Honestly, 2020 and 2021 were the years we sat on our asses like idiots. First being 2020. Love may have been the one we missed out on with a trade down or a trade up from our 2nd pick. And Hurts was a totally viable 2nd rounder to take a flier on after going DB. Love in particular was one of those top guys pre-college season, but he had a lot of TOs his last year and some iffy decision making pegged him back by scouts. If we hired a staff with a decent plan and vision (instead of Rhule and whatever he wanted to do) willing to groom him behind a vet, that may have been the money bet. 2021, it was Fields. We could've tried him on for size, even if it didn't work, it would have put us in position to draft a QB in 2024. It all sucks. We chased.

This aged well (less than 2 weeks). Imagine fleeing Ukraine to get away from violence only to get preventable death at the hands of a "misunderstood victim". The whole city needs a purge.

Garrett Nussmeier LaNorris Sellers Drew Allar Sam Leavitt John Mateer thank you.

Our scouts better be taking a good hard look at the college landscape after the opener. I hate this whole thing about giving the nice guy grace -- he has sucked, and it's just the reality of the situation. Yes, it sucks because he's a nice guy with good spirit, but it is what it is.

Brother what are you saying. Most NFL receivers make that catch. The ball was there. Renfrow dropped it. You talk about Legette like if he was one drag foot away from having a good game. He was a non factor out there. Bryce made mistakes, he also made plays. Again, he's not the reason we lost yesterday. But yeah, keep talking highly of all of his playmakers that actually make no plays.

And they had the nerve to call Cam inaccurate.

Yeah the Wilson ACL thing is and was a wild situation that is ultimately not an issue but we apparently didn't have the right intel to clear him.

Don't disagree but if we were determined to go with a RB, Corum was close in pre draft ranking to Brooks.

Start who? Brycen? C'mon now Renfrow can't start on the outside, so unless you're starting Brycen or a week 1 inactive in Horn Jr, until Coker comes back, XL has to be the starter by default. Again, this is why you don't trade Thielen, because yes, we had depth before, but depth is only good when you don't lose multiple of your top options, and Thielen and Coker were going to be our #2 and #3 this year, then we lost them 48 hours apart. And when Coker is back, he's the immediate starter on the outside, which I think can even be good for XL, as he could do well from the slot if you scheme some easy passes across the middle to him to let him then use his speed and strength to make plays with the ball in his hands.

Man you must really hate him. I've never seen someone spend so much of their time trashing someone.

He can fire as many people as he wants, David Tepper is the biggest problem this franchise has He should fire himself, worst owner(football wise) in the league

He literally took the job knowing his main goal was to fix Bryce as a certified QB whisperer lol. That is the only reason he was hired

I'm looking forward to the next narrative the Bryce supports try to spin up.

Breaking down their math. 3 incompletions were on the WR. 14 incompletions not on the WRs. certainly doesn’t add up to the WRs let him down and that’s why we had 70 passing yards with 8 minutes left in the game

Agreed, we are saying the same thing. I just don't think Canales not calling plays would make any difference on how bad he, this team, or our fans are.

10% of that 17.6% had to be XL...maybe more.

Attributes we need to focus on when searching for our next QB... 1) Can see over the steering wheel when driving 2) Can eat at restaurants without using a booster seat 3) Can ride the rollercoasters at Carowinds If we can find someone who can hit on all 3 of those, might just be onto something

Can we just ask really nicely for Kevin O'Connell?

Ok now do a ranking of efficiency on small time throws

Bryce also has a very low completion % Sunday. 30th ranked at 51.4%.

Just like I thought a lot of bad passes!

Haha One thing I know is that I'm not one to complain in retrospect much, only when it's super damn obvious. That draft was soooo damn obvious. So f*cking clear what we needed to do. And it was hard to stomach for a lot of us. I was not a Legette fan, just had to accept it and hope he was aight. It was just like Mingo. A guy most consensus had late 2nd/early 3rd at best. If anything, Legette was a bigger reach than Mingo. And we all felt it for some time after that draft. It didn't feel good. If anyone goes back, I was a Frazier, Sainristil, Pearsall, and Kneeland fan. Could've gone BPA at so many critical spots rather than a cheerleading "fun" local interview. I'll never forget an Athletic Pod with Brugler breaking down Legette. He mentioned how he had spoke with a lot of teams and most of the league had him highest, a 3rd rounder. There was one or two teams that had him much higher than others. Voila.

I didn't say SB contender. Far from it. The D is quietly every bit as bad as the offense. The head coach is responsible for more than just the offense.
