That sounds familiar.

Agree. Mostly defense. We still can’t win a shootout as a rule, so having a defense to keep us out of them is the best thing we could do. Looking forward to seeing them gel

Yeah maybe he will miss Moore some. But Moore poisoned the well with Williams by being so outspoken in his support of Fields. I thought. As far as Williams what I see is his ceiling is almost unlimited and his floor is too low. He has a league wide respected offensive mind shaping him and has to find a way to cut out the bonehead. To compare him to Bryce, Bryce’s ceiling is nowhere near Williams’ and his floor also needs raising. I won’t try to say how much because I haven’t seen every Williams game for years. But Bryce had many games of sub par play last year that if he expects to get an extension he has to fix. And he has to clear the hurdle of teams forcing us to beat them with his arm. I feel like Williams has what it takes to take over games and I do not feel that way about Bryce. As far as the teams I believe our defense faces a bigger challenge than theirs will. Unless we really have that running game going.

Well just beating the teams we are supposed to beat is progress. Even being in tne position where people see it as we should win a given game is an improvement. I felt like in the ugly games that we won, it signaled that the team was learning how to win. We beat a couple of teams we probably shouldn’t have and lost a few we shouldn’t have though so it kind of evened out. After all these years of suckage it is hard to be optimistic. Always anxious about our prospects. And the way we have to play offense makes it tougher. Really looking forward to seeing the defense after say, three or four weeks of playing games together.

We did that with no helmets lol. And there would be a dent in the sheet rock.

How many people said that? How many does it take to make a whole fan base? Honestly what I see most is people wishing he could play the Falcon every week.

That would blow my mind. For some reason and it is just a feeling really, I think he is going to come out at least mid with some bright spots. Where every year so far he has been horrible. Don’t you have to learn sooner or later to at least not throw the games away? That said I just cannot picture a scenario where we play a very good defense that can effectively shut down our run and Bryce takes it into his hands and torches them and the run game can open up again Hasn’t happened yet in 3 years so it is hard to imagine just happening out of the blue like he went to the crossroads and handed the football to the devil and the devil hands it back and here is best QB in tbe league That is about what it would take

That is what most players would do. A very few might not. I can’t speculate one way or the other seeing as we have no idea how close he will be to what he was before. I mean personally I think it remains to be seen how good he could be at guard if he doesn’t have the feet and explosion to play tackle. You still need to be athletic at guard.

He is giving millions away but is still too cheap to take care of his players So he can make money off pop concerts. yet he still put grass in for some foreign soccer team. But not his own people.

I can see the usual suspects getting on this guys twitter and decorating it with their little turd piles, as we speak. How dare be blaspheme against Ice Young.

Well we have 4 preseason games this year. They can run it like it used to be run by everybody.

Yeah okay I will try to handicap the Panthers without including their QB. Even when others bring him into the topic first.

If it is a mansion it was built off of selling on Bryce. My narrative here is that Williams is going g to better in 2026 than he was in 2025 because second year in the system Same as why Bryce was better last year in his second year in the system. With a proven top offensive coach working with him. Man he already has made eye popping throws that Bryce can only dream of ever making. The guy has a ton of talent why wouldn’t he be better with another year…

Basically agree. He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special. Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine. But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart. So there sure is something riding on him. What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal. And we are on pins and needles over Brooks. Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field. I am not feeling real optimistic though.

Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative. But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired. Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that. So be fair about it. A QB needs to be protected. Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.

I am not looking at all that. I know his first year was rough. Were they not in the playoffs last year? Oh yeah, 2nd seed. Got Ben Johnson for a second year. You think Bryce got any bump from a second year in the same system? Of course that can’t work for Williams give me Bryce every time.

Quality.

Right. Mike Trgovac was a Fox guy and that ended by 2011. I didn’t look yet to see if he worked in KC where she started. Dad can get you access but you keep or lose the job on your own merit. I wasn’t implying anything with the details on her job experience as a media person before changing horses to scouting but that sure seems unusual. I am way more qualified to judge her journalism than her scouting chops anyway.

She has been here a while. In KC for years in the media dept and came here in 2021 to our media office. I looked her up. Apparently she assisted as a scout for two years and then this past year was given an area of her own. I am not sure how her media experience translated to scouting players. I enjoyed listening to her press conference the other day.

Rumor it is crack reporter Betty Schlonginher

Well come on man, you know Bryce needs more weapons. everybody knows that

Nothing to do with the QB, it is all the receivers. QBs are obviously interchangeable. And no way would anyone ever trade Bryce for Mr paints his nails.

4 preseason games too. That could be a huge help.

Yet forces his football team to play on an artificial surface so he can throw concerts.
