**Monday Night Football - Vikings at Bears**(+1.5, 43.5) 8:15 (9 Viewers)

[Penguin]

These teams have some work to do. The QBs aren't ready for prime time just yet.

Was it Bill Parcells who said you need 30 starts to truly evaluate a QB?

Yeah he had 3 criteria I think. 30 starts in college, 70% completion rate in college and I can't remember the 3rd one.

Nevermind, my old azz was way off...

Bill Parcells had a seven-rule "Tuna Formula" for scouting college quarterbacks, emphasizing experience, winning, and maturity: a quarterback had to be a senior, a three-year starter, a graduate, start 30 games, have 23 wins, a 2:1 touchdown-to-interception ratio, and a completion percentage of at least 60%. These criteria aimed to identify a quarterback with leadership skills and the ability to perform consistently under pressure, reflecting a belief that extended success in college was a strong predictor of NFL success.

Here are the seven criteria for the "Parcells Rule":

1. Senior Status: The player must be a senior, indicating the maturity and time needed to develop as a professional.
2. • College Graduate: Parcells wanted players who took their responsibilities seriously enough to earn a degree.
   • Three-Year Starter: He looked for quarterbacks who had proven their success over a significant period.
   • 30+ Starts: This requirement further emphasized a quarterback's experience and ability to be a consistent leader.
   • 23+ Wins: The criteria prioritized winning, suggesting that large passing numbers must come in the context of team success.
   • 2:1 TD-to-INT Ratio: A strong ratio of touchdown passes to interceptions indicated a player's efficiency and decision-making.
   • 60%+ Completion Percentage: A high completion rate demonstrated accuracy and reliability with the football.

I swear I can smell Berman through my television.

It's not a pleasant smell.

 

[Desert_Power]

Wasn't sure they'd still be bringing Berman out for this. Nice.

 

[ProstheticRGK]

I swear I can smell Berman through my television.

It's not a pleasant smell.

Pastrami, Just for Men, Sildanefil and Tiger Balm?

 

[WhoCares]

This McCarthy scrub is really gonna end the game with only 15 attempts while having a top 2 WR and playing against a Bears D missing key secondary pieces?

Embarrassing

Old Spice is not what it used to be 50 years ago

Better or worse than last year's all over deodorant lady?

Embarrassing

There's a reason some organizations never win a Super Bowl.

With a dash of Sex Panther

 

[The Gator]

Nice?

he's the reason i watch rick and morty at halftime

He needs to take the mannings and walk off in the sunset

He was great several decades ago. But then that was pre-internet.

 

[TheAristocrat]

Ben Johnson getting out of that interview like his wife was staring daggers into his soul

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Embarrassing

Maybe they unleash him in the 2nd half.

 

[karl.Racki]

Caleb picking up where he left off

 

[kupcho1]

How far down can one adjust the over/under?
Asking for a friend.

 

[fred_1_15301]

Ben Johnson has the look of someone who made some regretful choices in his life.

I was going to do Under 17.5, but I am worried one of the QB to drop a snap and kick the ball out of the endzone

 

[timschochet]

McCarthy hasn’t looked good but his o-line hasn’t done him any favors.

 

[Penguin]

And we were all worried about Jefferson's hamstring possibly torpedoing his season

 

[TheAristocrat]

Weak sauce roughing the passer calls. Man, I missed this game.

 

[GrantK]

Horse **** call...

 

[karl.Racki]

Aaron Jones running like he gained 330 pounds in the offseason..

 

[timschochet]

Yikes

 

[TheAristocrat]

Nice TD toss by JJ

 

[fred_1_15301]

Ben Johnson has the look of someone who made some regretful choices in his life.

Speaking of a guy who has made a regretful choice. Punting on QB and taking Caleb as my 1 and only QB might not have been wise.

 

[Penguin]

Finally, JJ's 1st TD

 

[karl.Racki]

wow... was that a terrible throw

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Oh

 

[JoeJoe88]

Yikes.

 

[kupcho1]

He's turrible

 

[Dez]

Maybe should kept Darnold

 

[ProstheticRGK]

I think McCarthy would orobably take that one back if he could.

 

[kupcho1]

I just want to say that reading and participating in these national game threads can make even a ****ty game enjoyable.

Great work @Ministry of Pain
When are they going to put you on staff?

 

[McBokonon]

Embarrassing

Maybe they unleash him in the 2nd half.

Maybe they tell the kids they took him to a nice family in the country.

 

[need2know]

Jj a bust

 

[karl.Racki]

Maybe should kept Darnold

FFS, I would take 62 year old Randell Cunningham right now

 

[Penguin]

This team went 14-3 last year?

Maybe call Seattle and ask for Darnold back, Milroe will displace him by week 8

 

[travdogg]

Great read by Wright

 

[jobarules]

He looks like he has liver failure

 

[SoBeDad]

I think McCarthy would orobably take that one back if he could.

Again, Aaron Jones made a nice blitz pickup and JJM had time - he panicked on the throw.

 

[Penguin]

He'd fail the psychological background check after that movie theater tuna incident

ETA: This is regards to MOP

 

[timschochet]

Good QBs have short memories.

 

[kupcho1]

McCarthy was out for an entire year for a torn meniscus?

That seems excessive.

 

[JoeJoe88]

Great read by Wright

I mean JJ telegraphed it pretty well.

 

[massraider]

That was same CB who was talking smack with Commanders fans, and tipped the ball to the WR on that Hail Mary from last year

 

[TheAristocrat]

Stepped right into that 1:1 sack

 

[BobbyLayne]

big night for the practice squad call ups

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Maybe should kept Darnold

The guy that went 16/23/150 yesterday?
