Hairston with 23 minutes, and another atrocious shooting percentage.

Meanwhile, Frank rides the bench.

Clifford better not last the season if this poo continues.

I agree on Clifford and Frank needing minutes.  And while I agree that Pj's shooting has been atrocious thus far, to his credit, he is most likely playing the best defense of anyone on the team. 

I just really am surprised with how bad his shooting has been though because he never seemed like a volume shooter to me through college, he seemed very efficient...  But again, Idk how much I can put on him versus trying to get his before he randomly gets taken out again thanks to Cliff's no rhyme or reason rotations.  Not absolving PJ of what he's done thus far, but I think everything with this team is very cyclical,and to be honest, shot selection and shooting overall is worse than I thought it would be. 

But seriously, I know what talent and ability looks like, and this team has enough that they should not be 0-3 right now.  Clifford got a pass the first season because Al played out of his mind, but his weaknesses have shown up again and again.  Furthermore, for him to be a "defensive-minded" coach, I just can't understand how his teams consistently blow their assignments and leave shooters wide open...   It is insane.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think PJ is our only problem obviously.

I don't know if there is a disconnect between Clifford, and Cho, but we didn't draft Kaminsky with the experience he brings to the table to just let him rot on the sideline. That is horseshit to put it mildly.

On another note, a problem that has plagued us for a long time now with Clifford is still happening though, a clear inability to close games.

PJ has been terrible in every aspect these three games. Still don't understand why he is getting minutes over Lamb

I will admit that I haven't seen all 48 minutes of each game, but IMO PJ has played well defensively from what I have seen. Right now though, we need offense, so I agree that Lamb should be getting those minutes. 

Perhaps Lamb is still getting his wind back?

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Did we take over a thread about who you'd take #1 by having a debate on who you'd take #1? Basically you still don't want to answer my question, probably because your answer would be either T-Mac like myself, or Hunter, which taking a CB #1 overall is even crazier on the surface than what you're saying I'm stupid for in wanting a WR there. As I've said before, it's a season without a traditional clear top pick(s).  It would be great if we could trade back if we got #1, but if not, there's nothing wrong with taking a truly elite WR and build out our roster correctly for once instead of always trying to find the quick fix and it backfiring.

      I just thought of an interesting comparison for what I'm arguing with taking T-Mac and how to build up to hopefully being a contender. The mid 2000's Arizona Cardinals In 2003 they took Anquan Boldin early in the 2nd, kinda a decent comp for Legette with style of play and being more of an elite #2 than a true outside #1 (they also took a WR in the 1st too who didn't pan out). In 2004 they took Larry Fitzgerald #3 overall, the true outside #1. Their QB's at the time, Jeff Blake and Josh McCown The QB they passed on to take Fizgerald, Philip Rivers. They were in the Super Bowl a few years later after they found their QB in Warner to slot into an already built out roster of elite weapons. Cam, you asked how it would look if we passed on a QB who pans out for a WR, well, do you think the Cardinals regret taking Fitz over Rivers?  I highly doubt it. Our roster is more than one offseason away from contending.  I'm not looking for the quick fix because there isn't one with the state of this franchise at the moment, I'm looking to contend for a decade. I don't think a QB in this draft class is good enough to take 1st overall with everything else we still need.  My next preference would be an elite pass rusher, but again, I don't see one of them in this draft either. My personal bias aside, I very honestly think T-Mac is the most can't miss offensive prospect in this draft (Hunter would be that on defense).  He is the WR we've been trying to get since we lost Smitty.   Brooks, T-Mac, Legette, Coker/FA, Sanders would have the potential to be one of the best offensive weapon sets in the NFL.  Sure, hopefully we could hit on a superstar QB in the next draft, but even if not, if those guys pan out, with them all are in their prime together, we wouldn't need a Mahomes or Allen to contend, we'd only need to find our Jared Goff. and spend all our FA money the next couple offseason on Defense.

      Chase Daniels breaks down Bryce vs DEN

      By R0CKnR0LLA · Posted

      Competent QBs can read defenses presnap, see where their best matchups are and already know where they're going with the ball. Then have good footwork with fast fundamentally sound dropbacks. See the field well and decisive with their decisions on where to go with the ball. And an NFL caliber arm, get the ball out quickly and deliver it with velocity. Bryce can do none of these things.
