Does this apply to just one of our QBs?

Cooks also received a major deal carrying him through 2023

How many scoring drives did your savior have in 6 less minutes of football? One? Ok, cool. Glad we dismantled the whole team so hauschka could get a second crack at 3 points. You'd have an argument if your boy wonder came in and had markedly different results. If you want to hang your hat on a couple first downs, have at it. Neither QB caused this team to get 47 points dropped on them and neither forced the team to be unwilling and unable to run, catch, or block. Aaron Rodgers wasn't scoring 7 touchdowns to win that game.

Thanks for your contribution.

I already made my case with photos and breakdowns. If you want to discount detailed and thoughtful replies with one line "nuh-uhs", that's your right, but it makes you look like a simple minded petulant child. That seems to be par for the course around here though.

I know it's difficult to stay on topic, but this thread and my response have nothing to do with quarterbacks. You wanted to talk about McD, so that's what I did. If you're looking for a pissing match, move along.

Oh, ok. I didn't know you just wanted to cry. Carry on then.

He's the precise opposite of who they want on this team.

I didn't like McDermott as a hire, and there are a lot of things I don't like about him as a coach. However, he doesn't owe you or anyone else besides his boss an explanation. Every decent coach and smart player in the league gives bland explanations and old cliches when asked pointed questions. There's a zero percent chance that McDermott will ever come out and say a particular player played badly. That's just common sense. You don't throw your own people under the bus to people outside the organization. Management 101. With that said, McDermott actually gives out a pretty decent amount of information if you read between the lines of talking points he grazes over and if you pay attention to his cadence. You need to filter out the coach speak to get there though. It also doesn't help when reporters ask terrible questions that they know will be met with canned responses. Also, it's impossible for the fans to know when guys run the wrong routes or take the wrong assignments. At field level, it's probably also very difficult to see as a coach. To really know what happened and why you need an elevated view. It would be irresponsible to speak to those things without proper data.

Might have been a "hot take" if I said it 30 years ago. These days we just call it a hard truth. Love the guy and his autographs are all over the house, but he had one of the top two most talented rosters of all time and couldn't get the job done when it mattered most. It doesnt mean I'm not a massive fan of his.

I'm not interested in finding "the next Jim Kelly". The guy wasn't good enough.

It'll go well with my Martin Nance and Jonathan Linton collection.

It's actually in the mail. Kinda hoping I get one game out of it...

You have something better?

Dallas just dumped Dez. I doubt they want a worse version

Drafting Bosa is a lose-lose. If he busts, he busts and you could have traded down. If he becomes elite you have to pay him $30 million a year and you have to let him walk in his prime. Trade down all day every day.

San Francisco could be a willing partner down the road.

I strongly disagree with that. The pass was sinking right to him, as evidenced by the safety that had to dig it out of the dirt. For a guy like Benjamin that jumps two feet off the ground (for some reason) to catch passes aimed at his chest, he didn't even lift his feet off the ground and ran straight under it. He had 5 yards running horizontally to position for the catch, and he played it horribly.

See my summary for my response to your lazy reply.

Dropped first Down Nate high-points Benjamin for a big gain and a first down. He's Got it! https://photos.app.goo.gl/WXZ2JPgpnEUPGe9n9 Oh wait, no he doesn't: https://photos.app.goo.gl/jx1PLpk9ZCE2sUsg9 Pick #1 Same thing again on the first pick. Nate sees KB and throws a touch pass downt he field to his 6'5 WR who will definitely jump up to catch the ball that's in the air the whole time he's crossing the field. https://photos.app.goo.gl/f8YHy9u8p829FivA8 Oh wait, no he doesn't https://photos.app.goo.gl/Fq15qXSARn2AK1Eh7 Pick #2 Surely a slant route will allow my 6'5 WR to use his size to position himself against far smaller secondary personnel to catch this ball right in his breadbasket https://photos.app.goo.gl/hJSu5hJyRpXrjkj19 Hmm that's weird. KB doesn't wall off a guy he's got 5 inches and 30 LBs on. That's fine. I'm sure he'll contest the pass. https://photos.app.goo.gl/xdmJPY16WUFvMpAS8 Oh KB, you sly dog. You did it again. You had me fooled that time. https://photos.app.goo.gl/muTWpXop79RkyQ1n8 Summary In a league of contested passes and needing to use every advantage you have in speed, size and timing, KB uses his advantages about the same way Tyler Myers did when he was here. He plays like a guy half his size with 1/4 the effort. if I wanted to put in the effort I could find another few that were every bit as bad, but I know this post will get no critical thought from any detractors anyway.

Yea, I know your bias won't let you believe it's true but both interceptions were on Benjamin. Clear as day. A decent receivers catches both, and probably even has a big gain on the second one. He didn't even try to catch them and just shied away from the ball.

If I had access to the game footage I'd take a screen shot of Benjamin doing basically the same thing on both picks.

What I'm trying to say is that there's a really strange double standard going on here where the same facts are being used to trash one player and praise another who had pretty similar results. They both played poorly, but their WRs were worse than both of them, the O-line was awful, they couldn't and didn't run and the defense was a sieve. The entire team around both QBs was a constant. They performed the same start to finish. The QBs were the only variable on the Bills side and neither had any success. What I'm also saying is the minute edge that Allen had in production should be considered with respect that the Ravens had their defensive stars on the sidelines. I'm super confused how one guy was trash and the other "must absolutely start" based off the same results.

It's hard listening to things outside your echo chamber, I get it.

against 3rd stringers. For whatever reason they also refused to run the ball in the first half. i think McCoy had 2 carries for -1 yards.
