Bear Hands

A bit delayed, but I can't get over how invisible Burns has been the past few games. (Now completely gone from this one ha)

I'm nearing a breaking point. For a new QB, I can be sold that it could take some time. You may only see flashes here and there, but it is not happening at any moment. You can count with your own 2 hands, after 11.5 games, how many passes of his 366 throws this season have been even mildly highlight-worthy. And add on that this is the prospect that we traded the barn for? That's what gets me. I would be upset if this was even a 2nd or high 3rd. It is beyond concerning. Beyond. Physical constraints up the wazoo and nothing to show for. All of these other crap teams with rookies are giving their dudes just as little time in the pocket. They really are. This is not some death gap we have. The Titans in particular have had a really big issue with the OL, an older Hopkins the only option, problems all over. Heck, the Raiders OL has been pretty bad with an iffy running game and O'Connell has been pushing downfield really well. The only rookie QB who has looked worse is Clayton Tune. Yes, the team is poorly built, but you have to be able to see SOMETHING. Anything. There is just nothing to show for from the #1 overall draft pick we traded way too much for. It's becoming such a bad situation.

It's not looking good. And before the inevitable responses, and I get it, we should be patient and whatnot, but it IS possible to see through the forest that is the crap coaching, WRs and OL on this team. There's no zip, the footwork is at an untrained-level at this point, and the jitteriness is getting worse by the week. This is the first game where he looks both frustrated and nervous. It is palpable through the screen. There's just no there, there right now. It's super concerning.

It is absolutely concerning (beyond belief) and anyone not recognizing the issues, with the footwork, with the arm, with the decisions is kidding themselves. It doesn't mean we need to give up on the kid, but good lord...

Well, the game is off. No one type anything stupid and make me come back here lol

Brown getting pressure while being held by 2 guys there. Nice

Burns is getting worked a second week in a row.

What's with the spots?

Some sketchy zebras so far

This is feeling like a 17-9 type affair

Should be a first down there.

What the crap was that second down?

A few bad calls by the zebras in DEN's favor but Houston's defense never broke. Broncos stifled the Houston offense in the 2nd half.

Ward with the INT. What an end in HOU. Great game.

This NE game is gonna be 6-0. Just..wow

The real team that is a QB away - the Steelers

YPA predictions? Do we get over 6.0?

Limps off the field in the second. Comes back briefly in the 3rd but quietly puts himself back on the bench for the rest of the game.

New av suggestion

The Tarpon Springs Pirates

I think he just blacked out his Charlotte experience. A quick month-ish in and out lol

Alrighty -- well the plus is both games are good matchups. Bama (4) v. Michigan (1) Texas (3) v. Washington (2)

Yeah it's really just a headache haha. Alrighty here it is...

FSU may not have their QB, but I'd be very interested to see how McCarthy does against that defense. They weren't world beaters against Iowa.

I don't. Bama is a maybe but have them at 5 behind FSU. Michigan & Wash are locks. I think Texas is surefire #3. It's between Bama and FSU for 4..and I lean FSU
