He barely throws past the LOS let alone downfield that much. Do you see the YAC his receivers go out there and get for him? It helps to have receivers capable of actually running routes and getting open, along with an OC who knows how to design plays.

Yep but those same recievers also lead the league in drop passes. And I’m not sure I’d call Sark great at designing plays to get guys open. And barely throws past the LOS?

Well at least they aren't practice squad WR's.

Who said he was great?

I mean it should be common sense to not run plays that place multiple receivers in the same area. If an OC is capable of knowing better than that, unfortunately they are an upgrade over what we have.

The Falcons offense is predicated on shorter passes for YAC and occasionally chucking it up to Julio. Also helps they have RB's that can get more than 3 yards a carry.

Said it last week....Norwell is as good as gone now that DG is in the league again...and they need O Line help in the worst way.

Why would DG get him given he tries to go cheap skate on everyone. Hardly sound as if he would pay big bucks for anyone.They have 22 million in cap space counting their first 51 players. Not much unless they are going to be cutting some big name players.

And how does PFF knows which were his fault? Sounds subjective

I would guess some are passes that bounce off of receivers hands.  In the instance of a receiver running the wrong route that could possible be subjective but over the course of entire season I would guess that would pretty much even out among QBs.  That is the positive of PFF, even if they are grading something subjectively, it is in theory, applied the same to everyone.

Lets be honest, fans tend to think their players are either better or worse then they really are.  People like to complain about PFF's grading when their fandom is involved but if you remove that from the equation their rankings tend to follow conventional wisdom.  Outside of our players on the list I would say most of the other choices make sense to a lot of players.

Stah, KK, Norwell, Williams, Turna

 

As a Panthers fan I am depressed as the architect of big men making you compete is now having cold cuts in NY

We're back to Eric Shelton, Jimmy Clausen, Colbert, Jarrett, Mclain, Fua, Eric Norwood, Everette Brown, Sherrod Martin, Corey Irvin, Charles Godfrey, Nate Salley days again

That list made me throw up in my mouth a little.

He was good at getting hog mollies, it's literally everything else he struggled at.

    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
