Man, I really appreciate that!!! We work really hard on these things.

Yeah, we covered that. But thanks

Was it early 1945 Berlin? That's an injury report that reads like the 3rd Army's!!!

If they couldn't turn him into even a 3rd string stalwart in San Francisco over multiple years, but could turn a broken Mac Jones into a good looking QB in one off season... then there might not be anything there. And if Canales could have rehabbed him, he was there for the taking this summer...

Really, there was a lot of talk about him being over-reported in the height department. The guy could really sling that ball, though.

Maybe coach just wants ownership to know beyond a shadow of a doubt, that we have to move on at the QB position. And maybe he will keep running out who we have until the Teppers come in and throw up their hands shouting, "Yes, let's get this over with." If you want change in your workplace, make sure the boss thinks it's their idea.

Don't forget Drew Brees. He was the exception to the rule.

Ding ding ding! I think we have the winner here, folks!

Me, I was pulling for us to draft Mac Jones back in the day. Is he the answer here? I'd have said hell no before this season, but he has me intrigued. Yeah, he's in a great system there, but one riddled with injuries. Color me intrigued by the possibility of Jones, but in no way could I go for Kyler Murray. He's just Bryce Young with 10% more arm and 4x the pay.

I'm gonna be honest here. All I see is a bunch of receivers who can't get open on most plays. Bryce or not, if you can't get open once in a while, this is what's going to happen. But yeah, XL ain't going to outsmart a DB, he ain't gonna outrun one and he sure doesn't seem like he wants to outwork them either. So, hard to not call him a bust at this point. Tet, though... has his moments of ooo look at that. And has a lot of plays where he just disappears. He's not bad, maybe even good, but I'm sure hoping there's a lot of development still to come. Was hoping for a game breaker, not a possession receiver.

I was hoping folks would forget that. I was hoping to forget it. Just trying to polish the turds they gave me man. It's all I've got at the moment.

Honestly, I'm not so bad with that. Let the other bottom feeders clear the chum a bit for us. Might keep us from taking the sucker's bait that seems to await the top of the draft order. Picking around 12-15 might bring things into better and more realistic focuses.

I hope he's just the poster child for sophomore slump. If not, well, we're paying him first round contract for two more seasons. Rationally, most WRs take three years to fully develop in the NFL. Hopefully he smartens up about his game because a big, relatively fast guy like him shouldn't just be completely removed in games by zone or CB3 man coverage.

I will say this, Bryce was a helluva lot braver than Clausen.

Way back in my younger days as a reporter, I had to go and cover a D.A.R.E. graduation event at a local school. They had two NASCAR racing teams there for the kids to meet. Teams sponsored by two different beer companies, one of which had just won the Winston Cup (wow, really back in the day, and a cigarette brand if you didn't know). The kids were having a ball and were in awe of the drivers and crew members, they loved seeing the cars. I leaned over to the DARE officer from the Sheriff's Department and said, "You do realize that you told these kids to swear they'd never drink or smoke or use drugs and look who sponsors all this." The look of realization just washed across his face and he glanced side-eyed back at me and said, "Well, poo." Advertising and marketing are so fuging pervasive in everything we do that the public really doesn't stand a chance anymore. And gambling is doing a full on press for this generation and the next. Sports gambling has always existed and always will, but this industrialized one is more than parasitic, it's viral. I'm not sure if the patient will survive it, but if it does, there will be a mighty shock to the system before it lets go.
