[u/AllieOopClifton]

The DTR experience is probably over for good.

[u/DistortedAudio → u/AllieOopClifton]

That game where he came in against us was maybe the worst I’ve ever felt for an opposing QB. It was like watching a waking nightmare.

[u/Floober440 → u/DistortedAudio]

You're not gonna believe this, but that wasn't even the worst he's played. I think the Dolphins game last year was even worse.

[u/DistortedAudio → u/Floober440]

Godamn, it’s hard to believe that. I just remember the line crumbling constantly, every pass being a pick.

There was a point where I was certain this was like a cosmic punishment towards him or something.

[u/Floober440 → u/DistortedAudio]

I think he came close to racking up the worst QB record EVER. He was somehow worse at throwing than fucking Garo Yepremian.

[u/DistortedAudio → u/Floober440]

Honestly that’s a cool game to play with your boys. Most obscure awful QB pull. Cody Kessler is a good one.

[u/BlackMathNerd → u/DistortedAudio]

Ryan Lindley is always mine

[u/Frequent-Buy9895 → u/BlackMathNerd]

Matt McGloin

[u/Apolaustic1 → u/Frequent-Buy9895]

Max hall

[u/Rhine1906 → u/Apolaustic1]

Cody Pickett come on down

[u/No_Map5131 → u/DistortedAudio]

Seneca Wallace

[u/Simsar → u/DistortedAudio]

Josh Rosen seems like I'm kicking someone while they're down.

Curtis Painter also comes to mind.

[u/Phagelab → u/Simsar]

Curtis Painter had a purpose though. That purpose was to secure the pick for Luck.

[u/DistortedAudio → u/Simsar]

Think Rosen goes to Wharton now so he’ll be kicking you soon enough.

Also shout out to Rosen for being the only NFL player I can remember to be really vocal about climate change.

[u/AllieOopClifton → u/Floober440]

Gonna be hard to do worse than DeShone Kizer when he already has a win.

[u/JimmytheGent2020 → u/AllieOopClifton]

Damn I remember deshone Kizer. DTR might be worse. Kizer could at least take you to the red zone. Not sure what DTR can do.

[u/pseudotunas → u/JimmytheGent2020]

Overwork the punter?

[u/thewill450 → u/AllieOopClifton]

Thats DeShone "Body of Cam Newton with the mind of Tom Brady" Kizer to you

[u/dasruski → u/thewill450]

Now he runs an NFT company

[u/bigmt99 → u/AllieOopClifton]

DTR is definately worse than Kizer

[u/No_Map5131 → u/Floober440]

Who is this Garo fella

[u/EAsucks4324 → u/No_Map5131]

He was a kicker for the dolphins in the 70s. Had 1 infamous terrible pass trying to salvage a botched FG attempt.

[u/IShookMeAllNightLong → u/No_Map5131]

He's the only one mentioned I've never seen play.

[u/Geoffk123 → u/Floober440]

I can't believe that guy even has a win. What sorry excuse of a franchise gave that bum a win

[u/misterlakatos → u/Floober440]

The Dolphins-Browns game was an abomination.

There were no winners that day.

[u/ihatemcconaughey → u/DistortedAudio]

I was drunker than hell at that game and 3 or 4 drives in i told my friend I was done drinking bc I wanted to sober up and leave at halftime. You could tell this was beyond 1st game jitters. Good thing I stopped drinking, my life went into early labor that night lol.

[u/DogVacuum → u/ihatemcconaughey]

I met my dad at the bar, I think we made it 3 drives before we cashed out and left.

[u/layogurt → u/DistortedAudio]

Joe Webb was the worst I remember if I'm thinking of the right person. Got thrown to the dogs in the playoffs and literally couldn't complete a pass for quite a long time

[u/CAPTAIN-MAGMA → u/layogurt]

Kendall Hinton

[u/ReNGaR_ → u/CAPTAIN-MAGMA]

That doesnt count. he was a receiver forced to play QB cause of COVID rules. Joe Webb was a QB/WR

[u/Rhine1906 → u/layogurt]

Easy on my boy now! (Go Blazers)

I’ll never forgive whoever the OC was that night. They had a drive working with read options that ended in 3 and then decided “fuck it, chuck it Joe”

Which was never his strong point, even in college he was shaky as a consistent passer.

