The Wiz Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Without Webb, allen is going to go from racing to doing a sad walk at the end of practice. That's going to hurt us in the long run. We gotta keep him. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assume he’s on the roster This is apparently true but I don’t really get it. McKenzie was fine on those sweeps and gadget plays and Brieda didn’t show much out of the backfield in the preseason.

Mark Vader Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 24 minutes ago, Rochesterfan said: What incentive would he have to sign that contract mid season - unless you are offering him big time money? He took this gig to get a chance to learn in a low pressure environment and see what Josh does as a leader to help himself. He has already showed that he has picked up a lot of ability at reading defenses and making good reads if you give him options and more importantly he is learning what kinds of throws to make in specific situations. In Chicago - he was over drafted and the coaching staff has shown themselves to be very poor at leadership as just look at the number of QBs that have gone through and not one has looked effective. Now you have another guy in Dalton that looks worse in that offensive scheme than he did in Dallas after taking over and significantly worse than Cincinnati. I think if Daboll leaves and goes to a couple of different places like Minnesota or Denver where they have a nice WR room, but are lacking a QB - Mitch could come in and make that team instantly better. As a QB - he had a winning record in Chicago, lead them to multiple playoff appearances, and had a positive TD to Int ratio. He couldn’t live up to his draft position, but he was never as bad as they thought. Just something I'm hoping for.....that's all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only used him for gadget plays, then when he got more snaps and KR duty vs Miami he scored like 4 or 5 touchdowns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see him starting in the league with a team that gives him the right support and scheme. All you have to do is look at who Nagy is starting in the first game... Andy Dalton over Justin Fields. CLEARLY Nagy lacks the ability to manage quarterbacks... everyone is calling it a bonehead decision and the players SEE how much better Fields looks... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at it that way, its a no brainer. Wish ole Bam the best. Just remember the tides and ocean currents are strong. It may just bring Bam back around somday. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fields should probably start but you do so with the understanding that he’s likely not going to be very good and the team will struggle because of it. They just don’t have the weapons or online capable of protecting him well. It’s impossible to get excited or confident with Dalton as your starting QB. You just have to hope that Fields progresses and gives you hope for next season. Edited August 30, 2021 by Bangarang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just have to hope that Fields progresses and gives you hope for next season. If Nagy was in his first year he would start Fields and let him learn this year, like Josh or Manning way back when, but he has to show better than 8-9 or else he will be fired and someone else can use Fields next year. Dalton gives them the best chance week one though Fields give the best chance week 16 if he starts early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's playing for his job and doesn't have the nerve to put his job in the hands of a rook. Scared money. I don't see how he keeps the gig after this year. His offenses are putrid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see him starting in the league with a team that gives him the right support and scheme. Sure it matters, but the 'turnaround' stories are still rare. The vast majority of players who are bad under good or bad coaching don't turn it around under different coaching later in their careers. Allen is still a strange case to make as he's only ever been under one coaching staff. Edited August 30, 2021 by jeremy2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
