IMO you win as many as possible. You want your players to BILLIEVE they can win and learn HOW to win. Especially the close games. "Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing." --Vince Lombardi We need to break the habit. Losing is for losers. As far as draft picks goes, our problem isn't that we don't have high enough picks, it's that we've taken the wrong guys. Of the 7 active SB winning QBs, we could have taken 4 of them (Brees, Tommy, Wilson, and Joe Flacco), but passed on them all. That needs to change. Hopefully Beane can do it.

We beat 'em last year. 16-12

I really wouldn't worry about that too much. His handling (or not) pressure is a HUGE red flag for me in his game along with his inaccuracy/consistency. I don't think he sucks or anything like that, he's just nowhere near ready to start an NFL game against a real defense that game plans against him, that's all. Best thing for him is he doesn't see the field this year. Don't rush it IMHO.

If I'm a D Coordinator facing Nasty Nate, I blitz the peejeebers out of him (as I would all rookies). See if he goes 1 for 8 under pressure, ducks and Chuck's it into a crowd, or flat out drops the ball.

Don't watch.

I've been wondering about this since the white supremacists stuff has taken over the news now. Serious question: How man white supremacists are there are n the USA. I mean the rabid and train in military tactics, etc.? I was thinking maybe 400,000 maybe. I think I read somewhere there are 1,000 white supremacists groups. If each one had 1,000, that be 1,000,000. Any idea?

I expect to see a lot of what we saw last year. A lot of McCoy. More screen passes to him and Williams. Rollouts. Rollouts with short passes to TE. Some Hotrod designed but probably not as many. Half dozen or so homerun attempts per game. One thing I know for certain. It WON'T IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM be what we've seen so far.

You, on the other hand, sound like a real tough guy.

He was a head of his time. Kyle Orton

Maybe he'll pull a Maybin on us and get a couple of sacks when we play his team. Speaking of that game, who do we cheer for? If we win it hurts our draft spot but helps theirs. If we lose it hurts their draft spot but helps ours. I'm confused. Tanking is hard.

Since people want someone with "upside", I propose we sign 16 QBs on Saturday. Let each one play 1 game. Every week we got someone with upside. After they reach their cieling late in the 4th quarter we can move on to next man up that still has "upside".

I wouldn't count Yates out yet as 2nd string. He played well vs. Ravens.

Who the heck is "They"? We haven't. Duh. NOBODY runs their real offense in PS. Especially not in the first year where there is no film on you yet. How do you know if you haven't seen it? Loser mentality.

Tommy. Tony Romo.

He's thrown just as many TD passes as Nasty Nate and fumbled less.

Downtown Freddie Brown

Nothing changes until the ownership changes

True. Presently we don't have anyone on our roster that can do that.

How so? I said a good QB will keep putting good passes out there. A bad QB won't. Doesn't have to do with anything evening out.

This is all true, but every QB has drops. I remember Mrs. Brady getting into a snit with a fan after a SB over dropped passes. Do we give Fitz credit for a TD pass and comeback win vs Stealers? Do we give Roger Staubach an extra completion and TD credit for hitting Jackie Smith in the numbers in the EZ vs Stealers? Good QBs can recover from drops by throwing more good passes. We haven't had anyone that can do that in a very long time. Nasty Nate is more like Fitz. He'll put a good one in there from time to time, but you better catch it. It may be a while before the next one.

I think he meant Bad Bad Levi Brown.

In His senior year he was 71%. https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/andrew-luck-1.html

Excuses Excuses Excuses. If you take away the drops and the bad blocking and penalties in the Eagles game Hotrod probably turns in a much better performance as well. As far as his accuracy goes, I haven't seen anything to convince me "he's accurate enough". As a senior at Pitt he threw for 60.46% including all the shovel passes. For college that's not very good. EJ threw for 67.96% his Senior year at Florida St. Although he does make some really nice passes sometimes, his accuracy overall is meager IMHO and not ready to start in the NFL (yet). He misses way too many easy drive killing passes. His footwork needs work too. When he steps in and delivers he does much better, but often throws unnecessarily off his back foot or. He's got a lot of work to do.

Hotrod made Sammy and Harvin look pretty darn good with the passes he delivered to them. He also hit Woods in the hands on quite a few passes some of which he dropped. Nasty Nate is just not accurate or consistent enough yet. Half of his passes look Canton worthy while other half look bust worthy. He's gonna get somebody killed out here. Against the Ravens I counted 3 EJ to JJ Watt passes the defender luckily didn't catch. Not to mention ducking and chucking into a crowd and just out and out dropping the football. He's got a lot of work to do.

I'm gonna disagree on this. The Beast was abysmal at short yardage (3rd or 4th down with 2 yards or less to get) that year. the problem was not the play call, but the execution. Russell Wilson tipped off Buttler. Buttler says they came out of the huddle and Wilson was signaling something to Baldwin (or whoever it was). And looked over again before the snap. he wouldn't be doing that if it was a run up the gut so he was looking for it. It was also horrible execution on the WRs. Hawks lost that one due to poor execution. Russell Wilson was like the dog that's bad at poker. Every time he gets a good hand, he wags his tail.
