Bear Hands

Jakobi Meyers, Welker, Theilen, Cruz, Miles Austin, Doug Baldwin, Malcolm Floyd...there are good modern examples that you can hit and find long term contributors that slipped through the cracks. I really hope this is one of those cases. Would be nice to find some sort of bright spots this year.

I refuse to get too reactive over receivers in this joint. But from what I've seen, he knows how to gain leverage even if a guy is stuck to him. Works well against man. Has made noise against decent vets. Also has some decent short area work against zone. Very surprised by what he's been able to do on this anemic offense. Given we had dibs on UDFA claims and he was our priciest signing bonus, he was basically pick 258. And for what we've endured all over the draft -- and tried with KB, Colbert, TMJ, Gettis, Jarrett, Pilares, Armanti, Shi, Godwin, Biddle, hell, Joe Adams, could we have finally had an okay hit on a WR that so many teams seem to figure out and we consistently miss? Just chuck him and XL the ball as much as we can. Keep getting them involved - they look like they can stick around. Would like to see what they could do in an offense that's got a bit more psaz.

At this point, behind this line, I’d be okay getting Stidham/Rush/Lock to just play gunslinger ball. I’m probably not looking at it right but we suck and there’s limited options. We’ll lose a lot but they could probably produce some moments behind this line a potential star at WR. I just really don’t know about this QB class and I usually can get excited for at least a few every year. Feel the ick with this entire top of the first. Or maybe just roll the dice in the 2nd if value aligns. Fvck I hate this team.

I strongly dislike this draft. I don’t think a single player would crack the top-12 in the 2024 class As things stand with the games that have been played, think these chumps would go Mason Graham. I’d personally have no idea. I like Tmac, Sanders and Nuss but don’t think many are worth it. This franchise is in such a gutter. Just terrible.

Even the sh*t relief QBs these days can get to 200. It’s more of an eye thing but if I’m throwing stats down: 180+ yards, max 1 TO, 1 TD, but most importantly, over 6.5 YPA would make me think he’s not completely lost.

Diontae clearly isn't liking things so I doubt he re-signs here with the QB position even more unsettled than when he came. So I definitely see a trade with him to a contender in need. SF would be ideal. WAS could be a sleeper. Heck, maybe Denver after they beat the piss out of us. Nix needs a better target and they’ve given up on Sutton. Don’t see much else happening.

Holy ellipse Batman

Broncos defense is rolling right now. Close your eyes everyone. Zach Allen IDP-DL to the moon

I see an intentional pre-deadline tank conspiracy coming from this idea lol. Dalton is throwing games to keep Bryce’s stock a mid rounder!

Heck, he's been so bad, our phones still don't want to remember the name and keep autocorrecting to Bruce.

This is what bad drafting will cause. Long are the days where we had a legit core, which we even maintained during consistent mediocrity. Hunt OT, Lewis OG, Brown DL - known commodities worth staying a while longer. That's about it right now. The 2024 Rookies - continue to develop and see through. They've seemed promising. Of the rest, there are a few okay parts like (Horn, BC, Icky) but that list dries up quickly.

Media: ”Bryce is a point guard to play immediately, he’ll make others better. Carolina is the perfect spot for him over HOU” ”Just give him time he has poise and is a processor” ”Y’all just aren’t seeing it - he’s got it, you’re failing him” ”Carolina gave him no help, it’s the worst situation possible for him” ”They should have never started him off the bat, they should have eased the little sweet boy in. They ruined him. He should have learned behind a vet” (gets put behind a vet) ”Bryce should start again”

This guy again? lol (Donnally not Bryce) If he's not our guy, there's little reason to keep him. We saw a glimpse again with a few plays - this kid is not coming back in to do anything effective. They also see him 4 solid practices a week with the second team and are still this cagey/meh. My best guess is that he's gone for a conditional mid-rounder package by the deadline. Browns would be fun- they also have 10 picks in this next draft so it wouldn't be much. A 4th that could become a 3rd and a 6th.

They’re honestly better. Coen is the truth and Godwin is in the Kupp role. It’s pretty nice what they’ve got rolling. Running game is 10x better this year too.

I wouldn’t blame anyone to just become a general football fan and watch what’s entertaining. It’s fine. Bandwagon another squad if you will too… It’s also looking like a crap 2025 draft so it’s not even an interesting offseason to get jazzed up for. Yesterday reminded us we are very very far away from being competitive. It was only 10-0, with Daniels out, against Mariota and one of the worst defenses in the league. And we got blown out 30-7 from that point on. I feel like this is cruel punishment for us thinking Rhule was so terrible. The universe is like, “you think that’s bad? Hold my beer” We have maybe 2 of 22 starting spots in a spot where we can roll into next year comfortable.

I sometimes wish that Tepper did a big uni and logo refresh when he bought the team so that everything was preserved from the better times. Those times of mediocrity and the occasional playoff run.

I'd prefer going after a guy who is somewhat of a more known commodity, even if the ceiling isn't anything notable. Could realistically see us going with Stidham, Lock, or Rush type and letting a rookie (R1-2) sit.

Gotta think his head was thinking about the insane hit that could've happened if that grabbed that. This game is turning fast on NYJ

We're setting him up for some easy yards, but he's putting out good effort and doesn't look out of his depth. Had a few more rookie speedbumps at times with blocking assignments, but he doesn't look terrible. Speaking of TEs - Ian Thomas, that dude, that dude can go.

Yeah, that was one of the lesser talented defenses in the league and an offense with Marcus Mariota (It was only 10-0 when he came in) and we lost 40-7. That was like really really really bad.

I don't think I've ever disliked a player more based on lack of ability to make an impact than Ian Thomas. This is his seventh year here. 7!!!!

He didn't want to be here.

Good stop. Small victories lol

Oh my god...stahp.
