Waste of 1st and 2nd round draft picks

2013 we hit with Star and Short

Since then

Kelvin who's meh in the middle. Definitely not a home-run pick

Ealy - not here

Shaq - Not doing enough

Funchess - Nope

Butler - I don't even see him

Bradberry - Looking decent

CMC and Samuel - Far as I can see they're on their way to being a waste here

Not good, not good at all.

Yeah these guys ought to be all pro after 2 games.  Fug g man.

I know Shula is a problem and having these two guys should make our offense better. However, I just wasn't a fan of these picks cause I knew Shula wouldn't use them right, and lets be real.. they're both running backs. I wanted one RB, Fournette period. If not him, I wanted Barnett.

I'm starting to blame this on Gettleman and maybe its Shula. Im really confused right now I tell you that

Yeah there's no excusing Shula. That first half was predictable and terrible. He started off real nice, but then he kept doing said stuff over and over and didn't come up with anything new.

 

Saint games provide some of the best illustrations of just how bad Mike Shula's play design is.

Payton's play design is genius level. Everything is set up to near perfection.

To beat the Saints offense, you pretty much have to consistently out execute them because you sure as heck aren't gonna out scheme them.

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
