Was right about Kenny Pickett too. You watchin him tonight?

I did not, but still early on him IMO

It might well depend on whether McDaniels is still there or not. Far from a guarantee at this point.

If I were them, he'd be gone. Dude is not a good HC and its been 100% proven again.

That said, they should have never hired him to begin with after the job Rich Bisaccia did as the interim HC last yr.

I am assuming the decision time to flex games has already passed, but I am a little surprised our game vs Indy wasn't moved to afternoon.

The league had several attractive options: 7-4 Jets at 9-2 Vikings, 7-5 Washington at 7-4 NYG, 7-4 Titans at 10-1 Eagles, 8-3 Dolphins at 7-4 Niners (Miami HC is Shanahan's former OC and both teams are hot) and 9-2 Chiefs at 7-4 Bengals.

How much softer can they be on this team?

About a month till our game vs them, big loss. League leader in interceptions with 6.

He likes him.

I think it's too soon to tell and he still hasn't played in any cold weather games, where his smaller hands could really become more of an issue.

Liked him. His only adjustment to the bigger stage is and will be, the much more complex and variable defenses in the NFL.

Played four years in that stadium for the Pitt Panthers. Weather ain't gonna be a problem. I'm pretty sure the squealers know what they're doing. They had Pickett in their bldg four years now. (Steelers and Pitt share facilities.)

Not in December or January though. He also has to potentially play cold weather in games in places like Cleveland, Cincinnati & Baltimore (and also potentially places like NYJ, Buffalo and New England)

He has really small hands and that typically has not translated well to the NFL game. Doesn't mean he can't overcome it, but he would be an outlier. His 8 1/2 hands are really small compared to the average and of 600 QB's found in the database with all these measurables, only 25 had hands as small as his or smaller.

He was a relatively average QB prospect before his mammoth senior year, that also usually doesn't translate well long term in the NFL. Doesn't mean he can't succeed, but NFL draft history is flooded with "1 yr wonder" type QB's who then don't pan out.

NFL draft history is flooded with "1 yr wonder" type QB's who then don't pan out.

That's certainly true. But I think Pissburg has their guy for the next ten to twelve years.

And let's not misunderstand. I'm not saying Pickett's your next Payton Manning. Not saying he'll even be all that great even. I'm saying he'll be great FOR THEM. And what they want to do.

 

[dbair1967]

Kinda interesting, especially since for the first 6 weeks or so of the season all the media kept saying is Dallas played an easy schedule.

Current records vs playoff opponents, the Cowboys have the most wins and most games vs teams curently in the playoffs.

NFC

Cowboys: 5-2 (wins over CIN, MIN, NYGx2, WAS)
Eagles: 3-1 (DAL, MIN, WAS)
Vikings: 3-2 (MIA, WAS, BUF)
Giants: 2-2 (TEN, BAL)
Buccaneers: 1-2 (DAL)
Commanders: 1-4 (PHI)
49ers: 0-1 (only 1 game on their schedule vs a team currently in playoffs, a loss to Chiefs)

AFC

Chiefs: 3-1
Dolphins: 3-3
Titans: 1-4
Ravens: 4-3
Bills: 3-3
Bengals: 3-2
Jets: 2-4

He could be, we shall see

If so they're crazier than hell. I was bangin alarm bells about our schedule the minute it was announced. And it's not our fault some of the high-end opponents fell off. Thems the breaks.

All the people that crow about a season's schedule based on the PREVIOUS year are idiots.
