My good buddy who is an Eagles fan talks about Dillard about the same way we talked about guys like Byron Bell and Matt Kalil. Just FYI.

Kelly didn't fall apart until he was granted full control of football operations. Rhule was given that right out of the gate.

Rhule and company just seem outmatched at the NFL level and it's trending even worse.

Hey y'all, keep the TB in the TB. Don't let this spiral out of control. Multiple posters already on 24 hour bans from the last couple of pages.

When a thread goes sideways every time you show up, it might not be everyone else's fault. Just sayin'...

If the Dolphins' ownership isn't pushing for a deal to be made and ours is, that would probably put us in the driver's seat. Now watch Fitts get fleeced like he did by the Jets on Darnold where he was bidding against himself... like he probably would be here.

Sure.

The way we're playing right now, we better go join the ACC to find 2-3 more winnable games.

I think Miami has to balk at the price or Watson has to balk at Miami. They just gave a lot better tradeable draft assets.

We're so solely focused on traits and measurables right now that I think that it completely escapes us to consider whether or not a particular physical specimen actually exhibits football skills. If this brain trust is still in place, we might draft a physical freak of a wrestler or Australian rugby player or something next year.

This is the gift that keeps on giving. Every time I see this...

Everything about the offense is broken right now. Just point a finger in any direction and you're going to he pointing at a problem.

We got cocky. Started talking playoffs. Thought we had arrived. Then reality smacked us in the face and the blow was stunning and derailing. We're a bad team that had early success due to fortunate circumstances that got cocky and then got their confidence shattered when we found out that we aren't nearly as good as we thought we were. Why we got cocky after beating two of the very worst teams in the league and an N.O. team missing half their roster and coaching staff is what baffles me.

I mean in terms of the routes and reads. Everything we're running is very basic one to two read type stuff. Teddy was physically limited, but we didn't have to give him a coloring book as a playbook. It seems like that's what we've had to do this year.

Yeah, my next door neighbor is trying to sell his house for $1.4M. It might be worth half that. Just because you're asking for something doesn't mean you're gonna get it.

I think we REALLY dialed things back this year due to severe limitations on the OL and at QB. I mean, if your OL sucks and your QB sucks, you're basically fuged from jump street. There's only so much you can scheme around. I'd like to see Brady get a chance to work with a decent OL and QB, I'm just not sure it's in the cards.

It was just like Teddy last year. It looked good until opposing DCs got the relevant film to study. That's when the truth comes out. It tried to tell y'all this for two straight years, but I was just being negative.

@HardcoreHokie said it and @OldhamA was his lead blocker for anyone who pointed out that the premise was absurd. We were just all being negative.

Legit one of the most ridiculous takes I've seen anyone voice on this forum.

Yep. We had folks suggesting that we actually got the best WR when Marshall was showing out in preseason and Chase was struggling.

He has a point.

Oh, the drop off is pretty drastic but I agree that Chuba is starter quality. CMC is arguably the best all around RB in the NFL but it sure seems like he's becoming injury prone.

Those Ravens and Bucs teams were prior to the change in interpretation of illegal contact. That changed the game that was when the league started to evolve full on pass happy.

Yep. And that's pretty key. You think you're ready to win now when you leave yourself this depleted of draft stock. We... we're not ready to win now and our ability to build via the draft is significantly compromised.
