  1. What the bears do is completely irrelevant. Wake up
  2. Honestly can’t even believe this poo is real. 1.01 in 2024 for 1.01 2023 in in of itself is a trade rape. Yet we threw in so much more. fug me
  3. 1. Posting the list of top receivers just proves late round picks CAN HIT and speaks nothing of probability, which was a core theme of my OP. 2. I agree, 5 years does exclude people. It was a somewhat arbitrary number chosen bc I) 5 is clean ii) over 30 wrs were drafted during this time, meaning the sample is recognized as statistically significant iii) I don’t have an unlimited amount of time to go back to 1960 Iv) the modern nfl is different from where it was 10 years ago and college is different too. The more recent rounds are also the most pertinent. 3. The conclusion (that it’s unlikely a day 2 wr pans out) would almost certainly be unchained even if I went back X years. Maybe the average changes to 28%, etc. it’s still unlikely whenever you aggregate multiple draft classes to derive conclusions. Of course, not every class is equal though - this would play into the “luck” element
  4. I believe she was supposed to replace JR but just never really did anything.
  5. This is an extremely flawed way of looking at it. As stated in my post, 50 day 2 wrs were drafted from 2022-2018. Being generous, I logged 13 of those as hits. That’s about 1/4. It’s even less for day 3. Saying “look diggs was a round 5 wr!” Adds nothing to the conversation. It’s like the people who spam Tom Brady was a 6th rounder. Is it possible? Yes, obviously. Is it likely? No, not at all. The plan cannot be get lucky and find the next diggs
  6. I’m convinced no one read this post by the comments lol
  7. I don’t think y’all realize good FA wrs do not become available
  8. The way I see it, there’s 2 major problems with this team rn: the OL and the wrs. In regards to the line, I actually think our problems mostly remedy themselves in 2024. Health has been this lines biggest issue. We have had our starting guards play exactly 0 games together this year. Icky is still young. If he figures it out, the rest of the OL should be average if not better than average in 2024. With that out of the way, what I want to discuss here is what the fug we are supposed to do at WR. Thielen has been a pleasant surprise, but he’s old and not as good as his stats would indicate. Mingo had 0 good college seasons and looks incapable of running routes early on. Perhaps he pans out, but based on every historical data point, I think it’s fair to classify that as “unlikely.” No one else on the roster is worth discussing. So, how do we fix the issue of having no weapons? The 2 obvious answers are: FA and the draft. FA: the simple fact of the matter is great wrs do not hit FA. I do not see how the bengals or niners let Higgins/ Ayuik go for nothing in return. This has been the case for some years. Most recently, the highest impact wrs who departed in FA were Christian kirk (wr3 on his own team at the time) and Hopkins (old, apparently didn’t want to practice). Both these players were on the same team. Statistically speaking, it would be a massive outlier for any talented and under 30 wr to be available. As such, this cannot be the plan. The Draft: many first round wrs come into the league and have great impacts their rookie seasons. This is imo, the most probable way to fix the wr corps. Just one problem; we don’t have a first. The brings us to day 2 wrs: statistically speaking, much less likely that they pan out. Going back 6 years (too early to grade 2023 but looks bleak) from 2022 to 2018 there were 50 day 2 wrs drafted. Of those 50, 13 were hits according to me (please tell me how stupid I am in comments bc it’s really 12 or 14). That’s a ~1/4 chance of hitting on a day 2 wr. As such, this is also not a probable solution. Trading: this is how the good teams get wrs. Josh Allen: total bust until they traded for diggs. Tua: bust until hill (and waddle) showed up. Hurts: classic rushinh qb who can’t throw until AJb (and smith) get there. What do all of these have in common? That’s right! Acquired with First round picks! What do we not have? A first! Conclusion: every plausible avenue to acquire a wr1 is not available to us. The plan seems to be to get lucky. So, Carolina fans, are you feeling lucky?
  9. Can’t help but feel like the owners instance to sabotage his own players with artificial grass has directly and negatively impacted horns career
  10. If you were saying that last season you’re delusional. Foreman was vastly superior to Hubbard. In fact, Hubbard has been absolute dog poo most of his career. This is the first season he’s actually shown something so I have no idea what you’re trying to do with this oh he should’ve been the starter talk
  11. Well they gave him away for free so clearly that wasn’t true. Got 0 value from that trade. Insane
  12. I love this argument. My counter is always “I agree let’s pay him 100mil every season!” Then you say “no that’s too much don’t be stupid.” And basically kill your own argument, acknowledging that there is a limit you would pay him.
  13. Pretty much just Clemson fans crying we didn’t draft Simmons aka jack of all trades master of none. Brown was a beast at auburn and also clearly better than kinlaw. Craziest thing that draft was kinlaw not running the 3 cone at all and people digging brown for having a decent time.
  14. Just bc ur the top wr on your teams depth chart doesn’t mean you’re a true wr1. Was ted Ginn a wr1? Nothing to do with fantasy. Higgins would be a solid, not good, wr1 edit: I just reread my original comment and realized I never even mentioned this wr1 thing. You just made up an argument lmao
  15. Higgins is a great comp for burns. Great player, very important position, not elite, wants elite money. Delusion
  16. Talk crap how? By saying he’s got delusional contract demands? Tf you want me to say? “Burns is the best edge ever pay him 30mm a year bc he’s on our team! Sunshine and rainbows!”
  17. He’s on a 5th year so has to play if he wants to hit FA lol. Otherwise it’s 5th +tag + tag again possibly. Doubt he wants that. Unfortunately he’s delusional. Let’s call up niners and see if they want to do a bosa burns straight up trade. Brian seems to think he’s just as valuable, maybe niners agree
  18. This guy sucks! 6-10! This is is 2011 people!
  19. No no guys. The season is already over and we’re winning 6 games. Just ask people on this forum.
  20. Checking in one week later- is the season still doomed? Bryce young looks like poo I take it? Fk this forum is hilarious
  21. 1) Turn around from... what exactly? 2) Agreed, that wasnt my point at all though. This sub is built on knee jerk reactions. 3)What matt rhule did in his time here has absolutely 0 to do with the team today. I was one of rhules biggest haters. People were sucking him& darnold off, cool. Not me
  22. It’s gonna be hilarious when we beat the falcons week 1 and everyone switches instantly. OP will be the first person clamoring about how this is a playoff team and we run the south. Book it
  23. Hey guys it’s me billy voth it would be swell if we won a game and my mommy left me in the grocery store I can’t seem to find mommy someone please help I’m lost
