contract.

The last 3 Jags passes have been dropped

BTJ with a costly drop on 3rd down. The massive sophomore slump continues.

Whelp I take back what I said about Stroud. That horrid INT was all on him. Threw a floater late off his back foot.

Yeah he has legit offensive coaching for the first time in his career and an OL that isn't a fire drill on every snap.

A lot of analysts need to apologize for questioning Shane Steichen's decision to start Daniel Jones over Anthony Richardson. Turns out with even league average QB play their coaching and supporting cast is enough to create elite production.

Can't believe I'm saying this but Indy will be the only team to make the playoffs out of the AFCS. This Houston/Jacksonville game has been a battle of who wants it less.

I've been watching that game and Houston's OL is horrid. Stroud hasn't had a good season but today hasn't been his fault at all, he doesn't even have a chance back there. Just shocking that they traded Laremy Tunsil before the season and made the worst unit on their roster even weaker.

A lot of Jags fans on Twitter have been getting on him for his effort this year. Matt Harmon who was one of his biggest fans just tweeted this out: Sounds like he had a great rookie season and decided that meant he's allowed to mail it in now.

Antonio Gibson and Rhamondre Stevenson have now combined for 3 lost fumbles for the Pats. Why do they not use Henderson at all?

Their offense is just shocking. Brown, Smith, Barkley, elite OL, and they're complete no shows so far. The scheme is so simple but is that the coaching or the QB?

Trevor Lawrence continues to be a massive disappointment. Misses way too many throws.

Never seen a larger discrepancy between a team's defense and offense than the Browns this season. Like if they still had Baker Mayfield they'd be a Super Bowl contender.

They're making a huge mistake playing him both ways. You make a big trade up for a guy, you expect him to make a big impact on side of the ball, not a middling impact on both sides.

I'm a broken record at this point but I still think a field stretching WR is the one missing piece to take this offense to another level. Curtis Samuel is currently the least important player on the roster so it would be an easy replacement. Would the Saints be willing to part with Rashid Shaheed? He's on a 1 year deal and their season is going nowhere. Give them back Samuel and a 5th, or something like that.

PFR defines an on target throw as a throw that "would have hit the intended receiver" so they're pretty generous with it I think. For example Tua's throw back to Tyreek after he escaped the CB blitz on 3rd and long I wouldn't exactly classify as a very accurate throw but since it was in the area of Tyreek and he made the catch I'm pretty sure they mark that as an on target throw. But yeah there's going to be a bit of subjectivity there. With on target percentage they exclude throwaways and spikes.

PFR has Allen with 49 on target throws. If I'm correct that they are only counting the first 2 games, that would put his on target throw rate at 92.5% which would be 2nd in the NFL behind Jalen Hurts. Allen has been exceptionally accurate this year. The training camp reports that he was throwing the ball better than ever have proven correct. I don't know what made you think that a pass catcher having to make "full extension" on a catch or having to come back to the ball is unusual or counts as an inaccurate throw.

@VW82 I just did a quick spot check on Pro Football Reference. Every QB's on target % is higher than their completion %, as you'd expect. Every QB except for 2 that is - Allen and Tua, the only QBs that have played 3 games. It seems that PFR has charted all of the throws and completions from the TNF game but has not charted on target throws so Allen and Tua both have a 0% on target rate from that game. After week 3 finishes it will update. Also - what games have you been watching that make you think Allen hasn't been accurate? I mean did you really think Allen has been off target on half of his throws this season? Come on man.

His completion percentage is 69.7% but his on target rate is 51%? Help me understand that one.

I hope Walker has a strong work ethic. He has all-pro potential if he attacks next offseason the way that Keon Coleman did this past offseason. He doesn't have the lower body strength to be a full time player yet so this season he will get somewhat limited snaps and make a few splash plays which is about as good a rookie season as you could expect from a 4th round pick. Next year he could be a budding superstar if he really wants it.

Huh? No team is "expecting" their 2nd and 3rd round rookies to do much in year one. We should count ourselves extremely lucky that we have two day 3 picks that are already making impact plays in the first month of their NFL career. That is practically unheard of. But we can't be satisfied with that because the 41st pick isn't playing like a seasoned veteran yet. What rookie players are you thinking of with this comment? I think you should give some examples to back up your thought. I'll give one - the big round 2 steal Mike Green has played 45% of defensive snaps. He has 1 pressure, 0 sacks, 0 TFL, 1 solo tackle, 2 assisted tackles. I suppose Baltimore screwed up that pick.

That was much more a bad play call than a bad rep IMO. That whole sequence actually was terrible for Babich. On the 3rd down prior you have Tyreek Hill in the backfield which should immediately be a signal for the defense, and instead we literally just let him run free out of the backfield with no one even attempting to cover him. Easy pitch and catch for a 1st down. Then on the play you mentioned Tre is playing with outside leverage and he has no inside help for Jaylen freaking Waddle?? No CB in the league is stopping that TD. I'll give Babich the benefit of the doubt by declaring it a miscommunication because the alternative is too sickening to consider.