[u/Objective-History402 → u/DistortedAudio]

I was back in Ohio for the first time in years and decided to drive up for a game. Happened to be this game 😑

In all fairness, the odds weren't in my favor that I would have an enjoyable game to attend regardless.

[u/so_zetta_byte → u/DistortedAudio]

For some reason, I'll never forget the Jets game where we sacked Luke Fall 9 times. Eventually it stops being fun.

There was also the commanders game where we sacked Wentz 9 times but that was... different. Not because of catharsis, but because I started to get genuinely frustrated with him that it seemed like his bad habits were getting worse, not better.

[u/penis_showing_game → u/AllieOopClifton]

I could see the Raiders kicking the tires on him being that O’Connell is confirmed to be out 6-8 weeks and DTR was Chip Kelly’s QB at UCLA

[u/oscarnyc → u/penis_showing_game]

DTR is maybe a practice squad guy. He's nowhere close to a QB2.

[u/penis_showing_game → u/oscarnyc]

Oh I’m not saying he’d be QB2, but the only other QB on the roster besides Geno is 6th round rookie Cam Miller. I could absolutely see Chip bringing in DTR as QB3 or a practice squad player based purely on knowing the terminology and concepts of his offense.

[u/thehildabeast → u/AllieOopClifton]

He might be solid in the Spring leagues or Canada.

[u/FakePhillyCheezStake → u/thehildabeast]

Get ready to learn Canadian DTR

[u/takeme2tendieztown → u/FakePhillyCheezStake]

Eh?

[u/dasruski → u/takeme2tendieztown]

Poutine

[u/Con-D-Oriano1 → u/dasruski]

Sorry

[u/resnet152 → u/thehildabeast]

These guys are never ever good in Canada.

It's not entirely clear to me why either, maybe the rules and field dimensions are different enough that they're fish out of water.

[u/bradthewizard58 → u/resnet152]

As a Canadian who has family that loves the CFL - it mostly boils down to play style / offensive schemes, rules, and ball size.

The guys that are good here generally have stronger throwing arms as most throws you’re required to make are in the 8+ yard range. Theres less emphasis on accuracy and more about getting the ball to the spot it needs to be with as much zip as possible. Toss in the size and weight of the Canadian ball and suddenly guys who have less arm strength in college struggle to stick here.

[u/sad_on_sundays → u/AllieOopClifton]

At least we have his game winning drive against pittsburgh

[u/Not-a-bot-10 → u/[deleted]]

…. Why?

[u/on-the-cheeseburgers → u/Not-a-bot-10]

So people can ask him that exact thing in person

[u/buddaaaa → u/on-the-cheeseburgers]

This reminds me of the time I was in a Buenos Aires mall and, swear to god, saw a dude wearing a Broncos Paxton Lynch jersey.

It was 2023

[u/tuffghost8191 → u/buddaaaa]

I get someone being hyped about your teams first rounder and getting their jersey. I would be truly impressed though to see someone wearing a Steelers Paxton Lynch jersey

[u/BlackMathNerd → u/tuffghost8191]

I entirely forgot he played there

[u/toq-titan → u/on-the-cheeseburgers]

But why male models?

[u/Mastodon9 → u/AllieOopClifton]

It's a shame. That was the one QB our defense actually looked good against.

[u/angrynuggette → u/AllieOopClifton]

We can only hope.

[u/WhizzyBurp → u/AllieOopClifton]

All of my fellow Raiders are begging for him which is insane.

[u/Rhine1906 → u/AllieOopClifton]

“Prepare to learn Brahma buddy”

[u/jfb1027 → u/AllieOopClifton]

Hey, he made the shirt though, right?

[u/Ltrizzy → u/AllieOopClifton]

I never understood why Cleveland had such high hopes for him. The talk radio hosts kept hyping him up, but he never looked good. (I have to listen to Cleveland Sports Talk Radio, because of my geographic location. But it’s not as bad as listening to Pony, that would suck, it’s bad enough when he calls into Cleveland and embarrasses Pittsburgh.)

