He’d get a much bigger number if he puts together a bigger year in 2026. He’s locked in right now and the only way he gets a bag is by proving himself. He’s got 800 yards in 2 years. He’s under contract with us for 2 more. Do you think his agent is telling him now’s the time to get an extension averaging 30-400-3TDs a year? He was an UDFA, he’ll get what we offer and build up his stats so he can get a much bigger extension in a year or two instead of a crap extension locking him in cheap for 3-4 more years.

Lose him in 2027? That’s not happening. He’s locked into an ERFA for 2026 and he’s a RFA in 2027. For $7M or so we tender him as a 1st rounder. Is anyone giving up their 1st for Coker after 1 more year with Young? There’s no sitting out for two years. We can think about the extension after 2026 and we still take advantage of the RFA year and extend him beyond that.

Does Coker want his deal yet? We could use his ERFA and RFA years to our favor but all give him some extension years. Problem is that he isn’t getting top WR dollars because he isn’t there yet. If he believes he can be that guy, it might actually be better to play cheaper this year and get the big $$$s after he’s shown more the next two years.

Go read some of the Senior Bowl info. They specifically called out a few centers including a G (from Duke?, don’t remember) who looked decent working at C. Seems like some day 2/early day 3 talent.

Stick with day 2. Seems to me that first round centers don’t hit as much as taking the top Cs in round 2. Usually some combine great number(s) is the case and the 1st round C is over-drafted. We could have drafted McCoy, Humphrey or Frazier in the 2nd in the past several drafts over the crap we did take. Seems like that opportunity is every couple years and it’s been a couple years since Frazier. Not sure what the draft class for Cs looks like but I’d be happy with a C on day 2 if there are talented guys available. I don’t think it’ll be hard to upgrade C with a solid prospect.

If you knew he would be Jefferson/JSN level, of course you take him.

That doesn’t change, ever. You don’t get smarter IQ wise, you just don’t. It was a stupid, risky pick and he was old and only had one good year. You don’t take that risk when you have stud Cs and CBs just sitting there. Then again we decided a RB coming off a late ACL was worth a 2nd the year before a huge RB draft class. XL is turning 25 this year, if he’s not smart enough, what does another year buy you? Just the playoff run with a healthy Coker and TMac’s rookie year were enough to show that XL isn’t in the same ballpark as those 2.

From Hurney 2.0 through Morgan has been an OL drafting fiasco. Morgan’s first draft alone saw us take Legette/Brooks instead with Zack Frazier just waiting but he kind of learned under Fitterer when we took TMJ over Humphrey and later in that draft took a long snapper over Trey Smith. For good knows why, we’ve been taking risky bad value day 2 picks when IOL and LB picks on day 2 are great value picks because the top prospects at those positions don’t usually go day 1.

Remember when everyone said BC was going to leave on a huge deal? Same situation IMHo where Panthers fans think our player is way better than they are. I would be shocked to see Mays get some huge deal. The lack of good FAs might help but he’s not that good.

The defense improved night and day from 2024 to 2025. Amazing job by the staff. You can and please do quote me on that.

No kidding. The announcers even showed how bad he’d been against pressure and we thought 3 minutes and 3 timeouts wasn’t enough time. SMH. We had no business playing any different than we were all game. So stupid and it absolutely 100% was the reason for the loss.

No kidding. No targets for Tet or Coker. Problem was that our prevent D lost the lead. So bad. Pressure was causing the errant Stafford throws so we decided to not pressure him at all.

Rams dial up pressure, we just let Stafford throw with no pressure.

Screaming at the TV to get out of prevent. So effing stupid when Stafford isn’t throwing deep.

Why is Horn so bad? He interfered with Adams a couple plays before. Add in the past games starting with the first Saints loss, and I’m thinking he’s costing us way more and Scott looks bad due to Horn making bad decisions. Horn has legitimately cost/almost cost us so many TDs recently.

We could given ourselves a chance. Fumbled punt, failing on 4th and 1 in our territory, failing on an easy 3rd and 2 and the interception. We needed to be close to perfect but stupid mistakes killed 4 drives.

Tired of this team. So many stupid add mistakes. We can’t win a game like this. Game over after that. Rams get the ball after half as well.

Terrible pass. It’s happened so many times this year where we can’t connect on a simple outlet pass with no defender in site. That’s a drive that should still be going. Young is not a good QB and will never get us to contender status. He’s better than he was but you can’t miss easy poo like that.

Hunt should not be playing.

Their DL/LBers have lined up offsides twice, including the interception and no calls.

Did no one notice the Rams DL lined up offsides on the interception? Hand and helmet were over the blue line. Also, how was that a penalty on Mitchell?

Allar is garbage IMHO. Every game I’ve seen him play against a decent team and he’s been bad. I do agree with you that this has been a very disappointing college QB year (hence Arch and Sellers staying), but guys like Allar and Klubnik will be day 3 picks. I don’t like any guys this year as 1sts but I’d be happy taking 1 or 2 development guys who have the physical tools and entered 2025 as potential 1st rounders. You never know how good/bad their coaching was.

Thank you. All these ILB over a pass rusher make me shudder. Just like C and G, there are solid LBs in day 2. If we aren’t using the 1st on a QB, it needs to be on an edge. Scourton has been decent but we need that guy who’s getting us a ton of pressure and not let Baker run around for hours.

Young was irrelevant for most of the game. He scored a TD when Rozebloom returned an interception inside Tampa’s red zone. We didn’t score another point until under 3 minutes left in the game and the game was basically over. The Young led offense did nothing until it was too late except for getting gifted an extremely short field by the D.

I really hope we move on from Young. Just a 5th year is better than a full extension but he’s not the guy. His lack of arm strength causes bad plays on the outside. We can’t run Hail Mary type throws or QB sneaks and his throws outside are so slow that unless he times it exactly right, it’s a bad play.
