Just kidding, were getting close on d. 

Still think we need another impact LB, a true three tech beside derrick and backup safeties behind burris and chinn. 

 

However on O we need a TE1, a RB2, LT1, a slot WR, a OG2, and a longterm replacement for Paradis. Also, we need a QB2, maybe QB1 if Darnold doesnt pan out.

I actually have high hopes for Arnold. I think he has the tools to be a solid weapon for us moving forward. WR3 maybe but we'll see. We didn't have one before last season even with the same guy on the roster the season's before so who knows? LT1 I would think yeah, OG2 I see more as a maybe. I'm not blowing off our newest OL just yet. Let's see how they fit in our system before judging. We did grab them quickly so maybe there's something there that we haven't seen yet because they've been used incorrectly? IDK. Let's see before deciding

Why do I feel like we draft 6 LB’s per year and have very little LB depth.  I think I have ROn Rivera PTSD.  

Lol, I feel ya there but we brought in 2 solid LBs in the off season. The one with ties to Rhule has the potential to be great. 12 sacks??!!! I know he's a tweener but that what we want. I think this defense is going to be super fast, creative and coming at the offenses in every which way. Getting a shutdown corner last night just opened the can of whoop ass on our opponents. 

We're playing mathball now. I know the movie was called moneyball but just because mathball doesn't sound cool but in reality that's what it is. We're projecting numbers. Those numbers equal results. X=4x5.7, Y=27:5.6. X+Y= Victory Folks! Doesn't matter how you get to the numbers, as long as you get to the numbers. We are becoming the Revenge of the Nerds.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
