Well, in Jones defense, he has 22 less sexual assault lawsuits filed against him. He just isn’t equipped to run an NFL offense. God knows what Joe Judge did to him, and Mac Jones? Deshaun Watson ruined his own career and reputation.

So, I feel a lot worse for Dan Jones, in this particular comparison.
 
Will Levis of Tennessee, averaged 4 yards per pass attempt against Chicago.
 
Did DeVante Adams demand a trade to Las Vegas or is that just who happened to give Green Bay the best offer? They're basically wasting his talents. Gets reunited with his college QB, then they trade his college QB, and now he's on his fourth QB in three years and next year they'll draft another QB.
 
Will Levis regressing is not what I was hoping for to start the season - he needs to shape up or the Titans have got a long road ahead. What a waste of a great defensive effort.

On behalf of all of East Tennessee I'm sorry to Cleveland that you've been saddled with the Haslams as owners. I wouldn't even wish that on the Cowboys.

Speaking of which, I wonder if Watson being freshly accused of rape would give the League the opportunity to get rid of him for good?
 
Or Russell Wilson, a million dollar head with a ten cent talent. I think he's probably the highest-paid bench warmer in the NFL now, drawing massive paychecks from at least two different teams. He may even still be getting some back-alley kickbacks from Seattle at this point - wouldn't put it past him.

At least with Wilson, he actually proved he could play football, not be a distraction and take a team to a championship. His head had swelled quite a bit, during his endtime in Seattle, but he at least had the hardware to back it up.

Plus, he had like a 26-7 TD-to-INT rate in his last year in Denver. Maybe if the Broncos had hired a better coach in 2022, these discussions might be quite different where Wilson is concerned.

Jones should send Ed Donatell a box of steaks every month for life.

Point taken. It is a team sport and it always helps when everyone works together that way, especially the coaching staff.

Erstwhile, in Denver, the fans were getting not just a little bit turned off by all the hype the Broncos engaged in with him, never once fielding him in a single pre-season game just to see what he could do after bringing him in. I get that he was the first stringer and you don't usually play them until Regulation, but he clearly needed a shake-down cruise. Practice analysis is never enough, especially for someone who was supposed to be set up as a franchise flagship player. Then signing him on a - what was it - 5 year contract or something before he threw a single pass in a regulation game? Talk about putting the cart before the horse! This all proved that the front office is just as complicit with the nonsense, particularly Jolly Old Saint Elway, with an ego several orders of magnitude larger than Tom Brady, who effectively ran that team into the dirt after Peyton wisely bowed out following his second SB win. I think he saw the writing on the wall there and not nearly the goofy grinning hayseed that some folks take him for.

Further, Wilson did tons of publicity and charity commercials and all kinds of stuff building him up to be this larger-than-life heart-of-gold-type action figure. (As a side note, Elway did this same very thing at around the same time while his team crumbled around him, enraging fans and nighttime sports shows, even calling for his removal from the team - something unheard of up till that point). While Wilson's last P2I stats with Denver were admittedly impressive (last year, mind you - his starting season that experienced all this B.S. hype he was 16 and 11 w/ 6 fumbles - not so impressive for someone of his alleged caliber), it never culminated in even coming close to a championship either of his two years. The hype vs. ROI was just simply unjustified.

I'm not nearly as vocal about these things with My Washington team, as they're still close to the bottom of the barrel, full of relative nobodies, still fumigating the stench of Dark-Heart Snyder, and the only direction they really have to go is up.

Minimal team success and maximum team epic fail.

The biggest issue was that Hackett was never really meant to be head coach, just Aaron Rodgers caddy. When that fell through, everyone associated with Denver was fucked.
 
Yep. Pretty much.

They were looking ... okay ... on Sunday night. Some glimmers of hope and short bursts of greatness in an otherwise mediocre contest (between both teams, really). It's still early, so there's always the cautious hopefulness there. I still can't get over the two safeties. That shit just isn't supposed to happen. :lol:

Much like Cousins in Atlanta, I wouldn't take too much away from a one game sample coming back from Achilles surgery.
 
Exactly. I've followed Cousins since his rookie year in Washington and I was disgusted with how he was treated by the front office there. He always seemed to have great potential in his early years. If he'd have been given a fair shake by literally anyone other than Snyder, things might have been different for him. We'll never know.

He seemed to do better at Minnesota for a while, but yeah, the jury's still out in Atlanta.

I watched that Quarterback show on Netflix and I'm rooting for him. He seems like a down to earth guy and I want to see him do well.

49ers looked good last night. Not great, but I think it will come as the weeks go on. Jordan Mason had a hell of a game, but I'm looking forward to when Aiyuk gets up to speed and that offence really is churning. Jets looked bad after that first drive.
