Recommended Posts

Who will gives us a immedient impact??

A TE to add with Olsen in a 12 personal offense sorta like we had with Olsen and Shockey..

Or

A true number 1 WR added with KB and Funch to go with a spread and help add a short passing game...

Honestly doesn't matter who we add to the offence. If the play calling doesn't get better they won't matter. The way we play now it's all about luck and perfect execution. It's creates close games that can go either way. Sometimes its 15-1 sometimes 6-10. If it doesn't change it'll always have big swings.

Howard and it isn't close. First, he's a genuinely elite prospect at TE, while Davis is a questionable WR1 in the NFL. Second, the ability to run 2 TE sets in our offense with genuinely good blocking and receiving TEs as a base package opens up a ton in both the running and passing game and is an ideal way to get more targets onto the field without sacrificing anything in the power run game. Good TEs also make the lives of shaky OTs easier and God knows we need some of that.

For me Howard would be the most impactful. We know exactly what we get. With Davis there are still questions if he can be a true #1. Even though I wouldn't take him over OJ, Ross if healthy would be more impactful than Davis from day 1 due to the fact that we could use him in the run, pass and return game. 

Disclaimer: Not saying I want Ross

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
