Saturday Week 16 Games Thread

[Mr. Scot]

Bill Walsh's 49er teams used to drive people batsh-t crazy because they never looked especially dangerous.

You didn't necessarily see a whole lot of big, flashy plays. It was just three yards here, four yards there, and then suddenly before you knew it there at your ten yard line, knocking on the door.

Efficiency might not be the most exciting thing in the world, but the Niners and the Patriots have shown it can be extremely effective.

Granted, he's still young. But even with that said, I wouldn't argue that his accuracy needs work.

Probably a lot of work.

It's why I didn't like him coming g out of college. Sub-60% college QBs very rarely translate to the NFL.

 

[Mr. Scot]

Plays like that last one are why I don't give a damn about players having "cannon arms".

When you're an NFL quarterback, being able to throw it a mile or throw it a hundred miles an hour doesn't mean that much. You have to be able to throw it to a specific spot. If you can't, how hard and how far you throw it doesn't mean jack.

[Mr. Scot]

Of course, as soon as I post that, he throws a long touchdown on the next play 

[LinvilleGorge]

Now that was a great throw. Despite doing virtually nothing all half long it looks like this may go into half tied.

[Mr. Scot]

I love when offensive linemen catch a touchdown pass 

[LinvilleGorge]

Awesome play call.

Favre used to be like that when he was young.

That's the essence of a big-play offense I guess. You can fail or be average for seven plays in a row but then go for it all on one.

2 really good coaches and staffs going at it in Foxborough......

I'm telling you, Josh Allen is much better on drives he can scramble.  All mental I imagine, but really seems that way

If a combination of Nick Caserio and Josh McDaniels could bring that kind of thing to Carolina...

It can’t. And it’s not worth trying to find out for sure, we’ve seen this story many times already.

That's not unusual for a mobile or dual-threat quarterbacks.

Gotta use the tools you have. Cam was the same way, even at his absolutely best. Always seemed like he needed a couple of runs to really settle in and then he was good to go. Allen is still really rough as a passer though. Rougher than Cam ever was to be honest.

There's no way to know that.

It's not my top choice but if that's what we get, I'll hope for the best.
