It just seems like you use the same argument every time if a certain QB falls off. ‘The coaches screwed him over’. But if a QB you are critical of has success ie Mahomes, it is good play calling and coaching, and he’s overhyped based on “aesthetics” which is totally subjective…lol Even after Mahomes has won 3 rings you’re still hyper critical.
Actually, it was the organization. Coaching was not good for them but look at the squad that the Bears fielded since Fields got there and look at what they did for Williams. Many pundits feels like this is the best situation a #1 QB has ever been drafted to and they are not lying. And more often than not, coaching/scheming/team are major factors in success. I'm not saying that Fields is better than Williams. I'm just saying that Williams is starting with an infinitely better situation than Fields has ever had in the NFL. That's all.
I'm not critical of success. He was key in their first 2 super bowls (*cough*and refs against 49ers*cough*) but the last Super Bowl was all defense and if it wasn't for them, this would have been another loss. But again, we saw the Chiefs not score a single point in the second half of the AFCCG and still won. I knew 49ers had their work cut out for them.
Penix didn’t get the hype because he’s 24 and he didn’t win a Heisman. He also played poorly against Michigan. I’m not saying it’s fair and that Penix won’t be a good player, but he’s older than Caleb and has had injuries as well.
The best QB on the run in the league, according to a certain someone, can't even get a starting gig.
If it looks like bias, it's generally bias.
I reserve the right to change my mind, but it’s not good when you’re still in a battle with a washed Russell Wilson this late in the offseason.The best QB on the run in the league, according to a certain someone, can't even get a starting gig.
But don't let the 'eye test' fool you
Russ ain't washed; Russ is trying to be something that he isn't. Russ wanted to be seen like Brees, Manning, and Brady but that was never his skillset. I think Russ just need to go back to what worked for him and the offense should be built around that because it would benefit them both.
The guy Sean Payton paid 40 million to leave is not washed? He was great in his day at buying time and throwing nice deep passes, but he will be 36 in November. This might be his last year if he doesn’t work out in Pittsburgh.
He didn't look good this week. Either he's showing out in practice or they're just hoping. If they're just hoping then they're making a mistake by not giving starters reps to Fields.
And he is still OK at buying time and throwing a nice deep pass. That still looked great last season but he wanted to get away from that type of offense; the problem is, it never fit his skillset. Everyone saw the results but never took into account actual QB skill. I made mention of this when there was some noise about Russ coming here a few years back.
I don't think he's completely washed, but Russ is about done. He's in the twilight of his career and I'm sure he can have a solid game here and there, but he's clearly not the same QB he was 5 years ago.
He's had the same type of career as Newton. Once the legs went he was never the same.
