Both have dropped off from last season. But Staal is still putting in the work. Vinny is just not getting to the net.

He just hasn’t been the same since that leg thing at the end of last season. We aren’t having him sit on the goal(his specialty), he’s too busy chasing chip in and doing board play. We gotta have him on the net like you say but is he willing is the question.

Yeah, he’s a small guy, not sure why he’s trying to be Jordan Staal with more scoring touch.

If anything Vinny tried to pull up.

Ya, it was a no penalty. His arm coming out on the numbers maybe makes it a 2 minute. I hate to see Rod being neutered by the refs too when he actually tries to get an answer from them. Tom needs to pull his weight on the governors board.

    • I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.  
    • Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.  
    • The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
