Football General Talk

Man, Purdy could only dream you were his GM. Maybe, they thought highly of Lance at one point.

I see him more like Russell Wilson, a decent quarterback on a really good team. I will say he doesn't seem to have Russell's overestimation of his share of the team's success.

As a Vikings fan, this win was sweet. Taking two from the Packers would nearly make for a great season, likely they will split thou.

I can enthusiastically support that last paragraph.

Stroud is really good and smart.

Absolutely. His lack of interceptions is incredible.

Sort of like Cousins a couple of years ago. Interceptions do seem to come and go with high variance. But he looked good in his last game for sure.

Bryce Young could go down as the worst draft pick ever. The first QB selected #1 overall to be benched in his second year since 1967. His record as starting QB is 2-16.

Panthers bench Young, to start Dalton vs. Raiders

Veteran Andy Dalton is replacing Bryce Young as the starting quarterback for the Panthers after the team's 0-2 start, coach Dave Canales said Monday.

QB's that I think are better, in no particular order

Mahomes
Burrows
Allen
Herbert
Rogers (damn I hate giving him anything)
Lawrence
Stroud
Jackson
Stafford
Cousins
Mayfield
Prescott (barely makes the list)
Tagovailoa (needs to retire)

Maybe Purdy is the best of what's left.

Mahomes= winner
Allen/ Herbert= gritty and good
Burrows= smooth and good
Stafford=damn good/ winner
Jackson= damn good/ loser
Purdy= good, but not enough good
The rest, meh.

That would be a fun list to make - but given the compensation angle, no doubt JaMarcus Russel was a worse pick.

Why was the Falcon’s game winning TD celebration a flag ?

Was it because he acted like he was SHOOTING down an Eagle from the sky ?

No shooting imaginary guns ?

I asked my buddy the same thing. His reply, “guns are bad”

I was wondering also. Is the bow and arrow thing off limits too?

Heck of a final drive. May say more about Eagle defensive play calling than Falcon play calling, however.

While I was cheering for the Falcons, because of the Troy Andersen angle, the Eagles blew that game.

They declined a field goal chance early in the game and went for a fourth and short. They came up short. I understand being aggressive, but the old saw... a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, exists for a reason.

It was BONEHEADED to throw on that third down play. Taking time off the clock was as important as the first down was.

Their defensive scheme on the final drive was also a gift to the Falcons.

I thought Andersen played fairly well. He made some nice plays, while getting walled off on a few.

KIRK COUSINS BABY. Right Mr. Gila Happens?

This is fun the young qb has one game where he looked flustered against a notoriously tuff defensive scheme and suddenly he's worse than Tua, Lawrence, Prescott and Mayfield.
Look at some of the wost games those guys have played. Games where they were THE reason their team lost.

Purdy hasnt ever been the reason the 49ers lost he just didn't carry the team to a win.

Vikings will be ahead by so much they will rest CMC again. ha ha

@SwaggyD called the Darnold revenge game.

Folks have got to get a grip - it’s a game for god’s sake.
