bills are a good offseason away from being a contender next season

#

play calling has to be more aggressive also

rustic mountain
#

They were full strength against us and got walloped

celest zephyr
#

eh honestly it might be the bengals if they can somehow get their coaching together and make the playoffs

rustic mountain
#

It really do just be KC and IF Tennessee can get fully healthy

celest zephyr
#

they are a balanced team with talent

dim kettle
#

I lost faith in the Chargers when they couldn't even make a SB with LT, Gates, and Rivers. Doesn't matter now, it's all interchangeable at this point.

rustic mountain
#

Cincy has to be more consistent

celest zephyr
#

yeah that's why it'd be getting hot

rustic mountain
#

One week they look like an upcomer the next they can’t beat Jimmy G

celest zephyr
#

Jimmy G is a game manager QB

rustic mountain
#

Not a good one either

celest zephyr
#

if the other guys make plays the offense is fine

dim kettle
#

Cincy isn't ready yet to make a run for a SB either. This is the same team that had like 6 wins in total 2 seasons before this season. Still a lot of work to be done.

celest zephyr
#

yeah there definitely is

chilly flare
#

I do not think Jimmy G is a good QB

rustic mountain
#

Obviously someone in the AFC is going to the super bowl

celest zephyr
#

he's not good but he can run an offense at a fine enough level

rustic mountain
#

If I am not being a pats super fan, I take KC rn

celest zephyr
#

to be a playoff team

chilly flare
#

But doesn't he have a 31-13 record as a QB? I am not a big "Wins area QB stat" person but it is kind of weird

celest zephyr
#

not a guy who does much wrong

chilly flare
#

I know the Niners have had a very good roster the last few years

dim kettle
#

rn KC could make another run. But the Titans. Henry get's healthy; things are gonna become interesting.

rustic mountain
#

Jimmy is a lot like Alex Smith

chilly flare
#

But still shocked he has that kind of record

celest zephyr
#

if the team is playing well around him it'll be good

#

eh he just lets the talent on offense go to work and give them the ball in the right spots

rustic mountain
#

I mean that’s the qbs job

#

We all got used to Mahomes and Rodgers being super heroes

celest zephyr
#

yeah exactly he's a game manager that

#

s it

rustic mountain
#

Hell even Tom Brady could be described as that

celest zephyr
#

also i wish lance could do that lol but he can't

dim kettle
#

I still think Lance should be starter. Like, every win that Jimmy G get's doesn't benefit the Niners long term in anyway

rustic mountain
#

I think Lance busts tbh

celest zephyr
#

Jimmy G is having the team play well enough to where they can't play lance

#

honestly yeah decent shot he does

rustic mountain
#

So does Lawrence but that’s more Jacksonville being Jacksonville

celest zephyr
#

feels like some lower round qb is going to pan out well

chilly flare
#

Still think Niners should have drafted Fields

#

Lance was a way bigger risk

rustic mountain
#

They should have too imo

honest umbra
#

agreed

celest zephyr
#

yeah i wanted fields

rustic mountain
#

I am just glad they stayed away from Mac

celest zephyr
#

mac couldn't be justified

dim kettle
#

The first year should honestly not matter as much as the second year. And you're not looking for god like stats with rookie QBs, you're looking to see if he can be the guy.

celest zephyr
#

he's a good qb but just can't trade 3 firsts for him

rustic mountain
#

At least the guy in your system

celest zephyr
#

i'd love to have taken him with the original pick or moving up a bit

#

but a 3 man that's a tough sell

chilly flare
#

I had Lawrence, Fields, Mac, Wilson, Lance in that order coming out as who I thought would be best

rustic mountain
#

Tbh I didn’t think Lawrence would be a sure thing and that’s mainly because

#

Jacksonville

celest zephyr
#

as someone who barely has an idea had wilson first granted did think he needed to develop a lot

rustic mountain
#

Like the dude was kinda doomed

celest zephyr
#

and didn't watch lawrence

dim kettle
#

I just had this conversation earlier. I'm really tired of people saying raw talent QBs should be benched their first year and I'm tired of people expecting these QBs to make a big difference right off the bat on shitty 1-2 win teams.

