Season 2024 Playoff Talk.

Good thing the Packers were smart enough to let Jordan Love play out his 5th year option instead of paying him $50m a year.

 

This could be the worst quarterbacked game in the history of the NFL.

 

Still looking like the only QB we should have taken over Tua wasn't available at 5.

 

Brady is embarrassed calling this game. He's literally disgusted lol

 

Not even close. There are so many that are worse, but one I remember seeing while looking up Ryan Fitzpatrick (because we decided to sign the guy) was this game:

18.2 rating, 0 TDs and 6 INTs lol.

No one in the SB era tops that in terms of TD:INT ratio. Some have thrown 7 INTs in a game but they had 1 TD.

Not only that, 10 others have managed 0 TDs and 6 INTs in 1 game since 1966 lol. Namath is one of them with a 6.9 rating in a 43-0 Dolphins win against the Jets:

The thing that separates Namath from all the others is he threw 6 INTs and 1 TD in 2 other games!! No other QB has done that lol.

 

I'm imagining Tyreek Hill trying to catch one of Love's many jump balls.

 

Playing quarterback on the road in the playoffs seems pretty hard. Nobody even played in -30 degree weather either. Very favorable weather conditions all weekend.

 

Lots of GB players staying warm in snuggies on the sidelines today. They're just not built for the cold.

 

The funny thing about that - they weren’t earlier in the year. They tailed off late in the season, culminating in this poor effort. Speaking of poor efforts, Jordan Love was awful tonight.

 

Oh, most definitely, even though some people don’t want to hear that.
I know GB lost a couple of guys in the secondary, who else have they lost on defense?

 

Who was the Jets defensive player that got his neck broken? Back in the late 80s I believe?

Add Sterling Sharpe to that list. I saw that game when he had his neck nearly broken as well, ending his career.

 

It'll be a repeat slurpfest from last year when Tua haters were cradling CJ Stroud. "That's what a real quarterback looks like" same $hit, but this time it's Daniels (who again, I like).
What these playoffs are telling me so far is that number one...It's difficult to win on the road. Hostile environment/weather plays a role. Number two...Love, Herbert, Hurts, Mayfield, Nix, Wilson...Darnold, Stafford. None of these guys are going to do any better here than Tua can. As we all know, the main issue with Tua has been his health. It's a legitimate concern, but he's far from done in this league. Resting him the last two games was necessary considering the unlikely chance we had at the postseason.

Burrow, Mahomes, Allen, and Jackson are the only quarterbacks in this league I would outright take over Tua. There are others that I'd be willing to trade Tua for, but the point is he's more than good enough to win with.

 

I know it's only one game and one season, but Daniels reminds me a bit of Dak Prescott. Dallas fans were ecstatic with Dak his rookie year: 104.9 rating for the season and a 103.2 rating in the playoffs. I remember telling them we needed more sample size. The guy fell off his 2nd year, and as the years went by showed he wasn't good enough to take them deep in the playoffs.

Same thing with Daniels. Yeah he played great: 100.1 his rookie season and 110.2 in his first playoff game. But I'm not buying it until he proves this multiple years.

 

What's your point? I sand by that statement. Yes Herbert played poorly in the playoffs, but Tua would not have done any better and any GM doing the 2020 draft again would still pick Herbert over Tua.

 

lol that's delusional. Tua has NEVER had a 4 INT game, much less 4 INT + pick 6, and you think he wouldn't have done better than Herbert? Herbert didn't just play "poorly", he played like trash yesterday in the most important game of his career.

You damn right there are GMs that would choose Tua over Herbert if we did the 2020 draft again. There are obviously GMs that would choose Herbert. But to still cling to this notion that Herbert is the better choice after yesterday means you don't really care about winning a SB with the QB you're picking.

 

Tua can't even stay healthy enough to get us into the playoffs despite having the best set of weapons of any 2020 QB, and also sucked in his lone playoff appearance. If I'm doing the 2020 draft again I would pick Herbert at 5 or trade down for Love or Hurts and more picks over Taking Tua at 5.

 

At least Tua didn't suck anywhere near as much as Herbert did in the playoffs. Being available to play in the playoffs is not a plus when you suck as much as Herbert did. Better if that QB isn't available!

 

At least 2 of those interceptions were not his fault, and he was getting pressured all game. He also has no weapons to throw to. Yes he could have played better but you can't judge him on one game. He played the whole season and threw just 3 interceptions.

And yes the majority if not all GMs other than Grier would pick Herbert over Tua. Just the injury issues alone are enough to make that an easy decision. Tu also sucked in his lone playoff appearance and he can't stay healthy to play a whole season.

 

Ah the excuses begin. There are no excuses for his play. You would never give Tua any such benefit, especially if he played like Herbert did. And saying you can't judge on one game is precisely the reason why you shouldn't judge Tua on his one playoff game. Also, with Herbert that's now 2 games, not one, in which he choked. Again, you have a double standard for Tua.

And no, the majority of GMs wouldn't choose Herbert knowing what they know now. I fancy it's probably close to 50/50 because neither has proven themselves, yet both have shown great promise.

 

Aaannnnnndddd there he is.

 

Yeah, first it was goalpost moving, now it's a double standard just for Tua, and only for Tua.

 

We need a name for this kind of blind love. Herbernon perhaps?

 

Tua has consistently been pressured having the least amount of time from snap to throw than any other quarterback in the league throughout his career and yet none of you folks have ever taken that into account for some of Tua's games, have you? It's the same mantra time and time and time again that Tua sucks.

Well Herbert got a taste of that on Saturday and we all saw how he folded like a cheap suit. The Chargers' offensive line did Herbert no favors leading to his poor performance...just as the Dolphins' offensive line has done Tua no favors his entire career here. So if you're going to apply that standard to Herbert; that the consistent pressure affected his play and it wasn't his fault, that same standard has to be equally applied to Tua otherwise your argument loses credibility.
