Not sure--good question. I can't watch it again. Good questions

I noticed the miscommunication when the play happened. What we don't know is how late in the play clock we were--for some Reason, Bryce likes to take it down. I think we should get to the LOS and set with over 5 seconds, giving you time to check out of this or that. When you are struggling to beat the clock--the defense knows it. But Bryce could clearly see the advantage out wide and the disadvantage at the LOS. Why did professionals not execute this play for a big gain?

In fairness to Ickey and Moton, they attacked on the edge more than up the middle--even their blitzes were C gap to sideline

So do I. LSU, Oregon (another shorty, but more like Tua--left handed), PSU, Bama, Ole Miss, Texas, Colorado, UGa--and I am missing a few--all could step up this year. Right now? I have 3 first round locks (unless something changes) and I think we could have five or six.

Canales: Remember, 2.7 seconds, Bryce! Bryce: OK coach!! Canales: Now after you finish your breakfast, you get in there and make us all proud!

Dart just set a SEC record for 24 straight completions and his qb rating is off the charts (they have not played anyone MTSU and Furman)--has always been mobile enough and has always completed over 60%--I think college prospects are considered accurate around 70%, fwiw). His two games, however, are eye opening. 47 completions in 54 attempts. Nearly 400 yards per game. Great start. While I see the top 3 QBs as Ewers, Beck, and maybe Sanders (I have reasons for some red flags with Sanders), I see a second wave of QBs who could rise into the first round and even the best QB conversation. Any of these four could easily rise, if not all of them: Milroe (ALA) Mussmeier (LSU) and Allar (Penn St.) The quality of the program can elevate a QB and if you play for Georgia or Alabama, that should factor in as a negative. Ole Miss is ranked pretty high, so I will watch Dart closely against equal or better opponents. He could be the real deal, however, having played at USC and then three years under Kiffin. Corral was under Kiffin too, so I wonder if he is able to get the most out of talent that was not considered NFL caliber-but every situation is different.

People, I am not sure we have to worry about tanking. I do not think we can win a game with this situation. When a second year, #1 overall draft pick explains that it was his job to recognize blitzes and check out or "throw the ball away," I get concerned. First, your life is football--how did you not realize this before Sunday? Second, it happened 4 times. "Fool me once...: and third, I get the feeling that he is playing the victim to a degree. Where is the anger? The fire? The drive? It is almost as if he is entitled and we are fully invested in our newly adopted child.

Bryce's first pass was season ending.

The owner has 1 job---scratch that--the owner has 0 jobs, unless staying out of the way is considered a job. Since most of you consider me that bright ray of sunshine that illuminates the darkest of days, I feel the need to make this statement: Brown will be fresh for 2025. In 2025, hopefully we will have a qb in place and can start the process. Having said that, Billionaires have the God Complex--so he was pout and have a temper tantrum and then fire people.

That is a factor. I would then look at his processing speed, leadership, mechanics, etc. Bama covered Bryce's deficiencies--like they did Tua and Hurts. Does that mean they are not good QBs? No, but it means that they are not elite as suggested by the college play. You could say the same about Texas (they had a load of talent last season, but their impressive win vs. Michigan suggests that Ewers is the real deal. Colorado (Sanders) could be a situation that reveals a good QB on a bad team. However, during the Nebraska game, they showed Sanders' waist towel and it had a gold dollar sign on the towel. Nah. Not when your teammates are not getting endorsement deals. Not when you are making nearly $5m in college which is more than several starting NFL QBs...Nope. hard pass. You won 4 games last season. Your daddy brought in 42 players to fill gaps and needs. Nebraska embarrassed you. Nope--hard pass. And when the protection broke down, Sanders struggled.