[u/LDisDBfathersonsfans → u/AllieOopClifton]

Browns being obsessed with giving this guy opportunities the last 2 years really highlights how bad their QB evaluation is

[u/DontLoseYourCool1 → u/AllieOopClifton]

He played for Chip Kelly in college and AOC just went down. I wouldn't be surprised if the Raiders sign him.

[u/Vi1eOne]

So just put all the receivers on the left

[u/A_1337_Canadian → u/Vi1eOne]

Mr Bad Coordination

[u/santeli]

This strikes me as news. I don't know why.

[u/anonbutler → u/santeli]

News for me that he was on the Eagles

[u/SoCalThrowAway7 → u/anonbutler]

He didn’t even play in the last preseason game. I kept expecting him to come in for McCord, especially since McCord wasn’t playing great and it just kept not happening

[u/TLAW1998 → u/santeli]

This probably means DTR is done with the NFL

[u/Interesting_Set1526]

NOOOOOO

[u/whenitsTimeyoullknow → u/Interesting_Set1526]

• DTR’s mom

[u/Rozkol → u/whenitsTimeyoullknow]

This has me howling laughing ty 😂

[u/QuinnTinIntheBin → u/Patient_Jicama_4217]

No dude, he was the future of this franchise. Now he’ll go somewhere else and win MVP AND the Super Bowl.

[u/Interesting_Set1526 → u/Patient_Jicama_4217]

Having a laugh

[u/SJCitizen]

This guy might actually be the worst NFL QB I’ve ever seen. At least Peterman has an okay NFL arm. This guy is legitimately not good at anything. Even Tim Boyle has 5x as many Touchdowns.

[u/Davy257 → u/SJCitizen]

Tim Boyle is a backup QB cockroach, I’ve never seen someone like him get so many opportunities

[u/WagonWheel22 → u/Davy257]

He’s basically a QB Coach that can play QB in a SHTF situation.

[u/TyButler2020 → u/WagonWheel22]

Was gonna say Boyle gets very high praise for his film work and helping the starting qb leading into the week

Rodgers demanded the packers kept him around because of that when he was there

[u/Maeserk → u/TyButler2020]

Rodgers is also probably the reason why Boyle signed with the Jets in 2023. Rodgers getting hurt (and Zach Wilson being ass) also was the reason why Boyle even got 2 starts that year; Saleh really started him to just prove a point just how ass their QB situation was.

[u/AtBat3 → u/WagonWheel22]

Especially when Boyle wasn’t even good in college. At least DTR had some decent years

[u/Dame2Miami → u/Davy257]

Boyle is 6’5” 240lbs. Everyone wants a body like that in the QB room, even with zero expectations.

[u/horse_renoir13 → u/Dame2Miami]

John Elway panting somewhere

[u/paultheschmoop → u/Dame2Miami]

I mean, body mass alone-

[u/TUN_Binary → u/SJCitizen]

I remember when he was the Brett Kollman preseason darling with the Browns.

[u/112519MAGA → u/SJCitizen]

I've seen many Browns QBs. DTR is legit the worst QB I've seen throw a football.

[u/Cupcake_and_Candybar → u/112519MAGA]

I still think Kizer was worst QB I’ve seen.

[u/JimmytheGent2020 → u/Cupcake_and_Candybar]

Kizer was at least able to move the ball down the field. He just threw back breaking picks in the red zone. DTR legit doesn't do anything good.

[u/Nightcinder → u/112519MAGA]

right up there with PJ

[u/112519MAGA → u/Nightcinder]

PJ is much better.

[u/Fineous40 → u/112519MAGA]

We have had so many that were just as bad.

[u/tuffghost8191 → u/SJCitizen]

Losing to a completely inept DTR led offense that barely squeaked out 13 points was what got Matt Canada fired

[u/Nightcinder → u/tuffghost8191]

you’re welcome

[u/Cifra00 → u/SJCitizen]

DTR is tied with Josh Allen and Joe Milton for the throw velocity record at the combine.

