  1. At this point it's best for all involved to begin accepting the likelihood staring us right in the face. No use spending the next 8 days agonizing over it.
  2. Miles isn't completely irredeemable it isn't mine or anyone's place to say. But when you look at his immediate actions afterward on social media like nothing happened and airing out his baby momma with her and his kids locked outside of his expensive home in the weeks after it doesn't vibe with someone that recognizes the severity of their actions and a desire to want to change that. If the team brings him back it's just not a good look no matter how you may want to rationalize it.
  3. All physical attribute discussion aside the leadership and personality he will bring is sorely needed here on that side of the ball. At bare minimum it will be a significant breath of fresh air from the previous starters.
  4. Don't want him to be the next Brees or Wilson. Frankly both of those guys can get fuged. Let him blaze his own trail.
  5. That would be a hell of an offer. You would absolutely consider. Of course then you consider the other side. If they want him that badly why not take him yourself and build around him. Someone in this draft is going to miss on the best QB. Just have to hope it isn't us. That's the double edged sword to picking first and why there have been so many busts at the spot the last 12-15 years.
  6. Fitterer basically saying BY is around the same weight as Wilson was coming out of the draft around 206 he's now 220. They will get him on a nutritional program he's only 20 he will grow through his career. I get the mindset. Just have to see it in action.
  7. You admit you are currently engaged in a bitter fued with another member across multiple threads yet I'm the one who takes this way too seriously and needs a mental health check.
  8. rippadon I'm sorry but someone has to say it you need to stop. You are making anyone who shares any concerns look kooky by proximity. Just give it a rest until draft night.
  9. Did I say smokescreen? There's a ton of time between now and the draft for a number of things to happen and you cannot predict how desperate one or two teams may get when the draft is unfolding. I get you're very high on Young I see the posts. But these discussions will continue and in all likelihood may only get louder so if it bugs you consider detaching once in awhile.
  10. Of course the Texans are putting out that info they are hurt and playing hardball. But there's still a chance they get desperate and make an offer on the eve of the draft. I still would just stay at 1 and take our guy.
  11. poundaway are you okay? Enough is enough guy you've been lurking in every old Bryce Young thread spamming poo reactions for days. Mods can ya'll perform a welfare check on this man? TIA.
  12. There's a lot to like in that tape and then there are things that you wonder will cause him trouble to some degree in the NFL. You like that he tries to extend the play but holding the ball the way he does is something the coaches are going to have to work with him on. You don't want to remove that from his game but also need to choose your battles wisely in that area.
  13. There's a lot of talk still about us making a trade with Houston so they get Young. If they are that eager to acquire him that they would give us the 12th pick why wouldn’t we just draft him ourselves and be done with it? You run the risk of looking like a fool if you deal him and BY is a star with the Texans. Different variables to consider all around.
  14. What does that have to do with football? Players succeed and fail for a number of different reasons. Whether you like it or not there is a level of risk and it is in the same ball park as Anthony Richardson. When you add in the history the last 11 or 12 years in success and failure of first overall quarterbacks it brings that risk even further into focus. Considering this is simply reality. Does that mean I think Young will fail? No. But I see that there is a distinct possibility the best QB from this class may not even go #1. All I hope for is we pick the QB with the highest ceiling in the class. These discussions aren't going anywhere btw. This class will be compared for years to come. So folks who are sensitive to this discussion should settle in or maybe go watch some golf.
  15. Some of these same folks will get missing if the team faces some adversity. They are not worth the energy.
  16. The guy can't help himself. He did the same thing with Matt Rhule and Sam Darnold. Once he's in he totally wraps himself up in whomever goes on to become his obsession. Remember when he was going to keep receipts on all the Darnold doubters? Then he abandoned his account. You just gotta let crazy be crazy. I'm excited regardless. No reason not to be happy at a time like this. Some folks can't handle difference of opinion and understand every draft pick the last half a century and more has had varying levels of doubt. But once the pick is made you support your guy. At the end of the day I'll happily take a clean slate with Young. Why? Because he isn't Kyle Allen Teddy Bridgewater Sam Darnold or Baker Mayfield. But this selection is just the beginning. It will be a tough road for any QB that is selected first. The same people trolling these threads will very likely go silent if and when BY has some gaffes like all rookies have and will. Yes we have a very good staff but we will still need to be patient. And until proven otherwise this wide receiver core is a few injuries away from being mostly mediocre. We need a WR for Young to grow with too. We'll see how the draft shakes out. I understand the trade down concept but hopefully Fitterer doesn't try to get too cute. Just get some protection and playmakers around your guy.
  17. You can tell some folks on either side of this are going to get warnings by draft night. Hell poundaway is still in and out of my notifications spending day and night looking through past posts for anything to poo on. Mental illness is real.
  18. Depends on how we continue to invest in the OL. People talk Brees and Wilson but one of those QB's played behind olines that their team invested very heavily in and the other ended up leaving Seattle because of their ineptitude in that area. Scott was there for that too. Just have to hope he's learned a big lesson and will leave no stone unturned in keeping our depth up to par.
  19. Agreed. All the bluster and suggestion that anyone other than one or two simpletons won't support the pick is just nonsense. You rally behind your guy and hope he meets and exceeds expectations. At the end of the day it isn't our jobs on the line. Tepper paid all this money for a staff with decades of wisdom if they believe in him so be it.
  20. Well the team did say they didn't want the back and forth between two guys going all the way until draft night. Still strange they even have Stroud and Levis bothering to roll into town at all.
  21. One of the main Bryce Young avatar guys posted Stroud's lowlights a few days ago. There's been some definite tomfoolery all around.
