I've reversed course on Lamar. I thought he was a bad prospect coming out of college (to be fair I thought the same about Allen). He refused to throw outside the hashes in college, did the same in his first two years. But with the game he had Sunday, including the wideouts, my mind has been changed. He has elite physical tools and has went to an organization who builds around him perfectly, both personnel and scheme wise. He is a top five quarterback in the league and I dont think you can make a legitimate argument he's not devoid of emotion of course. This is the real issue. They have hard feelings towards him.

This right here plays into it in a very big way. There is nothing elite about Darnold. There is nothing about his game that you can rely on to take over a game. His arm is average, his speed is average, his accuracy is average. He doesnt have the physical tools to overcome a lack of mechanics. Generally, those guys end up as backups. There were a couple out routes he threw during the game that he struggled to get to the sideline, that is also something that becomes a big problem in the NFL.

Eagles killed me.

Best way to not have people singled out which is the point of a team..very well handled.

Unless he works the rust off I agree. He looks slow, and the offense isnt very creative.

The acceleration there was otherworldly.

Memo to Giants: You need to block Bud Dupree.

If Peyton and Eli had a kid, that would be it.

Still has the arm, thats for sure.

Woods is a good all around player. Very much in the Hines Ward mold. But if you ask me who I'd rather have between he and John Brown, I am taking Brown all day long. Outside of his speed Brown also has stickum for hands. Really like Woods, but glad we have Brown. Also dont have to worry about Brown getting PIs and risk getting thrown from the game.

Ben looks bad. Outside of the poor throws he looks like he no longer has the ability to move in the pocket. Just a total statue.

I thought for sure it hit the carpet there. I fully expected it to be called back. Just goes to show you Bills Fan PTSD is a very real thing.

In terms of talent and output he probably falls somewhere right in the middle of the league. Think, Carson Wentz Ryan Tannehill etc. With the right situation I think he can win a Super Bowl, but he isnt going to carry a team there. I think the best fit for him in back in New England.

The Browns are a perfect example of why talent without substance doesnt work. Go look at their roster, it blows my mind that they continue to lose football games.

I'd feel bad for them if their football knowledge matched their football emotion, but fans who say things like the following probably deserve a bad team. We should have signed proven sack master Clowney We need to give our DC his first head coaching job

No? Similar size, very similar when it comes to speed. Trevor is more polished, but he has also played at a higher level of football his entire life.

Trevor Lawrence remind you at all of Allen? When I watch him I feel like I am seeing what Josh would have been if he went to a power five school.

Agreed, but the guy you really need to move on in that role is Star. Its tough, I like Butler better as a player but Star has a very had contract to move on from.

They have some flexibility. What Beane does well that Whaley didnt, is rather than just cut guys in the last year of their contract he renegotiates to spread roster bonuses over multi years. Hughes, Brown, and Hyde are all guys you could add years to and save money. I will say the Vernon Butler contract makes my skin crawl right now knowing you still have a bad contract with Star you really cant get out of, and Harrison Phillips as your third 1 technique. A lot of money wrapped up in those three guys.

It's important. I also recall how bad it was for both the Panthers and Seahawks when Russ and Cam were their teams leading rushers for an entire season. I just dont think its that telling of a stat considering a lot of teams won without mobile quarterbacks yesterday. Mobility within the pocket is probably more important than mobility outside of it.

If you dont think he cares about politics you dont listen to the show. He cares very much about politics and social issues. He also went on huge twitter rants about Rosen's politics.

Jeremy White wanted to draft Josh Rosen and a small part of it had to do with his politics. Thats all you need to know about WGR. Thankfully Sal is fantastic on the 10am show.

Hes going to need a lot of work blocking if he wants more playing time. He was bad im that aspect beyond the whiff. they paid Breshad Perriman over Robby Anderson. Gase and Douglas both should be fired. They are a very bad team talent wise.

Agreed. They rely too much on the run and defense to have long term success.
