  1. I wonder if Team Bryce realizes that this year he is playing for his next contract; that this is make or break for him. If he doesn’t shoot the lights out this year, I don’t think the team passes on the QB’s coming out next year. Better won’t be enough to keep the team from drafting another first round QB. We’ve given him the tools, including T-Mac. No more excuses. He needs to look like the number 1 pick.
  2. Sure didn’t help Deshaun Watson. I was thinking more along the lines of a psychiatrist or professional counselor.
  3. As much as I hate the Patriots, I can’t take any joy or satisfaction seeing Bill crash and burn like this. He needs professional help.
  4. This whole discussion reminds me of the scene in the movie 'Moneyball', when Billy Beane is sitting in the room with his highly skeptical scouts. "He gets on base."
  5. Waiting now for Ortho Carolina to schedule my knee replacement. I feel you.
  6. “Do you still hear the lambs screaming, Clarice?”
  7. Thanks. That clears it up for me. Much appreciated.
  8. If that is true, then I’m liking this pick a whole lot more.
  9. And Ransom? I don’t follow OSU so, I have only seen the highlight videos and write-ups. He is a heat seeking missile in run defense but questionable in coverage. I really hope that assessment is incorrect and he comes with coverage skills but, the write-ups I’ve read list coverage skills in the ‘weakness’ category.
  10. I understand the theory but if that were true, why did we let Chinn go and didn’t we just draft Chinn V2.0? If Evero couldn’t figure out how to use Chinn effectively, what is different about Ransom? Not trying to be argumentative but, make it make sense
  11. I think the Evans pick is under appreciated. I think he will be our TE1 in 2026.
  12. I know that highlight reels are always ‘best of’ but this guy could be the real deal at TE. Effective blocking inline and great hands across the middle of the field. He could be starter in year 2.
  13. Since apparently it’s now okay to be politically incorrect, thought I would share this epiphany…
  14. Waiting to hear Dan explain how this pick was BPA…
  15. Just to clarify, my earlier comment was specific to Clowney and Scourton and not an argument for starting all or most of the rookie draft picks. It is an assessment (probably wrong) where I am balancing 1) rebuild year, 2) cap management, and 3) my perception that Scourton is already starter capable, if the expectations aren’t too unrealistic. Yes, the run defense may suffer initially but I think the long term benefits to the team and his specific development are greater than the short term potential step back in run defense at that one position. This may be my only post in my 20+ years here on the Huddle where I am arguing for taking risk, as I am congenitally risk averse. Anyway, I appreciate your measured and thoughtful counter argument.
  16. No disagreement with cutting DJ Johnson. That was a terrible ‘need’ pick and should be the poster child for why you should draft BPA, not need.
  17. I’m usually more risk adverse but, I’m wondering if it doesn’t make sense to rip the band aid off, trade or cut Clowney and start Scourton. Unless he just seems lost in camp, let’s throw him in the fire and get him real three down starter experience. We are still in the rebuilding phase, not the ‘win now’ phase.
  18. Also interested in seeing what the Team does with UDFA. Who will be this year’s Coker?
