He's an average QB with an all-time great WR.

As much as I love Jake, this has to be how the rest of NFL fans felt watching Smitty spend his prime with Jake.

Yup Cam and someone like Julio would have air superiority over the NFL.

The difference was, Matt Ryan was a number 3 pick and has gotten repeatedly Uber paid,...

I don't think they would.  We would be trying to force the ball to Julio just like Atlanta did.  Better to have several good receivers and spread the ball around than to have one great one and continuously trying to force the ball to him.

Basically the way the Patriots do it.

This is interesting. I wasn't paying that close of attention to the Falcons line up. I didn't know if Ridley ghosted because he wasn't on the field or they just didn't target him. This tweet clears things up:

 

That's Ryan's fault. Guy was a piece of toast last night. Just crumbled.

      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.
