Missing 2/5 starters on the line and an overall pretty bad team will make a rookie look bad. The Texans have one the worst receiving corps in the NFL. He's going to look bad this year but it's not an indictment against his ability.
Similiar to what happened to Bryce Young over the weekend, if he had a decent offesive line, we probably would have been able to see more of his abilities.
Andrew Luck is the perfect example of a great QB with no one to protect him. You need to draft a line to protect your QB.
Surprised his scramble up the middle wasn't in there, you could see legit terror in the kids eyes when he tucked the ball and ran.
I watched until the Ekuale sack and that breakdown just made it impossible to take seriously. The back was still actively engaged with the edge defender until well after the guard is murdered and Ekuale is a free rusher right up the gut. That's an easy sack on 95% of veteran QBs.
Might someone like Brady just float the fuck out of it figuring either his back releases or it's a throwaway? I guess, though plays like that are what cost him a perfect season. And he sure as hell wasn't going to as a rookie, and most QBs will never get to a point where they can salvage that play.
Thus overreaction thread
With my Vikings, it's the usual suspects again, the coaches better wrap the starting o-line and defensive secondary in a truckload of bubble wrap because Thursday showed we have absolutely no depth in those departments. The starting o-line themselves have only become passable with the addition of Darrisaw and the starting secondary are shaky at best as-is.
Pretty much the same for my phins, but even some of the starting line has me concerned. Our backup QBs looked awful so keeping Tua healthy is even more important now, and our line didn't ease any of those concerns.
WE BEAT THE CHIEFS! SUPERBOWL HERE WE COME! OH WHEN THE SAAAINTS OH WHEN THE SAAAINTS...
I'm pretty happy with how Stetson Bennett played. A lot of things the young guys can clean up when it comes to the rub block. But over all excited for the season.
Bennett was pretty impressive during his reps.
Seahawks did decently except they need to work on tackling. There were a few plays they could've stopped sooner they let go for yac.
Payton ain't gonna be enough.
The Packers were fun to watch. Love is going to do just fine as QB1. Lots of team energy on both sides of the ball.
