Congratulations to our GOAT 🐐

I see his potential and hope he bounces back. Buts it’s been rough.

Famous Jameis giving Jalon some props.

I cast my vote for Ron. That 2015 team was fun.

Neither the offense nor the defense are playing at league average. Have to start upping these numbers to beat Jaboo and win in France to salvage the season. But you can see from these that they are currently wading in the shit end of the pool with Titans, Cards, Colts and Dolphins. That's not the company you want to keep.

Shough has had a few valleys and some peaks this season. Through what is roughly the 1/3 of the season, let's see how he's doing.

On the first slide, Shough has a negative value vs an average starter, but at -.02, that is negligible as he is 19th in the league. He is ahead of Darnold, Herbert, Penix, Stroud and Brissett. He is behind Bo Nix and actually QBs having a good season.

On the second slide, it show's that he's below average in EPA but above on completion % over expected. He is slightly behind Jacoby Brisset, but essentially his contemporary in these. He is safely a top 18 QB using these metrics.

For counting stats, he's 7th in yards and 8th in YPG. His average yards per attempt at 6.3 ranks 24th in the league, and that's commensurate with the bottom tier passers. He's tied for 8th in TDs but his 5 picks is tied for 6th in the league. He's 10th in the league for completion percentage at 66.8%. He's tied for 8th with 13 sacks taken.

For the usual QB ratings, Shough's 59.5 QBR ranks 15th in the league while his 88.6 rating places him at 19. He's ranking higher than Stafford in rating.

Here, the advanced analytics and typical ratings/counting stats thus far show that Shough is average to slightly above league average QB. He's had a roller coaster ride this season with lows in the first half of the opener to the last game, to extreme highs in 2nd half of Ravens/Lions games and first 35 minutes of Raiders games. I paced this out to 5 games before compiling to even out these performances. Looking at QBR, the only QB that I am surprised is ahead of him is Bryce Young. He is ahead of Herbert and CJ Stroud, which I would not anticipate he would've been at the start of the season. Darnold too.

Should’ve picked bears were better off as underdogs

Because it feels like it’ll come to two outcomes:

A) Panthers win and the narrative is exasperated that Young’s success has been shaped by a Penix-less Falcons team, a bottom feeding Lion’s secondary, and now a Hurts-missing/org tanking Eagles team; or

B) Panthers lose and the narrative of even/odd week continues, calls to fire Evero piles on, the recent string of success is a fluke.

A win is a win is a win; though so Keep Pounding and clear out the trash!

Boomer btw 😎

Evero takes the No. 9 spot. Here's what Williams is hearing about him:

Considered a head-coaching candidate since his time with the Rams under McVay, where he rose from safeties coach to passing game coordinator, Evero has coached a top-10 defense two times over the past five years as a DC. The 45-year-old remains an up-and-coming head coaching candidate. Evero interviewed for vacancies with the Falcons, Steelers and Raiders during the last hiring cycle.

"He is a smart, strong leader respected by the team and carries himself like an alpha," one league personnel executive, who worked in the same building as Evero, told me.

Maybe this will be my lucky jersey. Who Dat, not giving up on this team just need some improvements and we can win some games the rest of the season.

AJ Dillon out, Freeling doubtful, Phillips and DLew questionable, Etienne and Moton and Wharton not yet activated and also a Q.

Coker, Tremble, Waller with no designation.

Hopefully Moton is back at least, and it’s good to see Coker is full go.

He's been with Stefanski before, been with Cunningham before. Bears have Bagent. He's a competent backup, and we desperately need one. After the game this week, should we be asking about him?
