I have not posted in a while but all this info and training camp news has gotten the old juices flowing....So with that said a lot of the talk around here is that Byrd If he makes the team It would be for special teams. With that said I'm not sure how many special team/utility guys we need on a roster thats already deep at the main position both these guys would most likely see time at(outside special teams) So with that said does Byrd's chance to make the roster finally make Webb a man with out a home? Sure Webb does a lot more and plays 3 roles for the team but chances are he wont see time at QB(barring some downright meltdown In which case i would rather sign some guy with more starting exp.) Not many teams carry 3 qbs all year but It is nice to have a guy that can play that role as well,But if it is up to me and It means keeping a Dynamic special teams guy and Improving WR I take Byrd cut Webb and see how thing shake down with the rest of the wideouts....I hate to see Bersin Philly or Steven Hill gone just for a special teams spot...so have at It what say you?

Considering they just extended Webb in March I think he's a lock.  At his size and athleticism who can replace him as scout team QB, gunner, and return blocker? I don't think it's Byrd. He's a  more useful than Hill IMO. His versatility frees up roster space as opposed to wasting it.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
