Kind of a silly stat because I'd argue they played three QBs with above average or elite athleticism and escapability last year: Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen and Justin Fields and they couldn't contain those guys at all. A sack on a scramble by Colt McCoy isn't an indication of how they'd perform...

It doesn't tell you anything about how aggressive a team is in getting a specific player, but it might tell you about how aggressive a team is in acquiring talent in the short term. Converting money into a signing bonus puts a financial burden on the owner while clearing present cap space for...

The Titans haven't been competitive for 6+ years, the Ravens have a top tier QB in Lamar Jackson and also haven't been competitive for 6+ years considering they sink whenever he's injured and the 49ers have also been up and down during that timeframe (6-10 in 2017, 4-12 in 2018, 13-3 in 2019...

Can anyone give out some examples of financially responsible teams in the salary cap era that managed to remain competitive long term (say, 6+ years) without a top tier QB in place? Because it seems to me having Favre, Brady, Manning, Rodgers, Brees, Mahomes, Roethlisberger gives you a whole lot...

It doesn't matter if Grier is better (he could be), you don't grab a QB to be your backup with no reps in your system this close to the season, so it's a moot point.

Not decision making either, he just got jittery in the pocket last year. Didn't trust the protection, wasn't willing to stand in there to take a lick. Happened to Favre in his last year with the Vikings as well. You start speeding up your process, you go to the checkdown earlier, you pass on...

I thought Zappe looked awful, just holding the ball way too long, indecisive in the pocket, happy feet, just a far cry from the see it, throw it player he was when getting playing time last year, which may have a lot to do with an opened up playbook and more responsibilities in terms of...

When has his ability to complete check downs consistently ever been in doubt? His short accuracy is great.

To what end?

The last thing I want to read, to be honest. Coming off the heels of a preseason game that was already screen/check down city. It's practice, test some windows.

I really love the context of plays that would have likely been sacks in real game action. QBs have to train their internal clock at this time of the year because it's just too easy to not be reactive without the threat of getting walloped.

Oh, they'll have to suffice, I just think they'd be better off had they tried to develop the nex James White a couple of years ago. Pierre Strong was never that guy in college.

Rhamondre had the 5th lowest yards per target in football last year and had Zeke qualified he would have had the lowest yards per target in football. I don't think defenses are scared of either of those guys in the passing game. Both have solid hands and Zeke is great at pass pro, but that's...

You'd think Ezekiel Elliott were prime Barry Sanders the way the beat is focusing on him today.

They knew he was going to be a good receiver so much they immediately signed Amendola for that role after Welker walked and even after Edelman had a breakout 2013 they let him hit FA and only brought him back after he took a visit with the 49ers and didn't get any big money offers. He forced the...

Took Edelman until his second contract to be seen as a top option in the Patriots passing game, though. In his first four seasons he averaged 178 yards per year, he hung on due to his punt return skills more than anything.

Really don't get the "boundary corner Marcus Jones" experiment, especially considering how good Jonathan Jones looked on the outside last year.

They haven't had any 1v1s as of yet, so it's expected receivers would shine in that scenario. Would be incredibly concerning if they couldn't separate on those drills.

I wonder if he's also having his own little hold-in, similar to Judon.

That's precisely my point.
