I'm as hopeful, and as loyal a fan as any, but even on our best days we aren't beating anyone in the playoffs, this just isn't the season, we were blessed with limited injuries last season, and this year just over half way through we suffered so many more at a myriad of positions. We're 3-6, and we're not going to win 7 straight games. The team, and the personnel available is too inconsistent.

I don't want another 7-8-1 type season where we back into the playoffs, I'd much rather we play for the draft picks, as much as I like and trust Gettleman, we have GLARING holes on the roster specifically T/DE/Secondary. And while I like the young pieces, we have no depth anywhere, not at any positions excluding WR/DT/LB. All other position groups are devoid of depth talent. We've all witnessed that with injuries to Oher, Stewart, and the defensive secondary.

While I want to see a run as bad as anyone, because trust me it sucks to watch my favorite team lose, I'd much rather see us be able to address positions of need via the draft, as it's been proven that we aren't ever gonna shop at Tiffany's, and I'm fine with that, but we need to have better prospects coming in. And while big men allow you to compete, it's often the little men that win the games (Eric Berry & Marcus Peters).

I hear you but I have never given up until we are mathematically out of it.

We are two games out of 1st in our division.  We still have to play Atlanta again.  We are 4 last minute loses from being 7-2.   WE have been competitive.  Just gotta get on a roll.   Start on Thursday beat the ain'ts. and those next two will be good gauges on where we are. 

While the light at the end of the tunnel is getting very small.   I won't give up.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Watching those throws Drake Maye was making on a dead run threading lasers into tight coverage on the sidelines over and over in that game against the Bills... these people need to go watch that and be honest with themselves. And yeah, I'm a Heels fan but I'm specifically using Maye here because he's another young highly drafted QB not an established top tier player. Seems like a fair apples to apples comparison versus using a Mahomes or Allen.

      why rig the scenario with the "as a passer" tag.   I mean, I assume you do that because Bryce needs help in the argument.  If we are just talking players and no contacts?   I mean, give me Young over Russell Wilson.   That's it.   I'd put him on par w/ Penix, Fields, McCarthy and Rattler,  so that's a wash.  Give me everyone else over Bryce.  And I'm not handicapping the other players as passing only because when you start doing that it's really meaningless.

      McCarthy to date, for sure. That's a very early sample size, however. Russell Wilson is a backup. Not sure Wilson wouldn't be better suited to our offense specifically, but at the bare minimum it's basically a wash. Hurts I would generally disagree with. I do think Hurts is likely to be less than stellar in our offense. Justin Fields - Agree. Fields is a significant threat on the ground but he sees the field as badly or worse than Bryce. And that's with significantly more reps. Spencer Rattler - I honestly thought this would be an easier call that it is. TBH, right now Rattler looks a lot better. Really almost across the board. Kyler - Murray is better. Basically across the board. Not significantly better, mind you. Trevor Lawrence is more debatable than it seems. Low completion percentages, tons of TO's.....he really has been quite bad this year in Jax. He is considerably more talented than Bryce but the results have been marginally better. Tua - Tua is a little more dynamic of a player but he is a TO machine. Tend to agree. Caleb Williams. Not sure on this. Williams is still struggling to be consistent but his upper end is WAY higher than Bryce. He shows it fairlu frequently, as well. Probably would rather be working through Caleb's issues than Bryce. Penix - 100%. This guy stinks. Cam Ward. This is a little tough. Again, far higher ceiling on Ward and he shows flashes but it's been a mess there in Tenn. Probably lean towards Bryce here.
