Its been 3 years for us and 13 for the Browns since your memory is so poor.

Umm, it’s been 0 years for the Browns Mr. Technicality. Unless you think the run centric Titans will come back from the 31 point deficit today. Keep trying to correct all the nits and adding little.

I very seriously doubt we can catch the Jags in the draft standings, but good to see them leading by two scores at half.

I'm of the opposite opinion because I hate seeing an inferior team beat someone who beat us.

Granted, in the grand scheme of things it doesn't really matter, but it's annoying.

Against the team we couldn’t beat last week. SMH. It would take a miracle to catch them, but a win today would help. They have a better SOS so we’d actually win the tiebreaker. Maybe they can beat Chicago and Indy will rest their starters week 17. Pipe dream but a win today makes it possible.

For all the people who pointed to the Dolphins as a model for how to successfully pull off a “tank” job...I bet they’re kicking themselves over taking Tua instead of Herbert.

Also, Darren Waller may single-handedly win me my Fantasy game this week. Dude is a monster...a playmaking TE would be a huge boon in our offense, particularly the red zone.

They seemed in love with Tua more than a year out.

His lack of athleticism  / arm strength always had me wary about him.

Play roulette then. You can't settle for nearly guaranteed mediocrity. Gamble to be great.

It's why we should've never considered giving Teddy $20M+.

Hindsight is a beautiful thing, isn't it? Let's us puff our chests and convey our superior knowledge as long as we ignore all the times we were wrong. 

Is it possible to think the team decided that Teddy, when finally healthy, led the Saints team to a 5-0 record, would be inheriting some of the best offensive weapons in his career and with an offensive "savant" in Joe Brady, might turn into a pro bowl caliber qb? And with the way the contract was designed, worst case he becomes a competent bridge for a 2021 rookie to learn behind? Is that anymore of an unreasonable gamble then going full on tank, only to get out tanked by the Jets and Jags and end up with the 3rd qb anyway? Cause pretty sure that would definitely have been a possibility with Kyle Allen or PJ Walker.

Look we all get it. Teddy didn't become the franchise level qb we could have hoped for. And if we take Wilson or Trask and they become the next Sam Darnold or Johnny Manziel, while Parsons is there and becomes an 8 time 1st team all pro MLB I'll be equally disappointed but I'd understand that it was a gamble to make the team better that didn't work out.

It's not hindsight for me. I said it from the get go about Teddy.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      Smith-Wade for me. He has the path to some decent hefty snaps in Evero’s scheme. He held his own last year and improved as he continued to get snaps— If he makes some strides, could be a very capable nickel.  I agree with Sanders. Bryce had some trust in him that final Falcons game post crazy head-stand.  Bryce looked for him a lot that final game and made some critical catches to get us the W. Seems he’s put in major work so I’m hopeful about him.  Wallace will have an offseason under his belt. I like him a lot, was higher graded than most remember in his draft (I.e Brugler had him LB3/70 overall) but he isn’t as cerebral of an LB as we’re used to. I think he could thrive if we get D captain/film-junky type next to him— because right now that’s Jewell.  Still a bit cautious but love the talent. Rozeboom may snag some playing time from him if he’s still working out the kinks.

      Panthers Preseason

      Didnt Canales already say starters are playing in the pre season? either way extra reps dont hurt but im not one of those people that think playing in the pre season would have saved Bryce from an awful start.

      very helpful.  I read back in this thread where they might try Jarvis at C--I thought he and Aho had good chemistry, however.  Nonetheless, he could expand his value there, and now we have a guy who can play jarvis' spot.  Freddie is a pro, no doubt--and as little as I know about the inner workings of strategy and positions, I could tell Burns was burning us at times.  I figured he'd retire and I was looking forward to it.  FWIW, they have Jarvis listed as a C on the 2025-26 roster.
