Dude, you're like a playlist with only one band on it.

Oh I have no doubt that Stafford is better. He's also one of the most experienced QBs in the league, has great protection, is taller, has a whole crew of top notch receivers and has a very aggressive play calling program that makes good use of tight ends and play action. Bryce, really doesn't have any of that at this time. But here's the deal... whether you, I or any of the other "experts" on this board think it should be otherwise, Bryce will be heading into our 2026 season as the starting QB for the team. We could sit back and just cry about it and gnash our teeth or just hope that Canales and crew know what they're doing and that they see something in practices and meeting rooms that we don't have access to that makes this the direction they are heading. That being said, right now, I think an even more pressing matter is who are we going to sit on the bench behind Bryce. His size, and a whole new slew of questions about our O-line, makes injury a possibility and there's always the what if he sputters out? Dalton, thanks for coming here but... I think it's time to hang up the cleats.

Why, you have to ask, would PFF skew the stats in such a way to get Bryce at the top of a list. Honestly, they didn't. That's just how the stats shook out. Probably because Bryce took fewer deep pass opportunities than most other starting QBs, but on the rare opportunities he took, he did quite well. And that fits in with what an unbiased eye might see out of Bryce and Canales right now... Developing starter QB, developing offensive identity. Which is probably what we have. You and I don't know the calls on each play. We can't see what Bryce sees (or can't see) from the pocket. But a group that watches and grades every play for basically every player looked down at their stat calculations and went: "Would you look at that? Who would have thunk it?" Just because it doesn't fit into our own narrative doesn't make it false.

I get ya. Really, I'm a best player available guy when it comes to picking where we are. And that is really what probably contributes to a lot of good teams being built for the long run, rather than those who find themselves regularly picking near the top of the draft. We've had our share of high picks...

If the Super Bowl showed anything it showed that the game is won in the trenches for sure. Both O-line just struggled with good front four defenses. We were on the cusp of having a seriously good o-line, but now... there's too much in the air. I'm not sure if there's a great OT available when we get to pick. 19 is farther back in the pack than we've chosen in a long time. If the guy isn't there, though, flip the narrative and grab the best Edge rusher available.

Eight days to breathe it all in before rushing back into the fray. At least for the Seahawks and Pats. Everyone else has had a head start.

Sometimes a guy suddenly falls into a crap ton of money and doesn't know what to do with himself or how to keep earning that money. I hope he wises up soon. The clock is running out for him. That being said, 3rd season is usually the one where most good to excellent wide receivers turn it around and become pros.

Headed to the in-laws for roasted beef tenderloin with Bernaise sauce. Then back home to watch the Patriots sputter out and the Seahawks take the rings.

Dude, take a moment. Breathe.

Quite possibly the most impactful MLB of all time. He richly deserves that bust in the Hall. Now if we could get him into coaching down the road...

Good for him! That sophomore year in the NFL is a tough one for receivers. Something tells me he's going to be fine.

The pro bowl has been pointless forever. Now the old QB challenge contest they did... that was fun. And Jake won it one year.

Jets gonna Jet.

I agree wholeheartedly. A lot of "principled" people in the WWE were willing to go ahead and do it for a price. Me, I hated it because the Royal Rumble is my flat out favorite event of the year for the WWE. And if I'm correct, the only real "surprise" entrant into either Rumble was the addition of whichever Bella twin we haven't been dealing with again for the past six months. Those gals just aren't up to the performance levels of the current women's roster.

Hmmm... not bad, not bad. Could very well be. Beard color is right for Otis... but not the rest of him.
