Recommended Posts

As of 8/31/2021 at 7:35 p.m., we are fourth youngest team in the league.

  • Jets 25.1
  • Lions 25.2
  • Browns 25.3
  • Panthers 25.3 
  • Jaguars 25.5 

These young guys would be used to Rhule's college ways. It might be helping with Rhule's transition to be so young.

Definitely not good company to be in, or something we should be excited about.

While we certainly needed to trim the fat, it's sad to say but it looks like the team was mostly fat.  Hopefully we've drafted well and can start retaining our talent at reasonable rates.  That will help.

That list isn't exactly prestigious company. Some serious playoffs droughts in there. Let's hope some leaders stand out for us this season.

Browns at 3, Rams at 6 and Indy at 8 are the only playoff teams in the top 10. Tampa at 30, and KCC at 23.

I think with a new owner, new GM and a second-year coach who are driven to get rid of every player they didn't draft/didn't coach at Temple or Baylor, there's naturally going to be a lot of turnover. It's a smart ploy by any coach: keep fielding a college team every year and when you don't win, just call it a rebuild.

They're proof that picking top-5 enough, and landing good players doing so, can turn you around. Thinking we're next in line to try that.

Agree - but only once Baker Mayfield turned things around.  Let's hope Darnold can do the same.

Myles Garrett hasn't been so bad when he keeps his helmet on. I'd definitely be more optimistic about our chances of turning things around if I weren't so convinced the coach is more interested in serving as the Temple Owls' job bank.

It takes time for our rookie core to become seasoned vets. We really have not completed building the core either. There's 2 obvious positions still to sort out, being LT and QB. One could include  MLB in there also.  But it's looking better with every draft.  Having to start all those rookies speak to how awful the roster was when Rhule got here.  If they can pull off two more like it I like our odds of dominating the nfc south.

Yep. We got sold a long rebuild and it is likely to be that. Still a long way to go.

    • Read the first line of my post---then read your response.  A few points---I acknowledge that I have not seen the players on the field yet, something you seem to point out in order to attack my opinion--that is what I call going full  Richard Cranium.  I state that he did not get bullied (trade values don't need performance criteria--they make trades without knowing the performance in the draft--should not have to explain that to you).   He did not get bullied like the trade up last year.  He got us a second rounder back.  How is that like Fitterer last year?  I'll wait for you to answer, but I do not think you will--effectively using things called "facts"  
    • Seems like a legit HC candidate could wind up in Charlotte.  Lakers and Wizards also need a coach, but there are some big names floating out there. Darvin Ham, Buddenholzer, JJ Reddick, Kenny Atkinson, Jerry Stackhouse… Who ya like to *develop* this young team?
    • While I think it'd be silly for anyone to argue that Mahomes wouldn't have done any better here (and is obviously leagues above Bryce), it's worth mentioning...I watched the Raiders/Chiefs game late last year and man did Mahomes and that offense look like absolute trash in a game where Mahomes was continuously running for his life behind an o-line that couldn't block for poo, while trying to throw to receivers getting zero separation, and getting zero help from his run game.  You know, the norm for Bryce every week.  It really did look like I was watching a Panthers game.  That was a game against Aidan O'Connell with a final stat line of 9/21 for 62 yards 0 TDs and yet Mahomes and the Chiefs managed 7 total points up until 2 minutes left in the 4th quarter in arguably garbage time.
