We’re going all in on Trevor Lawrence. I don’t even want to hear about Justin Fields’ name. It’s Trevor or bust. But, this franchise has proven in the past that they do not know how to tank properly. Rhule and Brady must have not like Tua enough or believe that he can be fully healthy again to not trade up to #4. Green Bay took Aaron Rodgers while they still had Favre. Last night, they “traded” up and took Jordan Love in the “1st round” to be Rodgers replacement knowing that they have bigger needs elsewhere.

I thought you guaranteed we were going to trade up for Tua. :poo:

Why is traded and first round in quotes?

We are much more competitive this year than people give us credit for. Treavor would be like a dream. This team is better than it was last season though. Significantly.

On offense we had Allen starting most of the year. Teddy is a huge upgrade. DJ and Curtis have another tear under their belt and Anderson is a legit #2. CMC is still getting better. Our Oline will have the chance to come into the season healthy and hopefully this year they can stay that way. Our play calling and scheming will be miles ahead of where it was last year.

On defense we had a banged up DLine that has already improved massively with Brown and a retuning KK. Losing Bradberry hurt but we will likely replace him today. It won’t be an upgrade but I’m a deep draft class, we should be able to find a solid starter for us going forward. We cannot ever replace Luke but if you have to lose a GOAT, LB is one of the easier positions to lose one at.

Ohr play calling and motivation was trash last year. I genuinely believe we will be more competitive this year than last year. I was on board for tanking for Treavor but that is just simply not at all what we are planning on doing.

What are all you tankers going to do if we play well this season - if Teddy and the offense are really effective?

He's young and mentally tough, having come back from a horrid injury. He's familiar with the system we are going to run. We've got weapons on that side of the ball.

All I want is to win. Waiving the white flag for a hypothetically successful NFL player is absurd to me.

Brown makes us much better as a team, shoring up the most desperate need. That's why we picked him. He's an *elite* prospect at an incredibly important position where we also happened to be in need.

If we were truly trying to get the #1 next year we would have been forced to trade CMC.  With him in our offense, we simply won't be capable of losing enough games to get to #1.  We're going to win 4-8 games next year.  I'm not convinced Tampa will be able to protect an aging Brady who had clearly lost a step last year.  I'm never sold on the Falcons being anything, I mean, they find a way to throw away even the most favorable position.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      Who is going to take a shot at Malik Willis

      By cranky · Posted

      So Willis had a good game against a poor defense and all of a sudden he is worth 50 million and is guaranteed to be better than Young. LOL I know he looked good in the 3 games he started, and I think he will have success long term, but anyone signing him up for a long term contract for 50 million is taking a huge risk.

      Is he really though? Rivera was past his prime and probably shouldn't have even started 2019 so his firing wasn't really unexpected or unwarranted. Rhule lasted two and a half years which was about one year too long in my opinion. Bringing him back that third year certainly wasn't impulsive and I would say Tepper was more patient than he should have been. Wilks finished out that third season and did pretty good but most everyone could see he really wasn't anything more than an intern HC. Bringing him back was not the long term answer so not bringing him back was the correct call. Hiring Reich was a mistake from the beginning and he recognized that fairly quickly. I am sure he knew he was going to catch a lot of sh*t for firing him so quickly ( and boy did he ) but it was absolutely the right thing to do given everything that was going on. The firing may have looked impulsive, but I think it was him recognizing he had royally f*ck up and just dealt with it instead of letting it fester.  That brings us to Canales. 2025 was only his second season and yet he delivered 8 wins and the NFC South title. And while that might not sound great, given the lack of talent and cap space they started with, it's a strong step in the right direction. I couldn't imagine Tepper not being pleased with their progress given the crap the Panthers' have been though under his ownership.
