Maybe you just missed it, but you actually listed 3 quarterbacks. Jerry is a wr, just a heads up

Fitt has to go. This is embarrassing

I knew it was bad but the numbers are truly disgusting. That falls squarely on Frank. We have to do better than letting everyone know if we’re under center with Bryce it’s a run. Just awful coaching and game planning there. please god let Thomas Brown step up

#1 is relative. He’s our 1B immediately on this team with Adam the 1A. Paying that role $13M with all our free cap isn’t the worst thing. You have an easy out if it doesn’t work in 2025

Honestly it’s not the worst situation for a new HC. I think most in NFL circles and people in general not on this board still really like Bryce. If Corbett coming back somewhat fixes the OL and we get aggressive in the offseason to sign a true WR1… let’s Evero do his thing on the other side. I’d be interested as a younger offensive minded coach.

Go get Ben Johnson and a new GM this offseason.

Depends on if we get Burns or not. If we don’t we could pay Brown, lock up $45M in WR group, and still have money left over since Bryce is cheap. Remember Chark is on a 1 year

I’d have him before Kupp, hasn’t been available in 2 seasons now. Metcalf too, think he’s just more impressive putting up these stats with Fields and whatever tf we had throwing the past 4 years. Evans too, think he’s lost a step at his age. 8-12 range is a fair assessment for sure.

He’s top 10

You nailed it here

Think he’s missed 10 out of 52. Believe 8 2 years ago and 2 last

? 13M for a #1 is insanely cheap value. That’s cheaper than Sutton, Beckham, and Renfrow. It doesn’t work out you don’t pay him after the 5th, he proves he’s a legit #1 that’s a good problem to have.

That’s fair but I think people sleep on him. Pretty sure he’s averaged around 15 ypc since he got in the league and somehow getting to 1000 yards last season with that staff and qb is impressive.

CJ has been worth a third so far this year, JJ was 30 yards away from being 1000 yard season with the Hackett debacle that happened. Saying how terrible Fitt is gives the argument to trade for him even more. What’s Fitt gonna do? Find a better WR starter in the 3rd? I’ll bet all day against that

Wait a few weeks and ship a 4th

Hell of an average lol. In all seriousness, Brown I think could be a great fit here but it’s all about cost. If Fitt truly has any magic and gets him here while costing us very little besides his salary that’s a win. If he’s dealing anything more than a 4th heads should roll

Agree with you but Mingo was out with a concussion, not like he was a healthy scratch.

You are asking me if I think a 25 year old former 2nd round pick who has extreme flexibility to play all over the defense, no major injuries, natural position does not break the bank on a second contract, and had performed above average each year he’s been here with zero off field issues…. Is worth more than a 6th round pick? And think you’re about to make a good point here? Think very carefully before you reply.

Chinn for a 6th in the dumbest thing I’ve read on here in weeks

Go bigger, see what they would do for Chase. Burns for Chase straight up is my dream but I have no idea how the value works out on that. I imagine we'd need to send a pick back, which I honestly wouldn't be THAT upset about with how bad Fitt has been drafting outside the first. If the Bengals think Burrows hammy is long term and need to shut him down, they'd be in position for Marvin Harrison Jr. anyway

@TheCasillas in your opinion, what are the main needs we should be targeting at the trade deadline and further looking in the draft and free agency? Feels like G, WR, and LB are the big 3 to me. DB I’ve been pleasantly surprised with Troy Hill stepping up but we are 1 more injury away from having a CFL lineup back there.

Thank you for doing this write up. Truly great posting. It feels like as bad as things look, we do have a few pros. CJ looks to be worth a third, DJ look to be worth a third, and YGM a second. This is all 1 game but if we get DJ and YGM both growing into this scheme as young players it would be huge. CJ is so hot and cold but I will give him benefit of doubt being only 4 games into a new scheme. If Jaycee is ever healthy again and CJ plays into what we saw this weekend consistently, that’s a great 1/2 and corner. I don’t know what to make of Ickey, just extremely disappointing slump. I am holding out the slightest hope that when Corbett comes back the line tightens up.

It’s incredible for a football forum how majority of vocal posters here have their knowledge end at “bust cause not throwing bombs”

This makes sense on why we haven’t paid Burns out yet. We can 100% get a stud #1 here if we overpay, which I think is the right move if we are all in on Bryce.

do you hear yourself? You guys are slobbing on Stroud for throwing a TD with 25 air yards and nobody within 8 yard of his receiver, but you're telling me you wouldn't freak out if he makes a huge anticipation throw down field on a rope for a TD? ok.... "it wasn't a nasty throw, it was a throw a number 1 pick should make with little difficulty" my man, you just wrote the same thing twice and then said they aren't the same. A throw a number 1 pick should make with little difficulty absolutely can be a nasty throw (which it was)
