Capers is a bad DC and definitely needs to go. I'm not convinced BH should be a starter, after his last game there was nowhere to go but up. He took a step forward, but after 3+ very bad games? Let's not forget before his last game he had 2 TDs and 7 INTs. And still is not completing 60% of his passes.
He’s also at the very beginning of his playing career. I’m not saying Hundley is a future hall of famer but the position he plays is one that takes some time to master. The guy is still working through the learning curve.
Exactly, this is what is going to define if Hundley stays in the league or doesn't. He has the tools to play the game physically, but he has to go thru a learning phase. To save the season it needed to be shorter and less steep than what it has been for him, but it's different for everyone. it's unfortunate for our season, but sometimes these are things that just have to happen and they're rather unpredictable how an individual player is going to learn and react to every scenario in a live NFL game. And please, nobody mistake the mistake of thinking i'm comparing the two in any other way than early career stats aren't always indicative of future success, but Peyton Manning had 3 TD's and 11 INT's his first 4 games. It's a tough position. There's a lot to process. He showed some growth the last game, now the question is to see if he can sustain or take another step. My guess is there are still going to be rough patches. But if he keeps getting up and working, he has the physical tools to make it. I hope he does and it doesn't even matter if it's soon enough to save our playoff hopes. To see a kid struggle like he has and then come thru the other side? well it's probably one of the most important lessons one could ever hope to learn from sports.
and it sounds nice in theory, but I look at a list of experienced vets that were available and they either cost quite a bit or they do not have the skills passing or moving that Hundley has or worse yet they were more expensive and have less skills. I will never argue that having a guy that can step right in and run the offense is a bad thing, but neither way guarantees anything.
Despite the intentional and obvious effort to prevent people from drawing the conclusion that I was even remotely comparing Hundley to Manning, someone goes and does it anyway LOL Congrats buddy, you're winning . don't give up now LOL
In that case, there’s no point in ever drafting a QB, just pickup the retreads and proven failures that other teams have groomed.
No offense taken. That comment was for point of emphasis.
But I am happy that he showed progress.I'm not ready to declare Spriggs a success, Don Barclay and Jeff Janis tainted me for doing that.
Okay, you posted something about PM's stats for his first 4 games in a direct comparison to BH's start, but you weren't comparing the two? Whatever, not worth the argument. I was stating NOT to become a believer after 1 good start. I personally (maybe not everyone's opinion, and that's fine) believe he will have more bad starts. I hope he won't because outside of a few matchups, the competition is lacking. I have no delusions about this team. The defense is lacking and our running game is hit or miss (miss most of the time). BH's home stats are really bad, not to mention his last home game was full of turnovers and a shutout.
I think it would be a bad idea to sign Burnett to a 5 year contract. I think it’s likely the team moves forward with Jones (who I think is the next Burnett and was drafted to replace Burnett), Dix and Brice next year. I expect either a ball hawking free safety to be drafted, picked up in free agency or Randall moved there (which would be coupled with a couple more CB’s to be drafted). That is what I am expecting to see.
