Y'know when Gantt talks about how we're 3-5 years behind the Colts / Ravens? This is why. Our third stringers are terrible. This isn't on coaching, they're just not very good.

Cuts are going to be pretty easy for us this year.

He started at times last year and didn't look out of place. He's a lock to make the roster.

I don't know why he's still in the game.

Smith would be my first, second and third read when playing with the third stringers.

There's a lot of easy cuts in this secondary.

To be fair most modern music is poo.

He has to be a politician - same way he said that it's a good QB battle between Grier and Walker for the #2 spot. Tallest midget springs to mind. They know backup QB is a big problem on this team, but he's not going to tell the media that.

Smith is a hilariously good pick.

In what way are they bad at covering this team?

Has Hoskins leapfrogged Nixon on the depth chart?

He was until he realised that McCaffrey wasn't coming back and he was going to be asked to carry the load. Then he dialed it back and went down easier.

The RB room is STACKED.

Catch TDs.

Starting Oline looked pretty good, but yeah we have v. little quality depth behind them.

He was on STs last week too. Can't just play RB on this team - have to contribute in other ways. Lot of competition in that room.

They can - they're just giving him enough rope to hang himself. He won't make the 53 man roster.

Because....? I mean, beyond cutting your hero.

I say we throw a Draft pick Tampa's way for Jose Borregales.

Would we trade Darnold and Horn for Fields? We already know the answer to that. At the end of the day you have to either trust in the HC / GM or go find another team to support because Rhule and Fitterer will be here for a while.

It's just lazy, but sadly that's the state of journalism these days.

Yeah that reeks of "small market team, gotta rank 'em somewhere and somebody's gotta make up the numbers" rating there. We're better than 30 overall on talent, but I'll just let our players do their talking on the field rather than pointlessly debating it.

We had Rivera and Hurney in 2019.

What, you want them to pump out that it's all sunshine and unicorns? Rivera and Hurney left us with a wreck of a roster... and then Luke Kuechly retired. Rhule (and Fitterer this year) has added a TON of quality depth to the team. It's a 53 man roster - with the best will in the world, you can't turn over that team in two off-seasons, and that's IF you hit on all of your FA acquisitions and Draft picks, which never happens. We were competitive last year, I expect us to be more competitive this year - albeit a lot of that rests on Darnold's shoulders - and I expect Playoffs (or at least a Playoffs number of wins) in 2022 if the trend continues.

It means it's an open competition, as it always should be, and the best man (or the most versatile man potentially, when dealing with the bottom of the roster) will win.
