Are you watching the game or just looking at the box score? His passes are tight and on the money, on the run, and tight spirals. The kid has only started 13 college games in his career so doing this, even against the 2nd/3rd Ds, in his first start as a pro is impressive.

Yeah, you're not watching the game. That's obvious. Watch the game actually being played before saying this nonsense.

Glennon's QBR vs. 1st stringers was 0, call me crazy but I think Trubisky would have eclipsed that.

As much as I was I impressed with Trubisky's first performance as a pro, we have to give Glennon a chance. Denver's 1st D is one of the best of the league and the O line and the rest of the Bears O didn't fare well either. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

For a guy that announcers were saying he was "known for his good decisions", Glennon didn't make any good decisions...

These two teams will be in major trouble if their QBs get hurt. Josh Dobbs is making a case for having himself cut.

Almost as much as I liked Johnson's pocket presence (or there lack of).
But yeah, they are both turds.

Hopefully you are watching the Bucs-Bengals because this Steelers-Giants game has been awful

It was a floater though, I'd rather see him gun it in with some touch instead of just lobbing it up.

Evans looks to be in midseason form, drops and all.
Martin handled the first series. He had a nice run up the middle where he spun off of a lineman and into the second level. He generally looked good.
Quizz was consistently breaking tackles and picking up yards after contact. I'm still amazed that he isn't trash.
Hill looks the same, like a one dimensional banger.
Mixon looks potentially special. I just don't know how the touches in this backfield are going to breakdown. It does look like he has the talent to dominate touches but I don't think it's going to happen at the onset.

Bray to Conley TD called back on pass interference.

Smith connected with Hill on a go route for 32 yards on the opening play. The DB gave him a free release, that was a mistake. There was another play where he burned his man but Smith didn't see him.
Ware handled the first series and looked like pre-concussion Ware from last year. On one checkdown pass he juked the #### out of a defender to pick up 10 yards. He punched it in from 2 yards out on the subsequent play. As I write this he's been targeted 4 times and has 3 catches in the 1st quarter.
Edit: It looks like Brieda is getting work ahead of Williams.

Hill looked good for the bengals, he will limit mixons upside.

I agree, but there is always a pre-season overreaction based on every game. He didn't bust out, but looked impressive. That will give people confidence.
I've taken him at 1.01 in a couple dynasty leagues. He'll be a consensus top 10 dynasty player this time next year.

I watched the first half including all of the New Messiah (tm).
He looked great. Athletic. Accurate. I've seen similar performances in pre-season from Geno Smith and Ryan Mallett.
Pointing out context is hardly "nonsense". Nonsense is elevating this young man to Canton for doing his job adequately.

All of Mixon's touches from the first preseason game. I'd suggest muting the video because music is ####.

No one said anything about HOF for Trubisky at all in this thread. Basic knowledge of the game shows that he had good footwork, and went through his progressions last night.
This is basically what the community on this thread who saw the game are saying, nothing more.

I was only able to watch a couple of Chiefs drives in the third quarter, but I think Mahomes looked good.
Isn't that always the case with youtube highlights? I'd actually say that track was relatively benign compared to what I'm used to...

? WTF does that even mean?Zyphros said:
Yeah, nice TD pass... I'd just prefer if you did it a different way?
Zyphros

The ball didn't dive down into the players hands, it floated up and sat in the air. That's what I mean. You know how coaches talk about deep balls and they have to tail into the players hands? That's the throw I'm talking about. Not a big deal.
I thought Watson looked pretty solid but my big thought on them in general was that this QB class might have been severely underrated.

Watson's throws seem to flutter/float.
Like what I've heard about his low velocity by scouts/draftniks.
King of the Jungle

I agree completely. In fact for whatever reason this is my favorite class that I can remember. Maybe not elite prospects but there are a ton of guys at positions that I feel will contribute for a long time. I also love the QB class and I think it will outshine next years prestigious class.

Let's not get carried away...pretty much every NFL GM disagrees with you here.

no thanks.first, Hill is hanging around and not going anywhere , and u have games vs. pitt balt and improving browns d.also packers texans and a murderers row in fantasy playoffs with vikings d, bears improving squad and the steelers.
If Im drafting a backup RB with starter potential Im taking Joe Williams or Kareem Hunt or McCaffrey or Bilal Powell any day instead of Mixon, all of whom have far less competition ahead of them...

His feet were not in correct position on that play and he didn't have the ideal grip on the ball. They should have taken that td back.

I am just saying that I love this class. I am not a GM....so I could be wrong. Historically GMs have also been wrong though. Time will tell.
