If I have to see Nick Scott’s slow ass on the field again getting burned deep for the 4th time that game I’m going to turn off the damn TV. Plain and simple Evero fuging sucks as a talent evaluator and all his hand picked players have been colossal busts, hello Dj Johnson, Nick Scott, Jordan Fuller, Josey Jewell.

Please sign him!!!

No lies were told lmao

Is Simmons a good LB, no. Is his better then Claudin Cherelus, no doubt. What are your guys thoughts of bringing in this Clemson legend?

Praying for you, hope you recover quick!

I actually see your perspective on this, he was playing the long game here rather than a single contract. Heck he was just second team all pro, he has two more years and then he will be in line to get a real big bag. Thanks brother, honestly have been frustrated thinking about losing Luvu for a while, but it does seem like to your point Luvu wanted a better situation for his skillset.

That’s a fair point, but money talks if we threw him a higher contract I’m sure he would have stayed. He is only making around 12 mill yearly, to put in perspective if add up the contracts of Ashawn Robinson and Shy Tuttle that’s about 15 mill yearly. I’d much rather pay Luvu 15 mill then pay a jag DT and a total bum in Tuttle.

The one undeniable mistake Dan Morgan has made was letting Frankie Luvu walk last offseason. We had developed him into one of the best LBS in the league and let him walk in his prime for nothing in return, dude was just an All Pro last season.

Would love to play again

Only 26 years old, fills the biggest hole on our roster. Top 3 at his respective position, yeah fug it how often does a future HOF player become available in their prime?

The main focus has and rightfully so been to create an environment built around developing Bryce. Adding another young QB to develop would take away reps and attention from our coaching staff away from Bryce. Dalton serves as the perfect backup due to the fact he is highly experienced, is a good mentor to have in the room and is not threatening Bryce for his job. With how much we invested in Bryce it only makes sense to create the best environment possible to help our return on investment. I’m assuming after this year we will move on from Dalton, until then we have one of the best backup QBS in the league.

Good points, I should have defined breakout better. I don’t mean necessarily become a star. For Trevin Wallace him breaking out would look like him being an average starting LB. And for Cade Mayes, it would look like him keeping the starting role and keeping up his production.

Who are your top three breakout candidates for next season? My three: Jatavion Sanders- Simply put he is the best receiving TE we have had since Olsen. We all saw his potential over that three game stretch prior to his neck injury where he showed a real connection with Bryce. Good route runner with glue for hands, limited blocking upside but he gives solid effort. With Tremble already being hurt I don’t see a reason why he already isn’t our starter and clear future at TE. Trevin Wallace- For a developmental LB forced into a starting role last year he exceeded expectations. LB is one of the hardest positions to adjust to from college, and for a prospect who was widely regarded as very raw, surprisingly he was solid in coverage and only had an 11.9% missed tackle rate. He was overly aggressive consistently, and needs to work on his play recognition. But he is set up to be our best LB next season, and likely starter for years ahead. Even barring reaching his upside, his floor was clearly a lot higher than draft pundits assumed(Morgan can scout LBS). Cade Mayes- I am hopeful Cade wins the starting job at C this season. He may have been our most improved player last season, he looked like an above average starting C after he took over for an injured Corbett. He allowed 0 sacks on 327 pass block snaps. Corbett can not stay healthy, and at this stage in his career Mayes is objectively the better player. Mayes is only 26 and gives us the potential of stability at C, something we have never had since Ryan Kalil retired. Corbett slots in as a great backup C/Guard, and Cade continues to develop and gain more chemistry with Bryce and our stud duo of Hunt/Lewis.

Just realized we will get to see Shaq on hard knocks now. Great dude excited to see him return especially to a Super Bowl contender.
