"Young and the offense dragging the 16th ranked defense." Please check our bottom 3rd offensive production. I can't take it serious after that. Defense needed work, but the offensive passing game sucked, and that starts with Bryce.

We were coming off 7 wins and traded up from 9. We weren't a train wreck while Wilks was the interim.

The offense is limited due to the midget at QB. 5'10, 180'ish pounds confirmed in a presser by Canales last season after being questioned about the "lack of QB sneak calls" on 1 yard or less situaions. Canales imo overall has gotten the most out of this team all things considered. He inherited Bryce.

We need a QB that can do more than Bryce, he LIMITS THE OFFENSE IMMENSELY.

This, other than being the BEST, WORST option. So few options out there, you dance with the devil you know essentially is how it feels, but damn its depressing. His floor is low af as we have seen, and there's no ceiling, he's not going to get "much" better, if at all. Front office seems dead set on being "right" about the trade up, but as we have seen these small QBs don't work. Murray's better than Bryce and is out, Tua as well, Wilson capped out after that defense was done, and they had to pay him.

Might be a little too much Kool aid, those Rico games mask how pedestrian Bryce was,and earned us a few wins to stay afloat. We lost 4 of 5 down the stretch as we controlled our own destiny, and we moonwalked into the playoffs off of whacky tie breakers. We over achieved last year. 6-11 is pretty conservative but I also don't think its that far off the mark. If we finish over .500 (primarily because Bryce is our QB) I'll be surprised.

Who else at DT was available coming off a 6.5 sack season, that was relatively affordable? We took the Milton Williams money and added Turk AND Bobby Brown III. You can't predict soft tissue, and surgery in this case. Part of the business.

Preferred Freeling over Bain Jr. I like what we've done in the Edge room (Phillips / Scourton / Princely / Jones) as the primary four. Keep the arguable 2nd most important position (LT) on the team strong / deep / cost-effective (4M for Walker / Rookie deal for Freeling) and relatively future-proof in the event Ickey can't return to form. If Ickey returns, he takes over the cap hit Moton currently accounts for after he is eventually released outside of other contractual options, and the OL cost balances back out as it relates to the cap.

Damn...lol.

This is it...from day one. I don't know how people can dilute their football senses enough to EVER think Bryce is anything more than what he is...and thats a below average starter, if even that, with no real upside.

Tremble was a 3rd, day 2, just fyi.

If we extend him, it will set us back. Anyone blind to his body of work needs to be examined, he is simply not good.

Wallace was playing well before injury, especially after his role and Rozeboom's were swapped. He's literally going into year 3, as a 3rd round pick. Let's calm down a little.

Horn Jr.

If that happens, fug man. This my team, but being subjected to Bryce on an extension if we witness the current level of play in 26' might make me just watch from afar til he's gone. He's made some plays, but atleast guys like Sam, and Baker have LEGIT NFL upper level arm talent. Bryce isn't competing in that dept. and it limits the offense overall.

Never seen a QB get this kind of grace while being THIS MID. Honestly, statistically he's been bottom 3rd. So below mid.

Sees no blame in himself.... Yet, he "Gives up play-calling", and we bring in Bevell. Y'all Bryce stans just make poo up.

With Bryce,

Philips, and Lloyd were first round picks. They are proven, and were just added via cap versus picks. Obviously the offense still needs to catch-up to other NFL teams.

If we're talking weakest side of the ball its probably the offense now. And the need on offense is TE, its the most "meh" position group atm. However premium positions like T, Edge, DL, and WR are more likely due to cost to retain.

This, and also ''how'' the 1st year of the deal actually pays. As an example, Phillips' first year is 9M. Whereas in 27, and beyond, the cap hit is much higher at 30M+. However, future restructures / extensions can address the new, higher cap hits if needed. A'Shawn Robinson was also released, and that created 10M in space. Moving on from Andy (eventually), I believe, will also add another 4M eventually.

I think its on the draft board, just a spot I forgot to add a "yellow" TBD.

Here's a brief look at where we are after the initial wave of free agency. The ''yellow'' TBD spaces are areas we still need / could add players, and those in ''red'' are players that will either not be on the team this upcoming season or will likely start on IR. Just a little something to help us get an idea of positions where we still have holes / could use an upgrade *cough* LT.

This is correct, he's playing Safety.

If he made it to 19, I think this would be a no brainer. Though depending on FA, I think OT is definitely in the mix.
