So sell me on how the loss of MKG ruins our season.

This isn't a knock on MKG, I know he's a solid player, but hearing the doom and gloom you would think we lost a Kevin Durant or type play maker or something.. Yes MKG will be missed, no doubt but I think the notion that our season is now done is ridiculous, if we lost Kemba or Al then yes, it would be panic time.. But the make up of this team is so different, and so many different moving parts from last season we are practically a totally different team that will be more offense focused anyway..

What we miss from MKG's defense, we will now make up for with scoring more points and having solid depth can shoot 3s.

Oh and btw, weren't we losing in the 1st pre season game and when MKG left we actually took the lead and won?

You're in here now too?  Sigh.

 

Everyone that has been in these forums knows that our record over the years WITH MKG is significantly better than without.  NOT EVEN CLOSE.  His hustle, his defense, and the way it forces the other team to play differently is huge.  It's not always about points.   I still think the contract was bad, only because of his injury risks, but no one can question what he brings to the court.

We're now down our only two guys that played defense last year, MKG and Biz (to another team).   We may pass better, score better, but we're going to be giving up a lot of points.

      Thielen was a "dawg" like Dan Morgan likes to say. And they replaced him with puppies.  The analytics are probably saying this is more targets for younger receivers they are hoping to develop, specifically the first round pick from 2025. The eye test is going to show a very inexperienced group of WRs that are going to have some serious growing pains, for a 3rd year QB who has not yet proven to be the guy going forward.  It's crazy how in the literal first game of his NFL career, Cam Newton showed everyone he was a star QB and there was never any doubt about that. It almost didn't even matter who was around him, although he definitely had a serious lack of talent at WR for most of his career. Bryce is going into his third season and there is still a ton of doubt, and who is around him is seen as crucial for him to have success. I don't like it.

      Everyone says AT was old and slow but the one thing he could do consistently was get separation. That takes skill and it's been a huge issue in our WR for years. And while Moore may be a great locker room guy and our WR coach may be a 12 year vet, he's not playing in the game. Vets like AT do what they do because they can see things others don't and exploit it. The DB interview I mentioned before was with Stephon Gilmore after his DPOY season. He was pulling the younger DBs aside showing them things you wouldn't even think you'd be able to tell from the way the receiver was standing.  Seeing what a DB or LB is biting on in game that can give you that half step advantage is huge and we don't have that experience in our WR group right now and I think it could end up hurting us. None of our receivers have lined up against NFL corners successfully on a regular basis. Having someone that can walk over and give you a tip to get a half yard separation can be a difference maker.
