In no particular order:

QB - Jimmy Clausen (goes without saying)

HB - Lamar Smith/2005 Stephen Davis (both averaged 3.5 YPC)

WR - D.J. Hackett, Rae Carruth, Louis Murphy, Dwayne Jarrett

LT/RT - Byron Bell

DE - Jason Peters

DT - Sione Fua, Ron Edwards

K - Justin Medlock

KR/PR - Joe Adams

Stephen Davis. Really?

LT- Byron Bell

LG - Mackenzie Bernadeau

C- Justin Hartwig

RG- Nate Newton

RT- Matt Willig

 

Hartwig was an all-pro in Tennessee, and didn't to terrible here when he had to start.  The problem with him was that he was signed and immediately got injured.  By the time he was fully recovered we had Kalil, and didn't need him or his contract.

Are we picking a player from one season or overall? Because some of these players had good careers but just bad 1 bad season with us.

I also believe players like Jeremy Bridges, Keydrick Vincent and Mackenzie Bernardeau were decent players for us and we have had way worse.

Safety seems like our worst position with guys like Shawn Williams, Deke Cooper, Colin Branch, Thomas Decoud, and Ron Harper was pretty bad until the end of the season.

I also thought Ron Edwards got hurt and never played for us, or maybe he played two games before he got hurt.

I think you go with the player in his prime, and take into account what they did over the course of their career.  That's the only way to really scrape up the bottom of the barrel and deliver a steaming pile of bad roster.  Otherwise, you end up with a bunch of schlubs who were battling injury or at the beginning or end of their careers when they were in Carolina.  And they had to actually EARN starts because there was no one better, not due to injury (sorry Tony Pike).

 

What scares you more, the prospect of Jimmy Clausen as your QB or Matt Moore?  Clausen outplayed Moore, but with Moore you had other seasons you could take comfort in--you knew he was capable of being better.  Clausen HAS to be the more terrifying prospect.  And his comparison should be Weinke, actually...

      I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.

      I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years.

      He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
