sure you can. Two things can be true. And neither are very ideal things. Ideally, you would want a QB that didn't' have a lot of limitations and doesn't need a unique O for himself. And ideally you want a HC that is adaptive vs being overly committed to what he does.

I think Cohen is here for 3rd down/receiving work more so than special teams

Wonder if he couldn’t get 0 because of old Burns jersey inventory that is out there right now

Aren’t we just coping and defending whatever the Panthers do… We have a coach that runs an O that doesn’t fit Bryce (our #1 overall pick). We got a HC playcaller. We got no experience at OC. We got Jim Caldwell advising it all. We got Tepper. Now which season am I talking about?? seems like the definition of insanity.

they are both ideally early down runners. So they are the same, as in the role they are occupying the same role/purpose for a team.

Horn or Penny

should of just kept this dude. I mean, he actually can play 90s era football. Canales had the worst rush O and ran into fewer loaded boxes than almost every team in the entire NFL

2 RBs likely aren’t going to be ready for camp loads. And you can’t put too much on Hubbard who is the best RB we got going into the season.

I mean, Watson was the better at Clemson QB. And Watson was a dang good NFL QB before things went sideways. He was perennial pro bowl QB in Hou. Not being Watson out the gate doesn’t make him Daniel Jones tier. That’s a bit harsh lol But Trevor was overhyped coming in. He is physically a lab built QB. Not between the ears lol. He still plays like college Trevor

Trevor was playing through a ton of different injuries in year 3 though. Which impacted a lot. Probably shouldn’t have been on the field often but they were trying to sneak into the playoffs. But even averaging things out… its 65%, 4000+ yards, 27 total TDs and 8.5 win season. Which doesn’t t seem realistic for Young

Pro Bowl - winning season - 66% , 4000+ yards, 30 total TDs?

I didn't click on the link....but it says up front on the title it's a fantasy football perspective. and yeah, I would think Brooks wouldn't have a great fantasy outlook at all this year. Hurt. Eased in to a crowded backfield......on a bad team.

our entire backfield is JAGs to date.

he hasn't returned a kick in a half decade and didn't even log a dozen before that.

I'd like Canales if he was just going to be the HC and he went out and hired a real experienced OC to do that job. I like his rah-rah ways. But Canales is calling our O. I think it will be his O. It's last year on repeat IMO to a large extent. I think there probably is more synergy there given Canales was at least able to bring his dude but still...

I don't think this changes much. They just are throwing another body into the mix. Brooks is coming off an ACL Cohen is still an unknown working himself into a return as far as we know Hubbard/Sanders are basically the same dude.

maybe we shouldn't of hired the dude that had the worst rush attack in the NFL in his only year as an OC if that is what we seek to be. And Tampa ran into weaker boxes than most of the league and still was horrible.

Bryce Young had the greatest roster since 2003 and an allstar coaching staff per the board going in. That only changed when Bryce couldn't make plays. and the coach didn't trust him to do many things.

Tom Brady is totally cool with being roasted and people shitting all over him, his wives, family, etc......but goes all Will Smith on a frankly lightweight Bob Kraft joke? Big picture, Brady and Bledsoe seem like assclowns in reality IMO. Those jokes can't mask it. Thought both of them actually came off unlikable when they got their moments on stage.

yeah, the girl was really good.

I think Tepper was attempting to be joking/friendly as a means to deal with the bad PR…. but the encounter is on video. It still shows Tepper is out of touch and lacks basic interaction skills. He walked straight up to a grown man and removed his cap for him. That’s not normal. Hence the new sign joke.

and that’s sort of why we are the worst team in all professional sports… we mortgaged our future on an anomaly QB….and then pair him with coaches that expect he should be able to just fit him into what they have done. this franchise shouldn’t of draft Bryce Young. Simple as that.

Oh he can be worse….NFL teams will now have a years worth of film on him, all his issues and tendencies. It’s why year 2 is historically hard on QBs and the sophomore slump term is used. and he is playing in a new scheme with a rookie HC and rookie OC. Which that alone sets up more difficulty. Then on top of that, the O is going to be built for a downfield gunslinger. I personally think Bryce looks worse this year. Too much sets up for that.

And I’m fine with that. But, with an impatient owner….that carries high odds of just him employing a new HC in the not distant future. The “we will see if the scheme that doesn’t fit our #1 overall pick QB works or not” approach seems like a rocky plan for all. If I was Canales I would give it shot but demanded I need to be able to sign a legit backup QB in case what I was given just doesn’t work and can transition at the end of the year

Yeah, my issue with the Canales pairing….is his history is all tied the deep balls. Saw it last year with Baker. Deep ball was the basis for Geno’s comeback story and Wilson has always been a chuck it downfield QB. First big investment by Canales was a WR that 100% fit that philosophy in Leggette. Thats not Bryce. He doesn’t fit what Canales history is. Just like he didn’t fit Frank. Only real argument I got is maybe this staff is young enough to deviate from what they have been around and been in this league. Historically, coaches struggle with that. Bryce specific, just feels similar to last year. He is the square peg to the round hole. Geno seems to be the one people really like to point to for why Canales is going to pull it off but…Geno’s aired it out and was the best deep passer in the NFL that season. Nearly half of Smith's 30 touchdown passes came on deep passes, and his 13 downfield scores led all quarterbacks. This rate of success was stellar: 25.4 percent of Smith's deep attempts produced touchdowns in 2022. With this in mind, it's easy to see how he finished with a deep passing EPA of +42.3 https://www.nfl.com/news/next-gen-stats-top-10-nfl-deep-passers-of-2022-geno-smith-tua-tagovailoa-excel-a#:~:text=Nearly half of Smith's 30,deep passing EPA of %2B42.3.
