  1. you celebrated mediocrity for decades. I’m sure you are beyond your wildest expectations right now. sure would’ve been nice to be a little better at a few things the last couple years and maybe gotten a parade or two.
  2. Maybe they’d be first with the extra tool?
  3. that and Davis is not particularly athletic. So if you have diggs and Knox out there plus diggs… It’s just not a particularly agile or blazing group though tua is getting more air yards/attempt too… https://www.fantasypros.com/nfl/advanced-stats-qb.php
  4. that we haven’t in a couple of play calls doesn’t mean it’s not there or they haven’t seen it. That said, it’s not a terribly unfair argument you make either.
  5. I’m even fine with playing to exceptional skill sets like hartys agility and short space speed but I think a lot of this loops back to identity. I also think they should give cook some touches down there just because he’s been such a hot hand. I think he could slip in and then also I think you have to reward him with one at soooooomepoint, right?
  6. I think it was pretty clear they thought the formula to win yesterday was score 20 and don’t give any short fields. How much you can lean on that in this league is a question mark. Letting bad teams hang around within two scores can be trouble though I’d be curious the analytics of it. that said, they did reference Josh playing like he had to outscore Rodgers instead of Wilson in the jets game which was a point I made several times in the aftermath when talking about no one being in his ear.
  7. Because it’s intentionally trolling
  8. I’m not even sure what you are really talking about. The minimal attention and light joking about her being at 1 game?
  9. that’s salary so just prorate game checks to get your number
  10. the defense is certainly passable and if you add back Miller in a meaningfully close to peak form it becomes not just passable for a contender but an asset
  11. as much as anything I’d guess situational more than getting rhythms the guy getting the 1st and 10 carry in a slightly pass heavy offense is going to like have both a higher YPC but also more touches than the specialty back for short yardage or a guy that isn’t able to be in on passing downs. you put the short yardage guy in more scenarios their YPC will go up based on more favorable opportunities not just more opportunities
  12. it’s easy to run when on a bad team that is behind and the defense is just avoiding big plays? here in buff he was often a short yardage back or guy getting carries in more obvious rushing downs?
  13. nor do you see him as a guy that wants to quit or be fired a season or two before breaking the record I bet so something may have to give in that, even if mostly behind the scenes
  14. it is difficult to take that power, it would be easily possible to cede that power.
  15. Herbert has absolutely not entered into 3rd best talk. Hurts has. currently I think the tiers are pretty consistently: mahomes burrow-Allen-hurts lawrence-lamar-tua herbert floating back and forth here Dak-cousins sure you can find knee jerk people to support any opinion on any individual guy for attention and clicks (and I’m sure in randomly shooting this out I didn’t include everyone off the cuff) but generally there’s not a ton of widespread divergence from roughly that these days And I don’t think that’s a terribly unfair area for herbert these days. Top 10 but not top 5? almost no one doing genuine commentary is truly arguing that. Guys trying to manufacture hot takes for attention are the only ones and not even that many of them are taking the stance. There are likely more flat earthers than Herbert over Allen takes.
  16. last year both Allen and Williams were hurt as well as Herbert himself. that made up a lot of his 50 game career
  17. the expectation that every qb has to be a top 3 to be good is a bit of a challenge in these discussions too…
  18. Honestly, only sort of? Mccaffery is only on pace for 60 catches, ekeler had 107 last year the 9ers perimeter threats have a bit more vertical talent too
  19. I think the chargers have suffered from misaligned expectation based on fantasy football and such. as gunner noted - Allen and Williams are both talented players but a poor pairing of skill sets. Ekeler is back and backs don’t win games, generally. they don’t have a ton of true over the top explosive talent to create mismatches and adjust the defensive scheme. throw in bad coaching and you have a collection of talented players with mediocre results.
  20. that’s… I guess one answer you could go with….
  21. Lucky for you google is easily accessible
  22. don’t forget a checkered history
  23. The point, it flys right past you like a Josh Allen fast ball
  24. your right… all the good young qbs came out 3-6 years ago. None are currently coming out or will in the next few years.
  25. and in a few years, yet another will come around with an exciting rookie that plays fearless and well above his pay grade
