My response was to your comment specifically about two of the three QBs referenced. You said they were "just ball distributors." They were not. You then said in Y2 they were... They still were not. Brady won a Superbowl and Manning was considered a generational talent. We don't need to compare BY to these guys. As to Brock Purdy, he's had a great 2.5 seasons in one of the NFLs best offenses. And still, that offense has been better with him than any backup as well as any QB before him. It'll be interesting to see how the 9ers handle him. If your point is that the greatest of all time aren't the greatest of all time in their first couple seasons, you can just say that without denigrating some of the best QBs to ever play... -
I think XL is going to be just fine. His mistakes have stuck out a lot more because they've been in clutch situations. If a few plays go a different way he's at least over 500 yds receiving and 5 TDs, that's not bad at all for a rookie. -
Look at our WR situation from the other side. Who are you going to put your better CBs on? Johnson and Theilen went out early---XL had 138 yards in the first three games on 12 catches. Yardage-wise, that is over 30% of his total for the season. 12 catches is nearly 30% of his catches for the season. When these players went out--Johnson, AT, Mingo, etc. it left XL facing the best corners of the opposition for many games. He is raw--we knew that when we drafted him. You can't throw a raw WR at the best CBs in the NFL and expect instant success. If he spent the season facing the second or even third best CBs on each team, he'd probably have better stats. Legette is still thinking out there, in my view. When the light comes on, he will be good. ------------------------------------------------ Hearing that there is noise to play Velus Jones over the next two games. We will see if they do.
