Bellmaker posted:He should have been pulled from the Bills game and not been in the drat Bengals game it's not that hard folks Evidently it’s not that hard since we’ve seen spotters miss obvious bad hits multiple times and had multiple players sent right back out only to later be put into protocol and then players clear protocol on time for the next game anyway. The problem is what’s good for a players health isn’t necessarily good for their career and often the two are diametrically opposed. It would be best for Tua’s health if Flores had stayed because he’d have been benched and not gotten a chance to get hurt. Wouldn’t have been great for his career though. Anyway, putting the onus on coaches to interpret a player’s medical fragility and make decisions about whether they’re healthy to play is stupid. It’s guaranteed to lead to bad outcomes. They could simply change the rules to state that any player who enters the protocol is disqualified from their next game which would address many of the concerns about second impact syndrome, but that’s probably not popular with either the players or the owners.

Relentlessboredomm posted:I don’t think Brady is good anymore but he’s still better than Carr and can consistently move the ball especially with a real TE and slot receiver. With Brady they would’ve made the playoffs this year He can consistently move the ball 5-7 yards at a time in the last two minutes of the half. Kalli posted:Yeah, Brady's getting old, but he just put up a still pretty good statline with a mostly busted offense. Him with Adams / Waller / Renfrow / and a running game would potentially be pretty silly. He had to throw it a billion times to get there. His YPA was at the very bottom of the league. The offense was broken in part because he can’t or won’t throw deep and tried to turn it into the late era dink and dunk pats offense without the players or coaching to support it. Bellmaker posted:I doubt they get Brady. I don’t follow college who’s the 2023 equivalent of Tebow? Anthony Richardson. He even went to Florida.

Kalli posted:But Brady also had to throw because they absolutely could not run the ball at all. They were comfortably worse then the Texans who were comfortably worse then everyone else at running the ball this year. I suspect part of the reason they couldn’t run is because teams were crowding the line because they weren’t worried about getting beat deep when Brady was throwing the ball in 1.5 seconds every time. I know “run to pass” is the axiom but you’ve also got to be able to pass to run as the Titans learned this year.

wilderthanmild posted:Fun fact, Allen also runs more often than Vick did a full 1 carry more per game. He's a .5 carries per game behind Cam Newton, who also eventually got worn down despite a great start. I also worry that Allen's career might be shortened unless he cuts down on runs at some point. Cam hurt his shoulder and refused to get it properly treated so by the end he just couldn’t throw downfield or with accuracy anymore. As for Luck, he probably would have been better off running instead of taking kill shots behind a garbage OL. At least he’d have been better able to protect himself if he wasn’t trying to complete a pass.

Diva Cupcake posted:I feel like there should be an arbitrary cutoff of yards per game to be considered a dual threat QB. Maybe 25 yards per? In which case I guess Russell Wilson would be the longest and his wheels are already off at 33. Wilson is also 10th all time in sacks. He’s another guy that took far more abuse trying to pass than trying to run.

Mega64 posted:It's funny that of the losing-record playoff teams, the Seahawks put up one of the most memorable playoff victories, the Panthers had a dumb slapfight with a very wounded Cardinals, the Football Team had the best performance of any team against the eventual Super Bowl champs, and the Bucs are basically favorites despite being rear end since it's one of the most clutch QBs against one of the most anti-clutch teams. It seems like it works out badly for the team with the winning record more often than not. Which is reason 101 why the cowboys are doomed.

The Puppy Bowl posted:Missed Lamar chat but I didn't want to deprive you all of my golden take. Lamar is great and the Ravens reported offer was a good one. Watson's contract is what has hosed everything up. I don't see how Baltimore could build a contender around Lamar while paying him that much or more in guaranteed money. They need WRs. Well they've been drafting them and that hasn't worked out. You can just keep swinging in the draft but with a record breaking deal for Lamar you can't pay market rate for a #1WR. Assuming he plays out the full contract 250 million fully guaranteed is the same as 250 million with half guaranteed from a cap perspective (they can structure either deal however they want to make them the same). I don’t see how one would cripple their ability to put talent around Lamar and the other wouldn’t.

kiimo posted:49ers should take a lesson from the 90s Chiefs who chose Grbac over Rich Gannon. Purdy made some pretty bad throws that he got lucky on and he looked like poo poo in the 2nd quarter when Seattle moved him off his spot. I think he’s a huge beneficiary of scheme and guys who can rack up insane YAC numbers. He lacks Lance’s arm talent and athleticism. His main strength is getting the ball out quickly and accurately in the short and intermediate game. Not sure how far that can take him or the team if they can’t keep surrounding him with guys like Deebo and McCaffery that can turn those into home runs.
