Yeah, it's going to be interesting to see where this ultimately goes. They're trying hard to kill the golden goose. With the playoffs expanding to 12 teams and purely going with the highest seeded teams you know the SEC is going to throw a bitch for every time they don't make up at least half the teams on the field. Some of those crazy ass homers honestly think it should just be all SEC every year. No one else belongs. It's mainly the fans of lower tier SEC schools who think this way. It's just their attempt to rise the coattails of the better teams and act like they belong instead of realizing that they're just schedule cannon fodder.

We would have had to have had a perfect off-season to come anywhere close to that 2015 team. And honestly, that 2015 team was basically an elite defense and an MVP QB going full Superman to carry an overall subpar offensive roster.

Well, I mean pretty much nowhere to go but up defensively.

Maybe. On the other side of 30 everything gets dicey. Some guys hold up a long time but most guys show up one day and they got old overnight.

No. This team doesn't need to be trading valuable assets for 30 year old stopgaps.

Yeah, he's closer to contract decision time.

Yep. Fans want to compete for championships while front office personnel and coaches want to keep their jobs. Paying a JAG starting QB negatively impacts your potential upside to compete for championships but rolling the dice to let him walk to shoot for championships might backfire and cost you your job. This is the big reason why NFL teams are generally so risk adverse. The safe path is the path that will most likely keep you in your job the longest but it also might be limiting your upside to potentially compete for championships.

No one is "hating" on Purdy. The point is that in his situation a lot of guys could've duplicated his production and now he's going to have a contract that is going to force some difficult roster building challenges with the cap impacts. The massive advantage with Brock Purdy was his dirt cheap rookie contract that allowed a lot of spending flexibility elsewhere on the roster and that advantage is going away.

I think they might be jumping the gun a little putting Daniels that high but they admit that and I think they have Stroud a little low. I'd honestly put them both somewhere in the neighborhood of 10ish, so basically bumping Daniels down 3-4 spots and Stroud up 3-4. Altogether not a terrible list aside from the Geno head scratcher.

Geno Smith at #10 is probably the wildest thing on this list. Geno is borderline top 20. Purdy is a few spots too high but Geno is probably 10 spots too high.

It's what you should do when you've invested as much into a guy as we have Bryce. At the end of the day, even if he doesn't work out we should've built a nice foundation for the next guy to hopefully build upon.

Time will tell. I think he's a mid-tier starter. And I don't think it's wise to pay mid-tier starter the money that mid-tier starters make and deal with those cap ramifications. We'll see how it plays out for them.

Went to see Sturgill last night in Asheville and holy poo it was FIRE PXL_20250521_003239238.TS.mp4

We ALL collectively held our breath as the ball was in the air to a wide open Ginn streaking down the field because it really did feel like a 50/50 chance of whether or not he was actually gonna catch it even if it hit him in the hands perfectly.

The downside to Cam for us is that he was so good at carrying an offense that it made our already defensive minded brain trust feel like they could just focus on building a D and let Cam just carry the offense. I would've loved to have seen what prime Cam could've done with a top tier offensive roster but alas.

Baseball was the only sport that I thought was even boring to PLAY, much less watch. Hell, other sports even if I don't enjoy watching them they were fun to play. Baseball is just ass all around IMO. LOL

I honestly have no idea how anyone makes it through a baseball game. I'll catch maybe the last 4-5 holes of a golf major every now and then if it's close.

Not sure anyone is anything more than cautiously optimistic. It's probably not gonna work out, I think everyone knows that.

I would LOVE for Renfrow to ressurect his career here but I'd be lying if I said I expected it. He's basically four years removed from being an impactful player and was out of the league altogether last year. The way I see it, it's a low risk move for a hometown kid so fug it... let's give it a shot.

Yeah, to me the long-term hope is that T-Mac and XL are our outside guys, Coker is the slot, and then we have a bunch of guys to compete to round out the rest of the group.

Its possible. Given the higher value and longer expected career length of WR vs. RB I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't pushing to play WR himself, but honestly Samuel would've probably been best used as a Deebo type of player - essentially a RB/WR hybrid. And yeah, drafting him right after CMC was head scratching and I said so at the time. Like, why did we just draft a poor man's version of CMC right after drafting CMC. I said the same when we drafted Funchess. Why did we just draft a poor man's version of KB when we just spent a 1st rounder on KB last year?

You're arguing against posts that haven't even been made. Roughly half the thread is people arguing it's a good move and the other half is people saying he's a mid-level starter who isn't worth carrying this type of cap impact. I don't think I've seen a single person saying he's a below average QB at best and that's why you're backpedaling. First it was "terrible", now it's "below average at best". Mischaracterizing others' arguments doesn't make yours stronger.

Who has said that Purdy is terrible?

LOL! Yeah, the pearl clutching by some folks is just a little crazy. Of all the things in the world to get triggered by, a sports league dunking on your favorite football team's incompetence is the one you pick? Okay...
