How the fuck did you have high hopes for AR. He has never been a good QB.
Regarding Deshaun Watson I've just been assuming the OL hates him for being a sexual predator towards women and is hoping after one of these sacks he leaves in an ambulance and never comes back…at least, that's what I'm hoping every time he's hit as a Cleveland fan. Actually that brings up a question…does he still give us dead cap space if he's actually dead? Anyone know how NFL contracts work regarding this?
Did I miss Bo Nix?
Purdy is the guy yeah lot of guys throwing under 300 yds & many ints.
Nah you aren’t overthinking it. I knew Watson would be #1 on this list. Easiest thing to call ever.
Dogshit passer and human being.
Jayden Daniels is better than Caleb Williams in the same way CJ Stroud is better than Bryce Young. Bears should've stuck with Justin Fields, traded the #1 pick for a windfall of draft compensation, then built an incredible team around Fields, who is 3-0 in Pitt and laughing at his former masters in Chicago.
5:28 I don’t think removing one game to make DJ look better is the right way to look at it. By that logic, remove 2/4 games. Then remove 3/5 if he continues to be terrible. That’s ridiculous.
No – he should be graded out of 100% like everybody else. If we’re going to remove on game, then is he 100% legit if we’re counting 66 or 75% of his games? Sure. But who counts like that?
I think they know they're in a situation where they're heavily invested in Young just from the draft piucks trade to get him. They say him at just week 2 so he can use this season to sit behind a veteran QB like he should have done his rookie season. So they put him out there to see if he could handle it, he couldn't, so they're sitting him behind a veteran QB like every other young QB that's succeeded. Peterson isn't stupid and it's VERY OBVIOUS that trotting a QB out his rookie season is a recipe for disaster. CJ Stroud is a very very very rare anamoly.
They shouldn't be called the bears, they should change the helmet and call them the donkeys.
The Chicago donkey inhalers.
if the bears had taken mahomes he would have sucked and probably would have been out of the nfl by now. the qb gets a lot of credit/blame but really the coaching and team have WAY more to do with the results than the qb's talent.
The Jacksonville overpaids.
Jayden Daniels has a Teddy Bridgewater feel. Great talent but soooo skinny. I don't think he'll last.
to be fair, Trevor Lawrence is suffering from The Terrible Towel Curse.
Daniel Jones and Trevor Lawrence also have the same record in the playoffs, 1-1 😭🙏
Should’ve talked about Bo Nix
Enjoy Tua
Miami
Levis lookin a little Mahomey out there
As a Gators and Colts fan I’m not panicking yet about AR yet Coming out of University of Florida that early I had my concerns because we all knew he wasn’t ready for the nfl at all. The main reason why I’m still not panicking is that his ac joint injury basically wiped any potential progression he could have had as a rookie. He also needs to slow down and take whatever the Defense gives him
Being a Quarterback in the NFL is super tough. You get a lot of the blame, but people don’t see what is going on behind closed doors that merges into performance.
Just watching Chicagos offensive line alone tells me that Caleb has either left the wrong impression on his team and/or organization or he hasn’t take care of the people that will take care of him.
Because I think at times his line doesn’t even give him any effort to protect him. He doesn’t get much time to throw and gets sacked and hurried a lot. That is not a recipe for success for any quarterback and before long his confidence will be deflated and he’ll be off the roster in 2-3 seasons.
The 2022 performance against the Chargers was more of an indictment on Brandon Staley than it was a good performance for T Law. He’s been mid to downright bad for most of his career with a few elite/teasing moments to keep fans roped in.
After the Cowboys vs. Giants game, it’s clear that Daniel Jones isn’t the issue. That offensive line is just terrible. 281 yards in a loss where Dak had less yards on 2 TD’s is all you needed to see.
Enjoy the ride? Joe Flacco deserves to end his career on the field.
Naw Daniel Jones is horrible like he’s so terrible
Andy Dalton wasn’t brought in as a starter. Big difference between Zack Wilson and Aaron Rodgers situation.
where is bo nix? like ik he looked good last week but id like to know what you think about him.
So no Bo Nix..
How is fields not included. Need someone to tell me how to feel about him. PLEASE
Not Russell Wilson levels bad?? At least the Broncos traded for a weirdo QB and not a WEIRDO QB
Levis is basically just Anthony Richardson but with less draft capital invested
Jalen Hurts
How are the Dolphins not on this list? QB panic is pretty much their game plan for the rest of the season.
NFL teams thinking Bama is a QB factory under Nick Saban has been the greatest fleece. Young and injury prone Tua is the antithesis of this. So glad Jalen Hurts got out when he did. It going to be interesting what Jalen Milroe can do vs Georgia.
As a colts fan, I scream every play. Sometimes good scream, but a lot of bad so far. But thrilling nevertheless!
joe burrow is trash andy dalton is the best wtf did bengals pay burrow early guy is garbage injury prone
