  1. Thinking that the team 'won the offseason' last year was pure delusion anyway, and those of us who pointed that out were heavily ridiculed at the time. Unfortunate, but it's clear who was right about that. With that said, I think the coaching/strategic element is just as important or even moreso than the rest of the offseason. Will the staff have the ability to correctly utilize the personnel on the team and adjust/adapt from week to week, with players showing improvement as the season goes on? That is really what I'm looking for as a barometer for success this year.
  2. Original tweet appears to have since been deleted. Probably a smart move on his part... just better to stay out of that stuff in public.
  3. Point being what? Maybe true but again, I don't think signing a guy like Gallup impacts Mingo. That's my point.
  4. Mingo sucks, but even if he didn't/somehow doesn't signing a guy like Gallup (assuming a reasonable price) doesn't really impact the ability to develop him. It does arguably provide some more flexibility with those first picks though.
  5. I don't necessarily agree with that for Brown. He's shown the ability to dominate top competition on a consistent basis and appears to have that tough attitude you want. There is a price for most everyone not named Mahomes, but I think Brown's is even higher than 2 firsts.
  6. Injuries aside, Williams's strength is defintiely downfield jump balls. What is Bryce going to do with a guy like that?
  7. I think there have been plans every year but they were either: a) Dumb, e.g. Rhule, Bridgewater, et al in 2020 b) Terribly executed, e.g. focus on better QB and OL in 2021 but attempt it by getting on Darnold, Elflein, and Erving or c) Both, e.g. 2022 offseason and 2023 as a whole
  8. Absolutely no one should think this guy is meant to effectively compare to Burns, and if someone does then they're insane. He is meant to provide a portion of that production at a fraction of the cost in combination with a couple more players, and the odds are that most of the end/edge group this year are short-term trials (thus the 2-year contract). That's how it was always planned to play out, and if one of them suddenly develops into something more then that's icing on the cake.
  9. It's nothing directly against Canales, Morgan, et al, but there is nothing that can be done to increase my excitement. I am very tepid about Bryce Young, though no conclusions can be drawn by anyone at this point, and Tepper's years of dumbfoundingly stupid, and yet still so easily avoidable, decisions have killed my passion for the team. It's strictly objective/academic/'just friends' at this point. The energy might come back if things go well for a year or two and it appears that Tepper's head is finally out of his read end.
  10. Good god you're a drama queen... "wait until the regular season to open your eyes". Please. Burns' pass rush double-team rate was 14%, exactly what's on the chart even though that's only through Week 13, and since that's very clearly measuring pass rushing I can't even tell what you're trying to insinuate - they won't include run plays in that calculation. Wonnum was double on a higher percentage of passing plays than Burns... it is what it is. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/38356170/2023-nfl-pass-rush-run-stop-blocking-win-rate-rankings-top-players-teams Burns is not worth $30MM and needed to be somewhere else at that price, full stop. The defense might suffer a bit this year because of it but the team wasn't winning jack crap anyway. His overpriced contract isn't on the books and that's what needed to happen, as we're already seeing that money spread out across multiple positions. It will be up to improved drafting to continue the restock, as that is really what has left to cupboard bare.
