Watson had a MRI that confirmed he’d be out for the season on Monday due to a fracture in his throwing shoulder

And just 4 days later Joey Burrow recieves a MRI that reveals he’ll be out for the season too with a wrist injury

To recap:

• both are Ohio starting quarterbacks
• both have atleast a $230,000,000 contract
• both are out for the season for what initially seemed like a minor injury
• both got hurt in the same week, and both were hurt vs the Ravens

Teams the 49ers have lost to:

• Cleveland
• Minesota
• Cincinnati

All these teams have lost their QB. The lesson seems to be, don't beat the 49ers if you want your QB to stay healthy.

I'm using a simplified/modified Colley Matrix iteration process (https://www.colleyrankings.com/method.html)

To summarize, you take the win percentage of every team and correct it against the win percentage of their opponents. Then you have a new win percentage. And I repeat that process until the correction factor is below .001. Essentially this is what I would expect the win percentages to be if the teams played an average team every week.

2 starting QBs were lost in the most competitive division. That hurts. Ravens lost andrews as well last night, and he was one of Lamar's favorite end zone targets this year it looks like. It's a shame too because of how things were going. We were all hoping everyone would be fighting to the finish instead of limping to the finish.

Just seeing Joe Burrow’s out for the year now and it’s been brutal. How many backup QBs have started games? Is it a NFL modern record?

Aaron Rodgers out for year Kirk Cousins out for year Daniel Jones out for year Deshaun Watson out for year Joe Burrow out for year

Not to mention Justin Fields, Matt Stafford, Kyler Murray, etc. who have been banged up

I have huge respect for Bill and his legacy as a coach, but am curious on everyone’s thoughts regarding what will happen next season. Speculation seems to be that the Chargers are a likely landing spot.

That being said, does the utter failure of Bill’s coaching tree and closest disciples warrant any concern regarding Bill’s ability to succeed in a new system?

Seeing how many years Patricia, McDaniels, and O’Brian spent with Bill, and how horribly implementing the “Patriot Way” resulted naturally is a cause for concern.

Bill’s results as a head coach are irrefutable and will likely stand the test of time. That being said, was it lighting in a bottle matching a great coach who implemented a system and culture that allowed the greatest QB of all time to thrive, or was Bill truly a football mastermind who could replicate the same success at another team?

Interestingly, I’d argue (minus Brady) this Chargers offense would easily be the most talented squad Bill has ever had top to bottom. How do you think this will play out?

Don't beat the 49ers. There's something spooky going down in the Golden State.

This doesn't include post season stats either.

Luck was sacked 11 times in his whole playoff career (8 games), Burrow has been sacked 29 times in the playoffs (7 games)

Ravens gotta pay the man, whatever it takes.

Is he going to be the first Ohio State QB to succeed in the NFL

Andy Reid was the eagles head coach from 1999-2012. Philly won in 2001, 2005, and 2009. The next game would be in 2013 when Andy was the chiefs head coach. The chiefs won in 2013, 2017, 2021, and last years Super Bowl.
