hahaha I didn't read it and I'm sure he's exaggerating…but overall Brock didn't play "great" this game. Inaccurate balls, missed reads and the deep ball stuff is an issue.

this team is so stacked with talent that he doesn't need to be great to win games every week…he's also young and developing. I'm not worried about Brock as far as him just regressing to not being a good QB or anything. I just don't know if he's ever gonna be that elite level QB. Time will tell, still a pup.

SSurprise!! He's already an elite quarterback. I guess it comes down to one's definition of what it means to have a quote great game unquote. Your definition is that he make all his throws. My definition is that he make all his decisions.

And by the way, Brock made all the right decisions. Even on the throws he didn't hit. That's a problem of execution not decision making. He read the right play didn't hesitate and sent the ball where it had to go. Just didn't quite get there. If you're going to criticize that and take him down I think you're just bellyaching to start an argument and get clicks.

Everything was right except the execution. As far as I'm concerned for one game or a few ames that's fine. That is Way Beyond elite for this team this offense this coach

exactly

his decision-making has been great it's actually very rare you look at him play and say ya that was a bad decision. I would much rather have that then have missed throws because all QBS miss throws

But seriously, 23 years old, playing against Donald and a good Rams Defense, he's just calm.
The long pass to Jennings was great and the game changer ultimately. And it was IMHO a more difficult pass than the ones to Aiyuk and Deebo.
Sometimes, I would like Kyle to let him more pass on first downs but it's the beginning of the season, an away game, you take what you can.
And again 30 points scored by the offense and that should have been more between the mistakes in redzone or the flags.

How are we calling this a good Rams defense? I don't think anyone can name 3 defensive players on that team.

overall imo this was his shakiest game as a starter. It's bound to happen, he's still a pup and developing. Early in the season, not worried overall. I do think those deep downfield balls just aren't his thing, similar to Jimmy.

30 points is pretty darn good.
Zero INTs is really good too.
And a rushing TD.

The deep balls were inaccurate but overthrown, lacking touch not arm strength. That is encouraging.

You don't become an "elite" QB with less than a years worth of football under your belt. That's just my opinion….if you disagree that's fine.

making the right decision is half the battle. Making the throw is the other half. The elite ones do both consistently.

Im trying to get clicks? Huh? It's okay to be objective. Mostly Brock has been great. Objectively a handful of throws were off. Not the end of the world, they won and this team is stacked, so talent won out.

End of the day If you can't execute then who cares…that's like saying Colton is smart and knows his pass protections, but still gets blown up because he can't execute the blocks. I don't think anyone is saying Brock isn't making the right decision…it's doing the other half on certain plays.

There might be aspects of Brock's game that could limit him overall. There's some consistency (or lack there of) there on certain throws…it's also less than a years worth of football to go off of…like I said he's young and developing. Hopefully he starts hitting those downfield balls there, because that's something we have lacked for years.

Yup 30 pts and no TOs is good! Gotta hit those passes downfield. Work in progress

Wasn't questioning his decision making overall. End of the day if you don't hit those throws it doesn't matter…overall wayyy more positive stuff about Brock, then negative.

Not being able to name anyone isn't an indication of being good. Seattle is no slouch and they were held to 13. The same Seattle that beat the Lions, that beat the Chiefs.

We'll see about the deep ball thing. I won't go as far to call him Jimmy G yet. This game is on film though so we'll see how defensive coordinators adjust.

He also had some inaccurate passes on slants and the usual stuff he hits. Luckily guys like Deebo and Kittle adjusted.

True. I remind myself he only has half a season under his belt so we need to patient.

His accuracy is normally very very good so far. If he can nail those deep shots he will be deadly. He had Aiyuk early and Deebo in the second half. btw Deebo definitely looks quicker to me.

Deep ball accuracy still a weakness, but at least he's attempting them.

He'll hit them eventually, I imagine.

Deebo looks good as dangerous as ever and Aiyuk has taken a huge step forward

Seattle was doing just fine in the first half. They lost both starting OTs and the pressure came.

maybe the Rams D is just all of sudden good with a bunch of nobodies starting dudes like Witherspoon. I will disagree with that statement.

.He's already done this. No need to wait. 2nd game back from elbow surgery.

Which is more rare, elite in play decision making, or elite arm strengthaccuracy? The latter is 1/1000. The former 1/1000000.

There are plenty of hyped up qb prospects with awesome measurables. Ryan leaf JaMarcus Russel Zach Wilsonour own sam darnold and on and on.

Elite decisionmakers? They win superbowls. Montana, brady.

Exactly, he was a little off, but its game 2 and he had the surgery etc. I would logically think and hope he will only improve with more experience. You saw the look on his face missing those deep shots. He wasn't smiling like Jimmy. If he gets those deep throws down.....oh man

i mean honestly thats the difference between them covering the spread and this game being a blowout was