chilly flare
#

Anyone going to the current Jets and Jags was probably doomed to fail

celest zephyr
#

at this point lance should play but eh

rustic mountain
#

I am not saying its Trevor’s fault Shadow

#

I am saying Jacksonville is gonna fuck it up

celest zephyr
#

i had the feeling that jimmy g was going to get an extra 2 or 3 meaningless wins

rustic mountain
#

They kinda already are by keeping Meyer

celest zephyr
#

over lance if he played

dim kettle
rustic mountain
#

Ahh I see

chilly flare
#

Meyer going to resign in the offseason

#

Or 'medical leave'

celest zephyr
#

tbh here has had in general some of the more rational people i've seen online

rustic mountain
#

Well yeah because the media wants everyone to be like Mahomes

chilly flare
celest zephyr
#

as i mentioned before qbs that aren't hof talents are overrated

chilly flare
#

Absurd standards

rustic mountain
#

They want a sensation to run a story on or talk about how people bust. Talking heads don’t know anymore than anyone else. Nick Wright and Skip Bayless are proof of that

celest zephyr
#

they are useful sure but a bad team runs them to the ground

dim kettle
#

People just fail to understand that let's say Winston and Luck had pretty good rookie seasons. Why can't T-Law and Wilson do the same? And I'm like, Luck and Winston had actual talent on the offensive side of the ball and one of the Jets best receivers get's benched by their HC for causing penalties on back to back plays.

chilly flare
#

Nick Wright is significantly better than Skip

#

I think Mina Kimes is probably my favorite NFL analyst on ESPN or any other sports network at the moment

rustic mountain
#

I thoroughly dislike Nick Wright and Skip Bayless and find them both insufferable for different issues

chilly flare
#

I always learn something new

celest zephyr
#

i mean its in the name

#

they are there to talk and entertain

rustic mountain
#

Bayless I am pretty sure the dumbest man on all of television

celest zephyr
#

tbh anyone who goes to them for rational takes is just foolish

rustic mountain
#

Or Cowerd

#

Oh for sure

dim kettle
#

I don't even pay attention to ESPN, Fox Sports personalities. Because they never look deep into things like Rookie QB expectations.

rustic mountain
#

I honestly don’t care for their opinions either way but some of the takes are baffling

chilly flare
#

I think you should give Mina Kimes a chance. I think she is fantastic

celest zephyr
#

mina is fine but idk not great

rustic mountain
#

Maybe. I only listen to some stuff at work on break for a bit. Don’t make a habit of listening to any of em

#

Pat Macafee is kinda funny sometimes

dim kettle
#

You know ESPN has Dan Orlovsky on their NFL shows. And I'm like, yeah, because I really want to know an hot-take opinion from a guy whose most known for running out the back of the endzone.

chilly flare
#

Give her podcast a listen this week and if ya dont like it obviously that is cool but she knows what she is talking about for sure

rustic mountain
#

ESPN out here hiring some the worst players

chilly flare
#

Dan is not great lol

rustic mountain
#

Didn’t NFL network have David Carr

#

Lmao

dim kettle
#

I remember David just simping to Derek whenever he could in 2015-16

rustic mountain
#

Yep

#

Then Warren Sapp for like a couple years but

#

Yeh

#

We know what happened there

#

Also fuck Marshall Faulk

dim kettle
#

Man, if you ever watch the show they have on NFL Network before the games, it's like a bad SNL sketch.

rustic mountain
#

Imma ask this

#

Do any of you care for those Rob Riggle skits on fox

#

At all

#

They had Frank Callendo for a while too

dim kettle
#

I don't even bother watching those pregame shows to even care.

