Bruce Harper Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Reading all these posts I get shocked with how many folks around here (not everybody, of course) are determined to spread negative vibes, no matter what the circumstances. We beat a good team with a pretty much unprecedented performance by a backup in his first NFL start. What's all the nit-picking and negativism about? Were you glum on your wedding day? When your kids were born? Christmas morning? Enjoy it. Or at least allow us to. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kolchak Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 He sat, watched and learned. Maybe that still can mean something in this instant gratification league. I get it, he could be Eric Hipple for us. But, until proven otherwise, he can be Kurt Warner. He's both until the games are played. I just choose to be optimistic once again. Besides, predicting someone will suck playing QB in the NFL isn't some bold move. Most people suck at being an NFL QB. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the blind hyping of white is actually negative as it relates to the QB that is actually the future of the franchise. “The offense clicked because white is brady 2.0 and Wilson sucks. End of story”- that is a toxic take IMO. The truth is much more nuanced. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All we heard from these posters was that Wilson, Saleh, Lafleur, Douglas were all terrible and nothing had changed from the past year or past 52 years. We heard that immediate changes were needed. We heard that the season was destined for failure if a veteran QB (like Hoyer or Flacco or Foles - what a group) was not signed to "mentor" the young QBs. We heard impatience and a desire to have competitive games now - future success be damned. We heard how great the 2019 7-9 team was under Gase and how 2015 was so much fun. And then White plays one game and now we have the next Brady/Warner based on that? Please. All some of us are saying is pump the brakes and let this play out. This is a long term rebuild and the play to play roller coaster some posters are on is just absurd. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FidelioJet Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 5 hours ago, Bruce Harper said: I have to admit that this part kind of surprised me. So his short passing may have more to do with discipline and what the D was giving him than lack of arm strength. Looking forward to Thursday to see if he can build on this. For sure. It definitely gives me hope beyond it was a fluke or all he can be is a game manager/back up. Who knows, maybe he figured something out his three years watching. I mean stranger things have happened. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlantajet333 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 White played a smart game and I give him credit for not pressing. Bengals typically play a soft two deep zone basically keeping things in front giving up the short passing game. Even though the OC called an aggressive game plan, White threw underneath allowing receivers to gain YAC. I believe the difference here is the offense got into a rhythm early especially against a weak box. Zach probably would have thrown into the Bengals strength which is the deep ball. Similar calls executed by processing two different QB's. Zach passes up easy completions. White took them. Looks like it was the execution after all. When the offense stays ahead on early downs, second and short, third and short, the playbook is wide open. Scoring early contributes to complementary football. I wouldn't put White in Canton just yet. Even if he plays well vs Colts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Nut Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 On 10/31/2021 at 4:27 PM, Smashmouth said: Mike White answered a lot of questions today. Was not LaFleur Was not the team not executing Was not the HC Was Not Joe Douglas It Was a QB in over his head and Zach needs time ...that is if Mr. White lets him see the field again. Like I said if this kid plays like this for 4 games while Zach is out you have got to be nuts to take him out. I'm trying not to over react here but this offense was so horribly bad with Wilson at QB you could never expected this to happen especially to a team that has not given up even 25 points in forever. Mike White is not a fluke The offense looked nothing like the offense that they’ve been running. Have no clue how anyone watched the Bengals game and didn’t notice that it was crackdown Charlie all day with a few trick plays thrown in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
