I've only seen a couple games, but I like what I've seen so far. Hibbert looks solid to me and I think Clifford can make use of his presence.

And let me just say it is phenomenal seeing MKG doing his thing. Here's to better luck for him this year.

What do you guys think of what you have seen thus far?

yeah we say this every season until the second week of the season when he gets an injury that costs him the rest of the season

Really liked seeing Hibbert match up against Whiteside. That was an obvious area that we needed to improve on. Also great having MKG back. 

I am a little worried about our depth this year: 

Sessions < Lin,

Marco < Lee (especially defensively)

Hibbert = Al (defensively better but offense is much less)

For us to have a better year than last: 

1. MKG stay healthy

2. Frank and/or Zeller must develop into impact players

3. Jeremy Lamb must play like he did in the preseason and the first 20 games last year

The shooting has been poor.  RJ Hunter, 2015 first round pick, is available.  Drop Graham and slide him in to help space the floor.

 

Kemba/Sessions/Roberts

Batum/Marco/Harrison

MKG/Hunter/Lamb

Williams/Frank

Hibbert/Hawes/Zeller

We're a tad thin across the board.  Especially weak at the 4 spot.  But I agree hibbert has looked solid at the rim.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
