Please add thoughts about the best player in the draft.  Jesus...it is like this guy was perfect in the best league in college football.  He went to the natty and won it from behind.  Damn,  if he is Peyton Manning or better he is worth all picks for us?  His film is ridiculous.

But is it the player or the system?? He wasn't that player the year before..

I mean, you can honestly make a very compelling argument that he had the best single year in college football ever.

Everyone wants to put it all on the system, but then...

That's what impresses me about Burrow. He keeps his head about him and while he may not have Brett Favre's arm, the guy seems to be able to deliver the ball the same no matter what whether he's set in the pocket and able to step up or running for his life throwing back across his body like you're not supposed to ever do. I mean, that's a 40 yard throw across his body while on the run. I don't want to hear that this guy doesn't have an arm.

OL actually did a good job.  There was really one guy pressuring him but looks like two then he threw in almost triple coverage.  Safety was completely lost and another CB never turned his head around.

Did it work or not? The difference between an elite franchise QB and a JAG is the ability to make the plays you're not supposed to be able to make. You don't coach guys to make the types of plays that Cam made in his prime, that Aaron Rodgers makes, that Patrick Mahomes makes. You either can or you can't.

If this QB is Peyton Manning he is worth our draft.  Just don't want him to die in Cincy.

He had a very solid team around him which helped him and his success.  Will be different story in Cincy.  That OL blows.

I'm not convinced he goes to Cincy. I think they might Eli their way outta there. That organization has zero desire to field a winning team and they'd just drafting them to ride his hype for a little while.

I added my previous comment.  I have seen other college QBs make amazing plays in college just took come to NFL and fall flat.  I’m not saying he will be bad QB in NFL, I just don’t think he will be Manning like.

Peyton manning was Peyton manning  all thur college not just 1 season...

How can we blame the player for being a one year guy when he was only in that system one year? The previous offense that LSU was running would've had John "a punt is not a bad play" Fox begging for a little more offensive aggression.

If the over/under is Peyton Manning, yeah I'll take the under.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By frankw · Posted

      The OL has certainly been better than the trainwreck it was three or four years ago. As far as competitiveness let's apply some realism and clarity here. Quite a bit of the competitiveness in 2025 came from the defensive side of the ball which gave up the most points in league history the year before and was one of the bottom 5 units in terms of salary cap allocation for 2025 while the OL was top 3. We had the 26th passing offense last year. And if not for a herculean couple of games from Rico Dowdle we don't back our way into the division title or make the playoffs because we went 4-6 in our final ten games including being swept by the Saints who were starting a rookie 2nd round pick most of us mercilessly mocked when they selected him. In conclusion yes we've seen a difference. The question now is will the investment pay off the way we want. But the only way that happens is if we field a top 15 offense. If we can't even crack the top 20 then there need to be some very warm seats across the board. And I would hope just about anyone here should agree with that.

      These Spurs are lowkey loaded.  If healthy, they could win it all this year (#2 in the West right now). I still think we’ve gotta keep Kalk on Wemby; he’s not getting completely dominated like every other NBA center.

      Am I the only one who doesn't understand this fan bases infatuation with adding a high end TE? Especially when we have some bigger bodies in T-Mac and Coker who can slide into the slot at times and provide the big dependable target over the middle that most teams use their TE for. I mean, sure, it would be nice to have one of those elite TE's, but I feel like that's a position your better off going cheap with a committee who each bring something different to the table while spending our cap room on the more important positions. I like the potential we saw from Evans this year, Sanders could be a best if he can stay healthy, and Tremble has improved as well.  Just feels like spending high draft picks or cap space on other needs and more important positions is a better use of our resources than splashing on a TE in the draft or FA. Are those guys on the level of the Bowers or McBride's of the world?  Of course not, but we also are paying a fraction of the cost on our TE room than they are, and we're able to use that money for other needs.
