I don't normally make threads, but with all the negativity out there I think it's time to bring in some perspective. Yeah there are moves this team has made that  many posters don't like. You may not have liked who we traded for, signed, got rid of, etc. There are some who are disgruntled because of the way the whole Watson situation ended up. In which case I can only say get over it.

However there is one thing you can not deny this staff in doing and that is their effort in trying to put together the best overall team they can. They've added players with potential, improved in areas, added depth. You might not have liked it, but at least they are trying. Unlike our previous regime who were dead set in their ways, kept around their favorite players, didn't start the best players on the field due to favoritism. Not only that, but our current staff actually makes changes to game planning and philosophy as well instead of sticking to the same old failed plan time and time again. 

So if you don't like the moves that have been made, at least look at the effort and how it is much better than what we had before.

Actually, the moves they have made are pretty impressive--these are unusual times.  The Darnold move may not pay off, but to get a developmental, 23 year old QB with NFL experience and not have to use your first rounder drafting a 21 year old developmental QB with NO NFL experience was brilliant.  Now we get the QB AND the LT.  The players we have signed on the bottom end are low risk, high reward players.  Erv and Elf on the OL, the biggest head scratchers to me, can play every position on the OL. 

So I will reserve judgement, but Marty's answer was to re-sign  what you know (he used to brag that 3 of his draft picks were the highest paid at their respective positions---because HE PAID THEM) and throw scrubs at some spots like RT, RG, DT, CB, etc. while he tried to figure it out.

I will take this---it seems like the second year of the three year turnaround.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
