Shaq as the starter is the correct move.

Now Tre Boston needs to be starting over Coleman. That may take a big play or two where Coleman and Harper get burned for touch downs, but it will happen. Just wish the move was made so they have a safety on the field who can cover ground, Coleman and Harper are not coming across the field to intercept the ball near the sideline when a top QB was certain the receiver was wide open.

Learn the hard way. Need to move Boston to starting FS and Coleman to SS. Harper comes in for Coleman on red zone packages and dime packages.

Didn't Coleman get an INT on Tom Brady? And he led AZ in INTs last year. Granted with 3 but the point is, it looks like he's more than capable in coverage.

Thrilled Shaq has developed so quickly in spite of the various challenges that he's named a starter.  Awesome.

As for the Boston vs. Coleman debate, I predict Coleman could vie for a spot as one of our core defensive players.  Not only does he look like a great ball hawk who is physical and TOUGH, he seems to have that fire and ability to motivate the D.  TD leads as the emotional heart (and of course his pro-bowl level performance too.)  Luke with his outstanding motivation, commitment and technical skill.  Coleman could be the "fire in the belly" guy - he's the one coaches had to remind not to pound our own O players during Camp!  I'm LOVING what I see of him. 

I'm thinking Harper will be gone next year?  Not sure of his contract status though...

      You are right. At the same time I don’t think people are watching games going come on Bryce put it on the ground or sail it OB or whatever. They just have trouble seeing him turning his 3 or four or five top games of 2025 into the weekly standard outing. Which you expect for the kind of money he will ask for (speaking for myself anyway).

      In terms of comparing Pickett and Young's arm talent it's basically a push at best. Pickett is sitting at 6.2 yards per pass attempt for his career while Bryce sits at 6.0 Last season Bryce was 6.3 in yards per pass attempt. Only Justin Fields Spencer Rattler (both 6.2) Kyler Murray (6.0) 41 year old Joe Flacco (6.0) 44 year old Phillip Rivers (5.9) rookie Cam Ward (5.9) and Tyrod Taylor (5.8) had less pass yards per attempt than Bryce Young in his third season as a starter. Folks going around acting as if it is beyond the pale to say Pickett might have a better arm than Young are living in an alternate reality. You can choose to not believe your own eyes after 46 games but everyone else will acknowledge reality and move forward accordingly.
