Thanks. It wasn't my loss per sé, but my brother-in-law's sister and her husband whom I have known for 20+ years. They had a baby girl, born in May of this year prematurely---only one pound and four ounces. The little girl fought for seven months. They finally let her come home about 10 days ago (at six pounds). Everyone thought that she was on her way to a full healthy life. She was able to actually see the sun and the sky, and spend a few nights at home in a room with her Christmas tree. She unexpectly stopped breathing and passed away on about the fifth or sixth night. It was a difficult, tragic situation for us all. But the parents are strong and steadfast in their faith.

A luxury pick? Perhaps I don't clearly understand what you're saying. First round QBs are the ones that have the highest probability of actually succeeding in this league. Now "wasting first round picks on QBs" is a different story. "Wasting" picks like trading multiple firsts to move up and get a bust is not a luxury, it's just unfortunate at best or dumb at worst (depending on the situation of course). That being said, I believe that if you allow a prospective franchise QB to fall to you without giving up a king's ransom, then you have to take swings until you hit the homerun.

I mean, I don't remember too many people saying "Bryce is the answer," with their chest. He's still shaky, and in fact no one can say with surety that either Dave Canales, Dan Morgan or David Tepper are sold on Young. Hell, who here has said they're sold on him? We need to bring in legit competition for him. The only question is how high that draft pick is going to be. Everything is on the table.

Well, it was looking promising until I walked out the door about 1:15, then we apparently sucked. What happened? Bryce? Legette? The HC? Coordinators? O-line and D-line? Give me your honest & objective (as possible) assessment.

X needs to work with 89.

Well, at least the people responding aren't dogging X out like some. He's an unfinished project for sure, but all the talk of three years seems a little outlandish to me. He has made progress. He mostly just needs to get work in on the JUGS. I don't really understand why some others can't see that. I guess because they don't want to.

No, the receivers have been separating. Bryce is doing what he should've been doing.

Without reading any of the responses, let me say that you should be looking at Bryce's numbers since getting off the bench. You can't get a clear picture of improvement without that. Where have we ranked since then? Never mind the fact that Thielen returned during that time as well. You should also be looking at his efficiency (QBR & passer rating), and along with that take the passes that should've been caught. If you come away with the same conclusion after all that, I'd say that yourd not giving Bryce his true justice.

I still see the same people dogging X. He isn't a bust yet, guys. It would seem to me that you'd want to have some patience. Call him a "project" all you want, but all he really needs to do is get lots of work in on the jugs machine. He's open plenty. On an off note, I remember some of you talking poo about Chuba, and some of you told me that Jerry Jeudy was JAG. Funny how a change in atmosphere, faith by the coaches and their willingness to actually play to your strengths and put you into situations to succeed unlocks your potential.

Man, some Huddlers use to talk so much sh¡t about Chuba. It seemed like I was the only one saying that he was a good back that just needed an average line. I always suspected he was capable, but plenty of people would call him JAG.

I understand his pain, but dude has lost perspective.

LOL

Dan got that right. I wonder what's in store for FA this coming off-season.

He was 11th according to what I was told earlier, but, yeah, that's hardly historic. That being said, his hands have been a huge disappointment. If he can't figure that out, then a Cordarelle Patterson type of career may be in his future.

"Historically bad hands" is hyperbolic.

Bryce Young has manifested the team slogan.

I guess it's time to go look for... Glad I didn't donate it to Goodwill. The jury is still out, but I think that we're going to give Bryce another go at it in 2025. Honestly, he's done nothing but earn it since his ass was freed from the bench.

I've read analyses saying that Burden is more than a slot guy.

Yeah I noticed that after posting.

There are more than a few scouts that think he's the best receiver in the draft.

OK, 17th. I guess you could say that's high. He needs work on the jugs for sure. https://www.foxsports.com/nfl/stats?category=receiving&sort=rec_drops&season=2024&seasonType=reg&sortOrder=desc

One of the highest drop percentages?
