Look at the Titans after the first 6 games when Tannehill took over. They are a Top 5 offensive team. That has to be factored in, IMO.
What's really weird is that the in 2 playoff games, he's thrown for 150 yards total (and 3 TDs of course). He really hasn''t put up the gaudy numbers he was in season. He was still a primary reason they won though. Just kind of goes to show you that there's a lot of ways to win in the playoffs, but you need everything working together. Complimentary football as Ballard and Reich often like to put it.

I was interested in watching that. Do you really learn anything that we didn't already know? I guess the answer to that depends on how closely you followed the investigation/trial. But that's a big reason why I'm intrigued.

He improved vastly this season. Was it what a SB bound QB should be? No way, but don’t pretend to be blind.
Not sure what you were watching...at this point in time, he's a good backup and no more. He'll get his shot to show improvement, which I don't think his chances are good since he's had the same deficiencies to his game dating back to 2017. But you will get his chance since even if we draft a quarterback hes not likely to start at least to begin the season.

Take the a shot to the face like Nelson did on that play 99.99999 percent of the population would be on there rear.
Pfft, I wouldn't. But only because I'd be running towards the other endzone. Win-win?

You can tell me to * off all you want and your sarcasm did not go over my head. The only reason I responded was because you claimed it was sarcasm/half joking and then spend a couple more post explaining how your (half joke) is true.
But it pretty much boils down to you make a stupid comment and when people called you on it you get all defensive and claim it was sarcasm.
Keep crying, tell me to * off if you want, pretend your wit is at a high level, it really doesn't matter to me.
You have literally paid attention to nothing I've said. At all...

We have our QB of the future staring at us and that's J. Herbert. All we have to do is get him. That's where Ballard comes in.
I wonder where he goes? PFF did a mock draftin the last day or so where they had Herbert going to the Patriots while we took an edge rusher, AJ Epenesa (Iowa). I mean, it's a PFF draft, but still.

As if the very nature of sarcasm could not possibly be both half truthful and half exaggeration/joke. The only reason I was justifying anything at all is because apparently sarcasm is offensive to you or goes unnoticed. I explained it to others and they left it alone for what it was - a meaningless throwaway comment. So, if you prefer, next time my sarcasm goes over your head, I can juts tell you to * off if you want?
Like I said, I'm over it. It's not really worth wasting any more time over.

Any team losing their franchise pillar a week before the season is doomed from the start. I didn't expect a winning record and it really just put a damper on the entire season for me.
Can't really make any adjustments that late in the season, so Ballard (and Frank) really does deserve credit, for even getting us to 7-9. He traded for Brissett, number 1 and number 2, he had no options but to go with Brissett (even if he realy did know there was a good chance Luck would retire a month before he actually did). It sucks that JB just never proved he was anything but a backup QB, though.
I hope we find a franchise guy this offseason and return to playoff contenders the following season. I don't expect a rookie to start next season unless we draft someone that just catches everyone off guard. We'll see, but at this point, Ballard, Reich and Eberflus need time and some missing pieces.

The quote was gave up 0 sacks all year. Does that mean he dominated every single play... no, it just means he gave up 0 sacks all year and has not given up a sack in 30 straight games. The only thing adding anything more is you.
Where is Jskinnz when you need him. I will just reply with an, oh brother. Yes, Nelson getting beat on that play is why the Colts went 2-7 the rest of the season. Forget the fact that after JB went out Hoyer threw a TD pass to Doyle and the Colts went up 10-3. Forget the fact that JB said the knee wasn't bothering him. Forget the fact that he has the same issues before the knee injury as he did after the knee injury, forget the fact that the defense played incredibly up and down. nah, let's say Nelson getting pushed back into the pocket was the pivotal play of the entire season.
No one ever claimed the sack statistic told the whole story. It's funny though, even though no onle tried to claim the sack statistic told the whole story, you are trying to make it seem like one play tells the whole story. Can't have it both ways.
Good heavens. Apparently sarcasm is a lost art and indefensible around here. I'm honestly over this conversation and I'm sorry I said anything at all. I have said pretty much to everyone that I was only half serious, but tried to explain how the sarcasm fit in.
If you are going to be stone cold in your face serious about this, then I just could not care less about talking with you about it. You're taking this WAAAAY too seriously. Have a coke and a smile dude.

So the point was because he got beat on a play and the QB got injured he should not get credit for allowing 0 sacks in the last 30 games?
We're talking semantics here. I'm half joking that Nelson sacked Jacoby Brissett and it caused him to miss nearly two whole games and play with a compromised knee the rest of the season. But I'm also half serious that not having allowed 0 sacks doesn't tell the whole story. It's no different when people were pounding the table because Jacoby Brissett had "good passing numbers" but it doesn't tell the whole story.
Given how much everyone (and this is not directed only at you, but to everyone in general) seems to have torches and pitchforks pointed in my direction because of a bit of sarcasm, I get the sense that no one is appreciating the logic in an anecdotal remark. Yes, the guy has 0 sacks and overall, one of hte best guards in the league. Doesn't mean the dude doesn't have bad plays now and again, and I can't see how anyone could argue that that one play wasn't one of the more significant plays of the entire season. One which he was a huge part of. Before that play we were 5-2 and about to go up 10-3 on the Steelers. After that play the season went downhill. Again, not all entirely on one person or one play for that matter. But the JB injury, of which Nelson was responsible for getting destroyed so bad he was in a position to hurt his QB, was certainly one of the pivotal moments of the Colts 2019 season.
So I say again, 0 sacks, that's great. It also doesn't tell the whole story.

