We were terrible, but that's to be expected when you look at the personnel.

I mean, yeah, but they knew they were making sacrifices in regards to the defense. With the injury to Brown and to a lesser extent Shaq, we were cooked. Sure, the FO is accountable for trying to ensure (and insure) that the (im)perfect storm doesn't happen, but making lemonade out of lemons is really not realistic in the NFL. Matt Rhule and Scott Fitterer (under pressure from David Tepper) left the roster in shambles from too many angles. Dan Morgan and company concentrated on offense last off-season with a so-so result, but still to the detriment of the defense, including a wing and a prayer at EDGE. All that being said, I dislike the scheme, especially when you're trying to rebuild (and, yes, we were/are rebuilding regardless of what they say), but, then again, I guess that ripping the band-aid off is a rational approach during a transition. Still, I prefer a 4-3 base (admittedly, maybe because it's what I'm used to). I am highly skeptical of Evero's scheme because to me it makes it easier for the RB to gain a head of scheme, and if you don't have the speedy physical backers and safeties you're cooked. I'd much prefer that Evero goes, but if he stays he'll have a fairer shot to make a believer out of all us non-believers.

Drake Maye looks like the real deal, so yeah.

The Pats aren't trading Maye to anyone. /End

Dude, we need a receiver regardless. I don't think acquiring one, whether it be on day one or two of the draft or the first day of FA, will signal anything but that we have a sober-minded FO. If Tet McMillan is on the board, I expect us to give him a look regardless---be at his pro day, and I absolutely expect us to bring him in for a private workout. Anything less is managerial malfeasance. The same for Burden III, I might add.

Piniero is the lazy man's answer on special teams. Plus, evolution didn't give him the clutch gene.

It's just too early for me to even think about it. Emotionally, I want to win at least 9 games, but intellectually I have to see the personnel and get my mind right before I can say what I'll be good with record-wise.

I think Canales is trying to find his way. Within that same vein, we were officially put out weeks ago, so I think he's experimenting a little bit. I really didn't see anything egregious in the playoffs last season. If he had had a real RB, they may have won the game.

I'd say third or later, maybe, but with one of those fourths I'd skip to the podium.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with drafting Milroe depending upon the round.

Damn, was Wonnum playing? I just assumed he wasn't.

I don't think that it's rushing biased as much as it takes rushing into account (as well it should in my opinion). If you move the ball via passing or rushing, you're still moving the ball. Plus, if you look at their actual passer ratings, it's harder to say that Burrow is a so much better passer. Now of course just sheer passing yards does stand for something in the passing equation, but you still can't discount a QB's ability to run.

I think that you can give Bryce credit and still require that he play better. A lot of this is relative and perspective-based. Even "reasonable expectations" can be more subjective than objective. I just don't like not having a definitive answer in light of the investments on the offensive side of the ball. That speaks to organizational dysfunction in my mind. Bryce probably should have sat the entirety of last season, or at least the first half. All that being said, as an aside, I think that you can give Bryce credit while also wanting someone else to start, or at the very least provide legitimate competition (which doesn't happen enough in the NFL).

I'm down for any of them, Milroe in particular. We need to spice things up around here.

He hasn't, but I hope that he has a career day on Sunday. I would love nothing but to spoil the Falcon's and all their fan's day. Of all the NFCS teams, I love to beat them.

You know me, Snow. Sometimes I can't help responding in kind. As much as I say I'm going to improve, it just never works. I just don't have it in me. The man child is a hypocrite of the highest order.

You're stupid. Are you drunk? On drugs? Life got you down? Just shut the fug up. You said that you weren't interested in debating me anymore and gave me your signature calling card of a disingenuous salutation. But yet, you keep on talking. I'm not interested in debating you any more than you're interested in debating anyone. I will respond to your continued stupidity though...at least until I'm tired of entertaining myself at your useless expense.

LOL. My son had to tell me that Sanders was injured when I asked about him last week.

Oh, that hurts my feelings.

You're a terrible poster. I couldn't even get through the other thread for your insulting people and calling them out for their maturity. You're a terrible Huddler.

And that's the "dirty little secret," that has become not so much of a secret in recent years, especially inasmuch as it relates to QB. Teams give up on guys way too early, coaches don't coach to their strengths, and some guys simply need more time to develop than others due to a variety of issues including understanding the transition to the pros, scheme fits, and the fugery of coaches, situations and organizations. Outside of QBs, you can even use guys like Jeremy Chinn, Mike Gesicki, or Haason Reddick as examples.

No, I actually don't love talking about you, and I actually thought you were a good poster at one time, but I've noticed the downturn in your discussion---real talk---I just haven't said anything until now. As for all the other bullsh¡t you're talking...

Go ahead and block me then. At one point I thought that you were capable and sensical, but the recent seasons have proved me wrong. Your responses have become more emotional and you love playing the victim. Believe me, there are plenty of people on here who know that I am more than capable of providing a good discussion. That's a fact. If you're incapable of realizing that, then it says more about you than me.

Yeah, you're a drive-by pot-shotter.
