Dak threw for 500 yards today, if they had any kind of good defense/secondary they would be real good

Burrow and Herbert look legit.

Depending on what we see from Tua, could be at least 3 good Qbs from this year's draft...

Yeah that was a failed test. Chose the play with no scoring chance vs the play with possible chance.


Haskins HAS to have better first halves. I know that for his standards today was indeed better, but he's far from where he has to be.

I don't know what's going on. Maybe he's enough of a neophyte that he still can't transfer what he studies on tape to what he's seeing on the field until he's seen the defense for a half and then had time to process. It's weird.

I'd be far more content with his development if he had second half play to start games.

Feel bad for Haskins but it seems like a waste of a pick. He was always going to be a project but he was drafted by a coach who didn’t want him and didn’t prepare him and now it seems like Rivera is going to want his own guy. Not saying Haskins doesn’t deserve some blame but I maintain he couldn’t have been drafted into a worse situation.

RR is a defensive coach that started out coaching LBs. He's never developed a QB as a head coach. Newton fell into his lap fully formed.

I put no blame on Haskins. Dude is doing the work, the development process he's been given by his bosses is trash and minimizes his chance of success; this guy had very, very little football experience coming into his NFL career and still has very little. Another good talent gone to waste because a bad team did bad things with it.

OBJ just abused the entire Dallas D for 50 yards and the dumbasses Leon letted the xp and the brownies get a 2 pt conversion out of it.
This was a killer. I and Cowboys -6.5 second half in a 3 team parlay. The other 2 legs hit. Cowboys should’ve been up 7 (or 8 with the actual blocked XP) in the 2nd half. But no....freak play means up 6.

lost a lot of $$$ on that once in a lifetime play. I hate betting. I always lose on that. Never win on it

They're a disease. They take talented guys and ruin their careers. I was talking about this with my brother today since Andre Roberts is playing very well for Buffalo. The list of guys who left and flourished is list is long and distinguished but how many guys can you name that have been better in DC than they were somewhere else? Pierre Garcon? London Fletcher? Casey Rabach? It's really pathetic.

Just saw the Browns-Cowboys highlights. Jaw still hanging slack from that OBJ run at the end there in the 4th quarter.
Might be the play of the year!

Also, he's not a particularly accurate passer and has terrible pocket presence.

You can only develop so much.
