So you are suggesting that he throw to covered receivers to make sure the ball arrives on time? But when you use data and logic like "Plain and simple" and "anyone...should have known." The argument is proven and should evolve from opinion to theory to fact simply when those powerful and insightful phrases are utterered because the underlying assumption is you have more intelligence than the coaches and front office staff--so who are we to challenge your authority?

I had the same thought, but if you throw in the additions of the guards and what they did in New Orleans for Brees, I think it is more than Seattle. But I have the same worries--we do not have Lynch.

Don't forget that the Panthers are also infusing some Sean Payton Drew Brees offensive strategies too-we added 2 stud guards which is something that Payton found to be essential to Brees' passing from the pocket success. Now, what did all three of these programs have in common? I doubt Russell Wilson would have been successful without Pete Carrol and I doubt Brees would have been successful had he stayed in San Diego. You could argue that Wilson was not successful in Denver, but in 2023 before being benched he was 26TDs vs 8 Ints and a completion rate over 66%.

Here is one explanation of Bryce--He has never been the underdog--aways played with a lead, always had the best team, best OL, and usually, the best WRs. Since high school. Now imagine a bully who punches you in the arm every time he walks by you. At first, you walk by with confidence and it catches you off guard. Then you start flinching and taking side steps to avoid the hit. He still hits you. This happens for an entire year. Now think of what you would do if you walked by him and he didn't hit you. You would still dodge, duck, dip, and dodge, and people would look at you like you were an idiot. Point: even when Bryce had a clean pocket, he was not confident and he prepared to be hit. This guy talks about him being out of rhythm etc. Then he still blames Bryce when he demonstrates that there was no separation and the routes were predictable. In addition to that, he mentions that Bryce often had LESS than 2 seconds to throw before getting pressure. So the Defense knows you have to throw because you are behind--they know what play you are going to run--since they can cover you in man they can rush 7, play man under with cover 1 or 2 support over the top---vs. your 5 OL and a RB who can't block. Our TEs were not open. Bozeman decided to suck hard, and we had 9 different players start at both G spots. Campen sucked, folks--was saying it all year. So Bryce flenched on the rare occasion that he was protected for more that 2 seconds. What does flinching look like? Feet out of position (Cam had the same issue--the brain tells the feet to run), timing off (second guessing due to previous forced errors) etc. Bryce needs to go back to feeling confident in the pocket. I hope he is not traumatized by 2023. He has to be second guessing his ability--like you are. Self-fulfilling prophecy.

Forget about your opinions of Bryce--that means nothing. Get past it. Now, how can you make this offense work? Get a stud OL. Get a WR who can separate--get another one in the draft. Get a pass catching TE weapon, get a better RB and run first, pass second. That is what Canales is doing. Make them stop the run. Let's see what happens.

They are not that bad--a delicacy in South Central Monroe, actually.

This is exactly what I thought--however, during the draft, someone said his return was slated for July 1. That is too soon. imo, unless the complete tear is a faster process than a partial. Maybe I did not understand what was being said. I personally think they should IR him for four games and then take about 2 weeks to activate him--roughly midseason? Right now, (and I think Sanders will be OK with the new OL--if he stays) we have a loaded RB room. Penny, Blackshear, Sanders, and Hubbard without Brooks. We can bring him along slowly.

Every once in a while----remembering Fred Lane.

We also signed the Monmouth RG to try out, I think. They were making some holes---I never saw the RB get touched in this video---hard to say--but if we can sign one undrafted free agent to the roster and maybe four to the PS--that is a pretty good haul.

We signed an undrafted free agent from Monmouth (going from memory) who might make the PS--a sleeper, they say. I watched his highlight tape--he had a solid OL and has good vision--huge holes and seemed to score on 2 offensive plays.

Do they have a system in place (Scheduling) where only a team with 9 home games hosts a game in another country? It would be remarkably unfair for a team to have to host a home game in Europe, for example, if they do not have but 8 home games and 9 visiting games. I am also interested to see if any team that plays in another country has a Thursday night game afterward. Guess I could Google it.

They bombed Pearl Harbor. Never forget.

Legette has the most upside of any WR in this draft. That does not mean he is better, but the room between where he is and where he could become is wider than anyone else--very close to Mitchell.

I think the first three were obvious---then it was a pretty safe pick sending Odunze to Chicago--the Jordan Morgan and Graham Barton picks were laughably lucky

having the worst record in football has advantages over being mediocre.

Good point--waiting does not serve his best interests.

Yep--shoulda called them the Gary Indiana Sweat Shop

If all 5 of our CBs had the last name "Jackson" wonder what we could call all 5 Jacksons? OK--my meds are kicking in--I am back.

This is ironic--and undoctored, authentic photograph.

Read the first line of my post---then read your response. A few points---I acknowledge that I have not seen the players on the field yet, something you seem to point out in order to attack my opinion--that is what I call going full Richard Cranium. I state that he did not get bullied (trade values don't need performance criteria--they make trades without knowing the player's nfl game performance in the draft--should not have to explain that to you. There are still good deals and bad deals). He did not get bullied like the trade up last year. He got us a second rounder back. How is that like Fitterer last year? I'll wait for you to answer, but I do not think you will--effectively using things called "facts"

Because it is my mind--I don't need your approval to change it. Do you always poo a post before seeking clarification? I could have explained it, but your intent was not to learn.

Dammit. Would someone put her on a leash? We are a David Tepper onion ring away from having this as our owner.

I might target former 2017 first rounder Adoree' Jackson (We like CBs named Jackson) who is 28. He had a down year in 2023, but before that, he has been solid most of the time-- Steven Nelson (31) Houston had 4 picks last year and has been pretty solid. I am not sure I would target one CB and wait for an answer--we need them in here for OTAs. (Some of these veterans, like Favre at the end of his career, will hold out or not sign until after camp--that is good for the veteran player, but for team chemistry and mentoring, it is not ideal.)

Already noticing differences At least this year, we did not see photos of Xavier hugging Mrs. Tepper (even if others were hugged, it simply suggests owner involvement on a premature level, imo)--there were no cute news conferences wherein the head coach jokes about drafting a RB because he had a good game against Baylor and his wife told him to; There are not recordings of the head coach calling a long snapper and trying to convince him that he is being drafted and not pranked. In other words, I get the feeling that the GM was actually able to do his job this year--we shall see.
