2023 NFL Season Thread


There's always going to be systems that specific QBs do and don't fit. That's why the marriage between the QB's skills and the offense being run, along with the skills personnel and offensive line becomes either disjointed or unified. Russ Wilson is dying under the systems he's played in since he's moved on to Denver. He's the square peg in the round hole, and nothing will change it.

I think Wilson is being shown he's never as good as people made him to be. He was a system QB in Seattle that played well when he stuck to that system. Plus he had a shut out D so never had to win shoot outs. Also playing with a RB that was one of the top RB in his prime helped. Wilson got more credit then he deserved in Seattle and now it's showing in Denver were he's been asked to be the man.

I think Russ’ problem was that the best parts of his game never adhered to a system. He made his money by running around in circles 20 yards behind the line and then lofting the ball to someone who broke open. He had Lynch and smart, veteran WR. Now he doesn’t, he’s lost some physical burst and defenses just play differently. Not dissimilar to Rodgers when he hit that 2015-2018 lull in his career. I never thought of Russ as a system QB, if anything they were always trying to make him a system QB in Seattle and he wouldn’t do it.

From @NFLGameDay: This past offseason, #Patriots coach Bill Belichick quietly agreed to a lucrative multi-year new contract, sources say. That, at least, adds some context to the discussions about the greatest coach in NFL history.
 
sh)) the roster is a mess and the team is divided... doesn't make sense to me but....
 
BB is a has been coach. Kraft it seems is going to allow him to just coast along until he passes Shula for the most wins as HC then let him retire. That team is going to be a mess for years to come.
