Not a franchise changing guy, but there's only a handful of those in the league. His peak is probably a Top 12-15 QB with a great situation around him. Is that the answer you want? No, but is it better than some? Sure...but he's still got to get to that top end level on a consistent basis which seems highly unlikely.

Please Lord let the 2026 draft class be similar to this one. At this point, if we get a little out of 2024 (even if depth), a *hopefully* great 2025 that gives multiple starters, and then put together another good group in 2026...that's how you rebuild. Build the rest of the team, and then Bryce has either proven enough to stay on at a discounted starter salary, or the roster is built for the next rookie QB contract or plop a vet down and roll.

Even if you have an average LT...you bite the bullet and pay them and figure it out. Because the other side of that coin is Byron Bell or trying to find a LT again for a few years.

Jets opened as favorites...now dogs. ...anybody else bet against the Panthers as a happiness hedge every week? Jump on in now, Jets money line is +100. Panthers lose, win money for our troubles. Panthers win, I'm happy to lose my money.

Dak didn't handle pressure well yesterday, and we can't get home with 4. But we rarely blitzed, letting him sit back and pick holes in the zone. The play with the ridiculous roughing call...perfect play to force a turnover with the airball he threw up. If we want to take the next step, Evero has to trust the secondary to cover and bring the blitz if we're going to force any turnovers or get sacks.

More reason to play the young guys. He didn't have a great camp, but plays well in the game. Jimmy Horn couldn't get a jersey the first few weeks...makes plays now that he's on the field. Let the rookies eat.

Hold Dallas to 20 and I'll be a believer. Because I'm scared Jake Ferguson is going to put up 20 by himself.

Stats may say the complete opposite, but I swear Bryce is better and shows great glimpses when he doesn't have time to think. Feel like down the stretch last year he was one of the best against blitzes, but also may have to do with opening the middle of the field up. The throw in the video, he had one play here and no time to think about it. If he could play loose, I think this is closer to the Bryce we get. I think his "super processing" is actually not the strength people wanted it to be, but his biggest hinderance. He overthinks, he screws up.

Knock on wood, this entire draft class seems legit so far. Add another similar class in 2026, and we're finally on the right track.

The Tepper move is 100% to want Belichick thinking that fixes our problems after striking out so much Let's see how much more he can screw up the franchise when JordON and Nicole are assistant GMs

Obviously a crazy jump straight to HC, but he's the one guy I'd think could (eventually) do it. There would be rough patches, but put a former HC on his staff to help. Ron would want no part of Tepper again, and doubt Wilks would unless one of them just did Luke the solid of a lifetime. Build a time machine, keep Wilks as HC, hire Luke as his LB coach, transition to DC, and now he'd be ready.

Rico to a RB needy team like the Cardinals could work XL to anyone willing to take a chance Not much else IMO

I *think* he does though. Obviously until Tepper changes his mind or we end up 1-15, but I think Dave was told he has three years. The part that kills me with that though, and maybe makes it untrue, if you have 3 years...why play scared? Why run on 3rd and 10s? If you don't trust Bryce, throw him to the wolves and let Tepper see he's the obvious problem...but play normal football instead of scared. The whole operation is insane. For whatever reason, I still trust Morgan and Tillis for another year. But everybody else? Woof.

But Scott can communicate!!! - Evero And get a tripping penalty on a 3rd and Goal from the 30 to allow a first down. Until Nick Scott is cut or on the bench, Evero is an unserious coach incapable of changing.

Could be said for a lot of coaches here, but also as far as Evero goes... Didn't develop DJ Johnson or Jammie Robinson Trevin Wallace still has hope, but that's fading fast and Payton Wilson was on the board. So far, Wallace looks like depth/ST at best. Crumedy is a 53rd man on a bad roster. Chau Smith-Wade has been solid And this year...Canales has basically said to play the rookies, so we'll see. I have hopes for all the defensive rookies and think they've all shown promise. But...how much of that is actually *finally* drafting a good player vs. anything Evero did in a couple of months? As far as offense goes? Whoof...might somehow be even worse.
