Quote from: MightyGiants on Today at 09:16:25 AMThe part in bold is where we see things differently. I don't do absolutes like "regardless of circumstances". I always factor in circumstances when I evaluate anything in football. Evaluating without considering circumstances is akin to taking a quote out of context, in my opinion.@kingm56 just the other day posted multiple examples of Qbs playing at an elite level despite having one of the worst olines in the NFL but we are supposed to give Jones a pass that he looks worse than most of the backups that started at some point last season in the same scenario.
Quote from: Jclayton92 on Today at 09:13:17 AMI didn't say they don't. A backup or any backup should not look significantly better than your 40 million dollar qb regardless of the circumstances and not one but several backup Qbs did this past season.
Quote from: MightyGiants on Today at 08:02:23 AMWhy did you ignore the 7th receiving targets versus the 32nd receiving targets? Do you think that receivers don't improve a QBs production? If not, why do you think WRs make so much money?I didn't say they don't. A backup or any backup should not look significantly better than your 40 million dollar qb regardless of the circumstances and not one but several backup Qbs did this past season.
As to your point, 32nd is unlimited bad. We have clear stats that show the protection was significantly worse in terms of percent of pressure and time to pressure under Jones, and even with the improvements after Jones, they were still last. Even adding a healthy Andrew Thomas and Pugh off his coach didn't move the Giants off 32nd in pass protection.
So why do NFL teams spend so much money on receivers and offensive linemen if things like pass protection and receiving targets don't make a difference?
Quote from: MightyGiants on Today at 07:52:52 AMThe Giants had that high-risk option with the 3 QBs they passed on in this draft.
Quote from: DaveBrown74 on May 07, 2024, 08:04:10 PMIt is somewhat subjective who the five best receivers are, but I'll take a crack at it.
For "fast" I will use less than 4.45 on the 40. I think that's a fair cutoff for this position.
Is each of the below players fast?
Tyreek Hill (4.29): Yes
Cee Dee Lamb (4.5): No
Amon-Ra St. Brown (4.61): No
Ja'Marr Chase (4.38): Yes
AJ Brown (4.49): No
2 yes, 3 no.
