God we need an LB that can take on a fugin block. Minute anyone puts hands on our LBs its over.

"Sam Darnold hates D.J. Moore. D.J. isn't trying out there."

Seriously who the fug is this version of Sam who's keeping his eyes downfield and stepping up in the pocket

Sam Darnold just stepped up under edge pressure. Holy poo.

Because of his desire to improvise instead of following the gameplan. Like I'm not saying Geno is bad, he's obviously playing well, but to act like he could do that anywhere and not in an offense that has most of its pieces in place is...a stretch.

The field awareness on the int was fuging nuts. Understanding the route concepts, QBs reads and the weakspot of that zone to get there without Geno seeing him. Just crazy.

D.J. Moore is the only NFL proven WR on a bad NFL offense lol. Like I don't think he's as good as when everyone is high on him, but he's not an issue.

I mean if winning in 2014 didn't kill me, this won't.

This is year 3 for him, he has another year on his contract and he's been crucial in giving us yards. No reason to cut ties. That said we still need WRs on this roster.

I'm not saying it's an excuse, I'm just saying I'm not holding that play against him because we've seen a multitude of plays where he's done the opposite. For example, if it was 7, Shaq a guy who often goes for those type of hit stick plays, I'd give him poo because it's a habit but I'm not gonna hold this play against him. I don't think C.J. is as bad as the huddle gives him poo for, so that don't fly with me.

we're gonna fugin win this shitty ass division arent we

Garbage time, whole team gave up. I'm not holding him solely accountable by that. He shoulda wrapped up there, but we've seen him wrap up so I'm thinking this is the exception. Dude made Metcalf almost invisible out there. He's up there for sure.

I don't know if Sam will ever turn the corner but you can tell he's at least gaining back some of his slinger mentality and confidence. Hope he can play at his best.

I'm gonna bump this, for laughs.

Depends on what you mean by improvements. If by you mean, mechanically 1:1 with next gen, then yeah sure. Everything is there. If by "a big leap in logic from Madden 22" then depressingly no, for every good thing abt Madden 23 there's 2 or 3 more frustrating step backs. On top of that, while next gen load times aren't great, On PS4/Xbone they're unplayably slow. If you want sim poo and don't care abt gameplay atm, I'd look into Axis Football, even on a lower spec PC you should be able to run the sim there and I've heard good things abt the sim and customization options.

Richardson is a first round player though, and while I don't think he'll be top 10, I don't think he makes it too far out of the 20s, definitely not the Titans if they make it to the playoffs. Arm strength, size, speed, upside. He's shown the ability to through with touch, throw on a rope, thrown on the move. I'm a floor guy more than ceiling guy, but that's not the mindset of the NFL GM or Front Office.

I don't really know how you got that but sure. Saying he's got similar running abilities to Cam doesn't mean I'm saying he's the same player is my point.

So let's say Cam is an S tier runner yeah? And Justin Fields is an A tier runner. Saying "Cam Tier honestly" means they are in the same tier of runners. I have never once called them the same player. It just means their running has the same effect on the field when going against opposing defenses, and their ability to out athlete whoever their matched up against while running constantly shines through. I did not say he was Cam, I said "Cam tier". A point you only just now finally concede by saying I compared his running ability to Cam. When I replied to your post -- something sensational and provocative -- it wasn't with the thought of Cam in mind, it was how stupid it was to compare him to Tasom Hill on a post about that players Physical Ability. Keep that in mind, remember, my original post was about Anthony Richardson's physical ability, not his production. Then you reply with...Stats? What the fug do stats have to do with this? That post wasn't about his stats and you're right i didn't read the stats -- they didn't help your argument at all. No one gives or gave a fug about Taysom Hill coming out of college besides Sean Peyton. People care and are studying Anthony Richardson. Obviously Richardson's stats don't matter to much, otherwise Malik Willis woulda been a first rounder. My point after that was just that -- that I never said Richardson was Cam like you kept implying. "I assumed you were since watching them play it's EXTREMELY obvious he isn't anywhere near Cam Newton." So assuming you couldn't have meant "Because he didn't put up as many rushing yards as Cam he can't be as good of a runner as Cam is" because that'd be really dumb, I'm thinking you meant "By mentioning Cam in this post he's saying he's Cam Newton." which wasn't my point or what I said. Lamar is a Cam tier runner. Vick was a Cam tier runner. All 4 players in that tier have different strengths and running styles that worked well and was/is a nightmart to defend against. Saying a player is a really good runner is not saying he's Cam.

Yeah that's honestly the thing. That's going to be the hangup. Either you like the prospect and what he could bring because his film is limited and I'm sure for as many wow moments as he's produced, he's probably got just as many infurating ones on Film. It's probably gonna end up a more extreme Josh Allen situation. Personally I'm more interested in K.J. Jefferson but I can't deny the intrigue of Richardson.

Richardson's archtype isn't anything new, he's a passer with limitations but with the legs. Cam did it. Wilson and Kapernick lived by it. Fields, Allen, Lamar and Hurts are making a living by doing it. The NFLs defenses weakpoint seem to be this, there's no reason to run from it especially being a team who's strength lies in the run game. Richardson as a runner is big, fast, and strong. His type of running will work in the NFL -- if you liked Malik Wilson or Trey Lance he's a much better runner than both of them -- so again, you have to ask yourself where do you think he'll be as a passer in a few years? Do you think his passing and running ability helps your team in the more immediate future. Though truthfully as fans we'll never really know until we see him on the field in an NFL uniform. Richardson can be the next big thing, or he can bust out and be a Jordan Love or a Pat White. But to act like the talent is there especially with the tends of the league is asinine. The arm talent is very apparent, and he's shown the ability to use his arm accurately. He's the Prototype QB.

How bout' you read my post again yeah? Slowly this time, maybe you'll find "Richardson is Cam". I know what i typed and it wasn't that. Like i said, comparing a talent is not saying they are the same player.

No it's probably mostly the A.J. Brown thing, that was a real fug up he's a dynamic player and they aren't paying anyone or will be paying anyone that's worth A.J. Brown, but also their drafts have mostly sucked and their contracts have been terrible even outside of Tannehill. Vrabel's probably safe, it's the roster that's gonna get hit and makes sense to bring in a new GM too.

When did I say he was Cam? Comparing a skill isn't saying this player is that player.

Ah I see you are basing them solely off of numbers. Makes sense why you'd make such a terrible take then.

I mean, same, but it's not as simple as "They just don't exist." NFL's trending towards mobile guys who can throw well enough. What you're hoping for with Richardson is you're drafting a guy who can take the next step when NFL defenses adjust, and honestly you're not gonna find that answer pre-draft.
