I don't care what the stats looked like. With Davis in there our offense looked like a Chinese Fire Drill.

In all fairness, it wasnt his fault that Quick shorted the route on 3rd and 8 and ended up short by less than a yard. Then the balls-less coaching staff "settled" for 50 yard FG instead of showing some confidence in their "smashmouth" football...
Man, I was about sure they were gonna go for the first down on that drive. I have no doubt they would have got it as they were really moving the ball well.
No Doubt Hill should Start, If he's Health! I would fear for Davis's Life against Lovie Smith's D!! ( I'm hoping Keenum picks-up our Playbook quickly, and gets in-sink with our WR's!)
Right because Sam is out and Hill's the starter! Not that he'd start anyway since Fisher's would have started Hill regardless! Oline has to do the job they get paid to do before a rookie'd be started! There were no starters in this year's draft for the Rams!
Hill will start. If he's goes down, or out, it won't matter anyway. Just like Davis' play yesterday. Sign the fastest QB out there for insurance. He's going to need the speed if he ever plays behind this swiss cheese offensive line. Or start 6 linemen. Or make Chris Long the QB. And to jump to RB - start Benny. Stacy wasn't running "down hill", he was running into the ground. The uniforms looked real good yesterday (to finish on a positive).
Superbowl is right, Usain Bolt couldn't outrun the pass rush that our OL was letting through. I don't believe any QB in the league could look good behind how those guys played yesterday. Think Hill should start if well... Davis just looked like he was in his first NFL game, looked good at times and made some mistakes. On the pick-6, even the radio guys were saying that Cook gave up on the route and didn't finish where Davis was leading him. Think Davis just needs experience and a decent (playing) OLine would help. I don't see how anyone could think that Keenum would be much of a better option under the circumstances. With the Texans last year in 8 games, he was 137/253 for 54.2%, 9TDs with 6 Ints and 6 fumbles, with a 34.5 QBR.?? But I'm all for competition.....
Hill.
The Davis dropbacks have me thinking INT every time he tosses the ball up.

it may be too quick but I say sign tebow. He may not be the best QB, but he's a runner that can help if we ran some read option. Would really open the running game.

im ok with tebow as well swiftguy. its kind of like one of those "best of the worst" type things. with that said, it would definitely make for more entertaining sundays!
I think we at least get into the endzone if Hill stays in the game yesterday. Who knows how the second half played out with him in there. He was what, like 5-8 with an INT when he came out? He made one bad decision. He can lead this offense, we just need a better game plan from the coaches.
I don't think I said anything different.
Unless you would state that the 3rd year wideout is the leader of the offense - the QB led the team to zero points. That is a fact. Combine that with a really bad INT to close out the half, and I am not giving a game ball to Hill. Was he our biggest issue? No. Am I really enthused about Hill leading our offense? No.
No offense to CoachO, but I can come to my own conclusions on this subject.
Until the OL figures out how to block someone, it doesn't matter who is the QB. I figured with all the experience on the OL, that would be a solid unit. Turned out they were horrible and the DBs that we all thought were week, played okay.
There is no way you can make that last statement. It is way too early to tell how this draft class will work out.
I assert that the QB position is our single largest concern as a team right now. We had a truckload of picks (now all spent) and we did NOTHING to improve this position for the future. This does not bode well, given this is the most important position in team sports, IMHO.
True, and we spent the number 2 overall pick on the offensive line this year, and he did not start and played very little.
Did Jake Matthews play for the Falcons yesterday? I did not see the game. Just curious.
I don't know and I don't care. You don't draft players for how they will do as rookies in week 1.
He started,played first half and was decent to good. Left at the end of the half with ankle injury. Did not play in the second half.