[u/Shits_McCockin → u/SJCitizen]

People always forgetting Akili Smith exists.

[u/hasselqu → u/SJCitizen]

I’m usually an optimist, but literally every single decision he made was wrong.

[u/Bruinrogue]

He was maddening to watch at UCLA and honestly surprised he managed to stay in the league all this time.

[u/Archelon225 → u/Bruinrogue]

For me it was always fun to watch DTR hit the legs and hurdle defenders in the Rose Bowl, but I was worried that his fundamentals on reading a defense and making accurate throws were shaky for league standards. Also he's fragile and afraid to run against NFL linebackers, so combine that with a lack of development and loss of confidence, and he doesn't seem to have any upside nowadays to offset his big flaws.

I thought he was pretty good for the Bruins in his last two years, that said we had a supporting cast of NFL skill players at the time and a Chip Kelly offense that didn't ask for heroics from the QB. I remember reading that he didn't even expect to be drafted, so he's probably been about as surprised as you that he stayed in the league for two years. Probably a good time for him to hang up the cleats, but if he wants a last chance maybe he can go knock on Chip's door at the Raiders.

[u/santeli → u/AKIRAYZY]

Yes I know, considering I'm replying to a post that says so. My point is which one would you actually want? As a Vikings fan even KOC couldn't recover Howell.

[u/shit_eating_fan → u/santeli]

Howell has actually won NFL games before and he actually played well vs. us when he was in Washington. He can at least sling it and maybe chuck coin flip balls to AJ or something like that

DTR is irredeemably ass.

Either way he's gonna be QB3 so it's only in disaster situations where he'd be playing. McKee is an amazing backup and if both QB's fall it's cooked anyway so it's whatever

[u/Sechzehn6861 → u/santeli]

Howell cut us up a few times. Sirianni thinks there's something there, seemingly. And he couldn't be much worse than DTR looked, really. In an ideal world it'll be academic and he won't see the field.

[u/Insectshelf3 → u/Sechzehn6861]

howell looked like a god against us, so yeah there’s something there. we’re fucked if howell/DTS see the field anyways so you might as well roll with the guy you know can sling it.

[u/Sechzehn6861 → u/Insectshelf3]

Our season will be truly fucked and the sky will be falling if Howell or whoever QB3 is starts a game that we need to win 😂

[u/athrowawayiguesslol → u/santeli]

DTR is one of the worst regular season QBs ever

[u/santeli → u/athrowawayiguesslol]

And Sam Howell strikes confidence. Got it. It's basically chicken or chicken. I guess Philly is ordering the chicken.

[u/athrowawayiguesslol → u/santeli]

Sam Howell has way more upside lol, I get you’re down on him but he’s been serviceable in the past. DTR has done nothing

[u/Floober440 → u/athrowawayiguesslol]

He's a nice dude but yeah, Howell is like a fucking Pro Bowler compared to DTR.

[u/santeli → u/athrowawayiguesslol]

Hey man unlike a lot of Vikings fans I have no grief with Philly so I hope he works out. Also treat my boy Durhan well. He'll throw a lot of unhittable strikes in the world series for y'all 

[u/ImagineIfBaconDied → u/santeli]

I don’t think you understand how bad DTR is

Sam Howell is bad, don’t get me wrong. He was awful in training camp and in the preseason. I am just as glad as you are that we traded him away

but Sam Howell looks like Tom Brady compared to DTR. DTR has thrown one touchdown and 10 INTs his NFL career and that’s just scratching the surface how bad he is

[u/Saitsuofleaves → u/santeli]

The answer is pray you never have to get to your 3rd String.

[u/FoxNews4Bigots → u/santeli]

Not a legit question lmao, dtr is gone and Howell is QB3

Wentz vs literally anybody else is the real question. Dude is open to being a mentor since....

[u/hockey17jp]

Legitimately has a case for worst QB in Cleveland Browns history … and that is saying something

[u/AwayYam199]

Raiders better fucking not

[u/Philadelphia_Bawlins → u/AwayYam199]

Huntley would make more sense

[u/Allyougame]

He lasted longer in the NFL than he should have.

