The thing with Lamar Jackson is that they've used him so many times in other formations, that he probably hasn't gotten the reps in practice because they're too concerned with designing plays for him.

He was also sick this week. I think thats why RG3 got reps.

Thought you might enjoy.

Luck has been really solid when you look at what he has around him. Not much of an OL (although better than they have been in the past), average RB's, receivers are pretty "meh."

I saw him in person a few weeks ago and my eyes were opened. I always thought he was a pretty good QB, but I came away from that game thinking he might be top 5 right now. I don't think there's a QB in the league that's more responsible for his offense's success right now, or a QB in the league right now that's doing more with less.

He looked pretty rough early but has turned it around.

That's been the case from day 1, this is just what he looks like with an OL and competent coaching/management.

Luck's honestly incredible.

Schefter reaching for stories this morning.

Schefter reaching for stories this morning.

A few days ago, Dorsey made a point to say he wants to interview a woman. He’s not entirely making it up.

If it was any other team it'd be one thing, but it's the Browns. Nothing surprises me with that dopey organization.

 

[Voight]

Eagles 4-6.... people thought it was crazy to suggest last year was a one-off.

I am all for giving women opportunities in sports, and I am sure she is qualified to be an executive on a team, but head coach?

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Kaep has more evidence for his collusion case.

It's pure clickbait by Schefter. As you said, role on the team - fine. Head coach, obviously not.

How so?

He hasn't played football in nearly 2 years

 

[Say Hey Kid]

The Saints have more points in 3 games than the Bills have all year.

Over the last 8 games the Bucs -25 turnovers is the worst since the 61-62 Browns.

Look at the names they brought in...not that I care much about this story but clearly worse QB's are getting looks.

They signed Sanchez a few minutes ago.

The Saints have almost as many points for (378) as the Bills have points for + points against (388).

I think all of these guys, despite how bad they are were in a training camp this August. Barkley got signed and played for buffalo within 2 weeks was with Cincy for camp.

We are finishing week 11 tonight.

No one you sign now is going to change the fortunes of your season. If Washington needs someone else after McCoy, then their season is done. Not sure what you expect Kaepernick to come in and do having not taken a snap and had DL rushing him in 2 years. He’s worth a tryout, to see where he is.

Does it make sense to design their offence around Kaepernicks abilities with 5 games left?

 

[Voight]

The replies were Golden - like this one

It doesn’t. If he ever gets on the field again he’ll need a full off season of OTA, camp and preseason.

As for Sanchez, he’s been around long enough that there are coaches who had him on their roster. Seems like that is the deciding factor when teams look for a veteran QB off the street. Who has any experience with the current offensive coaching staff.
