    I just find nfl fans to be funny.  Years of watching and everyones quick to anoint teams or players and then quick to dismiss them.  Like they dont learn or remember how it goes.  

    3 weeks in and people were laughing at the chiefs saying run is over.  Fast forward a handful of weeks now same people are calling them SB favs.  

    Dart is awesome such a spark beats Eagles handily.   Then has a couple rough games (idk 30 pts vs denver D better than mvp Dak) a handful of starts into his career and now he wont even be good.  Its hilarious.  

    well, I said this earlier.

    the tools are in the toolbox.   but when it comes to playing in the NFL its all about whats in the kids head.    you gotta make good decisions, and you need to make them quickly.

    Not everyone can do that at the NFL level.   you have about a second less time to make those decisions than you have at the college level.  while that doesnt seem like much, its actually a lot.  and the Defenses are more sophisticated and skilled and will throw different looks at you.

    its a much harder job at the pro level.

    Not understanding the sudden knock on Dart.  

    What do people expect out of rookies?  With Nabers the Giants were thought of as a basement team.  Russ was terrible.  Dart has given them a spark without Nabers.  You people expect no bad games?  Who is his number 1 WR?  Why wouldnt Dart go 1 overall if thr expectations are to lift Naberless Giants on hid back and win a bunch of games?  

    He is 1-1 vs Hurts with much worse roster.  

    well thats the thing.  we wont truly know what hes about for another year.

    teams are gonna find ways to negate him and he as a QB will need to adapt.    Every rookie goes through this.  and the ones who can adapt to the way the league defends him will inevitably become starters.  the ones who cant become backups.

    we wont truly know the results for a while

    Horrible, they deserved to lose with that look.  

    Well they did lose.   so the Fantasy gods made them pay. (though they were against the pack.... likely they were gonna lose anyway)

    Agree. I watched a ton of Dart in College and was never impressed. I don't expect him to be an NFL starter for long. He's just not good. 

    well, the tools are in the toolbox.  but at the NFL level its more processing speed than it is about skill because everybody (for the most part) in the NFL has skill.

    I guess we will see.   this is the first dud of the year.  it could be a sign of things to come, or it could just be a bad game. The eagles are a pretty good defense.   so I think it is too early to establish this as a trend, but you can bet on one thing...... whatever the defense was doing against him..... whoever plays him over the next week or two will try to do the same things that gave him a problem.

    that said, some weaker defenses likely dont have the talent to be able to execute the game plan in the same way.   so its not a guarantee that hes headed for harder times.

    I remember watching a very good defense execute a very good game plan against Lamar a couple of years back and people said a lot of the same.  but I saw the game and I felt that only one or two defenses in the NFL had the talent and ability to execute such a game plan.  so I did not see that as a sign of things to come.   so you kind of need to put it into context.  other teams did try to execute that same gameplan vs Lamar with minimal success.  but I saw those games and clearly they didnt have the talent to be able to execute in the same way and Lamar was good enough to overcome that with only occasional issues.

    so I think the bottom line is.... it is likely too early to say for sure one way or another.

    but I do agree.  next game or two, the defense will try to emulate what Philly did against him.    it will be interesting to see how that turns out.

    C'mon Mayfield.  You've gone from potential MVP to this sh1tty first half performance? 

    I'm in a league where you play multiple teams each week.  I would have run the table if Baker put up 15-18 fantasy points  instead I get 7.5 points.   what was going to be a fantastic week turned into just a good week.

    I suppose I shouldnt complain but this stiff only seems to have good weeks when he is on my bench.

    They don’t need him.

    well, he keeps the defense honest.  if they crowd the line, he gets the ball.  if they play to stop the pass, Sequon gets the ball.

    for a game (maybe two) you can get by without him.   but teams will quickly adapt to the more run heavy offense.   Like it or not.... He is an important part of that.

    The Bucs are horrible - how they have 5 wins is one of the unexplained mysteries of the world.

    This is my fault.  I started Baker this week.  and he only seems to perform well on my bench.

    I think people were a little fast to anoint him a hall of famer. Teams are starting to see more film on him. 

    This always happens.  

    Now he as a QB will need to adapt to how teams are defending him.    If he can adapt, hes a legit starting QB.... if not....  he becomes a backup QB.

    Flacco revenge game 😂 hasn’t played for the team since what? 2022? Cleveland or Indy would be bigger revenge games. 

    flacco has played for enough teams that literally half the league could be a revenge game.   its to the point where this means nothing anymore.

    Is Javonte Williams going to keep his value up or dissappear? Thoughts?

    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.

    Mark it down....Hock is due for a blowup.

    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

    Not true, many thought they would be better with Jones, he’s proven that, Richardson isn’t an nfl Qb.  

    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.

    Mahomes is now the favorite for MVP.  But yeah, his play has fallen off a cliff :lol:

    He looked like his old self on Sunday.   Coincidence that he now finally has his full stock of weapons? I guess we'll see in the next few weeks.

    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.

    AJ Brown all day. The Eagles announced that they are going to be more aggressive now and Dobbins will be lucky to make it to week 8. 

    Easy decision for me 

    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.

    He’s really taken a step back. The line is horrendous, but if Collins or Schultz isn’t open he’s lost

    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.

    It's too early to tell where Drake Maye ranks among famous Patriots QBs, but I'd say he ends up somewhere between Doug "Skin" Flutie and Drew Bledsoe "Much, He Needed a Transfusion"

    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
