  1. I think you're giving them far too much credit. I just think they're wildly incompetent.
  2. Celebrity fascination is just utterly bizarre to me if I'm being honest. But you do you
  3. I've always thought that he's basically an average starter. Not bad but far from great. He's an asset on a rookie contract but becomes a liability when he's eating up a huge chunk of your cap.
  4. Yeah, I look at teams like the Broncos and Giants and think they're definitely gonna be worse than the Bears.
  5. Similar arm strength but the big difference is that Purdy has absolutely elite anticipation and ball placement where so far Bryce has looked pretty average in those categories too. I didn't expect that. I really expected Bryce to be the type of QB who could throw guys open with anticipation and ball placement while hitting them in stride to allow for maximum YAC. That just hasn't been the case as of yet.
  6. We're overusing Thielen IMO. We're trying to use him like he's a YAC guy and he just isn't. He's basically possession receiver at this point in his career. He can still get open but he's not a guy that's going to make a lot happen after the catch. Chark is primarily a deep threat specialist. I just don't think he's a great pairing with Bryce Young. Not unless we can establish more threats to fee up opportunities for him to get one on one deep. I don't know why we gave Hurst that contract or why fans expecting him to be a great threat. He is what he is. A low level starter/good #2 TE. What we've gotten out of him is basically what we should've expected. This is who he is. Mingo does seem to be improving. What is like to see out of Bryce given what we're currently doing and what he shown capable of executing is better ball placement. Watch Purdy tonight. His arm is average at best, but his anticipation and ball placement are both ELITE. He hits guys in stride and puts the ball where they don't lose any momentum so they can get that YAC. Way too often guys are having to sacrifice YAC ability just to secure the catch. Bryce has to have better anticipation and ball placement because he's never gonna have a cannon.
  7. We did a better job today if scheming up receivers in the mid-range area than we have prior IMO. Bryce just isn't putting the ball in great locations when guys are NFL open. I really thought Bryce was the type of QB who would be throwing guys open with anticipation and elite ball placement. Right now he looks pretty average in those categories. If you're average in those categories you better have a cannon because you're gonna need it.
  8. Less effectiveness than what we're currently doing? It's all about trying to create matchups and making the defense account for threats. We just don't have much to offer that defenses have to truly worry about.
  9. Yep, I said when we tried for him that Patterson was the blueprint for how he should be used. He doesn't have Patterson's pure speed but he has great feel as a runner with good wiggle and RB type running power. Handoffs, end arounds, screens, drag routes, etc.
  10. I have no issue with the guy personally and appreciate his contributions. I just get annoyed when I see him reporting posts after post and it's like... damn, dude. Do you really not realize that this is the the same stuff you do to other posters? I mean, if you're gonna dish it out be willing to take it.
  11. I've been disappointed by Bryce's arm talent. I thought his arm was probably NFL average at best but it's looking below average, possibly well below average. Some guys can make below average work but it requires straight up surgical accuracy and timing and we haven't seen that from Bryce yet.
  12. That was a big miss by Dak. You have Brandin Cooks downfield with two steps on a LB and you can't keep the ball in the field of play. Ouch
  13. He basically has no value. Maybe a team that liked him in that draft class would toss a conditional 7th to kick the tires but that's about it
  14. If we're gonna air it out, here's what happened... He got a simple warning for constantly reporting posts for doing the same thing he was doing. Basically just a simple message to chill. At the end of the day, he didn't want to encounter any differing opinion and wanted them censored while allowing himself free reign to berate.
  15. Probably. Put Bryce there and he looks like Purdy. Put Purdy here and he probably looks like Bryce.
  16. He had some not so flattering things to say about Russ as a teammate.
  17. There's an interesting video of Marshawn Lynch breaking down how Aaron Rodgers saved his ass at Cal. I'll see if I can find it.
  18. Cousins... you can't take that sack. You gotta throw it somewhere. Hell, if you're going down you gotta fumble. You gotta do something to keep the ball live. If you eat the ball and just take the sack you've lost and that's exactly what you did. Just awful.
  19. Jerry Azumah is picking up what I'm putting down https://x.com/JerryAzumah/status/1711149348879278460?s=20
  20. He needs a Shanahan type surrounded by elite talent. We have our work cut out for us but we signed up for all of it.
  21. The Evero hype took a big hit today. It's probably completely gone after next week.
  22. We have a noodle armed QB and underthrowing deep balls and having your receiver flail into the trailing DB is an automatic flag. We need to just play the system. Let Bryce chuck 'em up and just have our receiver flail into the trailing defender.
