He has no touch on his balls. He throws the same velocity no matter who he's throwing it too. He also can't throw any crossing routes.

They look really bad in some areas. I still think the OL will eventually be pretty good this season and I think the WR’s will put up big numbers.

From what I’ve seen of the RB’s they’re trash. Malik Davis actually looks like the best RB on the team and they’ve cut him like 3 times in the last 2 seasons, and he wasn’t on the team 2 weeks ago.

They may not have to tank for Manning, it may just happen on its own

It's still just preseason but..

Ngl, I'm a little worried about the Cowboys. I thought Schotty would make them a better running team. But they haven't displayed much physicality upfront. There should be a purpose to run the ball more.

Him and Anthony Richardson are going to be tearing up that league in 2-3 years

Danny Dimes is rumored to be starting Week 1

The only reason he wouldn’t start is because Richardson was a top 5 pick. And if he loses the starting QB battle in his 3rd year, that is pretty much the team saying they’ve given up on him.

Andrew Booth might've had his best game as a pro. Did you see that pick 6?

Booth having a random good preseason game is pretty much on par for him at this point.

He always has one good preseason game or like one good week at camp and people think to themselves “he’s going to live up to draft hype now!”

They look bad in all areas. Your being nice saying bad. I think the word suck is more appropriate. This product Jerry is giving us this year is pure trash.
If I'm Manning, there is no way in hell I want to come to Dallas. No way. Curse of Jerry has never been stronger.

Arch would jump at the chance to play for Dallas. The Manning’s have HUGE egos and they would love for him to play on the biggest stage.

That’s exactly what Joe Milton does too. When his receivers are open in the end zone instead of putting some air under the ball and letting the receiver go get it, he fires the ball as hard as he can trying to force the ball in there.

What about the D-line. Those guys can't stop a nose bleed and getting dominated by scrubs. They might be worse than last year's Bengals. :droop:

I’d love to hear your analysis on Jeanty after you trashed him after Pre season week 1. Any second thoughts or are you holding firm??

I love Jeanty, don't get me wrong. I just loathe that putrid franchise that drafted him. I hope and prey they don't ruin the kid.

Carroll & Spytek are more than capable. He'll be fine.

The DL looks really bad. Mazi looks worse than ever. Jay Toia looks like he can play but unfortunately he should be a backup 1-tech at best. Same goes for Donovan Ezeiruaku as an Edge. Having Fowler, Osa and Micah back out there will help a lot too. Overall I see the DL getting run on A LOT.

Bears/Bills is on Fox so maybe I'll watch a tiny bit of it.

I like the quick reads. We really didn’t see anything like that last year. No BS scrambling.

Bears DB went down with minimal contact, never a good sign.

**** it, I’m preseason overreacting: Caleb is back baby.

Trust me when I say this. As an ex college football coach, no names, the caleb situation last year was a Tua Brian Flores situation. You would be amazed how some college and Pro Head Coaches, have Zero idea in how to "HANDLE " and coach QBs. It truly is an Art. As everyone knows, these are the guys who sink a team or send the whole team over the top. Careers and paychecks depend on this person being successful.
It is a coddle, handle with care, play psychologist, yell at, instruct, encourage and Father figure type job needed, to coach the QB position. Or youll be hittin unemployment
For now, Ben Johnson seems to be headed into a good direction. Next week, another test
