    Well 2018 was a Pro Bowl year for Dak and 2016 he threw for 23 TDS and only 4 INTs.  
     

    i don’t even know what to make or where to start with your last paragraph 
     

    What you make of it is this:     In 2019 Baker had 22 TDs....and 3827 yards.  Which numbers are essentially as good or better than  3 out of 4 seasons that Dak has played. 

    Even in Daks  "good season"  the team only went 8-8 and did not make the playoffs. 

    Or you can make this of it:    I would NOT trade Baker's future for Dak's.    OK, sure, one was  #1 overall, and the under was an underrated 4th round pick.  Be that as it may.....I like Baker's chances, if we were just comparing those two.  But we can't just compare those two,  because you set the "standard" by saying Dak had  put together 3 GREAT seasons, meaning you were comparing him to the rest of the QBs in the NFL.     

    So,  2019,  Dak was second in the league with most passing yards.    He was 4th with 30 TDs.

    In 2018   he was  15th  in passing yards.  He was  16th in TDs

    In 2017  he was 16th in passing yards.  He was 14th in TDs

    in 2016 he was 19th in passing yards.  He was 16th in TDs. 

    These stats tell us that statistically, he has been a middle of the road NFL QB.   But...he may be getting better, since this last season was by far better than his previous 3. You may want to throw in some other stats, don't know if that will help.   He has had good, low Ints.  percentages  (does that mean he is cautious)  He is having a "great-ish" career....for a 4th round draft pick, I will grant you that.

    He (Baker) had 21 INTs I think you and I value different qualities and stats with our QBs

    there is no use arguing anymore.

    I said that was Baker's one drawback.   

    On the other hand, it may be indicative of Baker taking more risks, and Dak being a far more conservative QB.

  • Cool having the home opener on primetime 

  • So much for the rumor that they were going to put all the non -conference games in the beginning of the season. 

  • Would rather have played the Ravens in a couple of weeks, after we have a few games under our belt. The flip side of that, of course, is that they won't have any game tape to watch of us, and we will be a larger unknown than they will be to us.

  • So much for rumors like "all the AFC/NFC meetings will be in the 1st 4 weeks".

    Tough opening turnaround for us with BLT on a Sunday then hosting the Bengals the following Thursday nite.

    Also gets a little crazy at the end with 3 games in a 12-day span... hosting BLT on MNF than at NYG and at NYJ.

    In Coronaville? I don't think so.??

  • Mid December Monday Night game vs Baltimore will be a tad nipply. 

  • Ravens with time to prepare (we should know Lamar by now but still). Week 1 maybe catch them off guard.  They will be seeing new Browns schemes. 

    Burrow second start in the Pound Like that too.

    Redskins at home. Yep. 
     

    great shot at 3-0. 

    Brutal stretch after the bye but three of those at homes.

    Tanking NY teams at the end.

    Beat the Steelers at home to seal a playoff spot. 

    this could be the most favorable schedule in a long time

    Like they always say "on paper" is 50% wrong. But if this team has their sh-t just a little bit together, you see 10 wins, or more.

    Bengals will be a mess. W. No rookie QB wins vs. any semblance of a team. 

  • My theory is just go out and kick the Ravens ass opening day.  Why the hell not?

    The Bengals will be improved due to a great draft and being very active in FA. I'm simply pointing out that a short week dos not help us. All we need to add is more of the overconfidence like that you are willing to supply.

    As for rookie QBs... Roethlisberger would beg to differ. Also Mahomes... Jackson... Marino...

    I think they are going to be ready for Lamar in Week 1.  And I’d rather catch the Rats cold then get them when they could be rolling. 

    Yes. I see 10 wins. 

    Looking back last season the schedule was brutal.  You had a very disciplined And physical Titans team right out of the gate- even at 8-8 the year before it was a tough matchup.  Then all the Primetime games early in the year.  A cross country Monday Night roadie.  The saying if it doesn’t kill you it only makes you stronger well it killed the team (along with other things too).  
     

    This season they have the bye week smack dab in the middle before a tough stretch.  Hopefully they’ve  got some wins and confidence (In what we do) under the belt headed to that stretch. 
     

    if they are at 7 wins going to New York I like the chances.  They can win out and sit at 10-6.