rustic mountain
#

I stoped watching pre games a long time ago

#

But my brother will

#

And he likes the sketches and K just kinda go

dim kettle
#

I'm usually listening to my local cities sports radio show.

rustic mountain
#

I literally don’t turn on my tv til kickoff lol

celest zephyr
#

i just watch the game or use any pregame as just background entertainment

chilly flare
#

Most pregame shows are dog water

#

I am with Kimmy they are good background noise

rustic mountain
#

Usually I’ll just kinda chill with my gf in the morning if I have an afternoon game and if it’s morning, I just wake a little earlier and do some chores

dim kettle
#

I used to mute my TV and play the Bucs radio commentary. But since I use internet to watch TV now, It's like a minute behind the radio.

rustic mountain
#

The commentary is always ass unless it’s like Romo

dim kettle
#

I like Kenny Albert and Kevin Harlan, That's about it.

rustic mountain
#

Albert is good too

#

Does a lot of CBS so a lot of New England games

#

Joe Buck is the most boring commentator I stg

chilly flare
#

Unpopular opinion but I don't hate Joe buck

dim kettle
#

I prefer Buck doing baseball games. And I know that's a meme to say.

rustic mountain
#

I don’t hate Joe

#

I just find him boring

chilly flare
#

I actually like him more on MLB but I don't hate him with Troy on fox

rustic mountain
#

Not Jason Witten bad though

#

Witten should have never been in a box

#

Fuck dude

dim kettle
#

Joe has gotten better with reacting to stuff in football. I can at least say that.

#

I just think his voice just fits better with baseball.

rustic mountain
#

And Booger McFarlane or whatever his face was

chilly flare
#

Do yall agree that the Manning cast on MNF is better when it is on?

chilly flare
rustic mountain
#

As much as I disliked both Eli and Peyton when they played, they are genuinely enjoyable to watch for mnf

chilly flare
dim kettle
#

They're entertaining. But if my team is playing, it's hard to pay attention to the two of them.

rustic mountain
#

I really only watch my team now so idk how they are outside of that

dim kettle
#

Yeah, I really only watch the Bucs and that's about it most times. Football isn't even my favorite sport to begin with.

rustic mountain
#

I mainly catch scores and if I am interested in the team I play next, I watch highlights of their last game

#

Football is kinda the only sport I follow rn

dim kettle
#

Hockey and Baseball I can watch every day. Football, meh.

chilly flare
#

The bears get primetime games in back to back weeks??🤢

rustic mountain
#

Basketball, genuinely, bores me so bad I cannot stand it. I am happy if others like it

#

But I just can’t

dim kettle
#

BEARS FOOTBALL!!

rustic mountain
#

Hockey is fun af

#

But I am not invested in any team hard enough

chilly flare
#

Hockey might be the most entertaining sport to watch in person

dim kettle
#

No kidding.

rustic mountain
#

It really is

#

Even minor league

#

It’s just. Cool shit

chilly flare
#

I don't really have a hockey team because I only occasionally watch it

dim kettle
#

Hockey is the only sport I really tried playing fantasy with. Let's say it didn't last long.

rustic mountain
#

It’s becoming tradition in the house to watch the stanley cup final

#

I hate fantasy sports

chilly flare
#

But I remember liking Chara for the bruins way back when when I had like NHL 2012 or something

haughty moss
#

fantasy only cool for basketball and football

rustic mountain
#

Played fantasy one year with my brother’s friends and they were all major asshats and just not fun

dim kettle
#

I can't get into it. I root for teams, not players to get a specific amount of stats

rustic mountain
#

Exactly

chilly flare
#

But being a Yankees fan liking anyone from Boston makes me nauseous

dim kettle
#

As a Rays fan. Same feelings.

