It is as much about forcing the defense to defend the whole field as anything else. The success rate is less important. It is nice when you hook up but it has much value as a threat. They have to see you do it to believe you will do it. As far the frequency, the player transcends three play callers, multiple staffs, with pretty much the same frequency. It doesn’t get called. All you really have to do to see it is look at the week three games of 2023 and 2024 with Dalton under center. Just watch. That’s all. You don’t need stats. If you can’t see it, I don’t think you want to see it.

We have been on that roller coaster ride already. He needs to have streaks far longer than a couple of good games. People raved about the Green Bay game in 2023. Which was mostly a good 2nd half and hot 4th quarter. Ask me what happened the next four games, if you don’t remember. or just go look them up. There isn’t much to see. The end of last year had some good things and one excellent outing, and look up what followed that, which you won’t have to but he came out this year looking like week 1 2023. Now he is on a game and a half streak, against a bad Miami team and lowest rated defense in the league - at home. This is the reality in the big picture. He needs to break his pattern, in a positive way.

I am in agreement all the way with that. Combined with the NFL’s greed with the schedule - cutting the preseason - the quality of play over the first two to three weeks of the season has really fallen off. I wasn’t too worried because for one, everyone has to deal with it, and for other we aren’t competing for real yet so use the preseason to evaluate your depth and make the best roster decisions. The fans get lesser quality football, but the fans seem to always come last with the NFL.

It’s the French that are getting knifed. Keep your head on a swivel.

I know your new message board will be top notch.

I see people with a million plays saying they get next to nothing off of them. The internet has in one way destroyed the gate keeping of the record industry and has allowed so many people to reach audiences, but we sort of needed that gatekeeping too. I want to say it is like college sports, the money makers subsidized a ton a great jazz artists and other fringe genres. Most musicians now are relegated to playing for their supper so to speak. Which, historically that is what it always was. I mean, you had patrons, you had the church and with paper and ink you had the start of publishing. Audio recording technology spawned a bubble in time where they could get obscenely wealthy off publishing royalties and to a degree, album sales. It is going back to the old way it seems. But now, there are fewer and fewer musicians who can play an instrument and get a track down live in one take. It’s all synthetic. Boo.

He has yet to earn his job. I do t think he could have beat Andy out is a fair competition. Honestly not exaggerating. They could in no way have someone with NFL QB skills showing him up to the team.

Paris..Don’t get knifed. Be safe.

This thing has been dragged around the mulberry bush so many times I had forgotten that was a major objection of mine to taking him. Physical traits… where are the things that are above average by NFL standards? There wasn’t a single one. To go with the below average stuff. It was all processor point guard facilitator gobbledygook.

I’d say it is easier than making anything off Spotify. They are thieves.

Okay smart guy. See if you can find the postgame. Let’s just say there were no helmets being thrown

Week three of the 2023 season, the big question was answered. In a loss. Everything since then has been face saving bullshit. Almost everything

When people gaslight with the all the throws stuff, I just go on by. It is about as valid as saying he can’t throw it 20 yards. Not worth engaging.

Stat trickery. He was a lot more than that. He showed better in the SB tha Cam did IMO. With a lot less physical ability.

Why not? Everything else is argued. The coaches probably have him wearing the wrong shoes.

We opened with Green Bay on MNF as I recall. Viola, no more Smitty.

Yeah that is a valid conclusion. The modern NFL is close to flag football. I can’t prove another assumption I have so I will not say it.

I must point out that Bryce plays in an era where they can’t touch him basically. His receivers, same thing. Draw your own conclusions.

What I was saying… if there is a GWD stat there needs to be a GLD stat.

Not rent free by any means.

Hell I agetting so old I don’t remember what the ‘06 season was. I remember doing great in the playoffs in ‘05 until we had no one but Smitty left standing in Seattle. Was it Hoover or Goings we were down to and early in the game they took him out too.

See what I mean?

Wow I had forgotten. Not that game, but the sequence. The thing about Peppers and what I thought was JR dictating to Hurney to tag him etc.. I remember thinking that had to be at the bottom of his restructure What I seem to remember is Jake had a contract, and it got reworked to the real bad point. Hell it isn’t important though I got got some 20 yard deep balls to argue about….

The snaps… how could they consider going back to that?

I don’t remember much Jake animosity until he had the arm problem and Hurney had given him the big money. I forget the sequence I think the arm was post contract. But this place is a magnet for irrational attachments to players. Like Weinke. Lol. Which I always thought his big extension was a direct result of the mishandling of Pepper and the tagging him killing the cap space and Jake benefitted from that need to move money around or free it up in the short term.
