Wentz is good until he isn't.

The optimist is thrilled with what he's doing, the pessimist just prints out a picture of RG3 and taps it over and over again anytime you say something nice about Wentz.

Wentz looks like a much more polished product than RG3 ever was. Wentz is playing like a pro out of the pocket, RG3's rookie season was made up of unicorns, rainbows and fantastic feats of athleticism.

Have there been any cases of an otherwise HOF bound QB having several great seasons and then suddenly, without an injury, turning to poo poo?

He wasn't HOF bound, but McNair fell off a cliff pretty quickly... and then uh, well fell on a bullet I guess.

You can't rush back back problems, err wait you can't rush back with back problems. Hmm that's not it. You can't come back to back problems when... damnit no.

I get that this would be a very Rex game to win, but I can't really picture a scenario for Bills victory. Maybe Rex is able to flummox Garappolo with some weird coverages, but based on the Bills past history with him, Blount is drat near guaranteed two touchdowns and 7 YPC.

Plus, Sammy's likely out and Woods will be completely shut down by Butler. I'm sure McCoy and Tyrod will have a few good runs, but I doubt Belichick's defense will be caught as flat-footed as Arizona's was.

PLUS PLUS, the Patriots are at home and coming off a long rest. Just... yeah.

I think Garappolo is going to play, but he's going to be very limited and they'll try to lean on the run game. The Bills are giving up around 98/ypg on the ground, which isn't particular good or bad. They should do better if New England is somewhat one dimensional, which I expect them to be. The struggle for the Bills will be to score, as you said with Watkins out New England will be able to focus all their effort on shutting down McCoy.

That being said, this is the fourth game without Brady and it just feels like it's time for the "magic Belichick makes backup QBs great" trope to die an ugly death. And the Ryans would be the perfect dudes for it to happen against.

We already had an awful offensive line and LB corps before this game and now we are going to be down 2 more linemen and 2 more LB's in this game

You have nothing to worry about. We have no run game, awful pass protection, a laughable back 7 on defense and the worst run defense in the league.

After MNF the Saints now hold that honor.

By 2 yards per game more.

I'd rather have some idiot from sports radio (or Bill Simms) take care of the jokes while our head coach is busy preparing the team to go 4-0. But that's just me.

But you guys really need to watch the Rex&Rob "not Hard Knocks" show. The fact that they spent their evenings watching TV and bagging baseball cards is just insane - not as insane as him shouting "MASSIVE SUCCESS" like a TV show character but insane nonetheless.

Huh, you know, usually NFL contract TRADE ideas have no prayer of working due to cap space and accelerated dead money and the age of the players involved.

Joe Thomas is in year 5 of a 7 year deal, has zero future dead money, and is only being paid $10m for each of the next two years.

Joe Thomas is on his age 31 year... there's a pretty drat good argument trading for him is worth a first round pick.

A 1st still seems high for a non-QB on the wrong side of 30.

Unless they plan on drafting a franchise quarterback next season, keeping Thomas on the roster is really, really dumb. He is not going to be in this team's long term future, so trade him while he's still near peak value. If they keep him for next two years they will have squandered his trade value for what? To protect a few garbo quarterbacks during more rebuilding/losing seasons?

That said, one has to presume that with the failed RG3 experiment, the nothings they have behind him and the utter despair that is the rest of their roster, that they will be drafting a quarterback next year. So in that sense, it makes sense to keep JT around, because, if he's happy with losing, having your rookie QB be able to stand in a nice pocket makes development a hell of a lot easier, just ask the Cowboys or Broncos this year.

I mostly agree if they are going to go hard after a real franchise QB. But the thing is what is more valuable to a team attempting to rebuild:

Two years of good left tackle play under a veteran contract?

-OR-

A first round pick?

Kalli posted:

I agree they should stockpile picks, but at the same time, if Joe Thomas is really the mythological story we've been told who is happy in Cleveland and just wants to build a winner, then trading him could actually be significantly damaging to the locker room culture there, and that's gotta be a fragile loving place as is.

Locker room culture is the least of the Browns' problems. Lack of talent and depth is a bigger problem. More picks solve that problem.

Smart teams get rid of players while they're still valuable assets. The Browns should make the smart - if unpopular - move here.

My understanding is that Ryan and Roman disagreed over how to use Tyrod - Ryan wanted to feature his athleticism more.

Also Roman reportedly said Rex was a buffoon who was going to ruin Roman's career.

I was kind of surprised the Onion didn't do an article about Brady getting fat and out of shape from watching football for a month. There was a legit article where he exclaimed how amazing the Redzone channel is - he had never seen it before.
