I think you’re probably happy if you’re a fan of any of those teams. None of the QB’s had an, “Uh oh, he doesn’t belong out there” performance, which I think is all you’re looking for at this point.

Trey Lance's accuracy looks awful if you look at the stats, and he certainly wasn't perfect by any means. But there were a few drops and either by design or just the way he does it (which might need to be fixed possibly) he's not getting credit for WR screens because they were laterals.

I mean, WR screens aren't impressive but I actually was kinda impressed. That ball gets out there fast which does help.

e: To be clear I don't want him to see the field this year. Just he wasn't as bad as the game log will show other than that long TD.

Yeah, it's only been one preseason game, but that won't stop the immediate over-analysis

I want him and Fields to play every snap this year. Bears football is threatening to become appointment television.

The saints only gave him a contract to try to get some other team to trade for him, but no one else was dumb enough to do so.

Nah, Sean Payton really, legitimately, likes him. It’s not a long con. He’s doing exactly what he wants, which is to try to turn Taysom Hill into an actual NFL quarterback.

I forgot about the offensive power duo Urbz brought in to develop Lawrence.

quote:

Overall, a frustrating and inconclusive performance, but that completion to Jones is a good sign. Lawrence taking those sacks in a short time on the field? Not so much.

Did Lawrence hold onto the ball too long, or was it that the route concepts designed by offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell and passing game coordinator Brian Schottenheimer did Lawrence no favors? If you’re familiar with Schottenheimer’s work in Seattle, you may lean toward the latter explanation.

I feel bad for Trevor Lawrence. It’s hard to imagine a worse coaching staff to develop a QB. The only name I can think of that rivals Schotty and Bevell is Adam Gase.

To be at least a *little* fair to the Texans, nobody else wanted that job because Watson had declared that he wouldn’t play, BoB had given away both all of their good players and all of their draft picks somehow, and everyone knew that a televangelist huckster was the real power running the team.

Meanwhile they could theoretically hired Arthur Smith, who runs a remarkably QB-friendly system and resurrected Tannehill's career.

Really pleasantly surprised by the defense. I don't care what else happened, allowing only 1 td is really good. Pleasantly surprised with the depth. The offensive line looked like a regular fire rather than a tire fire, which is progress. Most of the people who repeatedly hosed up aren't roster guys.
