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.

    • 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
