Should have added I'm not bagging on the guy, just looking to see if he is progressing. I didn't like the pick at the time, but I get it now, and am happy he's a cardinal.
Has anyone ever heard KM at the line of scrimmage yelling...kill..kill..kill? Honest question, because I have not. There should always be an option of two plays depending on the defensive lineup. This would have some determination on if he is reading the defense presnap.
Of course it can be, my point is I don't see him changing the play often. Most times there are two plays called and "kill" just means we're going to play number two. I don't buy the ruse theory at all.There are always options and "kill, kill, kill" is often a ruse to confuse the "D".
We have played the niners, lions, football team, panthers and jets. If we played good teams that scoring defense wouldn’t be ranked where it is right now.I see it being posted, but we are middle of the pack in yards and a top 5 scoring defense thus far. Granted I don’t think the scoring defense is quite accurate, but I think we are much more of a mediocre defense than a bad one.
This isn't me judging Kyler here, but it's painful for people to use ESPN's less than 10 year old made up metric as a valid judgement of quarterback success. It's not recognized by the NFL, and is used only to confuse people with the NFL's QB Rating/Passer Rating metric. It's basically the same as a PFF grade.He is currently ranked 14th in QBR, just below Jared Goff, ahead of QBs like Matt Ryan and Big Ben. For a 2nd year QB, thats awesome.

For sure and that's why I said that I don't think the scoring defense is quite accurate. That being said we are ranked 17th by DVOA and I believe that takes into account opponent. We certainly haven't shown to be a bad defense to this point and of course we won't have a complete understanding until we start facing some better offensive teams like our opponent this week. Like I said though, even if we do well on Monday a lot of people will just say it's because Dak got injured.We have played the niners, lions, football team, panthers and jets.

It's like if we made a WRR, RBR, TER... they're all based on arbitrary in-game definitions of "expected points," not a true statistic.
It should basically be called "player success rating."

But not in evaluation as a quarterback. That's an overall player evaluation. It also doesn't have a set baseline against other QBs. It's based off of a mostly qualitative analysis of what the potential opportunity is on a play.its useful because passer rating doesnt give him credit for his running -- 300 yards at 7 ypc and 5 tds ought to go into the mix

The problem is that QBR literally is impacted by gameflow and down and distance. Going for it on 4th down early in the game might have different weight than going for it in the 4th quarter... an excerpt from the above site:i might buy that for one game -- where, out of character, a QB runs for 50 yards and a td. QBR in that situation likely makes the QB look better than what can be expected.
but running is an integral part of K1s game. he consistently adds yardage with his legs -- and that has to be considered.

It's not a theory, it's a fact spoken to by QB's and Coordinators in the past. And there are verbal instructions, word, a number that can be used to move from play one to two. What does "Omaha" mean or "Omaha, Omaha", or "Omaha, Omaha, Omaha"?
Our defense is not going to stop Dallas.
If Elliot goes off for 150 yards we cooked.
Here’s what worries me. We receive the kickoff and go 3 and out. Dallas gets the ball and has a 10 play 7 minute drive. We get the ball go no huddle 3 and out and put this defense right back on the field in under a minute.
Our defense is not going to stop Dallas. We need a couple of time consuming drives to help our defense.
I also think we are going to need 38 points to win this game.
I'm not sure 38 will be enough. I would venture to say 42-45 may be necessary. The Cowboys will be aggressive coming after KK. KK will need to make them pay with his legs. It'll be a tough game. Dallas will be playing for Dak & the officiating will be horrendous. You can count on that.
Kliff's offense has never scored more that 32 points. It's too slow and methodical to score more on it's own, especially with the number of stalled drives we have from penalties.
Without a defensive or ST touchdown to help (which we haven't had in how long?) then I can't see us breaking 32. Not without a considerable change in how deep we throw.
