Well sometimes killing a play (aka throwing the ball away) is a positive. If you're trying to force big plays on every broken play, bad stuff will inevitably happen.

I think Brock does really good on broken plays, and idc if he rushes for a few yards or throws off the broken play - I just don't want him getting hit or turning the ball over. I'd rather him just throw the ball away at times and live for another play.

I'm a major Brock fan but i've noticed that when injuries happen to the starters - he tries to over compensate. Which usually results in turnovers. I don't mind him playing hero ball when he's throwing to quality starters (which we've missed at WR for afew years now) but not to back ups or mediocre players.

He shouldn't be playing hero ball as much as he does. He's got the Favre mentality with a fraction of the arm. We've seen him make stupid ass decisions with the ball when the starters were fully healthy it's just a trait Purdy has.

These are variations of the conversations we had before his deal got done. And reality is some of you guys overblow his decision making.

I went back and looked at his turnovers early last year and in 2024 and only a couple of them were what you would call "hero ball" level mistakes.

You also don't need Favre's arm to play hero ball in a good way. It's funny how many people(likely you included) were complaining about paying him all this money as a franchise QB when he's not elite...and yet the majority of the plays by the elite guys everyone gets hot and bothered by them playing hero ball.

It's all about realizing when hero ball is worth the risk. I thought Brock did a much better job of understanding that in those later games. Play it safe on 1st and 2nd downs and save it if needed on key downs unless you're pinned deep in your territory or already in FG range.

Brocky must be so excited with his new receivers, last year he threw for a lot of yards with a dog crap receiver corps... he and ME will dominate the back shoulder this year

Agree, and I look forward to a true two tight end set (Kittle & Tonges) with Juszczyk as the third TE/FB offense in the red zone. I think Jake and Brock can be a special combo, if Jake can get better at blocking.

I don't think a 2 TE set with Kittle and Tonges is a great strategy for us unless Tonges works his ass off to improve his blocking this offseason.

Perfect world your 2 TE set has two guys like George who are terrific blockers and dangerous in the passing game. Tonges is a good receiver but his blocking is simply not good. We'd be better off going with 3 WR groupings, hell Stribling may be a better blocker. Juice gives us more flexibility than Tonges imo.

Also if Kittle can avoid getting hurt. He hasn't missed a ton of games except in 2020 and last saeson but he's only played in every game one season. It's just the way he plays. Blocking and trying to get those extra yards.

Saw that brock and his wife are doing pottery barn ads now lol

free furniture is always nice ngl

Tonges is a pretty good receiver. He beat a pretty good team last year on the strength of his receiving on the last play of the game. I think the strenth of the two tight end formation is 1) more potential protection for Brock in the passing game 2) some better potential in scoring in the red zone. Those are the two just off the top of my head right now. The key is for Jake to get better at his blocking, for sure.
