Best case scenario is 10-7. Worse case is 7-10.  The factors to me are injury and health. If we stay relatively healthy, Darnold doesn't get hurt, the rookies like Horn don't hit the rookie wall and we don't cave late due to a tough schedule we should win 10 games.  If we get hit hard with injuries and our young guys don't grow up fast we could end up on a losing streak like last year.  Guys like CMC and Darnold are crucial to our success as their backups are big drop offs in talent. In other positions the next guy up will have to play inspired. We will need some winning this year to convince players the process is good and Rhule knows what he is talking about.

Switch the numbers around to 9 to 7 and finish the year with a SB win like Giants did against Patriots. This is not going to happen but sometimes even a dream can become a reality

Wait...I think CRA said 7 to 9 wins.   Not the record being 7-9.

Am i right, @CRA?

Yeah, 7 to 9 wins is my window.   Ball bounces our way a little then we get to 9.  It doesn’t, I think the floor with some adversity is about 7. 
 

Too much talent not to get to 7.  OL too weak IMO to get much further than 9.

I'm bucking the trend here...  I'm going 10 wins minimum.

The offense will struggle, but find it's footing.  I don't expect Darnold to be an all-pro, but if he finds a rhythm and comfortability, which he absolutely will to some degree compared to what happened in NY, he will be solid.  Once he gets comfortable, the supporting cast are gonna do really well and I expect Robby to either match last year's production or surpass it, and I expect DJ to smash last year's production.  CMC will be back to business as usual and push for OPOY.

All while the offense is finding their rhythm, the defense will come out as real slobber knockers from day 1.  They won't truly get primed until a few weeks in, but they will be the best defensive unit we have fielded in years, and in many early games, they will carry our team to wins as the offense sputters a bit until they get in their groove.

Sounds good to me. 🙂

Good take, but I think the OL is going to be better than the concensus...  especially if Brown, Daley, and Christensen get in early.  I'm hoping Miller's absence gets that ball rolling the first couple of weeks with Daley stepping in.

My window is glass, I see through it to your soul and you are WRONG.  Either 11 wins or 6.  No in between.

And a possible Jameson Morgan appearance week 16-17.

or we have a most interesting record of 8-8-1

      We have seen Bryce get outplayed by all manner of QBs, from UDFAs to second round picks.  If we actually scouted any QBs it would not be a difficult task to upgrade from Bryce, you guys act like he is even decent. He is one of the worst starters league wide stop making excuses.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
