That is why it's not really a fair comparison. Every single one of those stat lines are unique situations. Johnson was part of that 0-16 debacle. I understand the frustration though. It has to get better.

Those are all very nice, but it creates some false equivalences, and some of those stats lack important context, such as Stafford taking that start on a Lions team that went 0-16 the previous season. If you want to compare though, Eli's numbers are comparable, except if you look further, his avg/per was measurably higher. It was not a good debut. It could've been worse. Let's hope for better.

It will be sickening if they have somehow gotten 30-some consecutive years of HOF-worthy qb play.

Mr. Big Chest is out there waiting for a new opportunity for a meltdown.

Never should have moved them out of San Diego, but money talks. Everyone likes the idea of not giving billionaires money for stadiums, and that's fine and all. Be able to accept the consequences though.

To be clear I think we all like him and wish he could be on the field. Unfortunately he can't and is giving the team absolutely nothing.

The diehard Bears fan I know tried to sell me on them being 8-2 going into that Detroit matchup. I laughed in his face.

If it is hamstring, would not be shocked with an announcement tomorrow about IR designated to return.

Lot of long faces on that Bears sideline when they just panned by, but really, they've got 2 high 1st round picks coming next daft to look forward to. That should put a smile on their faces.

I said 6 wins at the end of preseason. I'm good. We get 3 wins out of the division, and 3 other wins. We are fortunate to be playing the AFC South this season. The flaws and shortcomings on this team are predominantly hard-wired. That means they aren't going to get magically better, and will be difficulties and obstacles all season.

Not a good stat line no matter how you look at it. That average/per is just downright terrible. Bryce Young TEAM C/ATT YDS AVG TD INT SACKS RTG 20/38 146 3.8 1 2 2-19 48.8

I know. There's still plenty of games to go too.

I don't think there's going to be anyone to find at this point. It's not a great group, and most everyone knew it wasn't a great group, but there's always hope I guess.

They might not be 2001 and 2010 bad, but its not far off by the looks of it.

Saints are doing a fine, fine job of giving this game away at the end.

Nope. He wouldn't have been any better. Don't know if it would've been worse, but no better really.

Well. Part of it might be that 1 starting corner is injury-prone, and the other is a 1-trick pony coming off a major injury.

So this is looking like the 7th straight losing season?

On the bright side, Saints do not have a NFL starting LT. When Penning hasn't been a turnstile, he's been ragdolled all over the field.

The end result is the same whether it's an injury bust or doesn't belong bust.

Seems like he is limping along steadily to that being so.

Titans at Saints has been ok, but full of mistakes.

Horn out for 2nd half. Well at least that is out of the way early on this season.

Absolutely. Teams lose because they don't know why they lose, and he will have to watch the tape, but they're better than they have shown.

My university doesn't field a team. No football. The closest university that did isn't exactly known as a football school. I suppose I shouldn't follow any of it, but I do.
