I agree.  I want Caleb to go to a place where he can win.  I think Fields is fine, I think it is that crap staff.    

2 top picks is great....but what if they could trade those to get 4-5 picks in rounds 2-3.  
Give me the 4 or 5.  Better odds of getting 2 impact players than 2 top picks, especially with their GM.

Fields is not fine...

Could be you are right.  However, it could be the garbage coaching.  He's made some great plays and runs like a champ.  I bet Kyle Shannahan could make him a star.  

I used to think that of Daniel Jones and Zach Wilson and before that Sanchez...  Well if Geno Smith can do something after all these years, maybe? He is shockingly 6-4 currently.

Tough to tell what a good team or coaching can do.

Perfect tanking loss. The Lions are racking up wins vs. softies. Something like last year's Eagles.

Would've kicked a few people out of my survivor pool. That was a rough one. 

We did lose a couple dopes who got cute and picked Washington though.

Josh Dobbs as well...

Yeah but...Collingsworth was vaguely comparing him to Mahomes last night. lol

Hey did anyone notice that NBC took no commercial brakes for the last 5 minutes or so of the game last night? Even after touchdowns and the two minute warning. It was great.... like going back in time 30 years. Not sure why that happened.

LOL that's right!  I did hear an interesting comp with Dobbs from one of my favorite broadcasters, Rich Gannon.  He bounced around quite a bit until Oakland finally gave him a starting job.

Josh Dobbs has limitations.  He's great to hold you over but I can't see making him your qb of the present and future. 

In other news,  I'm now a HUGE Joe Flacco fan.

True...however that same thing was said about Gannon for the first part of his career too. I think it's a halfway decent comparison.

So nobody else noticed the lack of commercials last night? I am crazy? lol

I mean you can say that about Steve Young too.  He couldn't get off the bench in Tampa.  But I wouldn't put Dobbs in the conversation with either.  But we shall see.  You could see last night when they really brought the heat, he was lost.  I think that's the problem.

Just like he did with the similar skill setted Trey Lance.

I think that can happen when they've already aired their quota of commercials due to excess timeouts earlier in the game (challenges, injuries, whatever). There's been a couple of prime time games where I've noticed no commercial at the 2 minute warning.

Ha.  I see what you are saying and I was sort of alluding to that as a joke....although I know Fields is miles better than "throw the ball as hard as you can, no matter what" Lance

Interesting. Okay. I didn't see the first half. The end of the game was way more enjoyable without a seemingly endless stream of commercials. 

It's wild watching youtube videos of full games from the 80's and early 90's and seeing how frequently they just stuck around and talked about the game after extra points and stuff instead of shuffling off to commercial.

Jesus, there’s a Friday game this week.  The NFL continues to devalue the Sunday ticket.

This could be the worst game of the week.

So many of these prime time duds thanks to the Jets and Giants.

Shanahan's system works best with a pocket passer, the likes of which Fields (and of course Lance) are not. Purdy was an afterthought in the draft and is now an MVP candidate in Shanahan's system (largely because of the plethora of weapons) because he can sit in the pocket and go through his reads and make the right decision. Yes, there are designed bootlegs etc. as well, but just with the intent of moving the pocket.

The worst is when it goes the other way and you get a bunch of long drives.  Then you have like 80% commercial content as they catch up.
