Re: Week 1 Discussion Thread
Houston paying Deshaun Watson to sit while Tyrod Taylor plays. The David Culley era is starting out great.
Re: Week 1 Discussion Thread
Not sure about his contract but didn't he just signed it last offseason? If so, it's likely the 2nd year money is all guaranteed regardless.King Bootz wrote: ↑Tue Sep 07, 2021 10:25 amHouston paying Deshaun Watson to sit while Tyrod Taylor plays. The David Culley era is starting out great.
But it's definitely a clusterfuck.
Feel bad for Culley. The man paid his dues in the NFL and when he finally gets his HC opportunity he has to inherit this mess, of which he didn't create.
The Texans are going to have the 1st pick of the draft next year and if they trade Watson a ton more draft capital to rebuild pretty quickly with cheap and talented 1st contract guys.
I guess the only reason they haven't traded Watson is the offers haven't been enough. But I'm not sure how the offers get better as time goes by.
Re: Week 1 Discussion Thread
Steelers @ Bills should be a fun game to watch with potential playoff ramifications.
It's going to be nice putting on RedZone for week 1 so I can take it all in.

I seen some chart where Josh Allen throws 62, is that miles per hour?

Re: Week 1 Discussion Thread
Their hardline stance before the allegations came to the surface are why they are in this circumstance. They decided they didn't want to trade him. That's their prerogative. What happened subsequently isn't their fault but it's their burden to bear.Dread wrote: ↑Tue Sep 07, 2021 10:43 amNot sure about his contract but didn't he just signed it last offseason?

His base salary this year is relatively small, about $10.5mil. But they did sign him to a $27mil signing bonus and his $35mil base for 2022 is fully guaranteed.
My guess is they were expecting him to be placed on the exempt list at this point. However it's clear the league isn't confident enough in the investigation to go that route. So here they stand with an expensive QB who doesn't want to be there and will be a healthy scratch on game day.

Re: Week 1 Discussion Thread
They’ve got a good defense and I think Fitz gives them a chance to surprise some teams. They’ve actually got some pretty decent weapons. However he’ll also lose some games he shouldn’t.

Re: Week 1 Discussion Thread
Im with Lord on this. I think the Football Team's defense matches up very well against the Chargers and Lord Commander Fitzpatrick tends to overachieve early in seasons.
Don't discount Riverboat's impact to the team. He's made them believers in themselves, and that's a heady brew.

Am I allowed to discuss other teams in this thread
Re: Week 1 Discussion Thread
I think they're sneaky good. There was a bit of a fluke factor in their playoff appearance last year, but they're on the upswing. Really good defense. Good coach. McLaurin and Gibson are legit weapons. If I was a WFT, I'd feel better about how my team is developing than the other three in the division.Rocker wrote: ↑Wed Sep 08, 2021 12:06 amIm with Lord on this.

Re: Week 1 Discussion Thread
I actually agree 100%. He went undrafted because the things great about his game don't show up in measurables. He's short, smallish, and he's a 4.55 sort of forty guy. But his vision is elite. His balance is elite. His patience as a runner almost reminds me of Le'Veon Bell. He has an innate sense of when to follow his blocks and when to break off. He times his cuts and spins as well as any back coming into the league. He probably led the nation in, "There's no way he should have scored a touchdown there" touchdowns during his career.mdb1958 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 08, 2021 4:09 amJaret Patterson will surprise.MJW wrote: ↑Wed Sep 08, 2021 12:13 am

Not saying he'll be a superstar. His size probably means he's a career backup. But he's going to be a dude who quietly has a really solid NFL career. Reminds me of Danny Woodhead, who played at Chadron State here in Nebraska, broke all kinds of records, went undrafted because he was small and played inferior competition, and played in the league for ten years.
Even before camp cuts, when he was the 4th stringer with Washington, I took him to be my handcuff to Antonio Gibson in fantasy. I was 100% confident he'd beat out Peyton Barber, and I'm confident he'll get the reps over JD McKissic is WFT needs a rusher to spell Gibson.

If I was a team that needed him, I would float something like:
Incumbent QB (Tua, Carr, whatever)
2022 1st Rounder, No Questions Asked.
2022 3rd Rounder, No Questions Asked.
2023 2nd Rounder That Can Become A 1st Rounder if he plays X snaps.
2023 4th Rounder, No Questions Asked.
2024 3rd Rounder That Can Become A 2nd Rounder if he plays X snaps.
Something like that. Potential for Two #1s, A 2nd, A 3rd, and A 4th IF Watson clears up his issues 100%. And if he doesn't, the other team is paying A 1st, A 2nd, Two 3rds, and A 4th. Which is still a tidy haul for the Texans, considering Watson is never going to play for them again either way and they're getting a guy who ended up not playing for his new team either off the books.

Re: Week 1 Discussion Thread
Look like Garoppolo is the starter for the 49ers
Sorry Trey Lance fans, I don’t know what you see in him
Sorry Trey Lance fans, I don’t know what you see in him
Re: Week 1 Discussion Thread
This was absolutely no surprise and shouldn't be construed as an indictment of Lance. The fact it was a topic of discussion is an amazing credit to Lance, in fact. Lance played in 19 college games in his career, for North Dakota State. He's played in 1 game over the last 18 months. There was no reasonable expectation he was going to come in and start over Jimmy G, who is entering his 5th year in the offense, has gone 22-8 as a starter there, and led them to a Super Bowl not long ago.
As for what we Lance fans see in him, you can see plenty of glimmers of it just in his preseason highlights. He's accurate - he throws his receivers into YAC position. Quick release. He doesn't panic in the pocket, but when he runs, he's a major threat. He's decisive - he sees it and he throws it. And he's perfect for an offense which wants to do a lot of rollouts and boots, which Shanny Jr. does.
Also, by literally every account available, he's an A+ teammate and human being with a top-notch work ethic and intelligence.
Watching him below, I see a more athletic Dak Prescott.

Re: Week 1 Discussion Thread
The only real issue I've seen with Lance is that he doesn't understand touch. He throws most of his throws as hard as he can, which have resulted in picks.

We'll see what Lance becomes, but I'm a believer in Kyle Shanahan's coaching ability when it comes QBs and offense. I think Lance will get on the field in a Taysom Hill type of role early to get the rushing attack going w/ some easy reads off play action.

Re: Week 1 Discussion Thread
If you were expecting him to come in day 1 and be a star then you never had realistic expectations to begin with. As a Niners fan, this pick had to grow on me. I was hoping for either Zack Wilson or Justin Fields. But as I looked more at Lance’s tape, I saw the appeal for Shanahan. Lance is accurate, moves very well, and diagnosis rather quickly. The system isn’t an easy one. Garoppolo starts for now but Lance is the future in San Francisco.

Re: Week 1 Discussion Thread
Niners need to go ahead and keep Trey Lance in at QB.
Re: Week 1 Discussion Thread
Totally agree. Not a fan of Jimmy. Lance is the anti-Jimmy. The coaching is good enough. Get him in there.
Re: Week 1 Discussion Thread
Trevor Lawrence looks lost against the Texans. To be expected for most rookie QBs in their first game. His mobility is obvious. The arm is nice. Just not seeing defenders and air mailing passes.
