It's disappointing that Funchess and Kony Ealy have not developed as hoped but they have been given every opportunity to succeed.

I'm worried about Ealy, but Funch I still see flashes and given his youth, I think he could still turn into a very solid WR for us.  But Ealy? I think this year was his make or break year, and he hasn't really shown much.

The first six games destroys the whole "injury" excuse. Let's take a trip down memory lane.

1.) Broncos - Loss close game due to missed field goal/predictable game plan in the 2nd half.

2.) 49ers - We beat a bad team. Oher's season pretty much ends.

3.) Vikings - All facets of the team failed after being up 10-0 and giving up a safety & punt return TD before the half. Vikings defense took over in the 2nd half.

4.) Falcons - All on the secondary.  Biggest victim: Bene Benewikere 

5.) Buccaneers - DA/Shula literally throws this game away.

6.) Saints - All on the secondary.  Biggest victim: Zack Sanchez

 

Injuries only would have affected the Bucs game...And that's on Cam for showboating and not keeping his head on a swivel. 

 

The main reason this season went down is due to Gettleman's gamble which failed.

And when the team started to play good the injuries hit like a train. The fact we are still mathematically in the race shows how much things could be different had our OL been healthy, Cam hadn't missed a game, Coleman hadn't missed a game, Luke, Bradbury,  etc.

We aren't talking anything like 15-1 but 10 and 6 would have been easily attainable with just a healthy consistent OL. You can't tell me we couldn't have picked up two extra wins with a healthy roster.

Your "trip down memory lane" has a very bad memory.

First off, how exactly do you acknowledge that our starting left tackle got hurt in week two and then say Injuries weren't a factor in the first six games?

Also, did you forget James Bradberry got hurt in the Falcons game and sat for the next few?

And why again was Zack Sanchez even playing in the Saints game?

But hey, if you just ignore the guys that got injured, I guess injury isn't a factor, right?

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
