    Does it really bother you that it's temporarily displayed on the website? 


     

    Yup.  
     

    It bothered me when they let Leonard Stephens wear 49. 

    “       “          “       “       “    contemplated letting Shane Matthew wear 9.

    “       “          “        “       “    contemplated letting Danny Wuerffel wear 7.

    ”       “          “        “        “    seeing Dwayne Haskins wear 7.

     

    So it certainly bothers me seeing  28 listed on the active roster.  For anybody.  It’s disrespectful to arguably the franchise’s greatest player.

     

    It also bothers me that a multi-billion $ organization ... struggling to win back its fan base ... can’t update a simple roster with nearly week old information.

    Rookie QB or Veteran QB for "Next Season"??? (I didn't bump this, but I ended up being wrong anyway....)

    QBR isn't a metric that isolates a gunslinger stats like YPA and just ranks QBs that way.  Though YPA is seen as a positive metric as it should.  The reason why that stat has surpassed the QB rating metric is because it dives deeper into the context of the spot -- its not a shallower stat.

     

    I am probably one of the bigger Fitz fans here.  But did it even cross my mind that he's a top 5 QB because he ranked that way last year or even a top 8 QB based on the QBR rating the year before?  Nope.  But i do think it indicates he played well.  On rare occasions, you'll see a QB that will floor you that they had a high QBR rating but its much more uncommon than common from my recollection.  it's usually some bad QB who had an anamoly season.  the top rated QBS as for QBR are typically really good and I don't think that's a coincidence.  The fact that Fitzpatrick is the one odd duck QB in that top 10, isn't some odd coincidence either IMO. The QBR rating in 2018 had him ranked 33.  It speaks to Fitz's rise that some think is legit and others think is a mirage.   I am betting its legit.  But who knows.  Will see. Ironically Fitz actually had a good QB rating in 2018 but not QBR.   So factoring context the QBR metric wasn't friendly to him that season.

    ... we had young back ups who remained young back ups and never saw the field. The coaches preferred to play these known quantities even if they've only been on the team for a week instead of the pups who'd been here for the offseason, preseason, etc.

    ... part of the reason young guys didn't get a chance to develop could be rooted in self preservation and self interest by gruden and Allen for years.

    If young players were not playing, there is a good reason. They were not good.

    This is how I see it as well. And the few young players we did play weren't great. Who remembers Ryan "I fall down every other snap" Grant?


     

    You’re all correct.

     

    The common denominator was the combination of incompetent drafting by the previous front offices ... and poor player development by the various coaching staffs ... which led to constant patchwork roster management.

     

    Teams with sustained success ... ****sbugh, Baltimore, N.E., Andy Reid’s teams ... do all 3 very well.

     

    We are (hopefully) starting to see this model of solid drafting/player development/roster management with Rivera’s Football Team.
