A legitimate reason as to why we will make a run

By run I do not mean 10-0... I could see 9-1, or 8-2 and i'll explain. Everyone is overly frustrated with the struggling secondary, but the answer is on our roster. Bradberry came out week 1, and took a beating by Thomas. That said it was his first start ever against a very talented WR, but Bradberry still looked the part. He came out week 2 and played great, the only TD he 'gave up' was the deep ball where Tre was late coming over the top. (He was the number 1 rated CB for week 2) If we have him against Atlanta (we still lose) but Julio does not go off for 300 yards. The big play to Mike Evans the next game I don't feel happens with him on the field, and I also feel the bomb to Cooks this week doesn't happen. I feel with Bradberry healthy and on the field after the bye week he will shore up a lot of the issues you see going on. He will not be perfect, but with our offense finally finding its groove (Mainly due to Stewart being back) I feel it will be enough to limit the big plays and finally start racking off some W's. I know we lost but it was nice to see the offense finally click. This team is used to going on runs, we have done it 3 years in a row now I see no reason as to why we can't find ourselves 5-5 or 6-5 at some point this season.

dude...the fun's over. this year was a waste. our best hope is to get in the top 5 and pick a game changer like the Cowboys got with Zeke and be able to go right back to being a contender

I agree that we do need a game changer at the RB position, Stewart can only last so long. To me Fozzy and CAP are NOT the answers to the backfield once Stew hangs it up or wears out.

I can't look at the worst secondary along with one of the worst pass rushes in football and think they are going to all of sudden flip the switch.  The entire defense is on skates.  The offense, with Cam playing well, might be good enough to win some games against the teams with both a bad D and bad O, but looking at the remaining schedule they are few and far between.  If they go 5-5 down the stretch that would be really solid for this team, but not in terms of draft position though.

I agree man, Bradberry can help cover half of the field and if you have Teddy on the other side his speed will help him recover if he bites on double move. Also the offense is on a roll and if we play similar to Dallas style O the secondary will not be exposed as much! KEEP POUNDING!!!

i like bradberry he has talent and potential we need him back but this is a learning year for him as well . the difference between whorley , sanchez and bradberry is bradberry has the potential , whorley and sanchez will be out of the nfl in a couple years they straight suck. we need to make another move if we are going to attempt to save this season but we probably will sign a bum at most and thats not even guaranteed . i like what i have seen from teddy he has a similar mentality as norman just doesn't have the skill set but he does look like a decent corner for the most part.  mcclain has to go he is so bad as well .

Williams has the speed and size just needs more experience, far as McClain goes he is best suited to play nickel.

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      You kinda gloss over this, but this is really at the crux of this whole argument....which Flacco are we talking here?  You bring up that he played with 3 different teams but ignore the fact that his performance varied quite a bit from team to team. 2024 Colts: 65.3% completion, 12 TDs, 7 INTs, 220.1 YPG, 7.1 Y/A, 90.5 rating 2025 Browns: 58.1% completion, 2 TDs, 6 INTs, 203.8 YPG, 5.1 Y/A, 60.3 rating 2025 Bengals: 63.4% completion, 12 TDs, 3 INTs, 290.6 YPG, 6.8 Y/A, 96.2 rating 2025 Flacco (Browns + Bengals): 61.1% completion, 14 TDs, 9 INTs, 252.0 YPG, 6.1 Y/A, 80.8 rating vs. 2025 Bryce: 62.7% completion, 14 TDs, 7 INTs, 196.2 YPG, 6.2 Y/A, 86.0 rating I bolded the comparison that I think objectively makes the most sense...just simply comparing the two QBs for the entire season.  Otherwise you'd be cherry-picking Flacco's time with the Bengals and ignoring his earlier stint with the Browns, which sounds an awful lot like people cherry-picking Bryce's stats in the second half of last season. So again, which Flacco?  Basically the only thing consistent with Flacco across each of these teams was his W/L records: 2-4, 1-3, and 1-4 respectively.  I'd say if we're comparing each version of him to Bryce this year: Colts Flacco > 2025 Bryce, Browns Flacco <<< 2025 Bryce, Bengals Flacco >> 2025 Bryce, and 2025 Flacco < 2025 Bryce - Flacco this year only beats out Bryce on YPG but in part because he throws significantly more passes (almost 60 YPG more than Bryce, despite a lower Y/A which is pretty telling) .  Flacco is maybe the most apt case study about how important a QB's circumstances are to his success.  He was easily a bottom 3 QB in Cleveland and arguably top 10-15 in Cincinnati...and we're talking about the same player from the same season.  All that happened was taking him from one team and plopping him onto another team; nothing inherently changed about him as a QB.  Funny enough I think that's all that one dude on here was trying to say when he made that long poorly-received post after having an epiphany working for PFF behind the scenes or w/e.  That it's largely short-sighted to just try to evaluate QBs in a vacuum when there are so many variables at play that ultimately decide whether a QB is successful or not.   I think Bryce has been mediocre at best this season and I'm ready to move on regardless of how he ends this season - I'm highly skeptical a strong end to the season will carry over into next year considering how last year ended and this year began.  I would certainly agree that he's a bottom-third QB this year.  I just don't understand you scoffing indignantly at anyone holding the opinion that Bryce has had a better season than Flacco...I can only assume it's recency bias.  Or maybe you know the stats don't support you, which is why you're conjuring up the god-forsaken arbitrary "eyeball test" which is the kinda thing people in here were saying about Fields for years, pinky promising that he really truly was a franchise QB despite his awful stats.  Perhaps it's called the eyeball test because I roll my eyes anytime I hear someone bring it up seriously as an argument.

      A question no one is asking about Bryce and The Panthers

      CMC said he expected to play his career here.  He didn't think he would be traded.  Carolina decided they wanted to trade him.  He picked here he wanted to go.   But we dumped him.  For largely peanuts.   But we dumped DJ Moore and he never had a blood and guts game.   So it's never a guarantee.

      I have many people telling me CMC was blindsided and heartbroken by the trade, but that's not how I remember everything going down.  49ers are pretty wounded right now on defense so if our offense can sustain drives and score, that'd be the difference maker. Their offense? I'm not scared of CMC.
