Re: Week 10 Discussion
So when do we hear Mayfield has a injured thumb

True. Intelligent posters understand why that is.Bootz wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2023 2:36 pmAnd yet you want Baker benched if we fall out of playoffs contention, even if he isn't the main reason why.....13F11B wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2023 2:32 pm
I wanted Trask to win the training camp battle.... and if the Buccaneers are eliminated from playoff contention, I would want to start Trask to get a better look at him. Kinda different than what you are claiming. Baker has played well this year. The defense is more the reason for losses than Baker.
Re: Week 10 Discussion
So what ever happened to the red unis being our home jerseys? I remember going back to the 90s, whenever November rolled around, the white homes were put in the closet. I miss the red and pewter.

Do tell. Let's go off the premise that I'm not an intelligent poster.

Re: Week 10 Discussion
I think the reason people want Baker benched is because while he is good, hes not great. He is mid-tier and will probably never be a top 5 qb in the league.
Baker has probably reached his final form and its mediocre.
The reason people want to see Trask is because it was actually fairly close in camp and while Baker may be maxed out, Trask has a lot of room to grow.

Re: Week 10 Discussion
Baker and the defense play like this the rest of the season they’re going to win 5+ more games. If that’s the case nobody is getting fired and baker probably gets extended. Or at least tagged.
Re: Week 10 Discussion
So the Lions keep winning. 6-2 and #2 seed in NFC playoff
Re: Week 10 Discussion
No one really believes that honestly. Not 1 person has said they believe Trask has a high ceiling. "Room to grow" is such a vague phrase that could mean anything. Grow into what exactly? You're not gonna say "well sky is the limit for him". I think at best you're looking at a poor man's Mike Glennon. And people know this.Obsolete wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2023 3:15 pm I think the reason people want Baker benched is because while he is good, hes not great.

Looking at our final 8 the only real daunting task is this Sunday at the Niners. We have a real chance at a 7-1 finish.Grahamburn wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2023 3:41 pm Baker and the defense play like this the rest of the season they’re going to win 5+ more games.

We know they’ll lay an egg or 3, plus this Sunday. But, yeah.

Re: Week 10 Discussion
Oh yea, 7-1 is highly unlikely, but we have a chance. Just sort of "perfect world" scenario. But it's the NFL. A call here, injury there, mistake here could change it all.Grahamburn wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2023 4:08 pmWe know they’ll lay an egg or 3, plus this Sunday. But, yeah. Overall the schedule is “easy.”

Re: Week 10 Discussion
After actually going to the game yesterday and talking to a lot of people…and throwing back a few…if this is the case, the fan base will be pissed. Not many people are fans of Baker/Bowles. They want change. Baker’s fan club is prolly less than the number of people Brady’s hooked up with in the last year…maybe month.Grahamburn wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2023 3:41 pm If that’s the case nobody is getting fired and baker probably gets extended.

Re: Week 10 Discussion
Well, I've asked this question for 2 years now and the answer is always the same: "He might not suck".13F11B wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2023 4:34 pmI think my premise is alive and well when you make statements like that.Bootz wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2023 4:00 pm

So let's try this again: What makes Kyle Trask a good option at QB?

Re: Week 10 Discussion
My take is: there is a 0% chance Baker Mayfield becomes a sustained above average quarterback in the league- who you should sign to a long contract. There is a nonzero chance the same applies to Kyle Trask. Even if it is close to zero.
Theres a very low chance either of them are long term plans here. Personally, I don’t see the downside in giving Trask a shot. But I’m also not coaching for my job and would prefer the team lose out…

Re: Week 10 Discussion
Let's make clear what I'm asking. Here's a quick write up from you earlier today on CJ Stroud.Snake wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2023 4:58 pm My take is: there is a 0% chance Baker Mayfield becomes a sustained above average quarterback in the league- who you should sign to a long contract.

"Most advanced thrower"Snake wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2023 11:26 am I said it in my draft profile about him. He’s the most advanced thrower of his class, and it’s not even close. And he’s processing the game extremely well. The only concern about him coming out was the fact that he did poorly against pressure in college. It’s like the opposite now. He has a path to being a top three quarterback in the NFL.
"Processes game extremely well"
"only concern about him coming out was the fact that he did poorly against pressure in college. It’s like the opposite now"
"Top 3 potential"
You effortlessly rattled off several positive attributes that made/make Stroud a good option to play QB. And did so very well.
Now do the same for Trask. What attributes does he possess? Or is the answer you don't know and "he has a nonzero chance he becomes a sustained above average QB".

Re: Week 10 Discussion
Would have to be some intangible “cognitive” thing that clicked under live bullets. Again, when I say “non-zero” I mean like 0.1% chance. I can’t even provide an example of a guy who made that sort of leap. It’s conjecture.Bootz wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2023 5:04 pmLet's make clear what I'm asking.

Cherry picking is the art of their game, haven't you heard?Grahamburn wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2023 1:46 pm Didn’t Stroud lose to Carolina before playing us? Cherry pick a couple games why don’tcha.
It's all already preset. If we lose its because of our embarrassing coaches and if we win its in spite of them. What actually happens in a game doesn't matter.
But at the same time if we win because of our amazing players, no credit to the GM that got those players, because luck or something.
Point is, no matter what happens the only answer is clean house because it's a bucs life.

I feel like Baker has played really well so far. He’s up against it. As are Bowles/Licht/Canales.
This QB class has got to be so enticing for anyone wanting that change.
Their only option is to keep winning and make it impossible to fire them.
Re: Week 10 Discussion
I know this blows tankaholics simple little minds but we can keep winning AND draft our next franchise QB.

Re: Week 10 Discussion
You dont know that though. Who woulda thought Tom Brady would end up being the GOAT?

Am i saying hes the next Tom Brady? No, but its not out of the realm of possibility that he cant be at least someone good enough to build around.
Re: Week 10 Discussion
Again, your intelligence is lacking because you keep asking the wrong question or not understanding what I keep telling you. I will not be put in your pathetic, stupid, idiotic box. Either admit you are dumber than a pet rock or stop being a dick by asking the same stupid question.
Re: Week 10 Discussion
You look at any scouting reports for any QB and I bet you the argument for said guy won't be "well look at Tom Brady".Obsolete wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2023 5:38 pmYou dont know that though.

Something. Anything other than pointing to 1 guy who started his career 23 years ago. Yet no one is able to say 1 good thing Trask brings to the table other then he might not suck.
Honestly it seems people fully understand why Trask isn't starting. They just don't want to admit it.

Re: Week 10 Discussion
The history of the NFL is literally littered with successful QB’s who weren’t first round picks. “We don’t know” isn’t an invalid argument until we truly don’t know.
I’m not advocating for Trask because Baker is playing well, but I’m not writing him off because he’s never been given a chance either.

Re: Week 10 Discussion
These arguments are all smoke and mirrors as we all pretend to be big brain enough to successfully objectively compare QB in a vacuum.
And worse still, the unspoken hero worshipping premise that circumstances don't matter and their success is independent of them.
