One position group you’re confident about… one group you’re terrified about

Confident: Defensive Line, has the makings to being possibly one of the best in the league and studded with first round talent. Big Baby Brown is going to bring pressure and command double teams, Burns/Reddick will be double digit sack guys

 

Terrified: LB, this unit looks like a mess. With Sewell off the board I wanted Parsons. Carolina has been the closest thing to Linebacker U with studs like Greene, Mills, Morgan, Witherspoon, Davis, Beason, Kuechly. 
 

right now our best LB and most expensive defender is a rich mans version of James Anderson

Confident: Darnold and the Oline.  Mostly because I know choosing that will trigger people.

Terrified:  CB's and Safeties, Horn in particular.  I think our expectations are little high for a rookie corner.  I think he'll do well but  this first year is going to be rough.

Concerned about oline specifically LT and LG. As mentioned also LB but I hope the d-line and secondary are strong enough to “hide” some of the LB issues. In 2020, when Whitehead was benched for Carter the LB play  was “adequate” so hoping for at least the same this year. Also concerned about PK-Slye. 

confident in WR, TE, secondary and D-line.

Confident: non-QB offensive skill positions

Terrified: OL

 

That's more or less where I am.  I am pretty confident in the DL, too.  I'm originally from Missouri, so the OL needs to "show me" before I will accept the idea they have improved enough.

You feeling good about the TE situation? We should be set at RB and WR for a few years still. 

Honestly, yeah. There's been enough positive reports about Arnold and Tremble that I feel pretty good about TE. Are they gonna re-create prime Greg Olsen? Highly doubtful but I think we're decent there. It's the weakest link of our non-QB skill positions, but IMO that's more about our strength at WR and RB than it is a glaring weakness at TE.

It’s hard to be confident in the WRs when we have no idea what we’ll get from the QBs. DL is gonna eat tho 

I'm confident that our WRs are very good. If they're held back by the QB and/or OL, that's not on them. All they can do is run their routs and catch the balls that come their direction and I'm confident in them doing a good job of that.

I’m trying to let my hype not build too soon for the TEs yet but I’ve been happy with what I’ve read.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
