I hope he finds his lane in year 2. Now that we signed Walker, I'm really intrigued how Dan feels about the DL. Is there a piece there in R1 that presents value/BPA and fills a void for one of the spots w/ DB and Wharton. I'll give Wharton another year to show us why he was signed here. With A'Shawn gone, I don't think BBIII is it. Our edges are set and our LBs are balanced. Horn/Mike Jack and Moehrig will hold the secondary together. DB is, well...DB. However, I think this is an area that is the biggest question mark right now. I see 1 of 3 spots that are locked and loaded for us. If we move to a 4 down front, I assume Phillips would slide down to be the additional linemen, but we still have questions about the other two spots in either scheme. I'd feel better with a tradeback, but I do wonder how McDonald would do here. Maybe Woods....but McDonald really does peek my interest. Or, can Jackson take that next step. The coaching staff speaks highly of him for what little he played. Here's hoping he stays healthy and comes into TC with something to prove. There's a spot to be taken, here's hoping he takes it.

Not many people talking about DT, but we have a need. (DE) Now this guy is a NT like Brown III

But is it about letting Bryce develop or about winning games? Bryce has not been good enough to be an uncontested starter. He just hasn't. How many times has last drive Bryce shown up for 4 entire quarters? Once in 3 seasons? You aren't going to win 9 or 10 one score games every season year in and year out. You may want Bryce in the last 2 minutes. I want that Bryce the full 60. No one is saying you have to give up on him, but bringing in another QB that can do anything is not hindering Bryce. It helps the team and that's where the focus needs to be. If drafting Sadiq to plague the middle of the field would help out offense, but Bryce struggles to get pass into the middle of the field, is Sadiq a bad pick? Or could he be a good pick with a better option at QB? We can't be afraid to improve. QB, TE, OL, LB, DL, CB, S. It doesn't matter. The goal is SBs, not 5 to 8 years seeing waiting to see if Bryce can develop while the rest of the league keeps passing us by. Sadiq is a nice option, but I think we have to address tackle if one we like is there because we are painfully thin after this year, a LB to general the field, and a true ball hawking safety that can set the tone in the secondary. Those 3 positions are bigger game changers than a TE that will likely struggle to make a round 1 impact in this offense.

Lil Stanky 100% in the dot tonight... And our 2nd line has been our best offensive line this season. Maybe our 2C really was on the roster this whole time...?

That’s a grade I kind of expected tbh. I’m not a huge fan of NS, but he’s not as bad as what the huddle says he is minus the horrible game he had vs the Rams. I’ve always thought he’s often used as a scapegoat. The improved pass rush should hide his deficiencies a little bit better if he’s the game one starter. FS might have to be a position we punt on this year unless Thieneman falls to us at 19. The reality is, you're going to have a few average players in certain spots for a team with as many holes we had before free agency started. You can’t sign everyone.

I am by no means trying to say he's a world beater. I'm saying it's trending in the right direction. Especially when measured against himself.i think the team feel the same way or else they wouldn't have picked up his option. Plus I think there is a new idea in the NFL about these young QBs. Teams give up to soon. Browns gave up to soon on baker same with the jets on Geno and darnold. Maybe they are who you thought they were in the draft process and they need more time to develop than you originally planned. Either way. I do think he is as capable as darnold is as far as you can win a championship with him. And something he does have that darnold doesn't is he is clutch. If I need one more drive and 2 mins to go I'm betting on Bryce and I am far from a homer, just going off his game winning drives. He has that dog in him on the last drive.

People might be talking about prioritizing drafting some. We need to turn some of these salaries over. Get some young cheap guys in place of 100 million commitments. In the next couple of years.

Kind of partial to him myself.

I had other QBs I was interested in and had no interest in Picket. Don’t ask me I can’t explain it. I will say if the team is good enough to win with Bryce it is probably good enough to win with Picket.

You don't draft a mid round Qb with potential to stick him on the practice squad. He needs reps and that's gonna come as QB2. It's Bryce and KP or bust. I feel like we're playing roulette trying to outsmart the house. Maybe we win big, but the odds aren't in our favor.

I'm not sure what metric most of these people are going by, but I damn sure wouldn't trust it. 16 games to barely pass 3k yards on a Stanford band pass. Yes he had 27TD passes but the offense was stagnant a lot of the time. He never had 2 games back to back of franchise QB level play. He had moments that were good but more that were bad. He was outplayed by a backup QB in Arizona. Compared to his rookie year, Bryce had a good season. Compared to the other franchise QBs in the NFL, Bryce barely made it to the finish line.

maybe, since it was against a top team. Definitely one of the best played 3rd periods in a while.

It's about time? We've been prioritizing the OL. In 2024 we were 4th in OL salary In 2025 we were 1st in OL salary In 2026 we are once again 1st in OL salary That's three years running. We didn't just start doing this. So the results on the field should be speeding forward to match up with the salary cap we are burning through. But they aren't. In 2025 we were 27th in total YPG. In 2024 we were 29th in total YPG. Are any of you actually expecting us to field a top 20 offense in 2026 or are we just setting the bar at winning free agency?

That's going a little too far.

Eric Norwood was like that--of course, you could say Thomas Davis was too as a rookie

wth Fandual South cut away from canes postgame for. BB game and it’s not the Hornets

Look at all the successful teams in recent years. Most of them have great tight ends.

I just don't think it's fair to all the other guys on the roster nor is it logical to have the only other option on the roster be Kenny Pickett. For better or worse the FO is going all in this season. I mean if we're being realistic what are the odds that Bryce Young just suddenly stops playing awful football at the beginning of the season after 3 consecutive years of doing so and now about 50 games worth of tape under his belt? Even 50/50 seems highly optimistic wouldn't you say? I don't see adding a mid round QB with potential as proving a point I see it as operating like a smart football team for a change. And because of that I feel it's unlikely to happen so I'll be quite surprised if they actually do it. We'll see.

Its possible. Given the situation we will be in the best position to evaluate his recovery. Other teams might be reluctant to pony up. Bad for Icky but given we cant change history it might be ok for the team being in play for LT, RT, or even guard. I try to be optimistic

Now show me R-boom and BC ion cheap deals and call it a free agency And maybe a DT And that TE you are looking into And the punter And Curhan

To clarify, I’m not saying Bryce has been top 15 to date. I think he will be soon and will remain one for a decade if we continue to surround him with talent and OL support. Last season, his 3rd, was undoubtedly the best core of receivers he’s had for a season, and it featured a rookie and 2nd year UDFA as the top two. It’s coming. We’re building it. Time to arrive soon. Obviously, if he isn’t solidly top 15 over the next 1.5 years, we’ll be looking for a replacement.

Best win of the year nominee??
