going off again. Great week for ff wideouts.IggyPride00;1753825 wrote:James fucking Jones....what a bunch of bullshit.
Good teams have injuries and always miraculously pull these guys off the scrap heap to regain all pro form.
A lot of these teams are having issues running the ball because of the systems their O-Lineman are coming from. Most colleges are running spread systems and are grooming "athletic/ballerina-type" O-Linemen. We aren't seeing as many road grader "bullies" who can punch you in the mouth when you need those extra yards. Many of them are "finesse" types, groomed for pass blocking.Azubuike24;1753850 wrote:I don't even think it's about giving him the ball. Lamar Miller, Jeremy Hill and C.J. Anderson are in situations where they just can't run the ball. Period. It's just not working. You can blame injuries, fumbling problems, offensive scheme, but all 3 were incredibly overhyped and overprojected based on some part-time flashes last year.
I agree on the pass protecting. Running the ball in this league is a luxury, not a necessity, if you have a stud QB with weapons.Azubuike24;1753853 wrote:What's funny is, Denver and Cincinnati are both 3-0 and have been woeful using their top tier RB. Denver has been woeful running the ball period.
I agree with what you're saying though, but at the same time, you can't blame these teams. You can't win in this league if you can't pass protect, especially when you have invested so much into the passing game weapons like Cincinnati and Denver have.
Wait.....is somebody calling Dalton a stud? I suppose you beat me to it, this is the season the red head goes deep into the playoffs. His confidence must be at an all time high after the Ravens game. Awesome last five minutes to the game.BR1986FB;1753854 wrote:I agree on the pass protecting. Running the ball in this league is a luxury, not a necessity, if you have a stud QB with weapons.
No, so you can take back your reps. Dalton is a "serviceable" QB with weapons. Manning was a stud QB who has a ton of receiving weapons. Both have solid defenses behind them. If you have a good passing game and a decent defense you can win a lot of games.Uz2Bon36;1753858 wrote:Wait.....is somebody calling Dalton a stud?

Fair enuf'. I think his past record of making playoffs but not winning qualifies as serviceable. Knock on wood, I think he steps up onto the porch of stud QB's this season.BR1986FB;1753859 wrote:No, so you can take back your reps. Dalton is a "serviceable" QB with weapons. .

Sea Chickens won a ring with a game manager in Russell Wilson. If Dalton doesn't piss down his leg, like he usually does, in the playoffs they will definitely be a contender. He puts up solid regular season stats (ala Peyton Manning) and then he shrivels up in the playoffs.Azubuike24;1753863 wrote:Dalton is tough to grade. He has clearly choked in the playoffs, but in-terms of regular season stats, he's arguably a top 10-12 QB since he's been in the league. Not a stud, but he's better than guys he's put behind on a regular basis.
Compare him to Joe Flacco, Matt Stafford, Jay Cutler, Sam Bradford, Alex Smith, Carson Palmer, Eli Manning, etc...it's mostly favorable.
Dalton (5 years) - 107 TD, 67 INT, 61.8 Comp %, 86.7 QBR
Stafford (7 years) - 136 TD, 90 INT, 59.8 Comp %, 83.4 QBR
Cutler (10 years) - 185 TD, 132 INT, 61.7 Comp %, 85.1 QBR
Flacco (8 years) - 152 TD, 94 INT, 60.7 Comp %, 84.7 QBR
Smith (10 years) - 126 TD, 79 INT, 60.5 Comp %, 83.0 QBR
Bradford (6 years) - 62 TD, 42 INT, 58.9 Comp %, 78.9 QBR
Palmer (12 years) - 233 TD, 157 INT, 62.6 Comp %, 86.9 QBR
Manning (12 years) - 263 TD, 185 INT, 59.1 Comp %, 82.7 QBR

Tell that to the mainstream sports media.Azubuike24;1753870 wrote:Throw Matt Ryan in there.
Romo, Ryan and Rivers are amazing regular season QB's. They all rank top 8 in active leaders for almost every category. They all stink in the playoffs. The criticism should be equal.
And id take every one of them over dalton.Azubuike24;1753870 wrote:Throw Matt Ryan in there.
