  1. I accept that some tests are biased based upon the background and education that an individual has had. However, there must be some objective intelligence measuring test to evaluate an individuals ability to solve puzzles, problems, recognize patterns, etc. that would help NFL teams evaluate the mental ability of prospects.
     

    This seems most applicable to the quarterback position as so much of that job involves mental problem solving and correct decision making. If I was a GM and my future and the future of the organization depends on getting the QB draft pick right, I would want all the info I could get on a prospect. 

  2. In my opinion, he was  throwing the fastball too much for the conditions. He just needed to take 20% off his throws to make it easier on the receivers. I also don’t think he really respected the Falcons D. He was more cautious against NE last week and took the easy stuff or threw the ball away. Same for Daboll though calling those 2 trick plays in the 1st half.

  3. What QB rating accounts for his rushing TDs and penalizes all the QBs with 0 on that stat line? He didn’t have a great day, but if they passed for those TDs and had more of a passing offense in the 2nd half, his QBR would look much better. It’s just a number and an imperfect way to rate QBs.

  4. Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet but I just saw a breakdown of Josh’s 4th down run by Orlavsky. He believed that was a called run for Singletary and at the line of scrimmage, Josh decided to do it himself on the bootleg. Reason being that Diggs was not blocking the DB. If the bootleg was the called play, Diggs would be blocking and Josh would have had a much easier run, needing to only beat 1 defender. Instead Diggs let’s the DB close on Josh. Josh took on the two defenders and beat both of them. That play was all Josh which makes it more amazing.

    Bill Walsh used to say you’d rather release a guy a year too early vs. a year too late.  May be applicable to Beasley.

    I think that may be the scenario this off season. McKenzies stock is rising. Beasley is declining. Then consider the off the field stuff…

  6. Just want to say that I loved the way Singletary was used as an outlet by Josh today. I think this, combined with zone runs off tackle are the style of offense that uses his strengths best. Get him in space where he can make defenders miss instead of running him up the middle. Those dump off passes to him gave some consistency to the offense to let them have time consuming drives down the field.

  7. I love Beasley for what he brings on the field. The guy is a warrior out there.  But if he is blatantly breaking COVID rules off the field, that is definitely not what this team needs. He has to follow rules for 5 months to minimize infections on the team. How hard is that to do? To break the COVID rules is just selfish. Players need to be available to play. Nothing else matters.

  8. The stress of this season starts with the high expectations fans and media placed on the team. Then add the unexpected regression of the O line starting with Dawkins COVID experience and seemingly long term impacts. Them add the roll of the dice every week for who cant play due to COVID and it all results in no consistency for this team. Which leads to frustration.
     

    The ultimate goal is still possible. Josh is still amazing to watch so I’m just going to enjoy the ride while it lasts.
