Donald LaFell

Roll the dice with a 2nd round pick and this is what you get. Devastating injury. It’s a bust until proven otherwise.

I’m excited to see the defense improve year over year for sure. I understand if Evero leaves but I hope his replacement doesn’t require them to start over from scratch.

That’s such a positive for next year too. Fox/Rivera teams felt like they underachieved but this team really feels like they are doing all they can to stay in games. I’m excited to see them keep building the team according to Canales’s vision

I’m not optimistic but I don’t want to find reasons to be pessimistic either. He’s playing well enough to win games which is a start. I won’t really trust that he can win a superbowl until after he’s hoisting a Lombardi.

I’m also curious because I still can’t really believe in him yet. I don’t know how he’s suddenly able to rip it over the middle and how he isn’t making the same terrible throws. I’m not confident at all him, but if he keeps playing like this he’s probably good enough to lead the team next year. You can focus on fixing the run defense and maybe that will finally settle the Bryce debate.

He’s got work to do but you grossly underestimate his funny accent, that’s worth another 2 years at least.

I listened to the game on the radio and met friend at a sports bar for wings to finish it out. That was a lot more fun than Bryce looking like total poo. Not sure what the future holds but the team is competitive at least. The expectations are still low so the losses don’t sting so bad.

I guess I’m just worried he won’t be better or consistent. I just don’t see him beating good teams in the playoffs. These last 3 games have been solid but I simply can’t get his awful start out of my mind. It would be miraculous if he turned it around. At the current level he’s playing I think it’s fine for him to stay with the team but I definitely want legit competition brought in for his entire tenure here.

I appreciate it! it’s great to see the ball hitting receivers in the hands at least. They definitely let him down against KC. Even if we are getting blown out as long as he can get the ball to the playmakers that’s good enough for me(at least for this season).

I can’t find any room for optimism with Bryce. I’m not even in a “would love to be wrong” state of mind. I just want to move on. No matter how good he looks the rest of the season I can’t see him ever taking this team to the promised land. I can’t really even expect him to play better next season once the expectations are on again.

I’m glad for any reason to be glad. He played so bad early I’ll never believe in him. Just hope it helps the team get better but that they find someone that doesn’t have physical limitations they need to overcome.

I agree but he might have been a nice transitional coach. He definitely seemed to be in the Fox/Rivera mold but those defensive players coaches have a nice appeal.

To be fair Filet mignon-ade prob doesn’t taste very good

Hopkins is a real warrior. He schooled the DB coach on tv that one time and got the best of our number 1 corner who has his own NFL bloodlines. refs could have let things go though

I’m not sure that his ceiling is high enough but if he can get the ball to playmakers that’s a huge improvement. I’m never going to be in his camp because I don’t think he can run the entire playbook and I have zero confidence he could win a Super Bowl.

It’s good observation on the effort front. Random comment but I love how JT Sanders seems to turn up field right when players are expecting him to get out of bounds, although I kind of worry about him getting blown up.

No fumbles, no injuries and maybe a play that gives him a boost of confidence

I think these kinds of questions understate how bad he has looked and how limited he is physically. If he looked amazing I would still want the team to look for a starting QB. I still don’t expect the team to make playoffs next year so I don’t care who the QB is but you cannot consider him to be in any future plans. I think cutting him is the least distracting move and best for everyone.

I expect a rookie RB to usually take it sideways and “dance” in the backfield longer than you would want. Brooks seems like he has good vision though and the o-line should give him clear holes to aim for. Chiefs game might be a rough debut but I hope he’s able to get some touches.

lol the weather man? I think he had some substance abuse issues going on but might be doing better.

That’s cool, I think I remember when he retired his agent explicitly mentioned him taking care of his money which I love to hear. I hope that’s still the case. I wish all players did that. Even the lower paid guys could be set up for life once they hit 3-5 million. The guys that amass a few hundred thousand will still get a good head start on life if they play their cards right.

Dang I’ll Google for it if he has any clips/interviews

I always think of Gamble, he seems like a very private person. It’d be nice if he made an appearance once in a while.

Can’t lie I wouldn’t have gotten it without @1989 mentioning Harris confirming my suspicion that he and Robinson were tied in sacks. hubbard was easy to guess from watching the games, woods too kinda since the defense is awful you know a safety will be leading in tackles lol

Hubbard, Robinson/Harris, Xavier Woods