You're blaming Nelson for getting pushed back on a bull rush?
Yes. He blames himself also. I'm not negating the good that he's done all year. He's earned his all-pro designation. Doesn't changed the fact that "0 sacks allowed" is sort of misleading. Particularly when you get blown off the ball and shoved rolled into your quarterback's ankle and knee. That play might as well be considered a sack...by Nelson. The only reason it wasn't is because Nelson wasn't finished rolling on JB's knee before he got rid of the ball. That's why I made my original post with a bit of sarcasm woven through it.

Had his QB actually thrown the ball and showed anything resembling pocket awareness, that wouldn’t have happened. Two can play that game...
Well, can't really argue with you there. I don't remember it being unreasonably long, but it's not like Jacoby was a quick hitter.

Injuries happen, of course. But that wasn't the point.

Those things happen. Mahome's ankle got messed up too, you know, by his OL. Or are you referring to some other poster?
Not referring to anyone in particular, and being a little facetious. The official statistics may say that he has not given up any sacks. But that play might as well be tallied as a sack, and a costly one at that. Watch the play again. He gets thrown into Brisset. Just manhandled on that play. The only reason he wasn't credited for the sack himself was because JB got rid of the ball just a fraction of a second before he Nelson rolled into his knee.

Why did he play the last two meaningless games with a bum knee? I mean Frank said, otherwise.
As I said above, I was being a bit facetious. I personally wished they hadn't played him. Not that I really wanted Kelly playing, but there was nothing to gain by winning. Why risk it because you know he's going to be the starting QB walking into the season, provided we don't sign an over the hill QB hoping that we can squeeze out the last bit of good football left in him.

Alright, so it was Archie Manning’s fault in New Orleans then? Tannehill’s in Miami? Young in Tampa Bay? Come on guys I know it was a frustrating season but ya’ll are better than this.
The point isn't that he's to blame for the season - 2017 or 2019. The point is, the problems he had in 2017 are the same problems he's had in 2019 and shows little improvement. He still locks on to his primary reads and takes too long to decipher defenses. He's quick to check down. His long ball accuracy is just bad, but his accuracy in general is not that great. The problems he's had in college have migrated to the NFL and it was on full display in 2017 and then again in 2019.
It's not about assigning blame. It's about identifying part of the problem and addressing it going forward. And in the two years as a starter here without Luck in the picture, Brisset has made a better case to the Colts that he's just a good backup (meaning Colts should find a replacement via the draft) than he has made a case for himself, proving he is a legitimate NFL starting quarterback.

0 "sacks" allowed or getting bulldozed into your quartback's ankle and knee and forcing him to miss 1 week and play with a bum knee in a knee brace for the rest of the year....
Fresh Prince says, "What's the difference?"

Traits, scheme and fit all matter. You seem to suggest that because its a crapshoot, it does not matter when or where you pick a QB. That could not be less true.
You should grade prospects relative to the position, come up wiTh a draft board and stick to it. Not, "Oh, we should take a QB here, but it's a crapshoot, so lets go with an easier developing position. Thats madness and ignores the fact that no one is guaranteed success in the NFL.

Call me a bad fan if you want, but I want us to lose tomorrow. There is nothing positive that can come out of a win tomorrow. Noone cares if we are 8-8 or 7-9. The difference between pick 10 and pick 18 might be the difference between being able to get our QB of choice or not or a blue chip prospect or not....
Heck, I said the same thing as last game. Nothing to be gained. At 6-10, you're looking at trade up striking distance.
And DAMN hasBurrows looked unstoppable. Wame when he played Alabama. There is no chance we get him, I think.

What I notice is you couldn’t answer the question. I don’t have to defend them on anything unlike some it just a game to me.
I don't need to answer the question because, again, it mischaraterizes the issue and is irrelevant.
But since you're asking again, I'll answer anyway. Some teams still signal audibles from the sideline. McVay was known to do that which helped in Goff's sophmore season tremendously. The headset communications between McVay and Goff cutoff with 15 seconds pre-snap (by NFL rule). McVay would signal in presnap reads and audibles by hand. Adds even more weight to the argument that the Patriots have done this against more teams than just the Bengals. The information sought after was not readily available for the Bengals since they have a new HC.

Ok can someone please explain what you can learn from taping the sidelines anymore? Everything is called in via headset so no signals to steal.. (I am asking it seems like it is useless to do now..) but I love the over reaction of other fan bases.. of the Pats had notified the Bengals it be a non issue..
Everyone else loves laughing at Pats fans mischaracterize the issue and defend themselves by saying, "it's only a little cheat" and "your team cheats, too." It's hilarious watching Pats fans delude themselves to the point they have to legitimize their accomplishments....all six of them.

I think that's been obvious. But let's be honest, those three guys have each had a hell of a season.

It gives them something to do. How else would they earn a living.
I always feel like these guys couldn't ever just sit back and enjoy a player being great because they're always looking for the story. I mean, I'll never be able to say I enjoyed the greatness of Tom Brady (who's achievements are once again questionable) because I always wanted him to fail. But JJ Watt is still one of my favorite players in the league, and he's a division rival. I liked MJD and Andre Johnson (before his Colts tenure) back in the day, too. I'll never forget when he walloped that little punk CB in Houston. Courtland Finnegan I think. He was always a punk. Get his face mocked up and still talkin trash lol.

Yeah that's just blame everyone else for your problems nonsense. I'd be more apt to believe that if he just woke up in the middle of the night and shot whoever was in the next room over or thinking he was in a real live Amityville horror situation. Not a guy with a motive to kill and subsequently going through all this effort conspire to carry out the murder and then cover it up. lol.
Not saying you buy it, but just from the standpoint of, how naive do you have to be to believe that? Even if that's true, the medical knowledge on CTE is just not advanced to the point that anyone can confidently say that it causes some sort of paranoid delusional schizophrenia. At least not since I last read about it which was maybe a year or two ago.
