I can't see him without seeing Jimmy Clausen. I know he's already better than teh Jimmy but he reminds me so much of him cosmetically. 

Is he, really? He almost certainly will be (it's hard to be that bad) but not so far.

He probably wont get that kind of beating every week. We really got to Wilson. I thought he did really well against us all things considered.

With no tape on him, imagine if we could have actually game-planned a bit and if the offense hadn't stalled out to make it a closer game than what it was.

I said in another thread that if we played them week 3 we would win 40-0. We left so many opportunities on the field. 3 would be touchdowns at least. Should have been 30-0 at the half. 

Same for Saints. If Darnold doesn't throw that pick we shut them out, I have no doubt in that. 

Not living in the past, I'm just saying we are gonna be a problem if we clean those issues up. Like "we will be contenders" problem.

I agree with you, but I'm not ready to say ''contenders'' just yet, the Dallas game should be a good measuring stick. 

Saints put up TD's on short fields versus GB but not yards. I will say I was surprised to see how well we got after Jameis, but being able to play man and pressure is a far cry from the soft zone, and 7 to 10 yard cushions we lived in for a decade under Rivera.

I'm saying if we clean up our play we are contenders. I have no problem saying that. NFC West is tough, but this defense is unmatched if it keeps up the same production. We have left a lot of points on the field. If we can start executing better it is playoff time. But I do agree. The Cowboys have a very nice passing attack. I am ready and hopeful for that game. If we shut their offense down, we are a playoff team with no question in my opinion.

TBH, and I'm sure it wasn't that hit that caused the groin injury, but I was honestly surprised he got up from the Derrick Brown sack.  I was sure he broke some ribs and may have been concussed.

Exactly. If he could take that hit and not get injured, I’d say durability isn’t a concern yet.

    • CeeDee Lamb got hurt in week 3. The Cowboys were rolling without him. Not sure what you meant by this. Our defense was the 1st to slow the Cowboys down some. Statistically before the game the Cowboys were ranked in the top 3 of the league.
    • 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.
    • 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.
