Get a GM, Schwartz as HC, convince Eric B to stay on. -
Game Day Thread ~ Commanders vs. Da Bears - Got Mauled By The Bears!!!

The D always starts off slow under Del Rio and Ron. Nothing has changed except Eric B. I'm sure Harris has seen enough no matter how this season turns out. -
Game Day Thread 2023: SUPER BOWL LVIII (58) ~ Chiefs vs. 49ers
Hooper replied to zCommander's topic in Around the NFL
Bill B is basically Ron Rivera -- if not worse -- without Brady. The Tampa Super Bowl was SO telling. -
The NFL is such a week to week league narratively -- it's hilarious. After two weeks, the media -- and us -- were all like WASHINGTON HAS THEIR GUY. Then last week happens and just like that, the national media has written Howell off. If nothing else, Howell shows why QBS not drafted high have it so much harder. They don't get nearly the same amount of patience, which only puts them under more pressure. Howell has played four games. At times he has looked fantastic, at other times he has looked far from it. Barring injury or more games like Buffalo, I think Standig is right. This season is about Howell. Don't make him play tight by saying his leash is short. If Ron goes to Jacoby, he might as well resign no matter what happens after the switch. He'll have admitted he can't pick a QB to save his life. Why would you give him another shot at it?

Carolina may have whiffed on QB and coach. -

Carr is a loser. -
It's so early it's almost meaningless, but CJ has shown he can sling it. Carr always looks like he is going to cry. And dude definitely spends too much time thinking how he is going to look before a game: long sleeve on one arm, oils up his arms on the other -- really short sleeve. Bryce is so tiny it has to scare Carolina fans.

Young is so small. And not crazy fast, doesn't have elite arm strength. Seems like great kid, but early returns are worrisome. Just doesn't look the part. We'll see how this post ages! -
Welcome to the Redskins Chase Young DE Ohio State
Hooper replied to Sacks 'n' Stuff's topic in Around the NFL
From a good source -- Chase and his agent are being cautious because he is a FA. They don't want him to get hurt before he gets paid. Meaning Chase is driving this delay not the team. -
He's played two games -- one was somewhat meaningless and one was week 1 of the NFL, when even veteran players are adjusting to the speed of the game. The expectations are insane. Almost no young QBs have been anything but up and down in their rookie years. Personally, I loved what I saw. His ability -- and willingness -- to drive the ball downfield is rare for young QBs. And his ability to bounce back from bad plays. And there are going to be a lot of bad plays because of his inexperience. I really hope Ron -- and Harris -- have more patience with Sam than the fanbase and media.

I feel like fans -- and it makes sense -- focus on their team while ignoring all bad offensive line play is around the league. We are no better or worse than most of the teams in the league when it comes to o-line play. And my God, Howell just played his first meaningful game and fans are already worried about him. One of the reasons guys who aren't drafted in the first round rarely succeed is they don't get a real chance. The narrative is they must not be that good or they would have been taken higher. So if they don't play very well right away, they get cast off quick. And almost no young quarterbacks play at a high or even just good level week in and week out. So it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. I watched all the games on shortcuts this week -- long flight, I had the time and wi-fi. Howell looked more than okay compared to a lot of the other young QBs in the league outside of Purdy.

The Game Prediction Thread - Week 2 - The Commanders @ The Broncos
Hooper replied to zCommander's topic in The Stadium
Tough place to win on the road. Howell is basically a rookie -- seems many have already forgot that. BUT I still like our chances this week. And it should be personal for Ron. Payton was openly talking about taking his job.
