Preciate it. Didn’t see much difference when I looked up their career long, so I didn’t know if it was because people just felt the power was noticeably different. now that I read your more in-depth dive, and tbh, I know Fitz hit from 59 his last year at FSU, but seeing him barely clear the bar on that 52 yarder last week, I had flashbacks to Piniero. It seems like Sauls has a better overall resume, and he also might just look better according to the eye test. Im not convinced with Fitz. So I’d be interested in giving Sauls a look.

Serious note: why would we want Sauls over Fitz now?

It legit pisses me off because it was impossible to evaluate guys like Horn when they throw them in there with shitty OLs allowing instapressures on a QB who has been here less than a week, who actually is 100 times better than the shitty QB they’ve had in the roster for 2 years who tried to put multiple receivers in the hospital tonight. like this poo has me super pissed. The team looked a lot better overall with Canales and severo calling plays tonight, but damn that was frustrating to watch. They literally can throw all the tape out from when Plummer was on the field. And then when Perkins came in, the OL was absolute poo. I just don’t understand how any of that is useful for evaluating.

Yeah, and that felt a lot better rhythm -wise until Plummer started fuging it up.

They honestly should’ve started Perkins. We can’t evaluate poo with this fuging bum at QB.

They got Ramsey following Renfrow.

Please put Perkins in.

Plummer is fuging horrible.

Is Ramsey playing safety for Pitt now?

It’s no doubt in my mind. He’s got that something special about him.

Etienne is the future at RB. that was a hell of a cutback.

The bengals dgaf about that. It’s their OL. They’ll sign Edmund Kugbila and call it day.

2 out of 3 QBs on the worst 5 list. Nice.

I felt pretty good about us making progress this season, surprising some people, and getting some more wins than last season going into it. Now, after preseason, my expectations are much, much lower. I was talking with my friend who is a Bears fan, and we were discussing their drubbing of the Bills and how people try to dismiss it as “preseason, so it doesn’t count.” It absolutely counts. Not the wins or losses. No one really cares about that. But what the Bears are doing shows that even in a vanilla, non-specific scheme, they are executing at an elite level and they are disciplined. It shows they are well coached. They see growth in their players. Versus us - hard to tell what we’re looking at because everything is a fuging mess. In games we’re still undisciplined, be it penalties or assignments. We do NOT execute. We got random coaches calling plays that won’t be calling plays during the season, we have our players getting into fights in the last padded practice of the preseason, then we have Bryce and Chuba trying to correct it while our coach sat off to the side laughing. To be clear, I like Canales. He seems like a good dude. But, it feels like we have very little direction and discipline. You’re allowing a team who has been historically bad the last almost decade, with a losing culture that mostly bereft of talent to self-police? You’re allowing subordinates to work on pet projects at the expense of getting valuable reps and evaluation of players in during games? My friend literally brought up last night that when Ben Johnson got there he essentially put DJ Moore on notice because it was starting to be perceived that he was displaying some diva-behavior. That’s leadership. And they’re reaping the benefits early and setting a tone. My friend said there is an excitement and confidence in and around their team that’s he’s never felt his entire life. And here we are, sounding and looking like The Bad News Bears in our final week of training camp and preseason. I literally stopped watching after halftime last week. I used to watch every play faithfully, even in 2001 and 2010. It was fun. This isn’t. We are bad and our administration keeps making bad decisions to compound things. Reading poo like this today is just fuging deflating.

Interested to see what they’re publicly-stated reason is for signing Perkins?

Kurt Warner and Jake Delhomme are a thing. It’s happened. The likelihood of it happening are slim to none, but I will say this - Perkins couldn’t be walking into a better situation. On paper, he may be the most physically gifted QB on the roster. When both games we’ve played had every QB that took a snap for the opposing team look equal or better than all three of ours, I would say that bodes well for any QB we signed.

fug the Bengals. They’re not getting a first round pick. Period. They’re not. From anyone.

I think it’s worth noting that Les was able to coin “fug those picks” AFTER trading away a former #1 overall QB for their current franchise QB because the one they drafted wasn’t gonna get them there. i think that’s relevant to our situation because they identified the QB they drafted didn’t work for them and cut bait and moved on.

I’d be comfortable with a 4 year deal, IF they made the trade.

Loved what I saw of him at Virginia. A much better player to have on the QB depth chart who actually has the physical tools and ability to develop over time. Dare I say, even exciting to watch and develop. curious if this has more to do with Dalton’s injury or Plummer’s sucking.

I’ve mentioned Joe Milton and Shadeur a ton the last few weeks as guys we could’ve had for little cost, but I also want to mention Milroe was also a very viable option I was interested in. I’m pretty sure I posted it somewhere here. I had read some stuff from sources I trust that a lot of scouts were saying they felt his only real concern was accuracy and that they felt the causes were fixable, and outside of that, he was the most talented QB in this draft, or something along those lines. again, it’s why I get pissed off with all the fluff pieces our organization pushes out for certain player because they focus so much on coddling players rather than forcing them to compete. I honestly feel us not bringing in any competition is two fold, 1) Tepper isn’t ready to admit he made the biggest mistake in #1 overall pick history and 2) They don’t want to hurt Bryce’s feelings or confidence in the hopes that he can be salvaged. Both are horrible reasons to sit two years with Dalton and Plummer behind him and do nothing to provide a contingency plan or competition.

Am I wrong or did I read somewhere before he wanted 31M per?

While I agree with your overall sentiment, with our recent draft history, if it only cost a 3rd rounder, I wouldn’t miss it for what we’re getting in a known commodity in Hendrickson.

I mean, a lot of pass rushers remain effective through their mid-late 30s. The age doesn’t concern me as much as the fit and the timing.

I obviously would be excited to add such a proven, productive player, but it just doesn’t make sense for where we are.
