Teams that have clearly established WR1 and WR2 roles that are both legit threats. Miami - Hill and Waddle Dallas - Lamb and Pickens Detroit - St Brown and Williams Rams - Puka and Adams Eagles - Brown and Smith Tampa - Evans and Godwin Cinci- Chase and Higgins Chargers - McConkey and Allen Too soon to tell Chicago - Moore and Odunze Giants - Nabors and Robinson Thats it really. You could argue Pittman and Pierce in Indy but one of them is always hurt it seems. Of the 32 teams, those are the only ones that if you took away the WR1, the 2 could step into the role. Those are the only clear WR1 and WR2 in the NFL right now imo.

I guess all the air getting let out of the building sounds different from Sphincter Stadium.

Here's the truth. This ain't college and it damn sure ain't Bama thats got a much better talent pool than almost anyone they played against by far other than Georgia. Players don't make the transition from college to the NFL all the time. All teams have QB issues. Certain coaches can spot QB talent like Andy Reid but those are extremely rare and a unicorn as much as a Tom Brady is.

Yes. Its not common for teams to have legit WR1 and WR2 spots. Not many teams have a Chase/Higgins or Hill/Waddle. It's usually WR1 and whoever stands out at WR2. Great QBs elevate the players around them. Great coaches realize when players aren't getting it done and put their ass on the bench and replace them with someone who will. It's not on the QB alone.

Me either. He was right hand man with one of the worst GMs imo the NFL has ever seen. I still think Tepper, or his evaluation model/algorithm is heavily involved in our process somehow. If our top 3 work out we'll this year, I'm not sure that's a good thing for us long term, as least as far as Daddy Dave's involvement in our selection process.

Darnold and Baker weren’t as bad as we made them which is impressive because Sam was terrible before he got here.

He may have his priorities straight. If he’s happy doing what he’s doing, why risk permanent body or brain injury? It sucks for us, and we could and should have drafted someone else. Just more proof our scouting department needs serious overhaul.

This is why Ive always thought Bryce was a Dave and Nicole pick and been doomed to failure from the beginning. If you look at Frank and his past offense, Bryce was always the least likely to fit. Square peg in a round hole. That's not saying anything against Bryce. He was put in a bad position from the very beginning with a coach who didnt want him because his skill set didnt fit what he does as well as Stroud's did. And that was obvious because Frank didnt care once Bryce was drafted. He didnt even get an opportunity to do his job so why pretend to care. Bryce needs an offense specifically designed around him, but that wasn't going to be Frank because Dave overruled him even choosing his own QB, and now DC whose offense isn't really built around Bryce's style either. You gotta let a HC chose his QB and instead we've been trying to find a HC to fit our QB which is a much larger ask and we have a leftover hire at GM from one of the worst GMs in NFL history. This whole thing has been fugged from the beginning. And whether youre a Bryce lover or hater, the clear issue is Dave and Nicole made a franchise defining football decision without understanding football.

Weve done quite a few trades in our history. Even the Olsen trade was a player for a pick. When you look at our trades across the board, we've been on the losing end far more than we've been successful or broke even.

Good trade, but the fact that we're considering this possibly the 2nd best trade in 3 decades is pretty damning of how awful our GMs have been.

Philly is always going to be low. They do half a dozen tush pushes a game or more.

We also need them to pan out because we can't afford to blow more second round picks. We've wasted so many day 2 picks in the past 5 years we're already extremely short on talent.

This will need to be on ESPN plays of the day.

You can really see it when you look at the explosion of and access to online betting and high fee fantasy football as well. Rules were changed to favor higher scoring games increasing the spreads and making the games more exciting and lucrative for gamblers.

I'd say if we dont get a video of Tepper in the locker room it was all worth it.

I'm where you are. We're 7 years into this rebuild and we need to know if Bryce is our QB for the next 5 years. To pay 40-50m AAV for a QB when we don't really know what he can or can't do because we've never pushed the issue is a problem. Today was the opportunity, up by a lot with no risk of losing to open it up. We didnt. We missed a perfect opportunity to evaluate with no risk of loss in a game situation.

It was more a comment about the overall feel of the game as a whole than individual plays. This doesn't feel like an offense that can line up and drive 90 yards in 60 seconds. Is there a 2 minute offense? 1 minute? Now whether that's Canales or Bryce or a combo of both, who can say with 100% certainty. I didnt walk away from this game thinking to myself this team laid down a 30-0 ass whooping. Games like that have a different feel to them. This didn't. We won, but it didn't feel our offense was dominant. It felt like they played really badly and we didn't screw it up.

Too me, there's a dozen JAGs you can insert at QB in this limited offense and get the same results. This play book is just bland. We need to honestly evaluate Bryce's potential and that's going to require pushing his and Canales' limits. Right now, Bryce's ceiling is T2G. Check down king. I want more. Divisional wins don't move the needle for me after 7 years of losing badly. I want winning seasons.

Depends on if it really was a hamstring injury or not. If it was a healthy scratch I'd be more inclined to believe it was a benching for poor performance.

Rico channeling the spirit of Miles Sanders today.

I picked up Atl def in all my fantasy leagues this week thats wtf

Prices being charged to watch a team thats been pathetic for 7 years is the reason.

Panthers have a chance this week. I picked up Atl defense in all my fantasy leagues.

Maybe if you forget his rookie season like we've all tried to do.
