Game Day III – Dawn of the Dead

Well, dawn of the wounded. Still in Jersey at the field that torn ACLs built. We are down 10 starters, and possibly 11 if WItherspoon doesn’t go, but the Giants are down Barkley. We just have to win as many as we can in this easy part of the schedule and see who gets healthy once the Rams and Seahawks pay us a visit.

Don’t see how much more fucked up this year can get, but I’m sure it can. Let’s hope the injury bug ain’t as long-lasting as the COVID bug.

    Seattle wins. 2 out of 3 ain’t bad.

    Wow, the Lions beat AZ? Didn’t see that coming. I watched the end of the Seattle game. Prescott is another guy who doesn’t impress me that much. I know he compiles big numbers, but too often he seems to be situationally clueless.

    I see the Niners taking a hard look at the out in JG’s contract if he doesn’t really come up with the goods the rest of this year. I have less confidence in him now than ever, but I’d love to be proven wrong.

    Mullens probably isn’t a long term solution, but he’s a smart, competitive football player. He’s still raw, but seems to have a decent upside and is less prone to boneheaded throws. He certainly wasn’t perfect today, but he was pretty good given the circumstances. I wonder if he’ll get another shot next week. If I’m KS, I ride the hot hand.

    That Rams-Bills game was crazy.

    Yeah, I’d give Mullens one more shot.

    Mullens has a lot of ‘Favre’ in him.
    Tough, strong armed and competitive.
    Not to mention focused, and prepared to take a hit to make a play.

    Given the upside of his contract by comparison, I’d look to find a way to keep Nick aboard.
    Jimmy has not impressed me much in terms of pocket presence and arm strength.
    Nick wins those categories hands down.

      We have to figure a way to keep Mullens and that means pay him to be the QB of the future. He kind of reminds me of Garcia and he should only get better with more experience. the kid does have the it factor.

    Right, Winder. In the NFL these days, you are either paid starter money or you are paid backup money. If the brass hitches their wagon to BDM, then Jimmy G hits the road and Mullens gets a new deal. and the beater gets bumped to backup.

    Not burying Jimmy just yet, but really, Mullens looks much steadier in the pocket, is less rattled by pressure, and doesn’t throw the bonehead throws that Garoppolo seems to do once or twice a game.

    I wonder what will happen in Chicago long-term now that Trubiscuit has been benched. They took a little too long with that decision, but shit, da Bears are 3-0. Who’d a thunk???

    • Winder's avatar Winder says:

      I don’t think Mullens can replace Jimmy just yet but give him a 6/7 mil contract for a couple of years and then replace him. Jimmy is still pretty raw also and maybe he can shake some of those bad habits. He was pretty clutch in a lot of those games last year
