Week 8 Observations…

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

I appreciate it. Assuming I get 2.8 from Mahomes tonight, I (the #4) will take down the #1 this week. Baker was one of his duds.

At some point I need to start this Maye guy. I hear he's pretty good on my bench.

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.

 

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.

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)

He's Tommy DeVito who can run. That's about it.
