Apparition

Maye has played like 10 snaps in a mop-up role. Chill.

Daniels has looked very good, but let's pump the brakes a little. It's only been 3 games.

Wonder how this thread will look in a year, when the Jags have hired Bobby Slowik and he gets TLaw to play like prime Rodgers.

AR5 is basically just 2019 Josh Allen. He'll look like *** for most of the game, but then launch a 60-yard TD into double-coverage that'll make everyone soyface.

If the Falcons don't want him anymore, he's welcome in New England 🥺

how do we end Mahomes' acting career without him doing something that gets him cancelled altogether?

there's Rogue Trader

They're not going to franchise Darnold with JJMcC waiting in the wings.

Definitely some questionable names on that list.

Miami, if Tua does the right thing.

Hard to pretend he's anything but underwhelming at this point. He could get better but it would require another coaching change, and a recognition that his success is going to be far more scheme-based than previously assumed. There's no shame in that. Brock Purdy is gonna become the highest paid NFL player in history, in all likelihood, and I wouldn't trust him outside the Shanahan offense. But TLaw is not who we thought he was.

Don't draft Alabama QBs onto bad teams.

Much better, but still not perfect. The adjustment made to his 1-2-X attack makes the fight much more enjoyable for anyone not using a shield or deflecting, but the bigger improvement IMO was to the pacing and sequencing of his attacks. He frame-trapped you so often in phase 2 that even going for a standard R1 punish with most weapons was risky. He also had the one clone spam attack that immediately followed with a sword combo, which was basically a matter of luck whether you could dodge it or not (especially with the frame rate issues that the clone spam can cause). 2 big issues still remain: The hitboxes on his stomp (particularly in phase 2) and on the golden shower aftereffects can be really wonky unless you're fighting him on the flat portions of his arena because of the way AOE hitboxes work in these games, so even if you dodge something perfectly on flat terrain, you can still get clipped if you're on uneven terrain. I'm honestly not sure how this can be fixed unless they just make the whole arena flat. Also, he will still use his gap closer attacks when he's not supposed to. He'll do Starcaller cry at point-blank range, and then do the AOE follow-up even if you dodge the initial pull, which means instant death in most circumstances.

In what sense? He's been solid the first two weeks. He had 11.5 sacks a couple of years ago. I'd say we know what he is at this point (solid rotational pass rusher).

Too many soft zone coverages in this game. Gonzo and JJ are both at their best when manned up, so I don't really get that.