rustic mountain
#

I used to be a Red Sox fan

#

But rehiring Cora ended that

chilly flare
#

Cora is a good manager though

rustic mountain
#

Now just New England and that’s about it

haughty moss
rustic mountain
#

Cora is a cheating asshat who Boston “fired” for one year then brought back

#

It stuck with me really really wrong that they did that

chilly flare
#

Hard for me to be that against cheating because I know deep down the Yankees probably did similar 'tactics' as the Red Sox

celest zephyr
#

don't like the celtics as a raptors fan or the bruins

chilly flare
#

Not as far as the Astros went

#

Astros can absolutely suck it

rustic mountain
#

It was more the way it was handled. Every sports team does shit. They do.

chilly flare
#

They didn't even really apologize

rustic mountain
#

But Boston pretended to be all full of dignity and respect

#

Just as a show

dim kettle
#

Sometimes I forget the Rays were a victim in the Astros cheating. Doesn't hit me as hard as let's say a Yankee fan because I didn't have that much expectations as the Yanks did in 2019

rustic mountain
#

Then hired Cora back

#

Woulda been one thing if they stuck by the dude or stuck with the firing. But nah

chilly flare
rustic mountain
#
  1. Bill owned up to Spygate and took his lumps
chilly flare
#

The Rays and Yankees have had their beef in recent years

#

And I think tropicana is silly

rustic mountain
#
  1. If you genuinely believe New England deflated the balls I can’t help you man
dim kettle
#

Most of my family are Yankee fans, so, yeah. lol

dim kettle
chilly flare
#

But I find them easy to root for when the Yankees are out because they always have a super low payroll and rely on scouting + development

dim kettle
#

Also, takes me almost 2 hours to get to the damn place.

chilly flare
rustic mountain
#

Lol no worries

#

I just know there are people who still cling to it and I just kinda shrug

chilly flare
#

Also about the Patriots

dim kettle
#

Not like deflating the balls actually played a factor in the Colts game anyways. They could've had 10 thousand pacifistas out there and they still couldn't have stop Blount.

chilly flare
#

Is Donta Hightower one of the most under appreciated linebackers/defenders of the last decade or what?

rustic mountain
#

stares intensely at my Hightower jersey

#

Yes

#

Yes he is

#

Donta, in my humble opinion, is the best linebacker in New England’s history

dim kettle
#

I still think Tedy Bruschi doesn't get talked about enough. He was one of the faces on the defense for those 2000s Pat teams.

rustic mountain
#

Trust me. I love Teddy. I do

#

Donta just has been more impactful imo from the time he got there. He literally came in his rookie year and solidified himself as a huge piece of the team

chilly flare
#

People always talked about Wagner and Keuchly (rightfully so they were amazing) but Hightower was also in that tier of LBs imo

rustic mountain
#

I agree.

chilly flare
#

May not have been as good as them at their peak but still in that tier for sure

rustic mountain
#

Hightower is definitely in that category imo

dim kettle
#

Richard Seymour was there too. The Pats had so many great players on D that get forgotten because Tom Brady and the offense were often the talking point.

rustic mountain
#

Ty Law, Richard Seymour, Rodney Harrison, Tedy Bruschi, Mike Vrabel, Vince Wilfork

#

Willie McGinest being the man

#

Tons of fond memories of Asante Samuel and even Roman Phifer

dim kettle
#

That 07 team, yeah the offense was OP af but that defense was as elite as it ever was... Until that day

#

I'll just sneak this in

rustic mountain
#

Would trade the Rams ring and the Falcons ring for that one

dim kettle
#

I think Tom would trade 5 rings for that one.

#

Too bad no team went 19-0.

