Well .. 'cant teach big' as Guttleman would say. Stays true to his belief ... probably to a fault. Dont think we needed to move up that far to get him. Wow ... seriously thought we were moving up to get OL help. Cant believe we will go another year without it.

Is that about shaq or funchess?

Both. He's saying that he talked to a lot of other professional teams who aren't high on Shaq Thompson or the pick, and that a lot of reliable scouts he talked to didn't like Funchess pre-draft.

Is basically just saying that a lot of other teams think we're having a pretty poor draft.

I'm not super happy about trading our 3rd, but I'm excited about Funchess. Cam could throw for 40 TDs this year...

He is way more likely to get sacked 40 times than to throw 40 TD passes. Our OL is still putrid and both of our main divisional rivals just added pass rushers this draft.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
