Whimsical when someone starts a thread and self owns in the first post

Yep. 2 most important positions on offense and it looks like they could potentially have gotten both in a single draft. Hard to argue with that.

The panthers blitzed on 3 of the last seven plays. It was Rozeboom and you can argue he shouldn’t be on the field but still the touchdown throw was a great throw great catch against good defense agains the boundary where the tight end also somehow defied the laws of physics. They practice too this was after horn went out the series before and I think Cherelus but I can’t be sure I just don’t understand what people expect in that situation. All out blitz every play? This isn’t madden. you can argue we should have used timeouts, but a lot of that is based on where they are on the field. They scored from just outside the 20. Panthers call a timeout then the rams get to change their personnel. Panthers have the personnel advantage (in theory) in that situation, and you can make the argument you don’t want to give them a chance to change. the rams just made an insane play. regardless, if you want more timeouts called, that’s on Canales, not evero.

Simplistically looking at it we should have finished 8th. Picking 8th and all. I would bet it never works out like that. I think they did a great job too.

If we don't sign a quality vet and draft a developmental QB I will retract my statement.

I like him but I would worry a little with burnout with Tomlin.

The first 6 games of the season had TMac with 0 NFL experience and XL with his 54% catch rate as the number 1 and 2 receivers. They combined for 46/82 catches (56.1%), 539 yards (11.72 yds /rec ) and Young had 11 TDs and 8 TOs. The last 6 games had a more experienced TMac and Coker as the number 1 and 2 receivers and they combined for 49/69 catches (71 %), 732 yards (14.94 yds/rec) and Young had 11 TD’s and only 3 TO’s. Some people around here believe a QBs’ performance works in a vacuum. It doesn’t. No doubt a lot of Young’s inconsistencies are his own fault but he has shown improvement since Coker returned and started getting more playing time. That with the fact TMac will have an entire year of experience means there should be a lot more games like Saturdays’ next year.

OP in real life..

These stats don't mean anything. It doesn't correlate to winning the actual football game at all. Bryce played better than Caleb Williams according to stats but Willams won. Jordan Love played better than Bryce but lost. Everyone is so focused that one player makes the whole team. Yes the QB is the most important position, but there are 21 other guys who influence the game too.

I know... I'm curious what exactly the OP thinks this means. He had a decent game, as did a number of quarterbacks. Not all of them won their games, heh. Ultimately his season was pretty bad lol

you mean wide, wide open. some of those guys were open by 6 yards.

Are we including their contracts? Haha. If so I'd add Lawrence and maaaaaybe Herbert to the list I wouldn't trade for (I'd probably still take Herbert lol). I was happy with Bryce's performance and all but the op seems to think we should read more into it than I think we need to.

For reference here's Bryce's passer rating for the season and the peers amongst him in comparison. Not great company. It certainly lines up with what I've seen with my own two eyes.

Saints game was merely a small side note. There is NO defending how Evero played the end of that Rams game. We picked the worst outcome. You don't play that far off when they have 3 timeouts and 2:20 left. You play aggressive and hope for a turnover/sack or quickly get burnt over the top, which still allows us PLENTY of time to win the game ourselves. You ain't preachin to nobody, I fuggin despise Bryce Young's sorry ass, that has nothing to do with Evero playing pussy ball to end a playoff game.

I don't care what anyone says. It feels great to be NFC South Champs again. The playoff game gave me lots of hope for next year. TMac & Coker, Horn & Jackson... big D Brown finding the love of football again. I think we're back.

There's no emotion involved at all. We all, quite literally, watched these events unfold on the field. Two games were 30 point blowouts. The point differential is an extremely misleading measure. Your logic evaporates when you say the team isn't ready to be a contender, yet literally was highly competitive against, and in some cases better than the best teams in the league. You WILL see that this team, no matter what pieces are added in the offseason, will continue to underperform with Bryce Young (barring significant improvement and consistency) at QB. The easiest way to look at it... It's utterly delusional to suggest that if we had someone like Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson at QB that we wouldn't have been demolishing our competition throughout the season.

Total QBR has a “clutch” adjustment that ESPN won’t give specifics on Should tell you everything you need to know

In a word, yes, if that's the way you look at it. Any time you start adjusting based on opponents, things get even murkier.

I'd think most rational fans are happy with his playoff performance. Most just want to see him have consistency and his lows not be so low throughout the regular season.

He had a good game. But one every few isn't enough to get it done. Not for the number one pick

That's easy. Because I'm comparing it to "Total QBR." All of this is within the context of the chart. If you don't like QBR, then you're probably going to hate Total QBR worse.

Inconsistent is Bryce's middile name

So easier to fabricate?
