    He did? Yeah, the Jets beat the Bills last year on Thursday night but McCown was 14 of 20 for 140 yards and 1 TD. In the opener last year, McCown was 26 of 39 for 187 yards, 0 TDs and 2 INTs, one of which was the game-ender. The Thursday night matchup was the first game after they had traded Dareus which began a horrible three-game skid where the run defense was about as strong as wet toilet paper. Jets scored three rushing TDs (McCown scrambled in for one of them) and ran for 194 total yards. The Saints then came into town and blew 'em up for 298 yards on the ground. Mark Ingram had three TDs, Alvin Kamara had one, and currently unemployed free agent RB and big brother of Tremaine Edmunds, (Trey) had a 41 yard TD run late in 4th quarter. Even Drew Brees got in on the rushing TD action, scoring on a sneak and throwing for 184 yards and zero TDs. Gah, what an ugly game that was. 

     

    I was at that Thursday game sitting in the end zone and all I remember is Tyrod missing a thousand open recievers and McCown making plays on third down. He made some great plays in critical situations, running and throwing. It was annoying from what I remember. I probably remember it being way worse than it was. My buddy lost a bet and had to wear a Laverneus Coles jersey on a walk of shame through the parking lot.

    Start Peterman so he can be a capable backup in the future, or at the least see if he can improve. We aren't making the playoffs so lose out and get the better draft picks. It's a tank season with the dead cap space. Get playing time to younger players to see if they can have a roster spot next year.

     

    He will never be a capable backup. A capable backup has to come in and not throw away the game. A turnover prone guy like him is totally worthless in this league. He is done. When you have no talent, you need to be precise. He is not. He has neither.

    I might sound a little ignorant, but now that we've drafted our franchise qb(hopefully) I don't find as important to have a top 3 or 5 pick. 

     

    It's not ignorant and I agree. But this isn't a great draft this year with just two really elite talents in Oliver and Bosa. I think you want to get into the three to have a shot at one.

  3. They signed Dontae Johnson to take a look at him. He was terrible and released. I suppose they were giving Gaines the look since he earned it in the off season and was healthy. Pitts dresses because he is a core special teams guy. I agree, Lewis looked pretty good in action and now we will see him playing again.

    Why?

    how is he interesting?

     

    He had prolific college career, racking up tons of all purpose yards. He's better and younger than Marcus Murphy. Still just 25 years old, there is potential there. He got jerked around in Detroit. Some team like Philly or NE will sign him and they will look like geniuses.

  5. Peterman is bad, obviously he isn't in a great situation, but this is pretty funny stuff. He seems like a nice guy and all, but he deserves all the backlash he is getting. 

     

    I feel bad for him for sure, but if he doesn't want this kind of thing to happen, then he needs to play better. It's as simple as that. McDermott should be brought up on charges of abuse and neglect for continuing to throw NP out there when he clearly can't play.

    Hard to figure why Detroit took him just ahead of David Johnson. He's a lot smaller and slower than Johnson. Still, I figure he'd be an upgrade over fan favourite Marcus Murphy. And he should come cheap.

     

    Johnson was a guy from a small school and many were very unsure of him that draft year. Abdullah was all Big Ten and pretty much considered the third best prospect in that running back class. 

     

    The draft is funny that way. We picked John Miller that year about four picks before Johnson went. And Miller also went a full round before Shaq Mason. Pretty cool ?. Cam Meredith, Tyrell Williams, Adam Humphries and David Andrews all went undrafted in 2015. 

     

    Just to add Abdullah is a big time character guy who would be a nice fit here.

  7. A lot of really good linemen come from the middle rounds. There are a large number of high draft pick busts on the o-line. 

     

    Rams o-line are are having a great season. They feature 3 second round picks, a 6 and a 7. 

     

    The same goes for a lot of the best lines in the NFL. 

     

    Vlad was a second round pick and he sucks. John Miller also sucks and was drafted in the third. When it comes to o-linemen, draft status matters less than many other positions.

    How do you know that? We won’t know that until Big Ben retires. He is in the best situation of all the rookie QBs.

    Trappaso had him as his top guy over all of those quarterbacks drafted in the top ten and Jackson and Rudolph went in the third round. He isn't good enough to beat out Josh Dobbs and has been inactive all season ala Christian Hackenberg. Maybe he amounts to something someday, but Trappaso was wrong.

    The interior of the OL is clearly in need of upgrades so why not give Teller a shot with the team languishing at 2-7.  I didn't like Mason Rudolph and never understood his grade on him. 

     

    Agreed. There is absolutely zero reason not to play Teller. Just let him play. Sirles too...if they aren't planning on bringing Mills back, what's the point of playing him? 

     

    And I just have a hard time with Trapasso now because that was so egregious I really can't take him seriously anymore. 

  10. I still think their might be something there with 82, but honestly why not sign guys liek Troy Niklas or Ben Koyack...those guys are just sitting at home and better than what we have imo. 

     

    Gaines has been bad the last few weeks. I do think that Ryan Lewis is better and I'd like to see him play more. 

  11. I think it was clear at the end that Rex had completely lost the team. They played with zero effort and did not believe in his coaching or scheme whatsoever. 

     

    This team is still playing hard. They just suck. Vlad, Bodine, Miller are giving it everything they have, but they simply can't do it. 

     

    McDermott needs to be careful over these next few games. I haven't seen signs of him losing the team, but he needs to tread lightly imo.
