We might have something here....

As most of you know by now, I have been fixated on the flexibility of the draft picks--their ability to understand multiple positions.  Nobody personifies this more than Bonnafon, a genuine Swiss Army knife.  He is a running back, he can catch passes, and he can throw passes.  He has a 43.5 inch vertical.  He runs a 4.4 (he said) at 6' 3".  He would/could save us a roster spot (backup WR, #3 QB, #3 RB).  Coaches say he has a great attitude.  Team player.

This kid will make the team.  Too good of an athlete.

so he is our back-up QB and RB depth?  sounds perfect

I am not sure that he is planned to be that, but that is where this is headed.  Shoot, with this kid, we can carry 2 QBs on the roster knowing he can play as an emergency QB.  We can carry 5 WRs instead of 6.  We can run the qb option, halfback option (run pass).  Woodie.

As a Louisville fan who has watched every game of his career, I am shocked with the amount of love he is getting on here and on twitter. He was recruited out of Trinity High School (Louisville HS) as a 3 star QB. There was a lot of excitement about him coming out of HS and being a local kid who player WB. Outside of beating ND on the road his freshman year, he was a flop at QB.

His first chance at RB was brutal. He was by far the worst RB they put out there. He then was moved to WR where he was ok out of the slot. His senior year they put him back at RB and he was solid. He was never the lead back. Reggie also never played a down of defense in 4 years, so not sure how he helps at CB.

with all that said, he is a great kid. His father who use to coach him and was very close to him died while he was in college. I felt awful for him, but he came back and took on an even bigger leadership role after that. I hope nothing but the best for him, but I don't see it.

I just made myself a Wikipedia page, says I play in the NHL ;)

actually, 6'0" is not accurate either.  It worked for you to round down .7 of an inch, so you went with it.

      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.
