Bye Week Running Commentary

Discuss.


What do you like? What do you hate? Does Bryce Young's improvement mean anything, or will the bald hobgoblin always fuck things up anyway?

 

I do think it's funny how Bryce Young is settling into a groove while Stroud is in a slump, Richardson is fighting off Joe Flacco, and Caleb Williams looks like 2023 Bryce Young.


So much of this bullshit is random and ridiculous.

 

Bryce groove is still kinda uneven and needs a lot of help though. It feels like we're getting ready to do a daniel Jones thing after having a quick trigger with teddy/darnold/baker... and the team still is hilariously lopsided in resources. It can work and maybe Bryce can grow into a top 15 ish qb but they'll need to hit on late picks and udfas at one hell of a rate to keep a competitive defense- the manning colts did this for example but peyton was also breaking TD records while it happened.


Enough pessimism about the panthers

I hope the jets rally for another rodgers playoff choke because his January downturns might finally get press if it happens in NY

I really thought pederson would stabilize Jacksonville but they seem to be falling apart everywhere

Darnold might be the new Wentz

Stafford advertises for a will service (Pro tip use a real local lawyer) and it doesn't seem weird to anyone else?

 

I think Young has an Alex Smith-ian career. I also think that type of QB might be in vogue again. Coaches are sick of Mega Chad Thundercock QBs turning the ball over.



Pederson shouldn't have taken that job. I think he's a fine coach, but Baalke is a disaster and the Khan's are weird AF. He might have fucked himself into career OC territory from now on.



The Jets are done. The defense turning to shit isn't getting enough press. Even if the offense clicks - which it won't because the coaching staff is ridiculous - they can't stop anyone now.




Darnold is just the new Darnold. I became a huge fan of him as a person after the way he handled himself in Carolina, but he's just not a good quarterback, and never will be.




I knew Stafford and the Rams were fucked after his wife outed him as a cuckold over the summer. Advertising for a Will service looks like a cry for help in that context.

 

Rhule is 1-9 in one score games at Nebraska

He really was a product of Phil snow wasn't he?

 

Remaining Panther schedule appears to be a bit difficult for the most part

 

Guaranteed not to lose this weekend, but after that....

 

Dallas is a good win opportunity. Might get one week 18 against Atlanta's backups. Tampa is starting to fall apart and we get them twice.


I'll say they pick up two from those four and finish 5-12.
