Mason's arm is trash but it's probably better than Ben's now.
Except it's not. Mason doesn't have the arm to complete the throws Ben is missing. The only way Mason is an upgrade is if he sees the field better, is more decisive and faster with his progressions. Maybe, but I doubt it.
Mason runs play action significantly better.
At this point, I'd say he reads the field better.
He struggles with mid rang passes, particularly deep outs, because he just can't get enough velocity.

Might as well play Mason. Make the comedy complete.
If they put Mason in, he’ll hand it off on every 1st and 2nd down, throw underneath on 3rd and long, unless they sprinkle in an overthrown sideline deep ball to a guy that’s not really open.
I'm not saying he'll do anything. Mason is a backup at best and probably not even that. The offense is garbage right now. At least he'll be taking the hits instead of Ben. This game is over.
Howard Griffith had to resort to chop-blocking him during the 1997 AFC Championship Game. An incredulous Kirkland asked Griffith, “Why do you have to use cheap tactics like chop-blocking?” Griffith replied “Why do you have to be a 300-pound linebacker?”

Ok, how many wins does this team get?
3-4 my guess
The bright side…won’t need to trade up for a QB.

SO who was wrong on that throw to claypool in the EZ?
Who knows. Looks to me like Ben made the wrong read.
But in all honesty, Claypool is playing like a UDFA.
Ben should've been benched in the first half if we're just making broad judgments.
And if Ben thought Claypool was going to break outside, it was still a shit throw and high.

Claypool and Ben not on same page.
Neither head coach or QB demand perfection in practice.
Been saying for years....
This team loses more games before the opening kick off than any team in football.
Execution starts on Monday.
You mean the QB who reportedly has been yelling at his team in practice because they were executing perfectly?
I mean Jesus the guy can’t win with the fanbase unless he’s walking on water. It’s going like shit right now but it may not be that way forever. I don’t know.

Yeah it is.
LMFAO....if you say so
I have a feeling Mike Tomlin has a better arm than Ben does these days.
Sad end to a Hall of Fame career.

Well we haven't given up a safety yet.

Claypool was open. Had the throw been inside, it's a TD.

Does the Bingo card have "Call timeout inside other team's 10 so the other team can have more time to score"?

Jeffrey Toobin on CNN zoom call fame has more arm strength than Ben.
But like Ben, he has poor judgment about when to release.

Whole offense is completely disjointed. Receivers and Ben on different page, o-line missing assignments, penalties.. going through harris has been the only consistency. Its like watching a DII college offense.
And yet they run that shit out there week after week…no change, no accountability. We do what we do.

Those talking heads still wrong?

I didn't. Just re-iterating the fact that claypool was actually open. Had almost two steps on the defender.

He hits his receivers on both hands on almost every throw, but you keep watching whatever game it is you're watching.
