What game are you watching? The DB was right there. He has every right and got to the ball before XL. That was absolutely not PI. Bad throw and Bryce didn’t see that guy at all. Forces it when he had a cake 1st down.

What? The ball was seriously under thrown. The ball hit the helmet and hands of the defender who was beat easily. Hunter had ho chance. Maybe TMac is tall enough to reach over the defender’s head but coming down with ball would have been almost impossible.

At least we didn’t trade this year’s first! Woot! Lol.

LBers and Safeties look like the hole we thought they’d be.

I don’t see how Young will ever be worth what we gave up. The 2024 QB class at a glance already seems miles ahead of 2023’s and we gave up the 1st overall pick in 2024. We gave up Jalen Carter when we needed DL help. We gave up DJ Moore and 2 more 2nd round picks. Young may end up being OK but he’s not going to be a top 5 elite QB. Fitterer fuged everything all up by not trading Burns, CMC, Moore and others in 2022 to tank as hard as we could to get pick 1 or 2 so we only used 1 pick for the QB and still had 3 more firsts (GB offered pick 15 in 2023 for Moore) and a second and not lost any of “our” picks.

It’s a good victory now but this Alabama team had no business being ranked 8th. They were 9-4 last year and got worse at QB. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if they finish with 4 or 5 losses again and their schedule isn’t terrible.

Terrible. Texas has had 4 or 5 drives that started near midfield and have nothing. OSU is defending champs but they lost 14 players in the draft, including a ton on the DL. It looks like they don’t trust the heisman favorite. Maybe this is why he couldn’t beat out Ewers. Maybe he’ll pick it up but damn this is his third year in college. It feels like a game plan when you have to start a freshman or third stringer due to injuries.

HFS. We got offered more for Burns and people were happy we turned it down only to get a 2nd and change a year later. SMH, it was so damn obvious that we should have made the deal. Burns has never taken over games like Parsons has.

That’s the definition of a one player away fan. We aren’t in the playoffs this year unless Tampa shits the bed and a losing record takes the South so spending our entire cap is bad. Roll it over so when we are competitive we can sign a couple studs and go for it. A 5-12 team with a lot more than one hole is not that.

Who cares about year 4 and 5th year option? The only elite QB who hadn’t proved himself by year 3 was Aaron Rodgers. First, Young isn’t him/doesn’t have an HOFer in front of him and second, Young doesn’t need a one year player as a security blanket. If he’s the guy, he needs to elevate his WRs in year 3.

Again, Theilen wasn’t playing for us in 2026 so why do we want Young looking to him? We have so much draft capital used in Young, TMac and XL. We need to actually make that work or we are going to be poo a lot longer than expected.

If the WRs are trash without a year rental of AT, we have bigger issues because we still need 2 solid ones in future drafts and because Young couldn’t elevate them. We need to evaluate the WRs as much as Young. AT takes away opportunities from the young WRs.

My thought exactly. We basically got a 4th for a one year rental when we aren’t a playoff contender. If we can’t overcome the loss with the young guys then we have big issues. We’ve invested 4 1sts (3 top 10), 2 2nds, DJ Moore into $150M in OL FAs into this passing game. That’s 90% of our draft and FA capital into Young. We damn well better be fine without AT or we are ways away from competing.

We basically got a 4th. The 2026 5th is worth the same as a 2027 5th plus a 2026 7th (which is worth almost nothing). I’m sure Theilen is happy but getting a 4th ain’t bad. I am still amazed at how much people feel we lost a player who wasn’t getting us to the playoffs and was going to take reps from the guys we need to be better.

They got a good deal being a potential playoff team in need. We basically got a 4th (rest of the picks basically cancel out). That’s not bad for trading a 1 more year player on a not so playoff potential team.

I’m fine ride or die. We had Theilen for 2025 and then he’s gone. We get to move up to better picks and the young guys get their opportunity. I do find it laughable that Theilen not being here might stunt Young’s growth. JFC, for all the guys who think Morgan is doing a great job, we’ve give up 2023 pick 9, 2024 pick 1, 2024 pick 32 and 2025 pick 8. If Adam Theilen being gone makes our passing offense go to poo after spending 3 top 10 picks and another 1st rounder, then we best fire the entire coaching and front office and start our rebuild the right way in 2026.

From X it said we get 2026 5th and 2027 4th and give up Theilen, 2026 7th and 2027 5th.

Woods has had 600 yards in 2 years with Stroud. He's done. Collins blew up with Stroud and had a ton more everything in Stroud’s rookie year than he did in his first two years combined. Mingo sucks but his rookie season was about the same as Collins. The Texans won 10 games with rookie Stroud. They won 11 total games in the 3 years prior. They had a poo roster before the 2023 draft. The Panthers had a better team before the 2023 draft. That was my point that Stroud (and Anderson) jumped the Texans to another level. No one thought of Nico Collins as a stud before Stroud. They were one of the worst teams in the league from 2020-2022. We won 6 more games over the same time period.

Yep, makes sense. I mean, we’ve gone to as many playoff games as they have lately, right? I know people want to gloss over our badness in recent preseasons but you are missing how bad we’ve looked. We are 32nd in preseason scoring with 23 points and that’s including many teams that have only played 2 games. Washington is the only other team that has played 3 games and has under 40 points. They have 38 points or about 65% more than us. Our offense, 1st through 3rd string has been awful.

In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.

Lol. This kills me. If Thielen is our most reliable WR, that’s a problem. We’ve spent two 1sts and found a gem of an UDFA in our last two drafts above and beyond the trading DJ Moore and multiple 1sts and 2nds for Young. Thielen isn’t going to be part of any future we have and if we can’t survive losing him for a 4th, that says more about us needing a new QB and another 2 WRs. After our past 3 drafts, that’s better not be the case. Either we’ve got the young WRs and QB or we don’t. Keeping Thielen at age 35 shouldn’t be a priority unless you are saying Legette, TMac and Young can’t produce without him.

We got a 6th for Little and a 4th for Mingo. Jets got a 2nd, 4th and 6th out of us for Darnold and Jax got a 3rd from us for CJ. You never know.

We started 2018 6-2. The Giants started 2018 1-7. We’ve basically been as bad as anyone since the middle of 2018. There’s nothing to celebrate when we’ve been as bad as a team who has 3 or 4 wins per season in 4 of the last 8 years. That said, I’m not going to lie, I’d actually take the Giants roster over ours right now. Really depends on QB development in the end but they’ve got 5 cheap years to our 3.

I agree. I’d make the move because I don’t see us sniffing the playoffs and let’s be honest TMac, Legette and Coker better be our top 3 future. If they aren’t and we need Thielen to replace one of them, then we need to draft yet another 1st round WR, SMH. Suffice it to say, Thielen isn’t good enough to get us into the playoffs so let’s get the young guys starting so we know if they aren’t good enough. We still have so many assumptions about whether players are who we need them to be that holding onto Thielen for 3-7 wins isn’t worth passing on a mid round pick (3rd to 5th/swaps). We’ve had some success with later round picks/UDFAs and need depth.

And Burns wasn’t Parsons. Shows again how dumb we were.
