Its called the sophomore Jinx; a lot of QBs that do really well their rookie year really fall off year 2

there are various theories; that as a rookie you are going by instinct and as the coach and system words on you your instincts are fighting with the coaching and there are problems.

The real good QBs are able to blend their instincts with good coaching

Now some are just flashes in the pan; and some do not get the coaching they need

We shall see in year three which one Stroud is

Wouldn’t go so far as to say he’s become a JAG but he’s having a second year slump. This is why you can’t crown players too quick.

Teams also have a full year of tape on you.

It’s amazing that bringing in a great coach and a change in culture has transformed the Chargers… even after being at the bottom of the defensive ranks last year.
I’ve wanted Dallas to resemble that for such a long time. Yet Jones has to be the face of the Cowboy brand each and every day.
They did lose their RB last week for the season.....as if they already didn't lack weapons
That makes their 7-4 record all the more impressive.

Bengals and Pittsburgh is a division game. The announcers noted this is the 110 meeting. You know what they say about division games, right?

Same applies in all divisions. Can't put much faith in what you're seeing today.

Drake Maye endzone pick.
They could've kicked the go ahead FG but went for it. Not that a blame them, but ouch.
Nice atonement next drive
Pats have not punted all day, but have had to settle for FG attempts 4 times. TD this time
24-17....if anyone cares

That is way over rated. They by the end of his rookie season had lots of tape on him. HE was playing very well

he is just not playing well. You watch him and compare him to the previous year and it has nothing to do with what the D is doing; its on him

Bringing in Harbaugh to this Dallas team was a no brainer. It was such an obvious decision to me.
