    You probably watch several NFL games every weekend.  Does it make you a better NFL QB?

     

    Watching didn't help EJ, or Cardale Jones, or Peterman for that matter.

     

    Players learn by playing.  Edmunds plays the most demanding position on defense.  Nobody made him sit and learn.

     

    Mahomes has put a big dent in this line of thought.

  2. In games last season where Tyrod started and the defense kept the opponent at or below 20 points we were 7-2. So yes we almost certainly would have won the Texans game with him. But it wouldn't matter. 6-10 is the same as 4-12 and that's ultimately what the record difference would be this year. I'll take the 3rd round pick and higher draft position in 2019 over one extra season with a QB we know isn't the answer.

  3. I don't know what to tell people. You don't fire the whole regime after a season where they have $50 million in dead cap. And before anyone brings it up yes I know this regime created the dead cap, but that's the point. They have a plan and they're sticking to it. The owners signed onto the plan. They're not even thinking about firing anyone until they've had a chance to fully implement that plan. IMO the results need to start coming next year, they'll be out of salary cap hell and they'll have had 3 offseasons to rebuild the team.

    It sure is easy to get rid of a solid core of receivers in one year though wont it?  Say what you want about Woods, Goodwin, Watkins and others, they were all better than what we have

     

    I wish we still had Woods. He is building a nice career for himself. We still need a legitimate #1 WR here and this draft has a solid receiving class. Benjamin could make a decent #2 if he plays like he has the past 2 weeks. His catch radius is more valuable in a league where defenders can't play the receiver. Just throw it a little high and he can stand there and grab it without any defenders having a chance on the ball.

  5. This is the first game that makes me really question Daboll. At first I attributed our problems to a rookie QB, but now you have a veteran who was making pretty good reads and throws before the game got out of control. And we just kept running the ball for no yards. I don't get it. The modern NFL is not set up for a run heavy offense. You don't run to set up the pass anymore. Sure if you're getting chunks on rushes, keep running the ball. But if it isn't working you should immediately start passing the ball constantly. It is so easy for receivers like Kelvin Benjamin to make plays with modern rules. He can just stand there and reach up for the ball and defenders can't touch him. You can throw a swing pass to a RB and get 5 yards a lot easier than you can if you hand it off to him. That's what NFL offenses are now. And there's Daboll calling runs up the middle on 1st and 2nd down. Defenses can only do so much with the rules the way they are. Sometimes your offense needs to make plays to stay on the field and ours isn't getting it done because of cowardly play calling. The biggest problem today on either side of the ball was Daboll IMO.
