Matt Ryan's averaging a similar number....guess he's off to a blistering start too.
Flacco's averaging 308 ypg. Dude must be elite! :-)
GrBac was great with a great team in SF when he played, but the KC Chiefs weren't that good (A) and (B) Gannon was better. Marty should have played Gannon. Oh well...sucks for you guys. [Reply]

Being a turd with nuts is not any better than a squishy turd. Still a turd. [Reply]

If you watch the gams, you can see Wilson is not very good. He is nowhere near the same quarterback he used to be. One can easily see why Seattle was willing to trade him. He may be an upgrade over what u had last year, but that's not saying much. However, the price you paid appears not to be worth the marginal improvement at the position. Id bet if you were honest with yourself, you know that he is not the QB that you thought you were getting. [Reply]

The year I was talking about was while he was in KC.
And it may shock you to hear this, but we don't sit around thinking about seasons from 20+ years ago. We leave that to you guys. [Reply]

It sure did at the time, but that time is LONG GONE. It's GREAT for us now and SUCKS for you guys. With no end in sight! That makes me laugh! :-) [Reply]
Yeah, the traits that actually made him elite have eroded to near non-existent. Nowhere near as mobile as he once was and the deep ball is so bad it's actually good at times with how underthrown they are. [Reply]

I thought I was watching Teddy Bridgewater yesterday. I have seen RW miss some receivers over the years but yesterday took it to a new level. [Reply]

Something I've noticed, too: Russ' apparent tentativeness to tucking and running.
