Earlier in the season, I remember saying "well at least we're good enough to beat bad teams".

Turns out we weren't.

We've lost like 5-6 games to really bad teams. We'd be entrenched in the playoffs if this were true, even if we weren't a real contender and couldn't beat good teams. Such a waste of a season

It's not just that we're bad, or that the teams we beat were that bad. It's the lies that it created along the way. That #2 defense rating? We give up very little passing yardage, because either your team is terrible and can't protect their QB, or you have a good team and you just run right over us in the rushing game. Not building up many yards against us? Hard to when we give you an average starting spot around your 43 yard line. 

The wins that made Sam Darnold look great also made our defense look like the best since the '85 Bears. 

This year, we beat the wounded and the witless, sometimes the wounded witless when we got lucky. This team was worse than last years and much worse than the year before's, we just got a very favorable schedule when it came to playing some teams that were just falling apart. Had we just faced the Jags and the Lions, we'd be deep in the playoff hunt right now.

And that's some crazy poo right there.

      Every Big-Time Throw from Bryce Young and CJ Stroud in 2023

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I interpreted your original reply as the team could have success if the new players and coaches were really good, AND they created an offense that didn't count on the QB being a primary contributor. Because you think Bryce won't be able to hold up his end. I think you confirm that above. My only point is that I don't see how anyone can say definitively what Bryce Young will be in the league yet, based on his supporting cast from last season. And it seems those that have already decided that Bryce Young is a bust, likely just didn't like him as the pick in the first place. A little context for me... lots of folk here didn't like Cam while he was a Panther either. It had very little to do with him as a talent. And just for the record, I really am not invested in Bryce Young. I didn't want the team to move up for a QB at all in 2023. I thought 2024 would be the year to go for a QB. But when they did, I ordered the QBs as Anthony Richardson, then CJ, then Bryce. The disfunction from the front office, to the playcalling, to the scheme, to the oline and the receivers was just not a good situation. Horrible actually. Asking a rookie to perform with all that adversity is just not realistic to me, at any position let alone QB. So to me, the verdict is still out. I don't know if he can be the guy because the situation he was in last year was set up to fail from the start. In preseason, as soon as I saw the oline couldn't figure out how to even slow down the Jets' pass rush (particularly stunts) and the receivers were locked up like Fort Knox, I knew we were in for a long season.

      Does the Canales era have a new vibe?

      I bet one would. But I hear you and hope he can control himself.

      It's a different vibe for sure. He sounds like he knows what he's talking about and his general plan---that which he tells the world---sounds like a working plan. Reich didn't seem to have a plan, and Rhule's plan was ill-suited for grown men. Reich coached like a zombie---just dead and uninspiring. Rhule thought that he could take his college guys and dominate in the pros, smiled in guys faces and threw them under the bus. His brand of motivation has plays running to a DBO sign. Canales seems to be schooled in motivation, but also believes the stuff he is selling down to his core. We'll see if it holds up.
