well, for him to disappear there needs to be someone on the roster that can force that to happen. I dont actually think that anyone on the roster is better than him right now. so barring injury or a sudden loss in effectiveness I think he holds steady. for fantasy hes RB2 on most teams depending on the depth you have at the position.

Truth and lies appears to link to your working the wire article. suspect its an easy fix on the back end.

this is along the lines of what I would have said. hes the best of a bad lot. and by far has the most upside. if you really insist on not taking him, Freiermuth is your guy

the bar was pretty low. Its not like Richardson was a world beater. but.... Jones has been pretty decent in this offense. I'll definitely give credit where credit is due. put the guy behind a line that actually can block and the results are like night and day compared to where he was previously. we learned this lesson the year before with Sequon. Yet do we see the giants loading up on O line guys? I still see a crappy line. They just dont get it.

well, the injuries/suspensions are over. and hes throwing to players we have actually heard of again. I think the offense will start to click now. if you can buy low on Mahomes you may have missed the boat, but I'm sure there are still a few sellers out there. I'm predicting a very good second half of the season.

yeah, its tough to pay that price to get a guy like him. who is okay as a RB2/3 but really not reliable health wise. as an AJ owner, at that price, I'd rather hold to see if he can turn things around. sure, if you need a RB bad enough this will get you a startable RB. but I have to think there is a better deal out there for a RB somewhere.

I could see this being a fit. at least temporarily.

The line has been terrible this year and last year. probably a bit worse this year. I think PFF predicted this would be a bottom 3 O line this year. possibly the worst in the NFL. I am pretty sure this is the main cause of his...... non performance.

hes listed as being out for a while due to a collarbone injury but wouldnt surprise me if hes also in concussion protocall. but the official diagnosis is a broken clavacle. but the concussion protocall is to keep players from going back in too soon. if hes out weeks (or for the season) with this injury maybe the concussion protocall does not apply. I'm not sure but I'm seeing nothing of this on the posts at the moment. but based on the replay, it would not surprise me if there was a concussion there. but I do think the reason he dropped the ball could easily be the collarbone injury. Sometimes you can momentarily lose control of your body when an injury like that occurs so it is actually possible this is not concussion related.

too many mouths to feed in that offense. they cant all eat every week. my best guess is hes the odd guy out (at least this week he is)

its probably a good guess, but at this early stage of his career the possible range is likely a lot wider than that. factors that can affect this are many but the most prominent would be: 1) coaching 2) quality of the O line 3) in general the quality of the players around him on offense 4) off field issues. and these are the issues we can point at and identify. there are like a million others we cannot. but I'm fully on board in saying the early returns look pretty good. I do think hes going to be a starting calibre QB or (at worst) a solid backup QB. Admittedly a fair bit would need to go wrong from here on out for him to end up a backup. A la Wentz

the body of work is too small to determine this for sure. Lets just agree he throws a good deep ball.

that was exactly my thought when I saw the name of the thread

He hasnt shown enough that I'd replace Tua with him. I do think if they do replace Tua, it will be in the offseason or very very late in the season. they will give Zach a cup of coffee to see if he has learned anything (or unlearned some bad habits)

egbuka is coming on because baker has nobody else healthy enough to throw to. make no mistake. fully healthy Godwin is Better. hes just not fully healthy.
