Which player will have the better bounce back season?

Actually, a lot of older players are given Wednesday off. It’s intentionally done to keep them from wearing out. It’s not why the team was out of sync.

 

I agree on not betting against Snell. A 1st rounder for JuJu on a one year contract? Whoever wrote those stories had some pretty good weed.

 

So the older players played basically one half of preseason football, yet were given days off prior to the first two games, so they wouldn't wear out, but that's not why they were out of sync? do tell. Why would they wear down, because they had enough rest during the game, punting on their first four series' against New England. Let's blame it on coaching, but how does a team get in sync, if the starters are sitting out of one of every three practices?

 

Or maybe the offense looked out of sync because AB wasn't there, and Moncrief was dropping passes.

 

It’s not the only reason. Lack of PS hurts as well. I get that other older players get days off too sometimes but no one is more important to the synchronicity of the offense than the QB. They already have Monday and Tuesday off and Friday is a walkthrough as well. Lack of PS has cost us starting the season slow and lack of practice has caused the offense more often than not to come out slow in a lot of games. I don’t know what other excuse you can point to?

 

even more reason to play with the new group of receivers.

 

And what if Ben gets injured in a meaningless PS game, he takes Wednesdays off his arm probably needs the rest.

 

Which player is more likely to get 1,000 yards, if Conner stays healthy I could see him getting there, JuJu I'm not sure he probably falls short.

 

So then why take the chance of him playing in the PS at all? As for Wednesday? He already had Monday and Tuesday off. C’mon he’s throwing the ball what 50 times a game max? More often like 35!attempts , give me a break. I don’t know how MLB pitchers do it? Why get behind the wheel of a car or cross the street? Careful eating sunflower seeds too....If you don’t think his lack of PS leading to slow starts and lack of practice leading to inconsistent performances, Isn’t a big deal I don’t know what to tell you....it’s part of the reason we tie Cleveland and lose to inferior teams costing us playoff berths. Ben is a great QB but he is also maddeningly inconsistent. IMO that’s a reason why....

 

I would be skeptical of JuJu getting those numbers, maybe they want to get back to running the ball more, I think after the season Art II said something about them needing to run the ball better. I don't think Ben will be throwing as much as he did in 2018, when he lad the league in passing yards. I also think there are a lot of options in the passing game, Vance, Diontae, JW, Ebron, possible draft pick at WR.

 

They tied Cleveland because they turned the ball a lot, it had nothing to do with not playing in the PS.

 

Ok keep telling yourself that....

 

A 38 year old QB coming off elbow surgery, and you want him to throw more in the PS? He throws to the WRs all during training camp, playing in some meaningless PS game isn't going to make a big difference.

 

Funny was I talking about this years unique situation? No I wasn’t. I was taking about in the past. Leave it to you to move the goalpost again though Agree to disagree. If you don’t think practice and repetition makes you better you never played sports or competed at anything.

 

I voted for JuJu. I think RB will likely be by committee this season. They didn't bring in Derek Watt not to use him. I think Benny Snell will see his share of carries even when Conner is healthy. Add to that the fact that the Steelers will probably draft a RB and I just don't see Conner putting up big numbers.

 

The taking Wednesday’s off is during the regular season. It has nothing to do with preseason.

Again, it’s not why the team is out of sync.

 

I don't like Pouncey, never have, but the NFL is not popularity contest. You make a valid point about not only having musical QB's, I wonder about the porous line too......was he trying to get to a spot so fast that he screwed up the snap?
