  1. Would love a low risk high reward signing. Surprised he wasn’t a first rounder with that pedigree. Not as gifted as Horn/Surtain but I’d have to try him out.
  2. I don’t really mind the extra day off, a lot of vets probably needed rest anyway and they have a late bye
  3. I think we are still 1-2 years and 1-2 very fortunate drafts from being competitive, no need to rush it.
  4. That is true especially with 7 teams now. I guess just imaging this team winning a wildcard on the arm of Bryce would blow my mind.
  5. I’m having a great time watching the team improve but I’m positive they are not playoff caliber.
  6. It’s too large of a sample size to blame coaching. Bryce has missed a lot of deep balls when he’s had the chance. Tetairoa seems to be a good match for him to put the ball in a contested spot near the sideline on a deeper shot but it seems like Bryce isn’t capable of dropping something in the bucket for a big play. To be fair we don’t have a deep threat like a Ginn in the past.
  7. I think he might be enough to be a back up. At times he looks like a top 64 QB. I wish him nothing but the best. He’s smart and has a lot of top football experience. Extending him will the death of this teams cycle and we’ll have to do another tear down with a new coach. Maybe we will rebound quicker if we keep drafting well.
  8. It works very well it’s just frustrating because it can win enough games to keep those three coaches employed even when they don’t innovate or ever make a decision that doesn’t come from a chart. If they weren’t so robotic in their decision making they’d be in the top tier of NFL coaches.
  9. The real threat behind center are all those high snaps from Corbett.
  10. A fan run podcast is diehards only. That plus the superstition factor means they definitely shouldn’t come back
  11. Some of it is probably just the hangover of being bad for so long. I’m still ready for it all to fall apart or blow it when we are favored. the run game is stellar and the defense is coming up with stops when they need to but this team still needs a big talent infusion. We see what happens when it goes wrong against playoff teams like NE or Buffalo. It’s clear the team is extremely limited by Bryce. We aren’t asking him to do much because he can’t. It’s like John Fox with The Golden Calf of Bristol in Denver.
  12. I definitely agree but I still feel like until you get a “better QB” it’s all moot. I don’t want us investing more in RBs when we’ll need to extend Ickey and sign a QB soon. Also we need a premier pass rusher.
  13. RBs come and go. QB is more important and that will elevate the entire offense.
  14. Honestly happy to let Rico get the carries this year and maybe Chuba is a decent role player the next few years. Always need fresh legs in the RB room. Chuba doesn’t seem to have any of the springiness he had in the past. I was always impressed with his patience but it feels like he has Miles Sanders disease right now. I think the calf is still bothering him.
  15. We feel desperate to keep Rico because the offense is hamstrung by all the things Bryce can’t do. Once we get a better QB you can cycle though RBs a lot easier. Right now our offense is operating like it’s 1970
  16. Do we have a limited amount of pie to give each day? That’s news to me.
  17. I’ve been pretty encouraged this season so far. We need to build talent and have enough of a base to build a winning culture with. Just keep drafting well and we will get there. I hope Canales/Young works out enough to at least move the roster in a better direction. Looking forward to seeing the next evolution.
  18. Mascot was the probably a little too familiar and taking the attention away from Newton.
  19. Even if it’s fluff they would have a harder time posting it if we were total booty cheeks. The team has a long way to go but is trending up.
  20. I think folks were just scared by the injury history. It’s basically chance. I feel like teams don’t have much of a choice but to resign their own draft picks but it feels like a big leap of faith when a guy has a lot of injuries.
  21. I assume we are talking about Foster and Davis in 05
