Moore getting away with push-offs

Damn, Ron, not Slye.

Fields was on the run, and that's the reason he short-armed it.

It just goes to show that he has some skills, but just hasn't been in the right situation. Honestly, as much as I've been hearing about Fields to Atlanta, that would kinda be scary.

I would. He hasn't been the main guy like McLaurin, Samuel or Metcalf (or D.J. Moore). $25 would be the absolute ceiling for me, and his tape would have to compel me.

Frank Reich,

Come on, man...

FIFY

That surely is a fear, but you'd think that being a psych guy that he'd be able to get past this. We'll find out. He never has had to suffer much adversity. We'll see what he's made of.

Yes, it's obvious. Being that he is a rookie, you'd think that he will not only learn this, but the other characteristics and nuances of the pro game.

I agree with you there. We're not close this year, and a loss to the Lions is pretty much it. No team in NFL history has made the post season after having started the season 0-5. Wouldn't mind having Jeudy, but he hasn't proven to be a WR1, and including day one or even day 2 draft capital seems like a compound of errors.

I never thought that he was terrible in the first place. He's a rookie playing with a rookie where play calling doesn't necessarily play to his strengths in an offense that's a little Helter Skelter. It's going to take a while for him to develop.

Not really

He's already made up his mind, so he sees what he wants to, proclaims it to his "amen corner," and they commence to proliferate it as fact.

Because of his preconceived notions. He's the one that had to be convinced about Bryce, and to be honest he probably never was fully on board. We heard all the rumors about Reich and big QBs. Well those rumors were probably closer to the truth than not. He was NOT the one pushing for Bryce.

Obviously reading comprehension isn't your thing. Having elite arm strength does not mean that you have a weak arm, period. He has an arm good enough to make all throws.

Because fuging Frank Reich opened up the playbook, that's why. The arm talent argument was and is bullshit.

Being small and lacking physically don't necessarily go hand in hand. Bottom line: He knows how to throw a ball based upon his football history.

Philly knew it, just not us.

Not that I even believe that Reich will be fired (a man can dream), but my answer has been the same since Rhule was fired: JIM HARBAUGH!

Reich is the center of the problem. For the life of me, I don't get how you guys think that his arm just suddenly disappeared just because he got to the pros. Anyone intimating that he has a noodle arm is simply not interested in truth because that wasn't on his college tape, nor is it on any scouting report.

Rookie seasons go poorly all the time. A rookie QB fuging up here and there should be expected. The problem is that people won't really acknowledge who/what the real problem is. Bryce has only played THREE games, and is trying to play within the scheme he is being taught, with the play makers and protectors that play with him (who have arguably been put into a tough spot themselves if you look at their regression) He's not going to be perfect, but the book has barely begun to be written.

What Reich needs to do is coach, including improving his schemes and opening up the play book to put his rookie QB into the best position to succeed. That's supposedly what he has all those years of NFL experience doing, and it's what he's being paid to do.

You just need to stop saying/intimating---whatever you want to call it---that Bryce can't throw down-field, because it's not true. His lack of down-field throws is a failure of coaching.

Yes he can, and even though it would have the great possibility of nuking the season, it's already dead anyway. One thing that I don't know if was mentioned (because I just don't have time to go through 19+ pages right now), is that Tepper already has experience firing a coach mid season with decidedly positive results from the W-L perspective. I mean, what, is it going to get worse? I don't have any sentimentality over Reich, social graces or norms. Make history, Tepper, do it!
