    No...Coming back to soon for seahawks week 4 pointless. Then 49ers week 5 should be an easy win for brissett no need to rush Luck back. Week 6 is when you will see luck which is first game against a division team which could very easily mean playoffs. I honestly would rather a losing season and a top 5-10 draft pick because this team needs to recover quickly from the grigson effect. Luck took a team that was way worse than the current team to AFC Championship Game. Luck makes a team that would be top 5 draft pick a 10+ win team. Draft is looking stacked at QB right now could easily make a top 5 draft pick into 2 first round picks. Very doubtful that happens if/when Luck comes back, but also doubtful this team has what it takes to go deep in playoffs. Draft picks are key to getting a better team sooner than later. Now that we have a real GM.

    Need him back soon as possible no game is a guaranteed win

    Hard to strike a balance between grading him realistically on a curve and dinging him for some of the basic QB mistakes he made. I almost gave him an INC, but that would have been a cop out.

     

    As for the quoted, I felt like he passed up a handful of chances to throw the ball deep. After a while, I thought he was a little too conservative, and even on the interception, he had a safer throw deep down the left side that he didn't throw, instead forcing it into double coverage. I wasn't really impressed with his downfield throws, would have liked to see him try more.

    Maybe those other deep passes wouldn't been a good idea especially if the safeties were over top he just have to get the timing right with the wr's it seems so far doyle and aiken are his favorite targets

    Dude, you just made me waste a good 15 minutes when I knew you were full of...er, wrong to begin with.

     

    I just rewatched every Card play on O. Palmer completed 3 passes on Melvin.  He wasn't targeted nearly as much as you think, but when they did he was spot on. They went after Wilson mostly.  

     

    Admittedly, he gave up a grievous first down on 3rd and 20, but he pretty much played a great game.

     

    If you don't believe me, watch the game again and tell me where I'm wrong.  PFF got this one right.

    No moore gave up that big play on 3rd down he looked totally lost

    I think Green is very raw, but asking him to play CB is smarter than asking him to play safety. Playing man up on one guy is much easier than asking him to cover the whole backside as a deep safety, reading the entire play and making decisions on where to put himself to make the best plays. His worst traits are play recognition and ball tracking, two key skills for a deep safety. The way our defense is run, we use SS/FS positions interchangeably, so its not like we can just use him in the box. If he cant do the deep coverage stuff, then he cant be a proper safety on our roster. He might learn these skills down the road, but for now I think hes a safer bet to just use his speed and stay on WRs like white on rice. He actually hasnt looked bad at CB so far, and if you consider he is learning and has a ton of room to grow, he might just be able to make it as a CB. I think he has a better chance sticking on our roster as a CB than a safety. 

    I don't know him playing man coverage one on one or even a zone coverage will be really hard for him all he would do in the safety position is not get beat deep which to me isn't as hard as trying to cover #2 or #3 wr all game long where he really has 0 experience at but we will see

    Thats fair. Id personally rather give Green the chance to prove his critics wrong. This is Melvins 5th yr in the league, hes had quite a few chances already, and if Green/Wilson falter, he will be waiting in the wings for his next chance. 

    Yeah but maybe melvin wasn't in the right system before well atleast his tackling has improved alot as for green he's too raw to play corner keep him at safety and use him on safety blitzes he has the speed he just can't cover

    I agree that Melvin played better than usual yesterday. But im not convinced that one good game means he will have continued success. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. I think he is a fine 4th cb, but id like to think our young guys have the potential to be more. Might as well find out while we are going through a rough patch anyway. 

    I'm not saying that he's that good either he just need to be more consistent and have patience maybe he can prove his critics wrong

    It'll be interesting to see what the starting lineup is for each team. Garrett may play because it's been 2 weeks and that was the diagnosis for his high ankle sprain. Coleman broke his right hand again. And the Colts injuries are well noted.

    No he won't be playing they said he'll be out for atleast 4 weeks or more

    Personally, while I agree id rather see Wilson over Green, if we are taking lumps with a young secondary anyways id rather see Green out there over Melvin. We know Melvins ceiling already, and its pretty low. Green is a few months into a position hes never played, and he didnt look terrible in week 1, certainly better than I expected. More reps could be all he needs. 

    Melvin actually played well yesterday he just needs to be consistent more
