I was talking to a squeelers supporter today and he thought they we're being reffed out of the bungals game

 

[Big Unit 30]

Plenty of salt from the bay.
You should have destroyed a practice squad talented Chicago but blame refs and rain instead.
Game predictions 24hrs prior were only a matter of how much by. Imagine a winter game in Chicago played in rain …surely a first.
Anyways the great GG exe predicted a bears win and everyone including me had a laugh

One loss closer to Rhule being fired, I can think of worse results, like stumbling to 8-9 and Tepper sees that as good enough improvement to not pay out his contract. All good with me.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Beautiful kick, had ~ another ten yards on it too, the kid has a leg.

My personal favorite in last 15 years was giving them a first down against Browns when they measured and it was short by 3 feet

My favorite was the roughing the passer penalty when Big fat Ben was outside the pocket & the defender was stationary and was not even looking at him. Ben threw the ball, changed direction to hit the player and went down flailing like an Spanish soccer player auditioning for Americas Got Talent.

Second best is the time Tomlin was on field during a punt return and positioned himself like he was part of the coverage unit.

Ah Squeelers. Never seen a team more sucked off by the refs.

Well, as you agreed, young players are always still developing, and Jackson is still learning from year to year various new things, as well as doing other things like changing his mechanics during an off-season to help improve facets of his play, and doing more and more drills to improve pocket awareness, climbing a pocket, etc. All about going from a run-first QB to a pass-first QB has been his annual development from rookie season to now and beyond. That in itself indicates he had flaws as a passer, inexperience in the pocket, and incorrect traits of how to deliver passes with various trajectories, anticipation throws, reading coverages, looking off safeties, going thru progressions quicker and being decisive to get the ball out quicker not wait for a player to be "college open", etc, even just learning to be confident with certain throws, or not afraid to throw into traffic or in clutch situations....stuff that Tua is also still learning.

So...if Jackson is still developing, has a lot of room for improvement, then you're affording Lamar seasons and seasons to develop but not allowing a pre-accomplished passer whose as young as Jackson the same time to also develop his game, fine-tune his flaws and whatnot.

So 1 game is the wrong answer, so is 6 games. So is 1 season, maybe even 3 seasons. At some point we do have to make a decision about a player.

Josh Allen was very green first couple years and people thought he might be a Daniel Jones, then things clicked for him. Meanwhile Daniel Jones is still struggling with things despite being the most pro-ready. Meanwhile Josh Rosen was a great passer of the ball in college but just for whatever reason kept failing to take that step. So eventually 3 or so years later people feel confident writing a QB off. Same with Darnold. Eventually we get to a point with a QB and see they've hit their ceiling. Goff is Goff. Wents is Wentz. Etc.

Remember, Aaron Rodgers really struggled for 2-3 years as Favre's backup, the Packers coaches feared he wouldn't develop, but something eventually clicked. Kurt Warner was written off by a few coaches before something clicked. Rich Gannon and Jim Plunkett both tried and failed for several years like Rosen before years later something clicking in them.

All I was originally saying is that Murray was by far a more consummate passer of the ball than Jackson out of college, and he hit the NFL ground running (as a predominate passer of the ball) in his rookie season. Whereas Jackson was far more greener than him as a passer, needing a run-option offense to suit his skill set, slowly slowly get him acclimated, keep giving him more stuff to learn as he grew, and it's taken say 3-4 seasons from the ground-up learning and developing for him to get him where he is right now, and he obviously still needs another year or two to see if he can be a QB who can throw the ball from the pocket 40-50 times a game, whole offense riding his arm completely, being a consummate passer, elite level, like a Rodgers, Stafford, Cousins, Brady, and those types. He isn't there yet AS A PASSER, AS A PREDOMINATE CONSUMMATE PASSER. As a QB overall he's a different type, a run-pass type. He may not end up ever being a Stafford/Rodgers type. He might. Or he might just reach a certain ceiling of being a very good dual QB and can't go higher or become a consummate pocket passer.

I am more interested in winning. Stats and throws from the pocket are great BUT if you then add other weapons; you stress the defence and thus win more.

There are few QBs who can turn a missed block on the line to a 10 yard scramble for a first down. Lamar does that on a weekly basis. He has to, still no All-Pro LT Stanley on the field (2019 he got great protection and produced his best season). It’s hard to sit back and pass, when your OLine can’t pass block. Already lost the backup LT for the season.

Baltimore are running a pass first offence this year. Lamar had 1 run for 4 yards at half time and he was back there looking for open receivers, rather than running. It was nice to see that the OC is almost forcing him to pass, it will hopefully get the receivers to perform better and not have so many drops. I blame a receiver IF the ball goes through their hands. IF the ball is thrown too early, too hard or too close to the defender; that is the QB / OC fault.

I fault your QB tier for focusing on purely passing and not on winning. Winning, particularly playoffs is the goal.

IMO Any QB tier should be based on: ability to elevate their team to the playoffs (Tier 2); ability to elevate their team to consistently win in the playoffs (Tier 1); ability to elevate their team (Tier 3); ability to not effect the team (Tier 4); a net negative to team (Tier 5).

An entertaining week 1 no doubt

Bills and KC will be huge favourites for the number 1 seed now in the AFC

NFC could be a huge mess. But its still early

Edit: Only tip i'm pissed on was Brown. Had them tipped, but then changed it to Panthers

Glad i tipped the Vikings though, as the majority had gone Packers

Panthers lost mate.

I meant i was going to tip Browns, but changed to Panthers. Have edited

 

[Paul Kersey]

Ripping drive. Peyton is fired up today. Love it.

 

[manureid]

Geno Geno Geno!

 

[J Shuttlesworth]

Crowd is up and about haha

Good stuff.

 

[J Shuttlesworth]

Beck put 30 down nicely.

 

[J Shuttlesworth]

Jesus Adams is a dickhead.

 

[aussiedude]

Missed the first drive and Seattle have already scored more than i expected them to.

 

[aussiedude]

Thats dumb, and a fine incoming.

In college its a clear targeting ejection

 

[Coops93]

Pretty dodgy start by the Broncos D.

 

[Paul Kersey]

‘Look how tight my shirt is’. Hahaha.

 

[aussiedude]

Pretty dodgy start by the Broncos D.

Thats an understatement. they are getting marched down the field by a team most expected to be in the running for pick 1.

 

[Coops93]

That right there is why Fant was traded by Denver. Big tight end getting hit and pushed backwards easily when going for a first down. Pretty sure he actually got a favourable spot as well there and still didn't get it. Looked to be a foot short yet got spotted only an inch short.

Finish the play big boy.

 

[aussiedude]

spot looks short, but doesnt look like enough to challenge.

 

[J Shuttlesworth]

Was sure they would get a home spot.

Times really have changed in Seattle.

 

[Jatz]

That's so bad. How do you not get a bees dick there.