I really like Sanders when he has the time, but vs. Nebraska, he looked like Bryce when things broke down. Ewers is my top QB right now, and it was his game against Michigan that sold me---Before? He was my third choice. He is smart, mentally tough, and a competitor with QB skills. I have not seen enough Beck to make an informed opinion, but Georgia has had some good college QBs go to the NFL and become average to below average. Same with Bama, although they do have 3 starting QBs in the NFL (if you count Philly). Which brings me to Milroe. He will probably be a riser if he plays well. First round ability. The QB that makes me say, "Hmmmm" is Penn State's Allar. He would be great in a pro style offense, and our WRs seem to fit that mold, as does the OL. He has some basic mechanical issues, but Canales can fix that. Watch his stock this year.

You missed Shy Tuttle---I saw him getting washed down the line of scrimmage like a leaf in a gutter during a storm. Hard to watch. The team seemed to quit early, but your new and improved QB threw a pick to open each half. Bryce is mentally weak and he is far from a leader--how can you lead when you are the reason your team is down by 17 points before fans' seats are warm? I hate it for Bryce, but he needed a strong outing to shut the doubters up. 2.7 seconds? Works during scrimmages but forgotten during games. Folks, he had open WRs--he is just afraid of throwing a pick. He is not anticipating, he is reacting. When he sees the DB in blitz position, he needs to call a hot route. Problem? He is so slow--as if he is deliberately procrastinating--and when the ball is snapped, he is racing to beat the play clock. When he returned from his spring break this summer, I expected to see muscle tone and hear that he spent 12 hours per day working out, watching film, perfecting his technique, and meeting with a monk atop a mountain in the Alps. I heard nothing about his offseason regimen. It caused concern, but I was optimistic. I am tired of watching him panic, I am tired of the glossy-eyed child look on the sideline as if he looked under his bed and saw a real monster, and I am tired of his lack of fire. He is like a spoiled rich kid whose father lost his job and he has to attend public school. Rant over.

It was Fuller who got sucked to the other side because their best wr was there--preseason game mistake. i am embarrassed

i could see sanders and dad doing it--small market, bad team...

It was bridgewater, it was Darnold. It was Baker, It is now Bryce. Fitterer gutted this program with bad decisions and bad contracts. To get Bryce, we traded our #1 WR and #1 pick. Tepper has been overseeing this the entire time. Bryce had time today--he was scrambling because he was mentally soft ans scared to make a play...He did not pick up blitzes. He does not anticipate WRs before they are open. He had at least 10 unforced errors. Our ILBs are not good--the were reactive and did not stop runners in the hole. Clowney is a front runner. He plays hard in contract years and when he is on a good team. Leota was our best OLB today. Our safeties were slow to react and did not cover their TEs effectively. Our special teams sucked Sanders sucks Clock/game management sucked Bright spots? Leota did not suck. Mike jackson played hard. XL caught 3 balls and was probably the leading WR.

I think he did not want to show Bryce up---strange if true

Bryce is mentally weak. Scared to throw a pick. By the way, Darnold had a good game today

Bryce just telegraphed to XL he was throwing it to him. Patriots win vs Cincy--this is hard to watch.

That completion to moore was under 2.7 seconds. Funny, you can see Bryce's body "jump" when he sees an open receiver. He should be anticipating them getting open. Thielen would not even look at him on the sideline. Furthermore--not picking up blitzes is bad. WRs AND QB need to go hot route. Boone allowed the pun to be blocked--this is what happens when you add players during the week. Oh look, Bryce is playing well now--throwing it early--game already decided.

What happened to 2.7 seconds? Bryce is doing the same crap he did last year. mentally weak

At this rate, we lose 68-0. You ain't putting 70 on us, New Orleans. Suck it! Seriously, I want to see Bryce settle down and pull us back in it.

His completion rate just jumped 25%. Take that, N'awlins

We are the main course at a Saints pep rally

I feel like I am rooting for the Shamrocks to beat the Globetrotters.

He should be fired up---instead, he is pissing his pants. I guess I have seen enough--he has not completed a pass, has he? (to Saints does not count)
