Yeah I really don't want this guy. I think WR is a bigger need for us than Edge (factoring in how we can address in FA) and if TMac is there I'd be pissed if we passed. That being said, we will pass on him and he will become the next Micah

Every time XL drops a ball we drop a social media post of him talking about a food he likes with a funny accent

Yes

I think Blackshear plays this week but maybe limited and with injuries to Sanders and Brooks you don't want your RB2 returning punts too. I think we go Chubba, Boone, and Blackshear as the backs and these bums we picked up for returns.

This doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t matter how you get the elite WR, you need one. We have proven time over time we can’t draft WR since DJ. So grab the best one in the draft and take your shot.

we're a fumble and a dropped TD pass away from being 4-1 in our last 5. Played the best team in the league to a last sec FG. We absolutely could finish out 4-0

I must have missed where the Lions have won a championship (btw they have 2 elite WRs as well and St. Brown is a superstar WR)

Or you’d trade back with Dallas and get a haul to move back 2 spots so they can get Sanders. I hate the BPA argument too for a top 10 pick, context matters a ton drafting that high.

Brooks - ACL Tear. Prob don’t see him until TC 2026 Horn - aggravated a groin he had been playing through. Seems he could go this weekend but I’d just shut him down and get the extension done. He’s shown out this year Blackshear - looks like it wasn’t serious and he’s day to day. Could play this weekend with Mike Boone to be behind Chubba

Boone will be backing up Chubba and seems Blackshear injury wasn’t serious and he could go this weekend. Horn also seems fine

Nothing yet, but at face value that's what it looked like. Fingers crossed we get lucky

Yeah we had people on here with absolute certainty labeling Bryce a bust last year. Someone was labeling Sanders a bust 3 games in this year. XL definitely isn't a bust yet but he needs to call up Curtis Samuel and spend all offseason doing the jug gauntlet. Samuel was probably one of the best turnarounds I've seen of someone who couldn't catch, getting it fixed.

I disagree and do feel sample size is large enough going into year 3 for him that we are past that, but I respect your opinion on it and think it’s subjective and we both have a fair take. Again, we need a backup QB either way you’re always one hit away from losing your guy.

I don’t think they took it personal, I think they just thought it was a bad take. We’re past the point of needing to bring in a vet guy who can challenge young and take over if he gets benched. BY9 is QB1 for this franchise. Do we need a backup QB? Absolutely. Do we need a veteran type who can mentor Bryce and challenge him for the starting spot? No. If we bring a veteran in could Bryce still learn from that guy? Of course.

It sucks but even if he doesn’t play until 26 he will be only 23 with very little wear on the tires

Not being pedantic, but do you mean ligament? Because if it’s a tendon now I’m thinking hamstring or calf injury which arguably is worse than an ACL

Dave gave generic coach speak and more tests needed but yeah doesn’t seem great. Fingers crossed.

Yeah we need a QB one way or another, no reason not to bring in a veteran smart type to be second to your young QB1. I’d love Flacco

Dude got sacked record amount of times last year. Not going backwards on the small frame thing. Any QB regardless of size is one hit away from missing games, that isn’t specific to Bryce. You get a backup and roll with it. Bryce is the starter, that’s not changing. XL needs offseason work. He can be a very nice #2 to TMac

We don’t need another QB, Bryce is the guy going to have to accept it. Let’s see what Brooks has first, but yes maybe another late round RB. Think we only need one more WR. TMac, XL, Coker, Adam is a good room. TE is prob set next year with Sanders and Tremble. OL is fine, we will draft another interior guy to compete and be depth. DL should look nice with Brown coming back, Wonnoum, our 2nd round pick, and a FA add. LB another FA or 2 add. Not worried about K. that’s my optimistic take for next year.

Thats fair, but we all know the defense has no talent this year with injuries so wouldn’t really change your opinion of Bryce, XL, etc.

Since last year all the Bryce supporters had to post in that pinned thread, can we do the opposite now that he’s good and let the Bryce haters post in a pinned thread designed for them to argue for weeks if he’s 197 or 198 pounds?

We’re so close. We don’t know how to win yet, it will come. Add pieces this off season and we’re in business.

NFL average for PPG is 21, so 16 going into the 4th sounds about right for a team with no receiving weapons playing a top 3 defense.

Who has a worse WR room? Pats maybe?
