Mr. Scot

The 25 draft honestly isn't looking bad. Said above I wasn't a fan of our previous scouting director. Don't know that I'm looking for a complete overhaul, but I would like to see some changes.

It is, but it's still nice to be up a little higher when you have needs. (no, I don't believe in tanking) Wasn't a fan of Cole Spencer. Now that he's gone I'm hoping Morgan and Tilis make some changes to our draft leadership.

It is when you're in need.

Said the same. So did Mike Kaye. I was expecting that approach from day one, and I know I'm not alone in that thought.

If there is at least one thing you can say for Bryce, he's not an a--hole

What do stats matter if we still lose?

The Colts didn't ruin him. He's fragile, both physically and mentally.

I'm not gonna go that far. Hate to say it, but this is looking like another one of those years where we'll win just enough games to put us out of position to draft players we could really use

For about half a game, maybe...

Just please tell me this isn't a "bring back Cam" thread (we still have people laboring under the delusion that he could come back and save us)

And before anybody suggests it, no we aren't trading for Anthony Richardson either... (hell, no!)

I don't think we can trade for Daniel Jones

On Canales? Undecided. On Canales / Bryce? Yeah, that combo isn't gonna cut it.

Part of me thinks he might be better in an offense that emphasizes deep passing. But the ultimate truth is that no scheme in existence is going to compensate for a lack of effort and commitment.

From Kaye:

There's a line in Remember the Titans where Coach Herman Boone says to QB Ronnie Bass "you can throw the ball a mile but you can't pitch it six feet". There are definitely guys who do great throwing bombs but struggle with short and mid-level "touch passes". Lotta guys with strong arms have that issue because they don't know how to take some of the mustard off their throws. Hell, Brett Favre broke guys' fingers.

I remember saying at the time that I thought at least one of those was deliberate, done as an attempt to "send a message" to Smith. Yeah, good idea

Somehow, nobody seems to remember this

Clausen threw "flatline" passes along a low trajectory that made them easier to disrupt and / or harder to catch.

Not "over Young" Besides Young At no point have I excluded Young from the team's problems. I rather set out to have a discussion of issues other than Young (and said so in the very first post). Going into a topic about problems other than (or in addition to, if you prefer) Young and saying "but what about Bryce" as if it's excusing him is Missing the Point 101

I was laughing at the baseball score till the touchdown

Wouldn't argue that I don't have a lot in Canales though...outside of not wanting to continue running this hamster wheel.

No argument with any of this...

Culture...

Don't know. We beat two other teams we probably shouldn't have. This is probably one of those screwball seasons where we beat the good teams and lose to the bad ones
