I, of course, think this is bullshit, because during his prime there was never a player who impacted the game more than him on the field at the same time as him.
This takes it too far, plenty of players impacted the game more than him during his prime. That being said, almost all of those players are also in the Hall of Fame.
Fields…
The Good
Setting up the game winning FG with a strike to DJ
The 4th and 10 to Kmet
The Bad
Fumble #1
Standing and staring in one of the best pockets you’ll see in the NFL and missing wide open guys. Two plays in a row. They’re very lucky neither got hit for intentional grounding.
The Ugly
Fumble #2. Woof
Marshall was a legit Top 3 WR and he was only top 3 because he played at the same time as peak Calvin and Andre Johnson
Someone turned gifs on and the first result was as unoriginal as expected
GIFs require the adding option of a “serious” tag else it just becomes a discussion had with memes.
I am sick of it, but it’s just a part of the current clickbait sports lexicon that I hate so much including
“The Guy”
“He is Him”
“The Solution”
“Generational”
“Elite”
Sports takes have probably never been nuanced, but I think it’s gotten worse recently
Does anyone know why Fields Passer Rating and QBR are so far apart?
The only other QBs that have such a gap are Russell Wilson, Tommy Devito, and Adian O’Connell (assuming some kind of sample size issue on the latter)
The secondary is unable to stop anyone on 3rd down, for any reason, in any situation. They are 32nd in the league. Dead last. Whether or not that’s the complete lack of pass rush or an ass secondary I don’t know, but I do know that a 32nd ranked pass rush, a 32nd ranked red zone percentage, and 32nd in sacks is FAR from “just a few players away”
They are more than one pass rusher away. Come on. They are dead last in basically every pressure stat and adding Sweat might push them up to bottom 5 at best.
WR opens another hole next year because Mooney will probably be gone.
The secondary blows.
QB is still a question mark until he can put together at least one comeback drive. Just one.
Yes the coaching staff is terrible but I definitely remember the “replacing nagy is worth 3 wins alone” argument that busted too.
You’re asking why Bears fans care watching the team win a game?
I don’t think it can possibly get more gunslinger than a season of 30 TDs and 30 INTs
He doesn’t have to be extended this year, only optioned. But by skipping the option, they also run the risk of ending up in a Daniel Jones situation and paying big money to a bum.
My guess is they’re already moving on, unless he goes on an absolute tear for the rest of the year.
The Chargers would never, ever do this. This was asked a while ago about the Vikings and Jefferson and even they wouldn’t do that.
Top 10 really, because you can’t extend a guy who peaked at Top 15.
I am surprised that more people aren’t pissed about this yet, and the only reason I can think of is that the Bears traded for what is the current #1 pick. If that doesn’t hold, and stroud leads Houston to playoffs or something, I expect the heat is going to be turned up.
I prefer T-Bag
So you think all a DC does is call plays on game day?
