I have to say it's absolutely stunning that Nate Hacket is the OC. As the QB coach for Bortles is in early years you would think some of the blame would fall on him. Instead he gets promoted.
If he looks like he did the last preseason game you take a 3rd and run.
I still think Tyrod has great hidden value if you accommodate your system to fit what he is good at. The way to build around Tyrod is trade away all your offensive skill positions and use that capital to stockpile the D. Get a few cheap unorthodox
Wideouts like Stevie a few years ago who make up routes on then fly and turn Tyrod loose with making yards on broken plays. Tyrod can put up 20 pts a game with minimal turnovers no mattter who his skill position players are. Seattle was very successful with a loaded D and a very young russel Wilson who made yards to a large extent on broken plays. Wilson year 1-2 is comparable to the experienced Tyrod.
It was disappointing to see kuonjo released no matter what they really though of him. There is enough positive tape on him and with his high pick status that they could have gotten a fifth or sixth particularly as tackles start dropping during camp.
An accomplished college QB should look good against a vanilla preseason D. If the D is testing its exotic pressure schemes the QB play means a little more.
There is such a microscope on NFL teams and the short term effect of losing is so painful that it's difficult to stay focused and tank a full season. Bills just need to dump TT for a 3rd and sign Curtis Painter so they don't accidentally win more than 2 games.
I'm not sure anyone has ever played the position as well as Julio is playing it right now. Has the physicality matched only by megaton and better hands.
The scary thing is if we win more than 3 games we may expend the whole war chest on a franchise qb who may have question marks. Need to do the tanking right. 2-14
I see chad starting some games in the league this year or next. There will be some positives. But something will go wrong off the field and that will be it. It's a one chance league especially at the QB position.
RJ had a 102 QB rating in 1998. But was sacked in 21.3 percent of drop backs. 21.3! His career sack per drop back percentage of 14.8 is the league's all time worst and it's not close for second place. He singlehandedly demonstrated that the QB rating system is worthless as sacks never impact the rating.
