I liked him as the first round pick too and said so many times in those pre-draft threads. I think Philadelphia did a great job in FA and draft. I will watch him with interest this year considering how much scorn was heaped on him by evaluators who value measurements. I'm really impressed with McCaffrey though-more than i expected, and like everyone here am hoping that Shula gets it right. Still the pick that I need most convincing on is Samuel though. Armchair GM that I am.

Just so you know, bro...that pic wasn't a response to you but to this thread.

Assuming this is not saintsreport, and is still a message board where the truth can be posted, it's as newsworthy as anything else that happened this week.  This guy was critiqued and mostly criticized for months here.  I don't like the Eagles but good for them.  Unfortunately they're an opponent this year as well.  Hopefully CMC truly is Marshall Faulk 2.0 because our all important DE situation next year and beyond looks like complete ass as of now.

your truth is subjective...but yeah...this isn't saints report. pretty silly to pull that out here. if this was saints report not only would this thread have been locked/deleted, but you probably would have been banned. instead you just have me who has the ability to do those things just saying "meh".

btw...i think we've got a good young few DEs and still a great interior DL (assuming we can manage to keep star around.

we needed to focus on improving the offense and giving us playmakers and improving the OL and that's exactly what we did. again...that's truth. may not be one that you agree with or as important as your truth, but still truth nonetheless.

Yeah CMC is special so we'll see.  Hopefully we get lucky next year at DE.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
