QB's will be overdrafted anyway. I hope we can land a top shelf OT or IOL. That is our big need.

if brady can lock down this right tackle spot for the year im drafting the iowa center and signing a quality FA guard. our line could be night and day next season. center is the biggest need on the line imo

Yup.  The Liberty kid and Carson Strong are the ones that I see really excelling in the college ranks.  Strong is a bit like the QBs we've pursued w/Rhule but we may not need to take a gander with Sam really showing well.  Here's to it hopefully continuing well.

I think the only lack of need on the OL is RT(Moton).

We need to focus on improving the line with a push to make it dominant by 2024ish. Make no mistake, that unit will need multiple offseasons to get vastly better.

Trubisky is way bigger and probably more athletic and has a stronger arm

 

Howell is more accurate and has a much much better deep ball. 

 

Not really seeing the comparison. 

Well Trubisky was a VASTLY more accurate college passer than Howell has been.

Howell‘s best season of accuracy is basically Trubisky's career average.

i think it would be fooish to spend high draft picks on olineman for the next 3 years when we have a bunch of second contracts coming up at extremely important positions. today is a big deal for Brady, even though i know he will hit rough patches im hoping he looks decent enough to continue to start and move Moton to the left permanently.

It isn't foolish, it's smart. Quality OL are rarer and rarer, hence why we have been able to trade for two great CB's but can't get a single team to bite on even a backup OL(according to our GM).

OL is the single and sole focus of the next offseason. Even over QB, which is clearly a weak point too.

I haven't seen many OL's worse than this in the NFL, much less in franchise history.

I know but 3 drafts for top oline picks? There will be a lot of reactionary posts in this thread after today’s game. But 3 drafts for top oline is excessive to me.

I am not saying to ignore other needs or BPA but how in the world you don't go heavy OL in 2022+ is beyond me. fug me running...how is this not the most obvious and most critical need? There is literally nothing to build on in the two deep other than Moton. Nothing.

Oh I’m not saying we don’t draft olineman but 3 straight drafts of first/second round picks? Naw. I said already I’d lock in on the Iowa center this upcoming draft and go from there.

we also need a qb tho lmao

I think you have to take at least 7-8 OL in the next 3 drafts. Sounds crazy but I mean it. There isn't a single member of our roster on that unit worth keeping other than Moton. Not one. That is a hell of a rebuild.

QB....I think Darnold is a better bridge QB than Teddy was. Let him play out his deal and maybe try and get him back for a short term cheap deal while you target your next QB.

    • Are you guys trying to say that the Cam ‘haters’  exactly mirror the Darnold ‘lovers”? Same people?  I don’t think that is it at all. I think it is more likely to be different people, probably with some overlap. This racism thing, when most of the team and league is Black and people are big fans of plenty of Black players, but have football issues with one or two and that makes them a racist? I don’t understand that at all.   I will tell you also, Sam Darnold at the price he would have cost, and all that cost invested in other areas plus we’d have DJ Moore, was a far better option than what they did.   
    • More of the same, but with actual statistics thrown in with the film review. It's a long one He puts blame on the offense and coaches as well, but doesn't sound too high on Bryce's ceiling. Lots of words but here's the basic summary Young’s lack of arm strength and size creates little room for error in his play. If he takes one extra hitch or is a hair late getting rid of the football, defenders often make plays on the ball or squeeze windows even tighter. The issue is that Young constantly needs to take an extra hitch to get enough zip on the ball when throwing to the outside and he often needs to work backward in the pocket to see that target. What does this all mean for Young going forward? Well, let’s just say it’s not exactly a rosy start to his professional career. It’s a rough statistical profile and his play wasn’t overwhelming when I studied him. Yes, former No. 1 picks like Goff and Trevor Lawrence have overcome their horrid rookie years to become viable quarterbacks, but those are the exceptions to the rule, and Lawrence showed more glimpses of high-end play during his rookie year during the Urban Meyer experience than Young did under Reich and the rest of the Panthers' funky bunch coaches. This is not to say that Young is a bust already, either. His accuracy and intelligence still translate to every offense and still give him a floor as a viable starter, and better teammates, like the newly acquired Diontae Johnson and explosive rookie wideout Xavier Legette, should help highlight those traits even more. But, you take a player No. 1 overall to move the needle, not to just get the job done. Young has a path to be a quarterback who can keep an offense on time with some ad-libbing ability to add creativity and spice to an offense (Alex Smith, another quarterback with a rough rookie season, is a play style and career comparison I keep coming back to for Young). But to justify that 1.1 selection, Young (and Canales) have to push it even more in 2024 and beyond. https://sports.yahoo.com/bryce-youngs-hopes-for-a-bounce-back-season-with-panthers-comes-down-to-more-than-just-his-supporting-cast-140010168.html
    • Definitely in the running. I’d probably go Oakland. Lost football, seriously crappy baseball team. They have Golden State Warriors I guess.