#

Now it's 20-0

rustic mountain
#

Oh well

#

Like dont get me wrong it would be cool to have but

rustic ore
rustic mountain
#

6 rings and 10 appearances

rustic ore
#

Oh wait

#

Nvm, I'm dumb

#

I counted the WC game

rustic mountain
#

And even though Tom is going to the hall for us, he keeps adding to resume with TB

rustic ore
#

Which we appreciate

rustic mountain
#

So it just makes him the GOAT for pretty much ever

#

And that’s cool af to have

rustic ore
#

First time in almost 15 years that the Bucs have had back to back seasons with a winning record, first time in over 20 that they've had back to back 10+ win seasons

dim kettle
#

You know, if the Bucs win and the Falcons lose next week. The Bucs win the NFC South for the first time since 07.

chilly flare
#

I keep thinking Brady is 40 when he is actually 44… will never be able to wrap my head around what he is doing at that age

dim kettle
rustic mountain
#

I am always expecting a game where Tom just. Crashes but even if he isnt sharp one week

rustic ore
#

Hence why I said almost 15 years 😉

rustic mountain
#

He comes back and throws 350 and 4 tds and I just

dim kettle
#

I hate thinking that I was 9 years old the last time the Bucs had a home playoff game.

rustic ore
#

I mean, technically

dim kettle
#

No, the SB doesn't count. lol

#

Couldn't even fire the cannons

rustic ore
#

We did after the game was over though

#

😎

dim kettle
#

Still never thought Tampa of all teams would be the first team to host a SB at home.

rustic ore
#

Same

#

Happy we could set a cool 1st ever in NFL history instead of one of our many numerous depressing ones

dim kettle
#

Hey, we hold 26 game losing streak with pride around here.

rustic ore
#

Like taking 31 years to get our first ever kick return TD

Atleast he isnt Maguire

was a bit of a downgrade to go from xhaka who's a really good captain to auba, wonder who gets it now

silk notch
#

Well I thought fans hated Xhaka cause of told them to fuck off that one time lol

#

Cant be captain after that

burnt cedar

Was flirting with joining Roma this season too

If he gets captain it’s a joke

he got stripped after the incident in palace

What point is a process if he’s the one leading it

nah that's true

Him and lacazette

Personally would be fine with Tierney or Gabriel getting it

Ramsdale/Odegaard too early for them as they’ve just joined

why odegaard

He’s Norway’s captain

only been there for 2 seasons

End of the day it doesn’t matter who’s captain

silk notch

Well it kinda does but it's not that important

burnt cedar
#

Our manager is constantly in war with players

#

Today it’s Auba

sweet tree

I think xhaka is probably the best one there is for that job but I guess it's probably better to bet on someone new

burnt cedar

Tomorrow it’s whoever else is captain

silk notch
sweet tree
#

yeah

#

kinda awks to give it back too

burnt cedar
#

You can’t be here for 2.5 years and talk about culture yet constantly be fighting the players

It’s gotta be your man management that’s the problem then

Still kinda crazy how auba just fell off

Man was so good

His xG was gonna catch up to him

Also we don’t really create much for him

He does look slower though

Probably the contract too

Yeah he’s eating good

Personally wanted him and laca sold last year

silk notch
#

Man got that 350k a week right?

burnt cedar
#

Now we won’t get much for either

burnt cedar
#

Apparently he has a ucl bonus which he gets even if we don’t make it

silk notch
burnt cedar
#

Now he’s most likely leaving for free

silk notch
#

Laca just been a failed transfer lmao

burnt cedar
#

Yeah that’s why we signed Auba 6 months later QueenKEKW

silk notch
#

Wasnt the most amount of goals he gotten like 10?

#

In a pl season

burnt cedar
#

Yeah lol

#

I think 13 is his career best in the prem

#

But 10 on average

#

I can see us doing some bs like a Auba for coutinho swap

sweet tree
#

would be an upgrade over luuk de jong

#

tho I don't want him

burnt cedar

He’d be fine in la liga I think

silk notch

Is coutinho still worth something?

sweet tree

idk

burnt cedar
#

I don’t want coutinho at all lol

I forget that man even existed

I think atleti want lacazette

They’ve been obsessed with him for years not sure why

Wasnt arsenal trying to get aour or something a while ago?