[u/Jonjon428]

Poor guy

[u/TheMexecutior]

Qb factory not being able to salvage him is a bad sign

[u/Colorapt0r → u/TheMexecutior]

What are you talking about he hasn’t played for us yet 

[u/Ok-Face6245 → u/TheMexecutior]

He’s over lol

[u/gopoohgo]

Man, I remember being crushed when he chose UCLA over Michigan.  

Time flies.  Hopefully he latches onto another team

[u/Beahner]

Even if they had not went and got a backup to cover for McKee yet this was going to be an absolute given.

[u/IZY53]

We were getting trade offers for him after his first pre season, where he had a strong showing.
He was fast, had a zippy kind of arm. He beat out the Pastronaught for a roster spot.

Then when NFL came to real NFL games he was horrid, he did not throw a single layered throw, everything was a bullet pass and his accuracy was spotty.

He did have a win vs the steelers in a defensive battle and he had to show up with a couple of good throws.

But he really did collapse and regress as a passer even looking awful in this past pre season. From all accounts he is a student of the game, a good worker and in shape, but it seems liek a case of quick sand where, even his hard work leads to sinking.

I think a little of it is the curse of being a decent athlete, where he has not developed completely as a passer, hitting the 2nd level throw. As a passer he reminds me a little of Brandon Weeden, Weeden could not layer a throw to save his life, he had a great bullet pass, or that kind of baseball throw on a line pass, but getting it over a guy no chance.

As a QB you cannot just get better at your strengths, you have to have a variety of excellent tools. When Lamar Jackson came into the league, he was limited as a passer, but his athletic traits where so high he could get a way with it, and to his credit, he has developed into a heck of passer, the same with Josh Allen.

[u/RenaissanceHumanist]

He seemed to have great upside coming into the league for someone in his draft position, but he never developed and looked atrocious when given opportunity.

I hope he can find a good coach to unlock the potential some of us saw in him

[u/Dense_Young3797]

Raiders with the claim

[u/AllieOopClifton → u/Dense_Young3797]

You do not want him.

[u/Dense_Young3797 → u/AllieOopClifton]

I don't want him but Chip Kelly could want him and it would make sense

[u/SuperSmokingMonkey → u/Dense_Young3797]

Huntley is probably better option?

[u/Dense_Young3797 → u/SuperSmokingMonkey]

I don't think so. DTR has played a lot in that system, Is known perfectly by Chip Kelly and is from Las Vegas. That said, Huntley is better QB, of course

[u/jlgar → u/AllieOopClifton]

Shh, yes they do

[u/TwoLegitShiznit]

Now I got to see this guy's film. They watched Sam Howell this preseason and deduced that he's a clear upgrade. Was DTR taking the hike and immediately punting the ball into the stands? I'm so curious.

[u/Raider_r → u/TwoLegitShiznit]

Sam Howell has a 22:23 TD-INT ratio, while DTR's is 1:10. Howell is ass but DTR is solidly worse somehow

[u/Sechzehn6861 → u/TwoLegitShiznit]

DTR actively made our 2's and 3's worse in the game against the Browns. He was truly dreadful.

[u/mogwai316 → u/TwoLegitShiznit]

He did stuff like this in the preseason games he played in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qn1cIIkCzac

He was so bad that it was making it impossible to even evaluate our receivers, so they sat him for the 3rd game and let McCord play the entire game. DTR was clearly getting cut after that. The only I guess surprise is that McCord was unimpressive enough that they decided to get Howell.

[u/TheRoaringTide → u/mogwai316]

Man, that’s almost as funny as Kenny Pickett’s frontflip-spike

[u/TwoLegitShiznit → u/mogwai316]

If you're not a fan of that, don't watch this 😃

https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/s/2ppdEQXU60

[u/eaglesnation11 → u/TwoLegitShiznit]

He played most of the Browns game and he was so bad I don’t know how the coaching staff could evaluate anyone else on offense.

[u/Dangerpaladin → u/TwoLegitShiznit]

Howell isn't even on the same plane of existence as DTR. Sam Howell looked like he was just an untalented NFL QB. DTR looks like a scared puppy that got put in football pads on accident.
