Better than people realize...

Mostly true.  I would say O-line in general.  While LT is the glaring issue, LG and center are by no means solid.  Miller at RG is good enough, but really the only fixture is Moton.  I'm still baffled by the Elflein signing, at least the amount we gave him.  His contract keeps him here for at least two years unless we take a huge cap hit.  Linebacker is set unless we have an injury...it just lacks depth.

Ive said that all offseason.  We are going to be in contention for a wildcard spot this year.  I feel it

Me as well.  I've said 9-10 wins earlier on.  One of those games was a Joey Slye contingency, he was good for at least a loss.  I'm solid at 10 wins now.

Granted I am banking on A) Atlanta's defense being LOL funny  B)The saints/Jamesis tripping on their dick and to a lesser degree C)Tom Brady finally falling off a cliff

 

Starting off 3-0 heading into Dallas IMO is the key to the entire season

Eh, I'm mostly focusing on us, not he competition.  If the OL can hold up, Darnold can hold his own (not asking for Pro Bowl-type season out of him) and the team stays healthy...we can make some waves in the NFC regardless of how the rest of conference shakes out.

I hear you but thats 6 games we are playing and 2 of those teams are tittering on being a 4,5,6 wins so we need to capitalize.

Quick comment on the Panthers by Albert Breer in the latest MMQB...

One team I think is better than people realize: Carolina. If the Panthers can figure things out at linebacker and left tackle, I think you’ll see Matt Rhule’s program working in a weakened NFC South.

Who is weakened? Jameis in New Orleans should be better than New Orleans with Brees for the past two or three years. Tom Brady is still here, Atlanta is still very talented.

The entire NFC South is better than people thing. Small market problems. They think the Cowboys are super bowl contenders and that the Saints will fall off a cliff because they upgraded at quarterback...

    • I don't understand the tone, I gave you my ranking, that's it.  And yes, I still view Lawrence and Kyler are still ahead, in my opinion, which doesn't really mean much lol.  What's this have to do with being a fan ffs? I will say, they are at the end of the list/the more arguable/debatable guys.  So open to debate but it seems you're going straight to the "you're not a fan" debate.  Which is super annoying. Maybe I'd agree Bryce could be ~19-20 on the list if the argument was laid out instead.  His Atlanta game was better than anything they have done in recent memory, but he's had like 10 other games this season.   He is way more inconsistent in my view, due to a few factors... Shotty footwork - he has a shallow lazy step back from gun that puts an OL in an impossible place.  Goes on his toes wayyy to much more my liking. Poor upper body mechanics.  His upper body remains parallel to the LOS and has to perform that rapid twitch/turn motion to get in stance His shallow drops also create a lack of sight lines so he can't layer throws well He's had poor pocket presence - not last week, but it's been a thing   Pure traits standpoint Arm strength is mediocre Mobility is mediocre - can outrun at times but quicker IDLs can catch him Accuracy is a range due to his inconsistency - can be above average to very poor.  His career so far has been pretty bad with intermediates (which again was not the case against ATL) Ball Security Way too sensitive to fumbling Has exhibited very poor decision making, especially in first halves that put the team behind This all does NOT take away that he had a GREAT performance against ATL.  He was able to extend plays, found guys post-route in stride, the XL throw in Q3 was fantastic, a few of the Coker crossers were beauts.  There's no disputing that.   But yeah, in totality, it hasn't looked good but he absolutely cooked last week. Outside of that, he's only had 5 other 250 yard passing games in his entire career.  He stalls on drives, makes annoying turnovers, doesn't see the right guys.  It's okay to both say that and the fact that he balled tf out last week.  I hope he continues so we get better and maybe can make some noise.  Big test on Monday.  
    • Actually that part abuot the Bears is not my opnion. I was watching some show and they were talking about how lucky the Bears have been this year. That's the only reason I brought it up.
