and this thread gets closed in 3....2....1....

totally unamerican

the scorched earth policy of many in this country is a waste of time. its my way or the highway.....history has shown that thinking like this doesnt work. if fans took a knee, you would hope that the other fans who dont agree would respect their decision and just agree to disagree, but i dont have that kind of faith in humanity anymore. would imagine that somewhere there would be fights, cursing, etc etc... football is supposed to be entertainment, i dont find politics entertaining. too bad people have to inject it into our entertainment. doesnt matter what side u fall on. there are better places to discuss the worlds ills.

dont agree with the rookie QB needs a year on the bench theory. if you have an oline that can reasonably protect him, best way to learn the game and get better is by playing. film study is nice, but you have to play to improve. that being said, appears our oline is terrible at pass pro. sit peterman till that changes. wanna give him a start, game after the bye week looks good. time to plan ahead,

so the rams beat probably the two worst teams in the league, wake me up when they beat somebody in the top 25

this definitely needed another thread.....Dareus is gone after this season.

how is this still a topic? did Sammy cement his HoF status after the first 3 games of this season? or is he still the oft injured receiver who was going to want a crapton of money this offseason with a subpar QB throwing to him? this was a pure business decision by OBD. nothing more. not over paying a receiver that hasnt showed durability..... some of you are assuming Sammy wanted to be here after the season. never assume. better to get something rather than nothing.

what if we still had 2 marginal skill players who became overpayed while still having a mediocre QB distributing the ball to them? probably win the superbowl!!!

entirely possible Zay didnt know where the safety was and thought he might get tackled if he turned up field. lot of variables for a rookie to worry about in the spot.

Zay was clearly lookin for the ball over his right shoulder, meaning that he probably was doin what a smart rookie should do, look to get out of bounds as fast as possible. of course the placement of the ball was left shoulder so he twists and contorts and stumbles his way to a ball that glances offa his fingertips while hes completely stretched out. its possible he ran the wrong route, its possible he looked over the wrong shoulder, its also extremely possible that his QB who doesnt throw guys open or hit them in stride, or throw the ball where its supposed to be on a regular basis blew the pass. either way, we dont know, only Zay, Tyrod, and the coaches know. Thinking that Zay admitted it was his fault actually means it was his fault is naive, no WR throws his QB under the buss, especially a rookie. thinking that this one play that was fouled up (possibly) by a rookie WR shows that Taylor isnt a bad QB is also naive.

lol watched Rex Ryan talking to Jameis Winston on Hard Knocks this season, he says to Jameis "man i never had a QB as good as u, if i did id still be coaching" laughed my --- off. Thats what Rex thought of his hand picked QB after he experienced him for 2 full seasons. tbh, i think this team can win 6 games, id prefer them to win far less. anything over 6 and we might not be able to get in on the QB sweepstakes. think we will be in the 6-10 range picking yet again.... Just remembering how expensive it was for the Luck/RG3 draft. and we're assuming that Darnold comes out. Sixish QBs that people are talking up, one coming from a sub par program, 2 more in subpar offenses, (air raid/spread). If u want the pro style QBs (Rosen/Darnold) its gonna cost ya.

and all of last year

those wonderful blanket statements about a whole group of people.....brilliant work there. must be hard for you to watch all the subhumans wander around in the darkness from your ivory tower.

scares me at how expensive it will be to move up in the draft this year. lots of bad teams who need QBs, and if this draft is loaded with sure fire franchise QBs like we're hearing, its going to take a boatload of capital to grab one if we have to move up more than 5 spots.

its always an "agenda" when somebody doesnt agree with you....

ffs, dont bring politics into this.......you have absolutely no idea whether the OP is Liberal, Conservative, or an Anarchist. cmon.

nothing Watkins did here justifies the usage of 2 first round picks on him. Injuries happen, other things happen, but unfortunately, Watkins is tied to those picks given up, and compared too other WRs in his class taken far lower with better production. Watkins showed flashes. That being said, he hasnt proven hes worth the inevitable asking price at the end of this current season.

but they dont have Watkins so Tyrod has lost the ability to passl

i half wish they hadnt traded Watkins so everybody could see how he doesnt matter. but inevitably there would be other excuses for Taylor then. Bad playcalling, Oline sucks, etc etc etc. But id rather have the player/picks/cap space instead, of the oft injured possibly great WR.

so this is the old "if u dont like it, u can get out" thread. what a brilliant idea.

from the replays i sure looks like 1. Zay didnt expect the ball, and 2. He was running toward the sidelines to get out of bounds if it did come to him. Its probably a little bit on both Zay and Tyrod tbh.

lol u really expect a rookie WR to blame his starting QB in the press? hes taking one for the team. and the team knows it.

Zay was probably surprised the ball was coming to him, probably figured Tyrod was out runnin around already.

so Tyrods strength is the long bomb. yes, a low percentage play that rarely works when u actually have to move the chains. deep balls are lots of fun, very exciting, they rarely convert 3rd downs. and, if u throw 5, convert 1, does that take the top of the defense for the rest of the game? nope, still 8 in the box, like last year. did you even watch the games? its 5yrd throws or 20+yrd bombs. what happens when its 3rd and 6+? i think u know what happens, if youve been watching.

what plays should he have called to make this QB wake up? Run option? Trick plays? Long Bombs? When a defense dares u to beat them one way, and u cant, Doesnt matter what plays u call.
