No, Love offers more offensive capability, imho. IF he's struggling that's on MLF for not adjusting his playcalls &/or scheme properly.P.S- If Love starts and is rusty and GB offense is struggling does anyone think there is any chance MLF turns to Malik late in the game?
He can throw the ball very well and we better cover the minihaha receivers accordingly. Both short and long. There have been so many passes to the flat this year. And it's been working real well. That's where McDuffie and Nixon can step in. Of course, our Aaron Jones is a wild card both receiving and running. He gets through the line so fast. Q will need to step up there if Jones gets through the line.I don't know why, but I'm feeling a little optimistic here.
Obviously credit where credit is due. 3-0 is 3-0. It's too early to tell too much, but I can't help but wonder about the opposition here. You have the Giants, who are going to be a contender for the #1 draft pick if I had to guess. And on paper, the 49ers and Texans SHOULD be great teams, ones that many had penciled in as super bowl contenders. Maybe that will hold true, and those will remain quality wins. But if you're assessing solely based on this season thus far....those wins lose a little luster all the sudden. The Texans other two games were them barely winning against the Colts and Bears...both of whom are not good. The 49ers beat up on the Jets, but also lost to whoever the Rams could dress that wasn't already out injured.
And to be fair to the Vikings they are playing very well, and you can only beat whoever's scheduled in front of you. But I don't know...I think if I were a Vikings fan, I'd still have a hard time fully trusting Darnold. It seemed like heading into the season he was at best going to be viewed as a "bridge" QB for McCarthy to develop behind. And prior to this season has a career passer rating of 80.7 and a career QBR of 44.0 - this season those numbers are 117.3 and 73.5, respectively. Is that sustainable, or should we expect to see some regression there at some point? Hopefully it's this week, if so.
I doubt it. But I wouldn't mind seeing a bit of Malik for a few series. Or even some plays. It's a tough thing to do for a coach.I rarely feel that the other team has the better coach. IMO this is a toss-up. The MN guy is pretty good and seems to scheme open guys even better than MLF. I hope AJ has a nice game (not too nice). I am confident the Pack has the better overall roster. Pack in a tight one with home field being the difference.
