If you re-watch the game at any point, look at how much more he tries to throw flat footed and use all upper body. He was lucky there wasn't another INT or two to be honest. I don't think he will be good if he gives it a go this week...Lance needs to start. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldman9er Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Don't bother signing a temp placekicker. Just stop kicking FGs and go for all 4th downs. YOLO DGaF carefree wild-swinging season begins now. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, we can cut Jimmy for minimal dead cap at any point. His contract is not an Osweiler albatross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'll say that I also think that Kyle has seen enough of Trey at this point that he really doesn't want to play him. I think he was amenable to Lance running away with the job in camp, but when he saw where Lance was, just really wanted to park him. Likewise, Jimmy feels the heat and the last thing he wants to do is give Trey the chance to take his job now. Just baseless speculation on my part, of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was open to Lance being the starter after the first week or so in camp since he improved so much from the spring but he quickly realized that he wasn't going to be ready to the extent he needed him to be ready. I still contend that Shanny can draw up a game plan to still have success with Lance and win a lot of ball games. But he's going to have to start being more accurate on the gimme throws. And of course he mentioned the KC situation with Mahomes and I'm sure he wanted to follow that to a certain extent. If Lance goes on Sunday, I don't think he will embarrass himself or anything. There's going to be rough moments with him like there has been with all the other rookies. Just have to live with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reason why Paraag never used Jimmy's contract to create cap space for the future. There's zero dead money in the books besides Jimmy's name. The plan was always to move on from him if he didn't pan out. When he did sign the biggest contract ever for a QB, it was never as big of a deal as it was made out to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if that was a playoff game? What if this was week 18 and we needed to win to make the playoffs? Every game means so much in this division. There is no room for this Everyone loves to mention Brady's name when they talk about JG - Brady played all of last season with a torn MCL. Kittle is playing with multiple injuries. Trainers couldnt tell him to take a seat, he wouldnt even let them look at him after that terrible hit he took. JG gets stepped on and doesnt push to play?? Ultimately it was his choice to not play the second half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately it was his choice to not play the second half. We don't know that he didn't push to play. All we know was that he was evaluated and they said that he couldn't go back out there. And I'm not sure that we would have wanted him back out there. If Jimmy can function at nearly 100% for next week, even if there is pain, I would expect him to push to play. If he's not close to being able to function at 100%, then he shouldn't be, regardless of whether or not he pushes to play. Kittle has missed time every year with injuries, so there definitely comes a point where he gets told to sit down and he does it. It's also a little disingenuous to compare the two playing through injury because of the variance in their importance. Kittle playing at 75% is far less of a hindrance on the team than Jimmy at 75%. I'm far more amenable to letting the former play at that level as opposed to the latter, and that should be the way the team feels about it as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N4L Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I know this tweet is critisizing ball placement, but its nitpicky. Trey threw the ball before Kittle was open, to a spot only Kittle could get it, right before he was going to get hit. That is NFL level quarterbacking. Adams made an NFL play on the ball. Trey is ready. IDC what JGs health is. Trey needs to start this week and we can reevaluate after the bye 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just flip Moseley and Azeez? They are on the same side of the field. I assume it's because this is meant to be zone, but he's talking about bringing players all the way across the formation which seems silly to me.
