Am I wrong in thinking MLB is our biggest weakness on defense?

Good god were we spoiled with Luke. We need a QB on the defense who can cover in the middle between the sticks. Whitehead is terrible and Shaq has never been able to cover anything in his career. Chinn is basically turning out to be what we had hoped Shaq would become when drafting him. We have been dropping Burns into coverage because our linebackers are such a liability. Only problem with that is Burns is also our best pass rushers and we aren't generating much pressure without him. Burns, Brown and YGM look like a very promising young d-line group. It really sucks thinking what could have been if Luke never retired.

Come draft time, If there isn't an elite QB or LT prospect available I would not be mad with a stud MLB. Just Look at what Devin White has done for Tampa's defense paired with Lavonte David. I know many of us hated the Luke pick originally but look how that turned out.

For what it's worth, I don't generally see a lack of effort on Whitehead's part.

Boston sometimes looks like he's making "business decisions".

I just think Boston is soft. He played like this back in college too.  Whitehead is just athletically limited. It's frustrating because I think Boston has the tools to be really good. Whitehead doesn't.

Boston has at least two horrible plays a week, Whiteheads mistakes often result in less yardage/scoring than Bostons. I still can't believe we extended him at what we did...  the guy still can't executed a basic tackle.

Watching him hold back while a guy caught an easy pass in front of him today about made me go through the roof.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.

      Let's be real. Signing Matt Kalil who was at the time inconsistent at best was always an extremely risky move and largely initiated by the fact he was related to one of our most prominent players Ryan Kalil. Memories get fuzzy the longer time passes I guess. Go watch some old Panthers games with Ted Ginn nearly losing us games. Then watch Cam Newton keep going back to him again and again and again. Then read all the Xavier Legette criticism while making excuses for Bryce being swept by rookie 2nd round pick Tyler Shough. Throwing TMac under the bus is just further proof how deranged the Bryce Young defense force has become. Bryce Young can barely compete in this gutter iteration of the NFC South. Let's see him take this WR core to the playoffs in an NFC South with Drew Brees and Matt Ryan
