Maybe it's just me but I think the team plays a lot better if Young sits because players know when a guy is not ready so I'm sure most the team knew by game 3 of the Young era they was not going to be much. Imagine a soon to be FA knowing that your next job depends on a over his head rookie making the team look good so everyone don't think all players on the worst team stink.

Coaches always say the best will play no matter your draft spot then they turn around and put in a guy that is clearly not ready, how would you feel knowing you don't have much of a chance. WRs got a raw deal last season everyone wants to blame them but there was plenty of times they where open just didnt get the ball or all the WRs running the same curl routes over and over all season because the coaches didn't trust Young so it made everyone look bad because the D knew what was coming...

Should have kept Cam 1 more yr drafted Fields to learn under him then we would be in a better position now

Everyone loves to say trade down get more picks, but all the trade downs just got more bodies but lesser players. I wouldn't trade down or up you have just as good a chance to get good players where your draft spot is...

Houston would have taken Young over Stroud. He was  consensus No. 1. Hindsight is 20/20.  Not sure why you are baffled.

 

 

 

Says who? If they wanted Young they could have traded up to get him.(Like I think Car was hoping they would do) Even before the draft Hou HC said " I don't think Car is taking the QB we want" so why trade up. They got the QB they wanted the OFF rookie of the year. Car tried to get cute to control the draft but was stuck at #1, even the owner said they was think Hou would get #1 and they would take Stroud at #2 so that came out his mouth.. No hindsight never wanted Young based on the tape before the draft. All was proved right with how bad a yr he had. Not saying he can't get better but all the major red flags from his COLLEGE tape showed up last year... 

Hate when ppl act like everyone loved Young till he looked like poo...

Burns quitting on his team over money showed his true colors. He got exactly what he deserved. The NY sports media. One trick pony better find paydirt in the NFC East. I’d have let him go for a pack of grape big league chew so I’m really pretty pleased with what we got. 

As much as I disagree with forking over big $ for free agents in the beginning stages of FA, nothing they’ve done has been out of line. I’ll be patient and hopefully less synical. 

Everyone was so ready to run Peppers out of town also...

Burns is 25 our rookie edge from last season is the same age and had 0 sacks.

Sacks don't tell the whole story and we will see what he did for this team this up coming season.

Not Burns fault they didn't sign him heading into his last season so his pay would have been lower and people act like the cap isn't jumping up every season. The longer you wait to pay a guy the more it cost. Im sure most ppl would take less pay at work.

SF gave up the 4th fewest points in the NFL last season. If not for a ST mistake on punt return KC would not have scored so easy to get the game back close... SMH

They didn't lose because of the D they lost because the O stopped running the ball in the 3rd and went pass happy like the last time the HC was in a SB. Guess you have to blame someone and can't just say I messed up on O..

Should have gave him a shot Panthers would have won just as many games(if not more with a real WR #1) and still have the #1 pick... 

Wasted 2 draft picks on a guy you never got to see in a real game.

Seeing as how ole Tepp wanted him so bad its probably a good thing he didn't come here he would look just as bad as his other HC hires... 

Sounds like he not ready for the big chair just yet, when the time is right if ever he will get his shot ..

Also of note,  Brady Christensen might be the only offensive lineman we hit on as well if ickey looks the same next year.

To me Ickey looked more lost then anything, I'm willing to say that was more bad coaching then talent. Teams ran all kinds of line stuns all season and it seem to work all year over there.

He wasn't the best at pass blocking coming in but having to block for a QB in shotgun all day probably don't fit his game tho

BC should have always been the backup LT/swing T don't know why Rhule never gave him a shot to see what he had in him at his natural position... 

This is just the start.

A lot of dumb people out there who paid to see the game. They said it did better then the same time slot last year... Omg

Get ready for having to pay to see playoff games, becoming more common because as holes don't see that once they see you are willing to pay they will keep doing it.

The people missed there chance to stop this bs...

There was nothing Young did better then Stroud from what I seen. All everyone said about Young was off script this, off script that. Then he gets to the NFL he needs a all star OL where his so called off script skills wouldn't be needed ...

Leave the NFL in the US..

Tax payers are paying for stadiums and the real fans buy stuff and made the NFL what it is, so sure take games from the fans that got you to where you are today.

problem is they still scored 9 and we would have only had seven and we weren't scoring more and than 7

1 TD fumbled at the 1, and 1 TD called back for illegal formation because the WR lined up off the line. That's 14 points and the kicker missed a fg that's 17points....

Locked on is my only every day good 30mins in the mornings. Also Unnecessary Bl is also a good one from a real fan perspective 

90% of the he time Young under center it's a run.

You telling me a NFL DC don't see this? Young cant play a normal NFL offense and it tips the play call.

Stroud doesn't have this problem or arm strength issues so every play and formation is on the table.

Everything you ever needed to know about Fitter you saw on display when Tepper threw his drink at the end of the Jags game. 

 

Let's you know he has seen worse... lol 

He wasn't shocked at all...

Fitt is Tepps yes man, so I wouldn't be shocked if he stays. He already apologize to him for getting him to trade to #1 when they had a deal to move up to #3.

Tepp may feel like it's not all on Fitts since he is the real one calling shots and overriding some calls.

When throwing a cup of water, I'm sure it didn't land on one person. So if one guy talking junk did everyone near him need to get wet? 

After a showing like that  I'm sure Tep was wanting to throw something...lol

This is why I never get the tank it people. There are good players all over the draft a good GM can find talent. A bad GM even with the #1 pick can pick a crappy player.

I just find it funny CMC was on the sidelines with us most of the time injured. Now he is in MVP consideration with the 9ers and hasn’t missed 1 game? We are truly a cursed franchise.

He was never hurt where he couldn't come back later in the season but since the team was so bad the thinking was why bring him back to get more hits on his body when it's a lost season. If the team was any good or making the playoffs best believe he wouldn't have missed as many games. Just look at the injurys he had.

This D has turned Chinn into a special teamer.. I don't get why he doesn't get on the field much. 

Glad I'm not the only 1 that every time I hear about Anticipation I think guessing or hoping and praying a guy is where he should be as the play was drawn up. Seems like picks waiting to happen in the NFL if that's all you have.

If you have to take your starting QB off the field for a sneak there's nothing more that needs to be said.

Had the layup pick with Stroud. Had all the intangibles we seeked. We got cute. We got burned.

They really thought they where going to get the Texans to trade up to #1 to get some capital back. Come to find out the Texans wanted Stroud all along not Young 

The one time you should throw short to the open RB on 4th Young goes deep to #19
