That is a steep price. They are getting him in his absolute prime, though.

Dont think Gruden like that mack never showed up to camp or off season activities beyond the money Gruden is an old school coach trying to show the young players its his way or the highway

Damn...  i liked discussing the possibilities, but tbh, I did NOT think they were gonna end up trading him to us, or anyone else.  I'd say 8 times out of 10, these things get worked out with the present team...  so, I'm surprised that they just traded him.  

In all honesty, Gruden better come out guns blazing this year, because this was a dumbass, ego-driven move.  Dumb, dumb, dumb....

I mean, he did get two first round draft picks out of the deal. It could end up as a win-win. We won't know for a few years.

Gruden has taken full control of that team like Belichick. He won't put up for nonsense or holdouts like Mack. He needs to prove again that he's a good enough coach for this to work, and if he doesn't he will quickly lose all his players' respect. I actually think he can do it and like the guy so we'll see. Oh and McKenzie will be out of there's within a year.

Well, odds are neither of them are going to be as good as Mack is, so it's a loss.  When you get a guy like that, you keep him.  I still don't understand why they didn't want to pay him.

It's hard to say. Maybe the Bears are a dumpster fire the next couple of seasons and Oakland lands some more elite talent. Time will tell.

If it was me? No way I would trade a player that good and that young.

      Some Tet appreciation

      He has a lot to work on for sure but he has been a huge boost to the offense. It's nice to finally have an elite WR.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By strato · Posted

      We have been on that roller coaster ride already. He needs to have streaks far longer than a couple of good games.  People raved about the Green Bay game in 2023. Which was mostly a good 2nd half and hot 4th quarter.  Ask me what happened the next four games, if you don’t remember. or just go look them up. There isn’t much to see.  The end of last year had some good things and one excellent outing, and look up what followed that, which you won’t have to but he came out this year looking like week 1 2023.  Now he is on a game and a half streak, against a bad Miami team and lowest rated defense in the league - at home.  This is the reality in the big picture. He needs to break his pattern, in a positive way.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This "noodle arm" characterization just baffles me. There's way more involved in a successful downfield passing attack than simple air yards. Let's take two stat-lines for throws of 40+ air yards (no YAC) from the last 3 seasons: 5/29 (17%) for 3 TDs and 2 INTs 1/9 (11%) for 1 TD So with three times the number of attempts, you net +6% completion percentage, the same TD rate, and 2 arm punt INTs to boot. The first player is Mahomes, the second is Bryce. Clearly Bryce attempts these throws at a much lower rate, but his success rate is quite similar to one of the most talented downfield throwers of all time. The takeaway isn't that Bryce is Mahomes-lite (if he was his usage rate for these would be much higher) but that these throws by their very nature are extremely difficult, very scheme-specific, and even an elite thrower can have wildly differing success rates season by season. And before we get into the complaints of cherry-picking, this is far more substantial information than the various insinuations that Bryce struggles to even get the ball 20 yards downfield, much less 40+. And the wildest part of this is that every time Mahomes threw a bomb over the last 3 season, 83% of the time the end result was failure, yet many Chiefs fans complain that he isn't taking even more shots downfield.
