And I thought Peter Angelos was bad. The Orioles sucked for years under his ownership. He was going to let his young talent go until they finally sold the O's. Sadly, Tepper makes money no bad how this team is. He'll never change.

In agreement with you. We signed all these run-stuffing D-linemen and they seemed MIA. I defense od Evero we had several new pieces on the field that we not part of our training camp. We better see weekly improvement there.

I think Canales will be a better QB whisperer with Plummer than Young. Plummer has some tools that he can work with. Sadly, Tepper will insist to keep Young in the lineup until it's too late.

We gave him a o-line, we gave him weapons and a head coach that is supposed to be a quarterback whisperer and nothing has changed. He has one good throw and 6 terrible throws. It's pretty clear he's not the answer. I've always been pretty optimistic but this is out of hand. Give Plummer the helm and let him grow. It's sad after one half of football and I'm looking at the #1 pick for the 2nd year in a row.

It's better than 14 posts on the same topic.

I tell you what. Frank Gore Jr. Reminds me so much of Terrell Davis. He runs hard and is difficult to go down. After running for 100 yards against us last week you would think he's on our radar. Definitely than Blackshear.

I agree. New England has zero WR help. Maybe Buffalo because of Joe Brady.

Plummer, for a rookie, played well Saturday. I can see him on the PS and continue to develop and could be a good backup in 2025 and beyond. Don't think he's starting material but might be a solid backup.

Last week I was watching the Pat McAfee show and he had Billicheat on. Billicheat said a lot of good things about training camp and preseason. He said the preseason was more about evaluating players and their technique and in game experience over team play. You're looking at guys who are fighting for a roster spot. No one really gives a damn whether they win or lose. It's more about evaluation.

I think the possibility of a trade will depend on how this team is trending. Are we playing well and just need a few more pieces? Or do we need to continue to build through the draft and get younger players to grow in our scheme. I believe if we are trending upwards Horn doesn't go anywhere. If we aren't improving than getting draft picks and build through the draft than Horn might be available. Hopefully, Morgan does not undervalue Horn. I believe Horn will play every game this year or at least to the trade deadline. If he plays every game without injury to the trade deadline I think we can get a 1st and at minimum a 3rd for him.

I like the addtions on defense and believe our defense is going to keep us in many games. If the offense can put us in the 20-24 point range we might just have an above .500 season. No one gave Houston a shot at making the playoffs this time last season. Why can we duplicate what Houston did in 2023. 9-8 and in the wild card hunt. Gotta love optimism.

More of a conversation. I still have hopes that BY shows with some weapons and a legitimate offense line he's going to be better.

Definitely see your point. However, he made Geno Smith 22 and Baker Mayfield 23 Pro Bowl QBs. I would venture to say Prescott is a better QB than both of those guys.

A) I said IF. B) The past two seasons Canales has shown he knows what he's doing. Because Young couldn't grasp his training doesn't mean he's not a QB whisperer.

Agreed. If he would take a very respectable deal leaving us a little money to add more playmakers I'd be more then happy with a top 15 QB running the show here. To me this is the biggest drawback. Part of the issue with DP is he wants top dollar.

Come on, man. You know you miss the potbellied Matt Fhule.

If in 2024 Brice Young doesn't show improvement and there aren't any surefire franchise QBs in the 2025 draft. Dak is done in Dallas after 2024. Would you consider Dak? For me I've never been a huge Prescott fan but with Canales's ability to bring a QB along it's an interesting thought.

What this doesn't show is whether BY was up to his ass in defenders crawling all over him. Before we pass judgment for 2024 how about we wait and see if a stud O-line makes a difference.

At least he didn't say he wanted to be like Ian Thomas.

This is just the beginning. Pro Football Hall of Fame is next. He was a defensive coordinator worst nightmare. My favorite thing about 89 is he didn't back down to anyone. MJ is the GOAT but I cannot think of anyone that took smack talking to a level of MJ other than Agent 89. I will never forget Fred Smoot talking how he was going to shut Smitty down. After that game Smoot was never the same. Plus I was estatic to have seen that game live.

Can't wait to see him against NFL talent. ME NEITHER

Agreed That said, 2024 there should be no more excuses. BY will have several new targets, an improved O-line and a more competent coaching staff this year. He just needs to play better. If he's continues to make mistakes or just can't get the job done than we need to move on in 2025.

He'll make a reasonable improvement ~ 24 TD 3000 yards and well be competing for division I think something close to this is the only thing that keeps us from drafting a QB in 2025. Anything less we're wasting years.

Once it gets closer to training camp their asking price is going to come down significantly. Once you skip a year of playing at their age they will soon be forgotten.
