Quote from: BluesCruz on December 28, 2023, 01:11:20 PMGame victories and Passing TDs put DeVito ahead by a mile....just sayin. also as a rookie his ceiling is undefinedNope, DJ had 24 TD's his rookie season and a 5.2 TD % compared to DT's 4.5%.The Eagles were on their way to shellacking TD in an embarrassing loss. He surely would have lost the last two games. He can't stand in the pocket and deliver a pass because he's too short so he's forced to the sidelines. He can't hit Jalin Hyatt deep because he needs to set up perfectly to throw a deep pass. He missed several open receivers this past game because he holds the ball too long just like Jones. He's more agile in the Pocket but he's slow-footed compared to Jones who had 1900 yards rushing and 13 Touchdowns to add to his passing TD's.
Quote from: T200 on December 28, 2023, 10:40:32 AMGood points. I didn't consider the amount of games Fitz started. I was looking at it from the standpoint of both of them coming in and giving their teams a shot of adrenaline. Tommy's shots wore off faster than Fitz'sFitz, the Buster Mathis of QB's. Great for three rounds and then fizzles.
Quote from: T200 on December 28, 2023, 10:08:39 AMDaboll's shine has definitely lost some luster but I see no signs of him losing the locker room. This offseason and his coaching staff decisions will be key to his bounce-back or flop next year.I could see at the end of the second quarter, effort waning. If he left Tommy in, it's very likely it would have continued and he may have lost the team. Benching Tommy was the absolute right move at the time. It showed his team that he will do anything it takes to win. I also believe that if DJ hadn't gotten hurt and didn't improve his game, that he would have been benched and Tyrod would have gotten the next start.
Quote from: T200 on December 28, 2023, 09:58:23 AMEveryone is concerned about their job.Additionally...Some will play not to get hurt. Business decisions.
It was discussed a month or so ago about draft position versus trying to win games in a lost season. Only fans are concerned with draft position. Coaches and players care about winning. Why would a professional athlete who gets paid to play and win games willingly try and lose for the team to be in a better position to draft younger players who may eventually replace them? It's an asinine proposition at best. Additionally, many contracts contain incentive clauses that allow the players to earn more money based on performance triggers.
The bottom line is that players want to win. Period.
