I'm not worried, are you?

Playing the Pats for the 3rd preseason is a good thing.  They are aggressive.  They will show you different looks.  It only makes us better.  Yes, we didn't look ready for game 1 of the regular season but that is what preseason games are for.  The young players got a taste of the real world.  The vets see where they need to beef up their play.  All in all, I'm not worried about the regular season.  I believe in Rivera doing his job as head coach.  We have great players that will take last night and put it to good use.  And by-the-way billy cheat and his hip pocket doll brady suck.

Not at all. In fact, many people was worried with his game yesterday, so I watched the preseason games of 2015 to compare.

Pass almost intercepted against the Bills in week 1.

Week 2 against the Dolphins. Overthrown targeting Dickson

Pick-Six

Week 3 against the Patriots. Overthrown in the endzone.

A completed pass to Olsen, but not a smart decision throwing in double coverage and the throw was bad.

Overthrown. Again.

"Not even short pass. We'll be crushed by the Saints"

In fact, looking at just the numbers in preseason, try to guess what is season 2015 and what is season 2016.

Year ????: Rate 64 1TD 2 Ints 26/47

Year ????: Rate 77.2 1TD 2 Ints 26/48

We'll be fine.

    • Every team does it's homework. More so than any fan.  Brooks, had he not been injured, would have been a first round talent.  I have zero problems with the team (Dan Morgan and company) drafting Brooks in the 2nd.  He is a fantastic talent.  As far as risk, this is the NFL.  Any and every player is exposed to the same brutality that the NFL is.  Despite Brooks latest setback, it doesn't cost the team much.  Our running back room is stacked.  Could they have drafted someone else? Sure. No promise that someone else would have made an impact last year.  Or this year.   When it's your job to do what Dan does, I pray you get it all right. Lord knows that there isn't a single GM that gets it all right.   
    • Dang, we might not be able to create the same magic from last year!
    • If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2023 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 NCAA season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade.
