Pretty much me as well. I wanted McC least, there are probably 25 guys I wanted before him. But gotta trust DG and hope for the best. Definitely an exciting pick, though I badly wanted an elite defender. Will be all over the hype train within a couple days I'm sure. Just very skeptical about a Stanford back and a smaller one who's more like a Reggie Bush. And can Shula really use him to his strengths? Kinda doubt it. fug I wanted Barnett badly. Can't believe a QB and two WRs went before us and we still got stuck with McC. All for the best though, he'll be better than all 7 picked before us.

McCaffrey is either a bigger better Wes Welker or a Curtis Martin with receiving and return skills. There was no defender in the draft including Garrett or Thomas that would make as big an impact in that side of the ball as McCaffrey will make given his special teams and offensive skills. Stop bitching and wait and see what happens. That way you will have less crow to eat when you are wrong.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      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.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      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.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      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.
