Haha ya these young guys are going to find out real quick you cant make throws like that in this league. Off balanced falling back on your back foot and trying to throw outside the numbers. Ya you can cut that out of your future thought process of possible options going forward.

Ya it's no different than what he did in college. He's the most raw of the rookie QB's this year. So he's going to struggle a lot. But he's also way too talented. He has an elite arm. I could see him taking a Josh Allen type of leap by his third year.

Oh ya he's a project for sure. And ya totally worth a top 5 pick. Just way too much raw physical talent too pass up. Even if he doesnt work out, cant blame the Colts at all for taking a chance on him. Because ya if he does work out, youre looking at the elite of the elite tools for a QB.

Still having some growing pains

Bit of a miscommunication on the first drive between TLaw and Ridley leading to an INT, but other than that the offense has been pretty methodical, though this isn't the 1st string defense tbf

Some good, some bad from Anton Harrison too. Completely whiffed a block on Fowler leading to a TFL, but then handled a stunt beautifully on the TD pass

I keep saying it, but I think we're a year away from being legitimate contenders. I expect 10 wins and perhaps a divisional game, but if everything clicks right, maybe we bump up the timeline a bit.

Yasir Abdullah > K'Lavon Chaisson

Generational bust there, people talk about Reagor over Justin Jefferson, but Chaisson was taken 1 pick before Reagor.

I'm not impressed with the Cowboy back up O-lineman.

Something tells me the Cowboys are gonna love Deuce Vaughn!! Looks like a faster version of Robert Newhouse.

You would have thought after what happened the last 3 weeks of our season last year, that a kicker would be some kind of priority. Maybe Jerry never got the memo.

Place Kicker in the NFL is one of the hardest positions in pro sports. The anxiety and grip the top guys have is second to none...golfers can't putt with any kind of noise. NFL Kickers deal with everything - elements, huge DL charging them, etc.

I truly thought Aguayo was the messiah of kickers...and it all crumpled before game 3

One thing remains the same. As soon as things tighten up and the game becomes on the line, our lack of discipline always rears its ugly head.

I'd be happy if we can just find a kicker that's able to kick an extra point.

LAS VEGAS RAIDERS WIN! (YES PRESEASON) WOOHOO! HOORAY! :P! :)! :D!

EDIT: i'll take this result then if the situation was opposite/reversed. So our back ups/lines are better than then
49ers lines it looks like.

SportsCenter featured clips of Bryce Young being hit several times, noting he's listed at 5-10 and 204 pounds.

Then post-game, Young said it felt like football to go out there and be hit.

Hope he's not going to be hit too often, like Tua was last season.

Hits seem to have bigger affect on the smaller QBs. Also maybe Des are trying to intimidate and telling their pass rushers to make him feel it, that is not let up as much as they often do against other QBs.
