OMG PROJECT ROOKIE QB PLAYS BAD IN SECOND PRESEASON GAME BUST BUST BUST BUST BUST BUST FIRE FUCKING EVERYONE
Lol when was the last time a QB all of sudden got better on this team? Pennington maybe, but with our luck he couldn't stay healthy. He needs to sit for 2 years minimum before even getting any real playing time.
Petty made a huge jump from last year to this year. Fitz made a huge jump from last preseason to last regular season.
Hack sucked tonight, no way around it. We aren't going to see him play again until next year, and in a year from now, I'll forget tonight happened. If he doesn't improve between now and then, then we have problems.
Do you think Maccagnan will draft a QB come next year? I mean, he has this "draft a QB until you hit the jackpot" mantra, doesn't he?
Meh... Give him a year to learn, put him behind a real OL, throwing to real WRs and then I'll decide if I'll jump off the GWB like some of you guys. Jeez get a grip.
I think James Franklin has been vindicated. Yes there was a change of system after Bill O'Brien left that may have led to Hackenberg's value going down. But the facts are the kid can't hit the broad side of a barn. You can see Hackenberg has the arm talent,but his decision making is horrible. The jury is still out, but I think this where our intrepid GM thought he was smarter than everyone and right now he's looking like the village idiot.
If the jury's still out, then our GM doesn't look like an idiot. You're the only one who looks like an idiot for contradicting yourself, thinking you're smarter than Mac and our scouts, and for even thinking, much less saying, that James Franklin has been vindcated. You are clueless, dude!
The problem is that if Fitzgerald gets hurt and Geno tanks, this kid might have to be thrown into the fire, Do you trust him with this team? Marshall will end up strangling him.
After watching PS W4, Fitz must be kicking himself. "I can't believe I blinked. Macc woulda paid me $20M all day. Damn".
What is up with you DUDE First of all, I don't think I know more than the men who are running the front office. They are at the practices, watching the tape. They' ve had years of experience. But they are not always right. As of now, drafting Hackenberg looks like a mistake. Key phrase "As of now..." He looks terrible. DUDE..take off your blinders and get a reality check.
Many people on this board (Including me) have put down Geno Smith for his poor Rookie performance in 2013. He was awful. He still won 8 games though somehow. Not sure Hackenberg could win 1. Pretty sure he could if the D came through for him. He is FAR off though, for a 2nd Round pick. Scary, but hopefully he makes a lot of progress this offseason and shows up to camp in 2017 much better. To be fair tonight, the young man mentally prepared to start the 3rd Quarter. So being thrown into the game in the 1st Quarter may have thrown him off.
I'm not sure if you've paying attention,but tonight I think there are a lot of people on this board who will agree with me.
Yes I have, but not as inaccurate. He just looks scared and unprepared. Also Goff has a decent excuse. He's never worked in an offense where he's under center. It's all new to him. What's Hackenberg's excuse?
I personally loved the selection of Hackenberg there in the 2nd round (after getting Lee in the 1st). Who would you of selected over Hackenberg there in the 2nd round...?
