After week 1, there was some media saying he was gonna be in the talk of MVP. Then that went away after week 2. Lol. I think right now he's gonna get the extremes from both sides by media.

For me, he's just blah so far. He's not making a lot of mistakes. But I haven't seen anything to make me believe he's gonna have a career year here either. Just my opinion bro.

Not only that Mac Jones was making the same throws Jameis was making and they said Jones was trying to make something out of nothing and he’s a warrior and sh*t like that and Jameis makes the same throw and it’s he needs to do a better job and this that and the other. Turn down your tv and turn up the local radio. The hypocrisy is real, the narrative is real, don’t fall for it people

On point. He’s not lit it up. Hopefully with Thomas eventually back and a developing Stills in the offense things will open up more. Trautman has t been what was hoped for either.

I'm still hopeful that Winston can lead this team. He just hasn't looked the part yet. That's OK. We're 2-1 and I'm a patient man considering I'm so impatient.

So Maddy said Ramz had "4 plays of 0 effort" but Underhill and Deuce both agreed that RR was very good.

Not sure what player Maddy was focusing on Sunday

.

Again, Ryan is the least likely player to be concerned with on the O line.

And to piggyback on Deuce analysis on Ruiz (rough game, losing leverage), that's two straight games ...

I've asked this question last week but how likely is it we move Austin R to center & slide Ruiz to guard until McCoy is 100? Ruiz is really getting abused when a NT is lined up over him.

Those free rushes are going to get Winston hurt (sack or running) or force him into a bad throw & subsequent turnover.

I thought all the talk of camp was how much better Ruiz was -_-

Guy is getting abused week in and week out it seems. First Round picks really aren't going well over the last few years.

Week in week out? They've only played three weeks and he looked great week one in relief of McCoy. In week two the entire team was discombobulated with half the coaching staff missing and defensive holes everywhere. He looked really good all last season. It is a tad early to write him off as a first round failure, don't you think?

Cosidering he hasn't had reps at the position I'm fine with giving him some time to grow into the player we hoped for. Before McCoy went down the buzz was about how well he was looking in TC and the preseason.