#

My bad to cut you guys off, was just on my mind. Also congrats @burnt cedar @short spindle on the win tmw. I don’t have much faith in West Ham here. We’re shit against Arsenal, I think I’ve only seen 2 league wins against you guys since I’ve been a fan in 2014. If Bowen can’t score tmw I’m not sure who will, especially if Cresswell is out… need him to take corners

#

Antonio has 1 goal in the last 12, his form is completely out the window and we don’t have a striker on the bench. No consequences for him if he’s poor

burnt cedar
#

He will score

#

When a team/player needs to get back into form arsenal is there for them

#

United first win at home Everton only win in 8

that’s what I said going into Burnley, but genuinely he’s off

I don’t think you’ll win though as you’re terrible at the emirates

The thing about Antonio too, you’ll see tmw, he fucking drifts everywhere. You’ll see him flying down the left and there’s going to be no one at the middle

burnt cedar
#

Firmino didn’t score for 19 games I think then scored a hattrick vs us

Yeah exactly, I genuinely don’t have much faith for a result. And no Auba… that’s great for you guys. Saka and ESR should have a field day

ad going from being the lakers future to getting booted out

#

yeah it is

honest umbra
#

I mean nothing will happen to AD either

#

but he’s def more of a problem rn than westbrook

#

I actually enjoy watching Westbrook rn lol

celest zephyr
#

idk man if lebron sours on ad then it'll be a different story

honest umbra

eh they’re too close

#

won’t happen

celest zephyr
#

true but eh he might do it for the team

honest umbra
#

lebron didn’t sour on wade or bosh or even kyrie

#

kyrie soured on Lebron which is a different story

#

if AD wants to leave, that’s a diff story

celest zephyr

they also weren't a big issue on the team

honest umbra
#

lol bosh got equally amount of hate on those heat teams

#

it’s just forgotten becuz its bygones

celest zephyr
#

different if he was playingwell

honest umbra
#

but AD is supposed to be 2x more talented and be the number one

#

and got hella more money

#

so our expectations for him are rightfully so

#

yet he hasn’t delivered except one anazing playoff run

celest zephyr
#

yeah ik that's what i meant

#

players get hate always just cuz people can

#

but if the guy is performing below expectations then that's more warranted

#

tbh why do people think ad can be the number 1 he had one mvp candidate caliber season in new orleans but never really elevated the team that much from what i remember besides that season

#

and then the playoff run where he was good but granted bron was still quite good also

Also, looking at some Jets clips, Mike Lafleur is not the issue for them. Wilson isn’t playing up to par, missing the easy ones. @dim kettle

dim kettle
#

Never blamed the coaches. The talent just isn't there and it's making Wilson missing screen, 5 yard passes for one game worse.

#

No QB with the talent the Jets have is gonna succeed in that offense. Tom Brady his last year played with little talent on the offense and 2 teams only offered him contracts as a result.

smoky fable

At this point, you expect a certain level from these qbs

celest zephyr

and pretty much every rookie other than mac has fallen far below that

wilson isn't doing well but considering how bad the others have been doing its par for the course

some of lance's throws make me feel like he thinks feet are hands

You can’t make the mistake in keeping rookie qbs for too long like Darnold and Daniel Jones

celest zephyr

its the risk with draft picks

sometimes you hope it pans out until it becomes painful obvious that it hasn't

#

not every team can pull an arizona and dump off a top draft pick at qb for another one

smoky fable
dim kettle
# smoky fable To your earlier point, you advocated for them to start. Well, they have to show...

