Jones is an impressive runner, but at some point, someone is going to send him to sleep if he keeps refusing to slide.

Jones looks A LOT like a lesser talented Pickett...for anyone wondering how he might look with a real OC.
They look like twins, down to the number. Not sure where you see Jones being inferior to Pickett.

Jones is inferior to Purdy…that’s for sure

I think Kenny is a little faster and a little better arm.

He might be faster, but I don't think he's as physically strong as Jones.

Kenny might get there with more working out, but Jones delivers punishment when he runs.

If Kenny tried that, at least this year, I think he might have died.

Kenny is slightly quicker, both are good runners. Jones is a bigger guy. Both have average NFL arms, need some work with anticipation and accuracy at times. Both can win games when not asked to do too much. Neither have the tools to ever be one of the elites. Neither will kill your season. Pretty similar players in my book. (Sorry if this football opinion deeply hurts anyones feelings. We are launching a new “safe space” forum tomorrow)

With the safe space, will the proper usage of correct pronouns be encouraged?

Nobody will be permitted to post anything as everything can be deemed offensive to someone. Essentially it will be a blank forum, and you’ll be able to adjust the color of the blank screen so nobody is offend.. It’ll be the perfect forum for this new generation.

Pretty much where I'm at. But I'd like to see Pickett with a real OC before entirely agreeing with you.

One of those "elites" just lucked out at home against a 3rd string rookie who only started a few games and basically didn't know his ass from his elbow.

Two non-elites are involved in one helluva game in the afternoon game, right now.

Measurables are overrated. Coaching and supporting casts are far more important in my book.

NOW

I'm not sure I would have agreed 10 years ago. All the rules changes have made the advantages of a FQB much more questionable, especially given that salaries haven't remotely caught up to that reality.

Bendick Gray (SW7029) will be the only shade of gray available.

The Giants have 7 plays of 10+ yards on their first 2 drives. Don't they know about trying to get to 3rd and short?
And then look…they went on a 20 play drive that was stalled out due to a penalty and all they got was a FG out of it.

Sound familiar?

Sounds like the type of forum I could really get into

Tired of having my feelings hurt by mean comments made towards me by people I’ve never met

I could use a break from it all

Thank you

Yes unfortunately

That penalty was a killer

They should be up 7

Cool how some coordinators can scheme receivers and backs to be wide open

Makes it a bit easier for the QB, whoever that might be

Couldn’t agree more. Here’s to 2024 when they might have a new OC, and hopefully a new head coach as well.

I've been saying all year that Matt Canada is calling games exactly the way Mike Tomlin wants him to.

...and so will the next guy.
