So what happened to make Ajayi so bad in between seasons? Did success go to his head?

Also, our goon project site has an NFL Quiz: Weird rules, franchise histories, and the ever-popular "Misc." I don't think anyone will get 20/20, but if you do let me know and I'll maybe make a hall-of-fame list.

The take.

It's bad.

The article.

It's good.

Benoit really, really loves pocket passers and thinks that is the only sustainable model of quarterbacking

THE HELL IS WITH THIS ASS!?





Not a huge sample size at only 44 carries but Ajayi is averaging 7 ypc with the Eagles. They're definitely giving him fewer touches per game than the Phins and he's not quite the workhouse back I was expecting, but he's worked out fine for Philly.

If anyone tried to be a pure pocket passer behind the Seattle OL I'm pretty sure they'd be dead.

What team has a "z" ?

e: also I got an alternative for Which Hall-of-Fame Quarterback’s full name becomes the name of a country if you change the first letter -

Fran Tarkenton - Iran

e: agh, nevermind. Full name.

I got 13 by your scoring system, aced all the rules ones without even bothering to check answers because I'm a rules geek. Blanked on #9 which was easy points if I would have spent longer thinking about it.

I misread the bonus question and spent a good 40 seconds mentally trying to force Blanda into Uganda only using one letter.

Recall in 2016 he was told to stay home when we played Seattle.

Ajayi doesn’t know the playbook, and only runs. He is bad at blocking and mediocre @ receiving. He hated that Drake and Williams were stealing carries.

“He's more of a thrower than a passer” has now forever entered my crusty old guy impression lexicon. It's great. I want to use that sentence construction for all sorts of arbitrary nonsense.

He's more of a catcher than a receiver.

He puts up points, but he doesn't score touchdowns.

He hits the ball with his foot and it goes through the uprights, but he doesn't kick field goals.

I've always seen "thrower, not a pitcher / passer" to mean that you've got no / bad mechanics, and your poo poo will work at lower levels but not at major level.

Basically any QB that has some level of success in the NFL doesn't fit that description.

See, the problem with Lamar Jackson is that he knows how to THROW, but not how to PASS. He's really good at hucking the ball to blank spots all over the field, but he hasn't quite grasped conceptually that the throws should be targeted towards teammates, and thus passed.

I always saw it as the other way around. Cannon arm, no recognition/read skills. So yeah you can get it 50+ yards downfield, except you're not actually throwing it TO anyone.
