Quote from: babywhales on May 03, 2024, 09:37:53 AMConspiracy theories are a sign of the times.
I do not think Mara directs the board. Sign off on a 1st round pick or big ticket FA is not the same as steering the ship toward one
Quote from: Jclayton92 on May 03, 2024, 08:20:08 AMI guess we are just ignoring that Devito got benched last year lol.
Quote from: WheresDayne on May 03, 2024, 07:26:43 AMIs this entire thread a satire?
Quote from: Jclayton92 on May 02, 2024, 09:16:58 PMHe only threw the ball 2 times beyond 20 yards the first 14 weeks of his best ever season in 2022.
Jones started 6 games in 2023, Devito started 6 and Taylor started 5 games.
Jones 6 Games started 33 10+ yards, 9 20+ yards, 1 40+ yard
Devito 6 games started 37 10+ yards, 16 20+ yards, 2 40+ yard
Taylor 5 games started 45 10+ yards, 19 20+ yards 4 40+ yard
For reference
Dak had 179 10+ and 62 20+ yards
Purdy had 167 10+ 72 20+ yards
Mayfield had 145 10+ and 60 20+ yard
So even if you gave Jones an extra game he'd still only average 27 which is nothing by comparison.
Jones yard per attempt was 5.7 while Devitos was 6.2, and Taylor's 7.5
For reference
Nick Muellen started 5 games and had a yard per attempt of 8.8 he also had 16 more passes than Jones of 20+ yards in 1 less game.
Easton Stick started 5 games and had a yard per attempt of 6.0 and he had 3 more passes than Jones of 20+ yards in 1 less game.
Clearly shows he has a deep ball problem and you can see in the same time frame both Taylor and Devito threw it deep more and bad back ups in the NFL threw it significantly deeper in 1 less game than Jones.
Quote from: GloryDays on May 02, 2024, 02:02:11 PMTommy seems to be quite under-rated because of his pre-nfl portfolio. I watched a couple of his games and I really think the kid has some special ability. He has a pretty good arm. He is accurate and throws some catchable balls. His pocket presence is excellent. He can buy time and hit the target running. If no one is open he tries to run or secures the ball for minimal loss. In the Washington game, behind that atrocious line, he was sacked 9 times, but was still able to throw some nice completions and win the game.
On the Jets game, I think, they tied his hands and he still almost won that game! He could have been 4-1, in 5 games with a lousy O line and average targets.
Quote from: kartanoman on May 02, 2024, 09:10:24 AMI think the "meh" season for the ages was 1996 with a lame duck head coach, an even more broken quarterback and a former super-star running back run down to the steel walls of his tires, and hardly a WR to throw to.
Peace!
Quote from: AZGiantFan on May 01, 2024, 10:09:58 AMMaybe he can team up Young Joka.
This makes me want to cut him even more.
Quote from: Gmo11 on May 01, 2024, 09:45:17 AMI could see Mara and Co. asking him what the hell are we supposed to do now? And in this scenario... there's not a really good answer to that question.
