I can't believe people weren't dying to see the showdown between two 1-3 teams with one true star in between them (who wasn't playing)

Maybe they'll tune in for the second round kicker

Yeah but how visible is he to the casual fan compared to the Cams, Lucks, Rodgers, and Bradys of the world?

Hell JJ is an extremely visible, highly publicized, multiple nationwide endorsement guy for a defensive player and he probably still doesn't get the casual audience to tune in

He's 34

Holy poo poo he's younger than me and looks 20 years older

He looks older than the 58 year old Ken Bone who coaches basketball at U of Montana

Gase is fed up with everyone and still defends ryan tannehill every week it owns

lol @ anyone who thinks Gase has "failed" with Tannehill. It is impossible to even evaluate Tannehill because he's getting pressured at a record rate. It's absolutely incredible.

Then you look at PFF and they show that when Tannehill actually gets any time to throw the ball, he grades out just fine.

tldr: there isn't a QB in the entire NFL that could win in this situation

On the other hand

quote:

27. Brock Osweiler HOU
Osweiler did not pick up a first down until Houston was down 24-0, and that came on a DPI. He did not complete a pass for a first down until Houston was down 24-3 just before halftime. On third and fourth downs, he went 4-of-12 for 35 yards with two sacks, an interception, and just one conversion -- and that conversion came with Houston down 31-6 in the final six minutes of the game.

It's the NFC Wild Card Game. On the heels of Kaepernick leading them to an 11-0 finish, they take on Green Bay in Lambeau. They are down by 3 with 10 seconds left.

He breaks off a long run. "Not again" the fans say. "Not again!"

He's running, the 50, the 45, the 40.

He reaches the 20, the 10, the 5.

A wry smile crosses Dom Capers' face. He presses a button.

The star spangled banner plays. Kaepernick takes a knee at the one. Time expires. Packers win.

Amazing

So far this year the Redskins are 5th in yards per play and 11th in total offense. Cousins has won 5 straight road games dating back to last season, a feat the Redskins haven't accomplished since 1991. That stretch includes 3 division road games. His QB rating is 90.5, higher than Rodgers, Palmer and Cam. His completion percentage is 67.2 and its higher than Brees, Roethlisberger, and Wilson.

I mean, if you're fine with Cousins and all that's cool, but you just compared him to a QB who got off to a really slow start and is nowhere near his career norms, a QB who has been injured because the Broncos launched themselves at his head every play, and a guy who got Delhommed

I wonder if this will ever swing back. I don't expect salaries to go down or anything but thinking more in relation to how much other positions make.

Like, do NFL front offices look at a guy like Brock Osweiler causing a bidding war and think "drat this poo poo is crazy, something needs to be reigned in" or do they think "just shows how few QBs there are in the world, better pay our mediocre dude a billion dollars?"

Well the hope was that Brock wasn't going to be mediocre obviously. And his salary is pretty in line with most starting QBs who have made it to their second contract. If it changes the approaches FOs make, it's less likely to be the amount and more likely to be being more wary about unproven guys

Sorry I didn't list them by name, but that's basically between the Geno Smith and Ryan Lindley tier of quarterback garbage.

Weeden defeated the Colts in Indy last year :colbert:

Rodgers' peak was arguably higher than anyone's ever. It was just shorter than we expected. I honestly think he'll sort things out, but I'll wait to see before assuming he's still in his prime.

You know what the ultimate goal of a QB is though, right? Therefor the best ever are still Brady, Montana and Bradshaw. Until Brady wins another one that is, then he's all alone on top

I'll hang up and listen

I'd hang out with Rodgers a million times before I'd hang out with Favre.

Wow you and I are like complete polar opposites on this

I'd hang out with Favre 10 times out of 10 rather than watch Rodgers's "wacky" antics with Olivia Munn

Nah but implying all Rodgers does is throw to wide open receivers is basically "he's nothing special"

Saying Rodgers doesn't complete ridiculous passes through the tiniest windows on the regular is an admission that you haven't watched him at all

Well obviously Brady shares the one trait that marks a successful quarterback with Bradshaw and Montana

Until he reigns atop that mountain on his own that is after this season

On the other hand, I think the Browns would've killed to have a QB as good as Matt Schaub for the past ten years.

Schaub was only good for like 3-4 years and most of that was Bortles-like garbage time stats

When he actually had a team around him he was best described as above average
