Agreed
Probably not a guy that can dial it back and "settle down"
He is pretty jacked and amped, seems like a defensive guy who ended up playing QB.
Travis Kelce was like that when he came into the league. At the beginning of his career he was a first quarter monster that was nowhere to be seen late in games because he would come out on fucking fire, but would gas out or adreneline dump from being too hyped. When he learned to moderate his emotions is when he started dominating. Have a QB with that issue is a much bigger problem. Hope Levis can figure it out.

Agreed. Kelce is hte poster boy of moderating emotions

Ok, was reading a deeper dive on the Mahomes/ref flag controversey.

Apparently, since he came into the league, not only has he thrown 21 interceptions that have been called back by flag, by far the most of any qb in the league durign tha ttime, but he has also had 8 fumbles that were wiped clean by a flag. So that's almost 30 turnovers that have been negated by the refs in his favor.

Now...waiting to hear the excuse that he thought he had a free play so he fumbled

Look, you can either write your own check to the refs, or you can STFU.

And they STILL cant figure out how to use him...

Fucking hell.
He's a receiving tight end, that doesn't mean he's going to out-run DBS when you line him up like a receiver. THere's some brain drain going on there, or something

Yeah... last I checked, the point of offense is to create mismatches IN YOUR favor, not the defense's.

Yep and if they wanna use him on the outside then let him actually threaten down the field where he can use his strength and length to win at the point of contact. All these in breaking routes are not helping him at all.

Hes fast but hes not quick. Hes big as shit...no one is gonna be that quick almost. Hes gonna lose every battle to any CB on those routes as they can just beat him to the ball. Hes not given any time to build up speed or momentum.

Its kind of like Derrick Henry.

He's not quick... and if you get him before he's worked up to full speed, you have a chance.

If you dont get a hand on him for the first 5 yards, you're fucked.

I wanna say anyone whos past 5th grade science would understand this concept but I guess there is a reason why "Are you Smarter than a 5th grader?" was a popular game show.

It is amazing how terrible some NFL coaches are at maximizing talent.

We see it all the time on defense. Think currently with Kyle Van Noy. Wasn't anything special in Detroit... then he was a crucial piece in New England... then back to JAG status with the Dolphins and Chargers... and now back to leading the Ravens in sacks.

Sam Darnold.
Baker Mayfield.

Its just crazy how bad some teams are with this stuff.

He was solid again the year NE brought him back from the Dolphins. Wish they had kept him. Think it was a money decision.

The Jets are the kings of ruining QBs. Rodgers is too far into his career and ways for them to fuck him i would think, but anything is possible.

We have to officially put GOff in that category of QBs that were written off as Garbage that are revitalized with another team.
He's been a stud on the Lions

He got really beat up in the Denver game, 5 sacks and like 10 hard knockdowns

Wouldn't be surprised if he has season long lingering damage from that game, I think his new achilles leg got rolled up on by a defender making a sack.
