NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

And what is up with people saying, “Burrows”. I have seen many people call him that.

His name is Joe Burrow

Yep a star WR that won’t receiving a ton of targets isn’t helping him a ton. He needs to work on staying in the pocket and reading the field before he takes the next step as a passer. He has the perfect scheme around him to succeed as a runner and like we saw a year ago it can open up the passing but that will only last so long in this league...one year for him. He needs to improve a lot

The team is enabling that style of play by running that offense to his strengths without really challenging him to improve as a passer. As long as it works and the defense is strong, they probably won't change.

Dak should already be on the list but the injury kinda leaves a slight question mark.
Kyler regressed....could he, sure but I think that is the point of the list...he hasn’t.
Burrow injured and no OL.
Herbert, lets slow the roll. It’s one year.

The point is...right now none of those have. Future wise anything is possible. You can add Trevor Lawrence to the list if you want since we are talking hypotheticals here.

You can stick your head in the sand about the futures of these young QBs, but they're all considered better building blocks than Baker at this point.

I don't recall you "slowing your roll" after Baker's rookie season?

After the way he performed this past season, Baker may have the confidence to deal with OBJ. I think that before, he felt like he had to get the star the ball, so he would try to force it.

Without OBJ, he could almost play "point guard" and just concentrate on getting the ball to whoever's open, rather than try to force it to the same guy.

Now, he will hopefully have the confidence to tell OBJ to stfu and he'll get him the ball when he gets open.

They need to move Beckham it’s just not going to work. Baker has to be the alpha.

Former USC WR Nelson Algohor revived his career with the Raiders this past season.

Revived? He had pretty good years in 17 and 18 too. He did have a very nice season though.

2019 he was bad. That's why we got him on a cheap 1 year deal.

Revived means he rejuevanted his career.

I understand what it means...not a good example. He only started 10 games in 2019 he just made more big plays this year. Only 9 more receptions but he played in 5 more games

Career high in ypc. After 9.3ypc in 2019.

And he was a key contributor in their SB win but fell off after that....

A fellow Trojan texted me last night. Awesome news.

He had some decent ideas, but he had no idea how to implement them and he wasted a ton of money. Not to mention him being absolutely tone deaf.

Anyone else see the cringe worthy presser speech the Lions new coach gave?
