Its been done to death and hardly ever works regardless of "the system", some coach comes out of college thinking his "system" is going to change the league and it always falls flat. What works in College does not work in the NFL. And Matt Canadas resume as a OC in college says that it probably didn't work well in college either. Canada is not the answer.
We have not put any serious resources into the center position in a while. Don't know what's going on but its been some really bad decisions at who has played the position since Pouncey retired. The line starts there and if the center is not good then its hard to expect the rest of the line to be good regardless of who else is on it.
The thing is no system works if you don't win the battle at the LOS. SF punched us in the mouth on both sides of the ball yesterday.
I'm not writing him off either. But I've definitely lowered my level of optimism. I really just don't think he's going to be the guy. Sadly, it might take three years to move off him. He probably good enough to get us to 9-8, which is good enough for the organization lately. I'm rarely this negative, but yesterday took the wind out my my sails. It wasn't that we lost, but how we lost. I think we got our hopes up playing bad competition and then third stringers in preseason.
They used to do scrimmages with the Redskins. I went to one at Frostburg State.
You are full of ****. You constantly talk Kenny down and up every other QB not named Pickett. You are just exactly like cooch throw both sides of the coin out so you can be right somewhere long the line.
FF gives three years to judge quarterbacks. Unless of course it's Mason Rudolph. Who, despite being in his sixth NFL season and second as a third-stringer, apparently hasn't had enough time in the league to be adequately evaluated.
You know, long before Matt Canada, I remember Ben making audibles. All that activity at the line, pointing, "Blue 52," the announcers saying "He's changing the play...", you are getting excited because you think Ben saw something, and then pfft. Not much. My friends and I would laugh at that over the years. Ben was a great QB, but he wasn't Captain Audible or something.
Then you can put me in the third camp. The coaches and the QB are the problem.
I'm willing to give the QB time. Maybe he is following the pattern of most QBs ultimately do, as it takes time. Ben was an exception to that, for example. Burrow, too. I know there have been others. However, most take time. Ben and Burrow also had/have infinitely better coaching.
How long did it take Dobbs to get a chance somewhere? You never know.
Yes, Dobbs was really impressive with that 4.4 YPA yesterday. 132 yards on 30 attempts.
If someone has had at least a full season of games maybe.
I'd be willing to bet a substantial amount that the Cardinals will turn to fifth-round draft pick Clayton Tune as their starter sooner than later. Then we can close the book on Josh Dobbs, and you can find some other clandestine way to support Mason Rudolph.
Just saying I don’t care how long any player has been in the league you never know. Who would have thought Tommie Maddox had a season like that in him. Kurt Warner others. Not saying Mason or particularly Dobbs will make it, we just can’t say until they get a shot. Honestly I am shocked Dobbs ever got a shot. Great guy. Talented physically but as smart as he is he seemed too slow processing under pressure. The whole way back to UT, he sucked in the 4th quarter. Give Mason Dobbs legs and he would have been something. I like Mason but only in a system where he can be a true pocket passer with great protection. He is a real throwback.
Multiple times in 2022?
