NFL GDT: Preseason Week 2

[Marc the Habs Fan]

I am surprised TB still has their star offensive players out there.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Bortles was a one hit wonder in college. Just like Paxton Lynch, Jake Locker, JaMarcus Russell, E.J. Manuel, Josh Freeman..careful about Trubisky Bears fans.

The Jags night gets worse...

 

[HisIceness]

That was interesting.

To be fair, Russell had all the physical tools, but was just an idiot. I saw him throw like an 85 yard Hail Mary against the Chargers once.

One year wonders should scare the hell out of teams.

Jags still have problems that extend beyond Bortles. OL isn't great, and they've got nothing at TE.

I thought Henne threw the ball well. The stats won't look great because of numerous drops, but he made every throw asked of him.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

QB is the biggest issue. Bortles can't throw.

For sure. Weird that in 2017 we might have Chad Henne to Marcedes Lewis on a team many feel is playoff-calibre.

Also, the Bucs haven't fixed their kicking situation and the Jags can't kick either.

 

[Avs_19]

Yeah, Bucs still need a kicker.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

How was Cutty?

I assume he only threw a handful of times and was out of game quick

He looked fine. 3-6 for 24 yards, but he would have had more if not for a penalty. I think the Ravens are gonna be a horrible football team.

At this point, I'm just like, why not?

Offensively yes. That defense is nasty though. They'll be in every game.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

So essentially the Ravens are going back to the Ravens of Pre-Flacco in which they have a lousy offense but good D?

Is Alex Smith still a FA? He's basically this generation's Trent Dilfer.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Alex Smith was never a FA ,, He is still with KC

Alex Smith has only played with two teams and under contract with K.C. He'd easily start for the Jags.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Baltimore's offense has always been trash with Flacco under center.

 

[PanthersPens62]

He actually had 2 big gains called back by penalties. He looked very impressive for someone who has had so little time with his new teammates. And by the way, said teammates have only had great things to say about Jay & his leadership skills so far.

 

[John Price]

It's largely been trash since 2000

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

He was the best prospect too.

IDK how. People just love measurables. And overdraft QBs. I didn't like Goff last year either, but at least he still has time to prove something. Bortles basically is what he is at this point.

That draft I had Bridgewater as my personal top QB and might have had Carr as my 2nd, don't remember. But even if I did have Bortles #2, it was close between him and Carr I didn't see him as a Top 10 pick. I do remember wanting no parts of Manziel though.

Bortles put up big fantasy numbers in 2015 because they were trailing a lot and people starting buying into the hype, but he was still throwing 2/3 INTs to go with that 400 yards and 4 TDs.

Bortles was a one hit wonder in college. Just like Paxton Lynch, Jake Locker, JaMarcus Russell, E.J. Manuel, Josh Freeman..careful about Trubisky Bears fans.

EJ Manuel was a 2 year starter. And played a lot due to injuries his Fr and So year too and was 4-0 in Bowls. And was pretty much the same player throughout. I wouldn't call him a one year wonder. Just much like the Vikings did with his predecessor Ponder, the Bills took a 2nd-3rd round talent in the 1st out of desperation. Even the pundits had him valued there. There wasn't much hype around him like their was Bortles and the others you listed.
