  • Truth be told, none of the meatheads here know anything about his progressions, where his eyes are supposed to go and what the play design is. They’re just parroting what other people say on ESPN, Twitter, etc.

    Remember when Mac Jones was supposed to be some super computer processor who always made the right read? He’s fucking terrible and makes some of the worst throws you’ll see. But his ability to go through reads/programs is never under attack because that wasn’t the narrative.

    The problem with him right now is he’s dealing with a lot of things at once. There’s the initial play, then he has to identify potential blitzes and coverages. Then he has to go through his reads. But how quick is too quick? Should he stare down route one to lure the coverage away from route two? But what if that guy who he thought was blitzing drops back to where route two is going? Shit, maybe I should just take off? Fuck, here’s a defender in my face.

    There are a shitload of variables going on in a QB’s mind when he’s back there. What makes the great ones great is confidence to make that throw AND in their protection. I think Fields is all over the place right now, hence the jittery movement we see back there and apparent indecisiveness.

    What he needs is easy half field reads to settle him down, ease him into the game and go from there.


  • -Poles knows talent. I commend him on recognizing players in the draft and being willing to pull the trigger. Dexter looks like he’s going to be really, really good. Pickens is going to be a solid rotational player for a long time. Terrell Smith has been outstanding. Wright is a stud. Roschon is a bruising back who’s getting closer to breaking one. Overall I’m impressed.

    -Fields has it rough back there, he really does. He had two bad misses, the high ball to Mooney and the out route to Moore, but QB’s miss throws every game… even Elite ones. Overall he played very well, just HOLD ONTO THE FUCKING BALL!

    -Getsy has to go. I understand why the screen game was implemented, but c’mon man.









  • Coaches are usually blamed for the ineptness of the team, typically unfairly. But there are a few things that you can directly attribute to coaching; Preparedness, discipline, energy and attitude are all directly linked to coaching. And more often than not this team comes out flat, commits penalties, looks completely unprepared and appears to be waiting for the game to win.

    This is why I believe Eberflus needs to go. I thought the team played hard last year, and despite their record they were far from the worst team in the league. But this year has been pretty embarrassing and it started with Week 1 against a below average Packers team.
