MONDAY MORNING QUARTERBACK

Wouldn't be much of a 'Monday Morning Quarterback' thread without a little Monday Morning Quarterback shout out to Daniel Jones. Gettelman must be breathing again and getting some color back in his face by now.

 

I guess we're talking about a different Kaepernick. In his last 20 starts:

4 wins, 16 losses 59% comp pct 192 yards per game 1.1 TD per game .45 INT per game 36 rush yards per game 3 rushing TDs

 

Miami Dolphins 7-12 in their last 19 games. The 3 games this year are abominable. Disagree? 1 winning season in the last 10.
Kap couldn't do the Dolphins any worse than where they are at the moment. Looks like we're onto something here. Perhaps... a perfect murder.

 

They are trying to be in position to get the first overall draft pick. Why would they want to try and win a game? There’s a certain QB they want to draft. You didn’t see that they traded away their best players.

 

What he said ^^^^^.

 

Well I thought he would need to put up 35 for a win -- I was close. 32 points and a come from behind win in his first start as a rookie. (Though if Tampa didn't miss 2 extra points and a game winning field goal 35 wouldn't have been enough...) A lot to be excited about -- even for someone like me that thought taking him #6 overall was wildly over rating his talent. I am cautiously optimistic that he can continue making me look stupid. I will also have to go back with my notes and his film and critically evaluate what I saw that doesn't appear to be true.

It's entirely possible that I just blamed things on him that were not his fault because the talent around him was so very bad.

I told you that you would win against Tampa. You didn’t even need Barkley to finish the game. I’m afraid you guys may have just found the next Brady.

 

A couple things come to mind.

Regarding Jones, it will be REAL interesting to see what he does for an oncore… I'll be tuning in. Sterling Shepard looked like he had a real good chemistry with the way Jones throws.

Looks like a youth movement in place and I hadn't thought of that till now. 20 QB's that had game action this weekend were 26 years old or younger (according to yahoo sports and reported by Fox Sports)... I found that kinda surprising and interesting.

 

And then you have Brady who’s old enough to be their father

 

Nothing says talent like a guy that completes 59% of his passes for his career......

 

It’s hard to find starters in the NFL tha here that low of a completion percentage.

 

It didn’t take much of a lip-reader to see that Bears coach Matt Nagy had a sharp message for quarterback Mitchell Trubisky Monday night.

It’s also clear it hit its intended target.

ESPN cameras zoomed in on a sideline interaction between coach and quarterback in the second quarter, and Nagy clearly said “. . . [something] the f— up.”

Whether the first obscured word (move your arm next time, assistant coach Dave Ragone) was “man,” “step,” or “shut,” doesn’t matter as much as the delivery, and the fact that Trubisky responded appropriately. Two plays later, he threw his first touchdown pass of the year.

“That’s what you want from your head coach,” Trubisky said, via J.J. Stankevitz of NBCSportsChicago.com. “You want passion, and it wasn’t anything malicious. We were just on the same page and we were getting fired up and we were just communicating and he definitely got his point across and I love to see passion out of my head coach. When you get that and, it’s really a non-issue, it’s not a big deal at all.

“It really didn’t — I didn’t even notice it at the time. We were just communicating and we ended up going down and scoring at the end of that drive, if I remember correctly, so no big deal at all and I love to see that out of coach Nags.”

Nagy has challenged Trubisky on the field before, and was fortunate that this latest example worked out as intended on national television.

“See, he made a good play,” Nagy said with a laugh. “He made me look good.”

And all it took was getting his attention by using one of the magic words you can’t say on TV, and Trubisky getting the message.

 

I think I was asked about winning football games with a newly signed backup QB. I didn't say that he could drive their tank.

 

Probably not qualified to drive a Sherman tank anyways?

 

Probably more of an Abrams guy.

 

Miami’s tank is unstoppable

 

Miami has the bye then the Redskins. Here is the real test.

 

Anyone else betting against the Fins during their bye week?

 

I heard the Bye is 22.5 point favorite