Well, one, no matter how bad he plays his first year, that's learning experience for both the QB and team and two, we sure love talking about the mistakes like his inability to throw these simple passes while we never talk about the throws he makes that get dropped. Obviously, you're not gonna gonna see a lot of great throws when a receiver like Mims is getting benched for the rest of the game because he screw the offense from getting more than a FG.

smoky fable
#

Mims wasn’t get much playing time there

dim kettle
#

Because he got benched for causing 2 penalties back to back

smoky fable
#

Even before that he was getting inconsistent playing time

dim kettle
#

He was his number one receiver that game. Don't you know his 2 "starting" receivers were injured? Should that be an indicator of the lack of talent that team has? Like you're not wrong. Wilson is struggling with simple football throws. Lot to improve on. But the fact that we're expecting him and T-Law to show anything, on two rosters that combined for 3 wins last year is just insane. We can call them disappointing rookie seasons, but to call them busts off the bat is just nonsense.

smoky fable
#

I know they’re hurt. Their best running back in Micheal carter is out as welll

dim kettle
#

Like, Luck at least had Reggie Wayne, Winston had Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson on both sides, Herbert had shit ton of talent to help him last year. At some point, we need to go back to tape and see how many of these "could of" throws were dropped. Because I'm very interested to see the number.

#

The Jets and Jags are very rare for bad teams with rookie QBs. Because unlike other teams that have gotten the first 3 picks in the draft in the past, the two teams were gutted on the offensive side of the ball. Even the 0-16 Lions had Calvin Johnson when they drafted Stafford. The Jags have James Robinson that's about it. And the Jets have no one.

chilly flare
#

It could also be said that Urban is not putting the little talent the jags have in the best position to win/play well

#

I mean come on

dim kettle
#

Oh, I definitely think the Jags and T-Law are being used wrong by Urban. Heck, Justin Fields was screwed by Numbskull Nagy from the start.

celest zephyr
#

lance too

chilly flare
#

Nagy really making it his mission to kill fields out there

celest zephyr
#

either a complete and utter gimmick player or fuck it he can be our running back

dim kettle
#

IDK how you can judge a QB like Fields when the schemes he's given are small routes that take forever to develop. And this is coming from someone who had a lot of concerns for him going into that draft.

celest zephyr
#

Nagy acting like he's going to lose his job anyways

#

he also at some point was barely running the ball

chilly flare
#

Lance had a little over 300 pass attempts in his entire college career. His potential upside years down the road clouded the reality that he has A LOT to work on

dim kettle
#

But for the Jets, it's combination of Wilson and a lot to do with the talent around him. Because I saw enough dropped passes thrown by him to say, he's getting too much hate.

celest zephyr
#

i know he does

#

its a miracle if the pass actually hits the guy's hands

#

let alone with the right amount of touch

chilly flare
#

I think Fields would have been a massive win for the 49ers

dim kettle
#

People were saying similar things about Josh Allen in 2018. He didn't have talent either.

celest zephyr
#

fields yeah at least they'd be playing him over jimmy g

#

lance has got to play to know if he's any good

dim kettle
#

Someone as raw and looking to improve like Lance should be starting so the team can pick up what he can improve on. Because what he does in practice squads and what he does on game day are two different things. Kyle is being a moron for not using him rn.

chilly flare
#

I think Lance being such a work in progress would benefit from a ‘redshirt’ season

dim kettle
#

In the workplace they always tell you you learn best from hands on experience. If this was a second round pick it's one thing to redshirt him. But this is a first round pick you traded up to get. Cut the bulllshit and start him.

celest zephyr
#

i've just really disliked how he's been used when he's on the field so honestly i wouldn't hate it

chilly flare
#

And with jimmy G playing well in recent weeks and the 49ers being in the playoff hunt Kyle probably also weighing that looks a lot better for his job security than having 3 wins rn

celest zephyr
#

i'd rather get 3 wins rn then get 3 wins next year

#

and only then figure out if lance is even worth anything

dim kettle
#

You drafted the QB with a high draft pick because you knew Jimmy Garbage isn't the guy. If he was, he would've handle his business in the SB a few years ago, period.

chilly flare
celest zephyr
#

that's just not how it works lol

#

lance needs reps bad

#

he'll in all likelihood need like 2 years of playing to even be decent

dim kettle
#

The problem is, you want to get every advantage of that rookie contract he has to see if he's the guy. Raw talent needs the game day experience to develop more than any other QB drafted with a high pick.

