Of the 8 backups currently starting that article focuses on, only 2 of them have won the job from a former starter that is now healthy: Levis and O’Connell.

Interesting to read Gannon’s comments on those two, especially in the context about his non-player-specific comments that the article featured, which are mostly about the importance of understanding protections:

Levis: “He’s one of these guys that when you’re the youngest kid in the neighborhood he wants to challenge all the kids to see how far he can throw it, he’s that guy. The accuracy and the decision-making and the lack of experience is a problem.”

O’Connell: “He’s got a lot of the intangibles you like — he’s poised, he’s comfortable in the pocket, he’s got good feet, good mechanics, he makes all the throws, he doesn’t get rattled, when he makes a mistake he’s able to quickly turn the page and come back. I think that kid’s got a chance.”

Saw a stat last week that Allen actually had more turnovers than turnover-worthy plays

This game should have been first team to 3 wins

Ravens. 4-8 against them in the regular season and 0-1 in the playoffs

Redditor asks redditors if they as GM would turn an NFL team into a Super Bowl contender. lulz

Help me Justin Jefferson, you’re my only hope

Of course they did. Non-story.

The guy in my dynasty league who has him loves him. And he is 9th in QB points, so that makes sense. But 21 ppg for the Commanders doesn’t seem very reassuring that he has long term job security. And Washington is deep for weapons with McLaurin, Thomas, Dotson, Samuel, Crowder, Brown, and some RBs that are good receivers out of the backfield.

I haven’t really had a chance to see Bryce Young in the NFL yet. I know he has had a rough rookie year this far, but I am still looking forward to it.
