Good points. I was talking about Curtis Samuel, though.

I suspect fetal alcohol syndrome may be the culprit here.

Dude, quit being retarded.

The Louisville vs. Washington game is the only watchable game so far. Alabama vs. Michigan was close to being watchable.

Who has higher upside, Lamar Jackson or Blaine Gabbert? This is a troll thread.

The Pats are on record as saying Maye is the guy they plan on building around so this is a lightspeed retarded thread. Maye has his warts but he is also on a horrible roster and hasn't done much to put any future doubts into play, IMO.

It is too early on NYE to be hammered.

Those guys don't appear to be present in this draft, on paper. Frankly, at this rate just give me someone that is an good, long term starter if we go defense. I just have a lot of concerns about Carter. He doesn't really impress me any more than some of the other pass rushing options available, which I largely think are limited ceiling guys. Not bad players but I don't see anyone that looks like a high probability of being an elite pass rusher. Given that this draft is short on elite talent, if I could guarantee Carter being a 8-10 year Mike Rucker level production guy, sign me up.

If we do he will be another Everette Brown.

There is a reason.

Hope Duke beats Ole Miss to complete the CFP crybaby sweep.

Milroe is a 3rd round pick, at best.

He hasn’t been amazing with the Redskins, just solid. But, we are lacking even solid players, so I get the general butthurt over him being gone.

Worst in our 30 years of existence by a comfortable margin.

Need to see offseason results.

Yeah and it isn't gonna work against every opponent but we have faced some of the rest of the bottom 10 rushing defenses and did not consistently make them pay, IMO.

Yeah, I mean one of the best ways to handle a suspect defense is to grind the opponent to paste with a dominant rushing attack. Which....we are literally built for.

So, about that.....

I am not arguing about rushing attempts at all. I am saying he all too often will go pass happy after 2-3 very successful running plays. He has killed multiple drives doing this over the course of the season. I am not arguing we should be hitting X percentage of rushing plays per game in a scenario with a historically bad offense but when you are calling plays that are working, then you bludgeon that team with them or at least set up a nice play action strike. That's not Canales. He runs hot and cold and when he is feeling himself, it often seems like he just starts breaking out the passing plays over and over until we HAVE to pass because we got jammed up in a 3rd and long scenario. This happens literally almost every game at least one drive. It's another reason I say that I am not very impressed with him as a play caller. He seems to do well with the scripted plays but once he gets into the flow of the game, he seems to be far less effective.

Mingo's floor was below CFL caliber. XL's is PS player. If he doesn't make a big jump next year, I think it will be unlikely he turns it around. It's pretty rare that a modern NFL rookie WR has a very long development cycle to being serviceable. And we can't say he isn't going to have opportunities. It isn’t like we have more options(yet). I also think if we see a big offseason signing or a significant draft pick, then you will likely see that the FO has shifted their opinions, as well. I doubt either will happen but you never know.

I would say XL should have been a 3rd rounder, IMO. High ceiling, scary low floor. That usually when those guys start getting pretty attractive. Samuel had 26 targets in his first year and produced very little. Mingo was very similar to XL. 85 targets for 43 catches and 418 yards, 0 TD's. TMJ literally has had 116 targets in his entire NFL career. XL is probably Mingo+. I don't think his career will fall off a cliff the same way. however.

Remember during that era they almost always had some freak WR that ended up in the NFL. That fuging blew my mind that a triple option team could get those type of players.

Yeah, anyone who has been mega impressed with DC as an OC had their brain broken by the Rhule/Reich eras.

So this season has been a wild success?

Right but Calvin Johnson had a career sub-50% passer in a literal triple option offense but still averaged almost 1k yds and 10 TD's a season over three years. That's largely why I was down on him as a one year wonder as a 5th year player. There aren't many of those NFL success stories. Look, we have probably beat this horse to death. I suspect he is just going to be another bust off our roster in 3-4 seasons. If he isn't, awesome. We fill a need and we have a very marketable and likeable guy.