#

Here we're in a situation where the Niners aren't even that great. What? You're hoping to sneak into the 7th seed and get jobbed by the Bucs or Packers in the first, second round? Like, it's the same when Dalton was the starter for the Bears, every win that JImmy G has as a starter in 2021 is meaningless, he's not the future, Lance is.

chilly flare
#

He is such a young QB. In age and in overall experience. I don’t blame them by taking it slow and trying to get him up to speed on the mental aspect, schematics, etc… before throwing him into the fire and possibly ruining his confidence among other things. My guy played ONE full season at the FCS level with barely 300 pass attempts. IMO I don’t think it is the worst idea to try to get him up to speed this year and go into next season in a QB competition

chilly flare
celest zephyr
#

its true for other sports also

chilly flare
#

I wonder how he looks in practice

celest zephyr
#

teams now want to win when they don't have to pay young guys what they deserve

dim kettle
#

That myth that a rookie QB is gonna ruin his confidence because he was thrown in too early. Look, the things like getting hurt, having his confidence ruin, etc could happen his rookie year, it could also happen his 7th year. The point is, it doesn't matter, Speed on the mental aspect, schematics, etc, he's only gonna learn that best by playing.

#

Because you also have to see how he handles adversity.

#

Like, it's one thing he was behind Matt Ryan. Because it's Matt Ryan, former MVP, can still play. But Lance is behind Jimmy G, like cmon.

chilly flare
#

I guess we won’t know fully until next year

#

But I don’t think they are handling it as poorly as y’all do

chilly flare
#

All of this could have been avoided if they drafted fields

celest zephyr
#

why i've mentioned or at least thought that lance under matt ryan would be scary

dim kettle
#

We see what's happening with Miami with Tua early on this year. It's because that organization had Tua benched then start, then benched again his rookie year, they didn't truly know what they had in Tua and they're still figuring it because Flores and Grier are fools.

celest zephyr
#

Tua's a decent qb at this point

dim kettle

Tua is showing it now, but it should've been much sooner, but since the coaching kept playing hot potato with him last year going into this year, here we are.

from the words in training camp at practice, he wasn't

And it was evident since Smith started that year

like guys still need to develop before they can play

We had the same amount of questions for Mahomes his second year as his rookie year.

celest zephyr
#

it helps them prepare for the game

#

and he proved them wrong with his play quickly after

but from what mahomes did in his one game he played that season i doubt he'd have been a superstar right away

Remember that same year. The Texans had Tom Savage start over Watson that first game and had to bench him immediately in the middle of the game. Man, do you look like a clown for doing that.

tbf tom savage was ass

#

alex smith was still a decent qb

smoky fable
#

had his best year didn't he

#

before he melted down in the playoffs

dim kettle
#

If Smith could thrived that season, a rookie Mahomes could've done the same and much more. Again, if one year on the bench could make a QB a MVP, then you have to imagine how big he could've been his rookie year.

I doubt the Chiefs have any regrets

nope

In the last 20 years, how many of these first round QB draft picks who were benched their first year benefitted from it. Rodgers? He was only benched because Favre was still there, Palmer? He could've easily been better than any QB the Bengals had that season. Even Stafford started for a Lions team that went 0-16 started day one. Because I'm pretty sure Rex Grossman, and Brady Quinn sure learned a lot from being benched their first year.

The main reason why everyone wants to do the bench a rookie thing is Rodgers

#

Because I can't think of anyone else who benefitted from it

Without the context of why it worked of course

Absolutely

Looks like we'll be calling the Raiders and Browns game the Covid Bowl at this rate.

#

You notice it's always teams like the Browns and Broncos, etc that get the worst luck with cases?

Definitely up there with the Bobby Petrino hiring

Was about to mention Petrino

Petrino won more games

Now he'll be another HC used in the narrative that you shouldn't hire college HCs when in reality it's as much as a gamble as hiring a coordinator.

In the same amount of time: 13

He only won 3
