I am quickly tiring of the QB myth building lol...

Fitz and his beard, Heinicke and his sister's couch, Minshew and his prison bus...

Wentz is not an accurate QB (neither is Mahomes or Allen, though much better QBs than Wentz) let the dude gunsling, be a playmaker, and throw left handed passes

 

No, do NOT let him do that part in bold lol...

For the record, I think observing an hour of an 11-hour deposition is enough for someone to give their general perspective. Unless she just happened to come in during the only hour in which Snyder seemed truthful, I’d say it’s fair to assume it was a decent representation of how he more-or-less appeared throughout the questioning.

Listened just now to Fortier from the WP and Standig.  their take:

 

A.  First two days weren't good.

B.  The next two days started off really good but he didn't end either of those days good

C.  His criticis who bash him for accuracy look to be on the money from what they are seeing.  But you also see some killer plays from him that you aren't used to seeing in the past from the Qbs who have been here

D.  Be ready for ups and downs likely during the season -- a QB who isn't consistent but can make some killer plays  

E.  He holds the ball in their view too long and wonder if that leads to sacks during the season.

 

lol, hopefully the national media deosn't get wind of this stuff, they already want to kill him.  

 

But again, i try to live in reality versus what I want to be true so I am not doubting the reports that Wentz isn't that accurate, that's been the rap really from the start of minicamp on.  But two optimistic thoughts based on all of that.

 

A.  Let Wentz work out hopefully the kinks early.

 

B.  Seems like the rap on him so far is he's better in the quick game and going deep versus some other stuff.  So major in the stuff he looks good at.   

 

 

My only real hope with Wentz’s inaccuracy is that 1) it doesn’t start to get to his head, which might have fueled some of the decision-making issues I’ve always felt he had, and 2) it doesn’t lead to turnovers. His low INT totals seem to indicate that it hasn’t so far. 

That being said, I said earlier in the thread that as much as I’d like to think otherwise, I don’t see this year being the year Wentz proves his detractors wrong. Soooooo much more goes into being a good QB that helps their team win besides how well you throw a pass. That’s why the two QBs with the best w/l records over the last 4 years were a 47 year old QB hopping around on one leg and a Walmart greeter-turned-QB with a noodle arm throwing wounded ducks to receivers. There was a lot that both had to do right to end up with the records they did.
 

I will also say, though, that if Wentz guides this team to a 10+ win season this year, give Scott Turner an immediate raise lol…because if he can scheme up an offense that can throw up a 22-16 record with Wentz, Heinicke, and Smith with one leg dangling from his body, then that’s someone you do NOT want to lose.

I'm guessing you wouldn't feel that way if this Norton person, who actually happens to be an elected member of Congress and not some staffer, said something you wanted to hear 

Nah, Conn is legit in his consistency…he might say it with a different tone lol, but he would still bring it up.

On the accuracy issue, my question is are the balls still catchable? Because it's different to have catchable but not optimal placement vs just bad throws that aren't catchable. 

After watching that video, its “catchable but not optimal placement” only if we have an invisible 14 foot tall WR on the roster lol…

In case it wasn’t posted…

NASA said that?

 

That is Barnard 68, a gas cloud in our own galaxy and visible with a backyard telescope under dark skies.

 

To take 750 million years to cross it you would be covering about 5 miles a day. A pretty leisurely pace.

Apparently they were talking about something called Bootes void(??) but used the wrong image lol…

Congrats to Kerrigan for a great career, and I'm so happy he decided to officially retire as a Commander/Redskin.

 

One thing though. This article says he finishes the team's official leader in career sacks.

 

I thought he was still 1.5 sacks behind Dexter Manley when he ended his time Washington and went to Philadelphia for one season (where he had no sacks, I believe)?

Weird that some articles show Manley with 91 sacks as a Skins (which would put him below Kerrigan), but Pro Football Reference gives him 97 (which would be ahead of Kerrigan). Which is it?

Sacks didn’t become a stat until 1982…Pro Football Reference includes sacks for Manley from 1981. No idea if it’s accurate or not since sacks weren’t officially tracked until the following year.

Ok, who is this?...mistertim? koolblue? lol...

I'd disagree too, but still, a punt is better than a turnover, which I think was his point.

A punt is a turnover lol...

NSFW words, but it's Jon Stewart...

Hello!

Did I mention how glad I was that we extended McLaurin?...
