i have hated that role and wanted us to get over it for so long. you know who the underdog is? a  team that nobody expects to win. you know why they aren't expected to win? because they don't. it's fine for one, maybe two years, but to be perennial underdogs means all you do is lose and achiev really nothing and all you have is hopes that maybe...someday...you'll be a winner, but then you won't be an underdog anymore.

teams with a reputation for winning can't considered an underdog.

 

"but..but we never do well when people expect a lot from us!" we need to get over that poo as well.

 

climb on top of that hill and claim your place as the best and dare everyone to come and take you off of it. have some balls instead of being some passive wuss franchise afraid of succeeding because they can't handle the pressure.

Please use your superpowers to post that again. I have more delicious pie for you.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By woahfraze · Posted

      Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.

      Jalen Ramsey

      Totally agree with you, if we had invested in drafting a corner or two I wouldn’t even ponder adding Ramsey. But, to be honest we legit added nobody to our corner room this offseason we have nobody worth developing. Even if Chau Smith Wade is better then what I think, he is the only guy we have invested draft capital into outside of our starters.
