That Brandt dude couldnt shut his trap. His yapping was like a drunk low IQ jock who doesnt really have a clue about life in general. I admit, I had the TV on mute for long stretches of time as I couldnt bear to listen to that IQ-reducing banter.

Honest question - what have you seen this pre-season to convince you that AJM is the best option ?

Good post all around. Yours too, welcome to the board. As for the OL, the first few games will allow us to see if the line gels or becomes jello. Even with limited game experience, opposing defenses wont attempt to blitz the QB on every down as they will for JA. Start Peterman, limit what is asked of him and keep him away from having to throw outs. Defense is another concern as they will have to bear the load of keeping us in the game while this entire OL and QB situation shakes out.

IMO, here is what should happen: - fire Castillo - Start Teller at LG - Feature a run-heavy game. Use Murphy a lot - tell the WRs to fight for every ball - Start Peterman and give him a very conservative game plan and a short leash - protect the ball at the expense of big plays - If IntercePeterman shows up for two consecutive games, give him the hook and don't look back ever again

I don't see how a "ready" QB can do better with this (lack of) protection

Popsicles?

With that attitude, especially with respected posters around here, your time around here may be mighty short. I suggest an attitude adjustment sooner rather than later. Nobody will get upset at you if you state an opinion respectfully and back it up with facts or logic. So far, you have brought neither to the table.

Yep, the man is on a downward spiral. I care about the public's safety first and then his. Separate him from all possible instruments of violence.

I don't have a horse in this race but don't forget his performance in the brutal snow game against the Colts.

No. I seriously doubt that. No team is that stupid to hire that lazy man even as a DC. I have heard him calling games and his personality does NOT come through. At least if you meant that in a positive way. His analysis is really pedestrian. Compare him to Romo and you can see the stark contrast

Kindergarten is a language ?

What are you babbling about ?

So I woke up this morning and my morning news feed from Google said "Rosen impresses in first NFL action". I can either believe that title or you guys who watched the game. ? Of all the young QBs I really want to succeed (just to make the league fun for the next 10 years), Rosen is not one of them. Call me a hater if you like.

Who is this"everyone" you speak of?

Exactly my feelings, add Carr, Goff, Wentz to that list. Would be great for the game of football if many of these youngsters become good QBs. To re-iterate - as long as Allen and the Bills are the best.

Meanwhile elsewhere in the NFL, Darnold still isn't in camp and he is officially a holdout: https://www.sny.tv/jets/news/jets-josh-mccown-hopes-sam-darnold-reports-to-camp-soon/287765516

Credit EJ with not going off the deep end, indulging in self destructive behavior or doing anything illegal. Unlike the Ryan Leaf and Manziels of the NFL world, at least he kept his head down and carried out his role. reduced though it may have been.

Nope. Drama queen and too expensive for the position he plays.

Feeling lonely, are we?

You of course realize that your paragraphs can both be true, right?

Maybe this one take is simplistic but it is the body of criticisms that amount to a single fact - that TT is just not a very good QB. His skill set is very limited and his defense always sounds very very Spiller-esque in nature. Needs a very narrow set of circumstances and supporting cast to be effective. With that limited a window to be effective, his job as a starting QB is never going to be secure. Spiller too bounced around a bit till it was conclusively proven that he just wasnt a good starting RB. My hot take is that the same thing will happen with TT in Cleveland. Hard working, good guy, team mate, nice deep ball - but ultimately not a good QB with his major claim to fame being the limited turnovers. Not going to win a lot of games if thats all he has going for him.

Hope is not a strategy. As Hapless said, they were well positioned in a QB rich draft and blew it. Prepare for the Colts to be bad for a very long time.

Please stop. Your opinions on people's weight is irrelevant to this thread, no matter how you twist your words and try to make an issue. Continuing to proselytize is more than a little annoying. If you feel so strongly about this topic, go to OTW and yap all you want.
