[Real fan 02]

Imagine what he could do if we kept Bailey Zappe

Oh boy LOL.. the Bailey Jones era was spectacular

I have gone through this thread several time and I don't see any " subsequent post."

previous post in response to realfan2 "We can agree to disagree. I'm referring to improving pre and post snap recognition, and please take the short gain instead of the sack. I still think he is maybe the best long passer in the game but you can't live with that. Improve those areas and you have TB2 with a better long ball. We can agree on the OL in the playoffs. I still blame the coaches."

Once again I will refer you to the lengthy clip of Vrabel discussing Maye's progressions. According to his coach Maye is following the progressions MacDaniels gives him. So if you have a problem with that it's actually with MacDaniels, not Maye. . And they didn't use anyone as the Welker/Edelman slot, Diggs was in the slot and never ran those routes,

I will keep an open mind and hope you are 100% right.

Jettish foolishness comes in many guises, The essence is to act on the basis of delusions as to where your team actually is, what you team's actually needs are. In that respect, the AJB deal certainly qualifies. The Butt Fumble is, I'll admit, somewhat of a special case in which the quarterback did not know where his lineman's ass was or struggled to distinguish it from his own elbow perhaps.

I would say that form of delusion was clear when they brought Aaron Rodgers on board. They really weren't one QB1 away from being good. The fact that he got injured in Game 1 because his OL sucked is strong evidence of that. The fact he did no better in Year 2 also supports that.

Another clear data set is that they really didn't put the right coaches and players around Sam Darnold, and we see that now that he won at both MIN and SEA once he had good coaching and good players around him.

I wasn't a fan of the AJB deal, but IMO we did not have a true WR1 last season with Diggs/Boutte/Hollins et al. We had a bunch of good but not great WRs. AJB's numbers alone show you that he's in a different category, even with Hurts throwing him the ball. With Maye throwing and Josh coaching, there's a lot more upside to be had, IMO. Given the main costs are draft capital and salary cap, it isn't the greatest move when it comes to team building, but if he puts in two or more top-15 WR1-caliber seasons then IMO it's a win for us.
