It's difficult to assess him fairly given the total lack of weapons, but there are a lot of throws where he has plenty of time, no pressure, and he just straight up misses.

It's just sack after sack every week because he takes forever to release it. They need to use Henry more imo. I can see Jax taking the south away from us. Well done on the win mate.

There was an interesting youtube vid the other day, basically suggesting that the Titans are in a heap of short-term trouble. They aren't talented enough to compete for an AFC title so are never going to threaten a Superbowl, but at the same time Vrabel is competent and respected enough that he'll drag them to .500 every year with mediocre talent, so unless Willis is a huge improvement on Tannehill and they can unearth a load of weapons in the draft and FA, it's looking like more and more of the Jeff Fisher-like wheelspinning. I don't think it's really as bleak as the guy was implying because they play in a weak division and could probably still make a passable attempt at being competitive while in a mild rebuild, but as you probably know I've been saying for years that paying Tannehill like a top 10 QB was silly because they wedded themselves to a guy who was never going to get them over the hump of trying to compete with AFC powerhouse offences like the Chiefs and Bills. It's the same problem the Ravens have. Great D and a league-leading running game will take you so far, but if your QB is sub-standard and can't be relied upon to make the throws you need to make to win games, you are basically fighting with one hand tied behind your back.

Should probably add that I'm not saying guys like Tannehill and Jackson aren't decent QB's, but they're just not upper tier guys and you shouldn't be paying them as such. Do people in Minnesota or Tennessee really honestly believe their QB's will drag their teams to Superbowls one day? Same reason the Raiders may well just let Carr walk. He's not bad enough to stink, but he's not Superbowl winning calibre either, so you really should be looking for the next guy instead of paying them to hang around and make you mediocre.

Also, that NE lateral :lol:

Even more amazing that it was by a Belichick team.

One of the most nonsensical endings to a game I’ve ever seen.

Matt Patricia is more than likely going to be assigned the blame for this loss. I'd be shocked if he was back in New England next season and is probably gone as soon as we are out of play off contention.

I'll never understand why players on the return team get involved in scrambles for the ball inside their own ten yard line. There's absolutely nothing you can do that results in a positive outcome. Just get your arse as far away as possible in the opposite direction.

Do you think DJ has done enough yet to think about sitting down and trying to re-sign him, or do you think they'll let him walk? 

I haven't watched any NYG games this year so I don't really have anything to go on myself.

In my opinion he deserves a new deal, he’s been efficient and has drastically improved his ball security. Our cap situation is crap tho after the Gettelman experience though and we have Saquon looking for a new deal as well

As I said, I haven't seen him play, but I think purely from an operational perspective they probably should be trying to get him re-signed. He's the guy you drafted originally so you probably run with him until he absolutely proves he's not the guy, but beyond that, I don't think they'll be in a position to grab a QB in the draft with likely 7 or 8 QB-needy teams drafting ahead of them, the potential FA options like Carr aren't really all that enticing, and I'm uncertain Daboll would really want to be starting all over again in year two of his time with a new QB and and all the bedding-in that comes with that, especially so a rookie. 

I've always been a big Barkley fan, because I think on pure talent he's the only back of the last 10 years who is in anywhere close to the LT/Peterson echelon of potential greats. I argued elsewhere that despite the trend for not taking RB's high, the Giants were absolutely right to take him over Quentin Nelson or such because he's the sort of transcendent talent that would win a mediocre team games entirely on his own back, whereas a solid or even All-Pro non-skill position player just can not do that unless he's a totally game-destroying Edge or something. It's a pity about his injuries, but I still think he's genuinely the only current NFL back that could potentially end up being talked about with Emmitt Smith, Sanders, LT etc, he really is that talented.
