Official Game Thread - Preseason Week 3 - Ravens @ Commanders - EARLY DAY GAME

Poor throw from Johnson there. Have to lead the receiver into the middle of the endzone. I have no clue what we are gonna do at QB3?
 
My best takeaway from the preseason is that the OL has been really solid. We have plenty of depth there. Going to be tough cuts there. Tons of depth at WR as well. Even with the horrific QB play we have seen something from that group. No clue what the defense is going to look like. Backup DL has not been very good.

Yeah one positive is our outstanding blocking, not just by the OL but the TEs and receivers too, especially last week. I think we’ll have a very strong rushing attack this season. I don’t know if that will offset our lack of discipline, penalties, poor kicking game, inability to get the defense off the field, etc., but hopefully things look better in the games that count.
 
No matter how much angst anyone feels watching a preseason game, it doesn't change the fact that there is literally zero correlation between results in the preseason and regular season results. There just isn't.
 
QB play has been horrific, the receivers arnt getting a chance to show what they can do.

I hope you’re right, but I tend to think more like Harbaugh, how you practice is how you play. I know DQ is not much of a preseason guy, but I believe his teams are slow starters too.
 
tbh, I think Jeff Driskel, last year, looked better than Josh Johnson and Sam Hartman. if things go really bad and we end up needing a QB3, we'll have options. don't worry too much about it.

I would always prefer to see the 'team' firing on all cylinders, even if it's scrubs. But again - there is no evidence that preseason performance is predictive of regular season performance. It just doesn't work that way.

Fair enough. I’m pessimistic but they proved me wrong last year. Bring on the games that count!

Agree, but it’s also an indication of team depth. Right now it looks like our starters are really good, our second team is NFL credible, and our third string doesn’t belong in the league. Overall all it’s likely we will be OK but we have had seasons with multiple injuries at a position. I don’t want to see Dieter at center ever again.

I get that we are in trouble if QB 3 has to start multiple games. But if Daniels and Mariota are both out or questionable for a game or two I at least want someone who could give us a chance, not just game over man. Not sure Johnson is that guy.

I also see the PS as a valuable development option for next years backups, not just a way to stash players this year. Hope somebody cuts a promising QB.
 
I hear you. Although Johnson, when called upon in the past, did a good job. We are still early in this rebuild, and even at backup level you can't build a world class roster overnight. I have a lot of confidence that this roster will be stronger than last year's and I think in the short-term that's really all we can ask for.

Agree with all of that.
