Name something specific that would get you pumped for this season

Dude, that would make me feel the exact OPPOSITE. 

We would have to give up way too much to get him and we are not one franchise QB away from being a winning team. Not only would we give up future draft assets to acquire him, we would then have to allocate 50+ million to him, money that we don't have, and even if we did, it would involve cutting any decent players to support him.

This would be another short sighted move that screws the team in the long term. I would probably give up at that point.

Yep that's pretty much how we all feel. 

But you didn't actually answer the thread's main question.

What are YOU actually pumped for in this coming season?

Brian Burns

CMac

DJ Moore

Chinn

Horn

Etc...

This team is not nearly as bad as most of you guys want  to think it is.

If Rhule becomes a delegator and on field team builder. He allows his coaches and players to dictate the play and culture while he simply guides it. Hitting on 6 leaders in the draft and free agency that all align with a championship culture.

That would excite me and give me some hope. Doubt it happens. He has his hands in too much, has an ego that competes with his players, and keeps pushing a culture of self-deprication.

The team is already screwed long term because the rebuild was suppose to happen 3 years ago, so who really cares.

Burns is a very good young pass rusher but we are waiting to see if he will get to the next level ie consistently dominant.

CMC can't stay on the field. Nothing else in this conversation matters until that happens.

DJ Moore is a stud but also like any player has some things he can fine tune.

Chinn is a stud who this staff for some reason saw fit to switch positions.

Horn is promising but three games is not enough of a story to tell yet.

All in all you would see more positivity if the braintrust of this franchise had begun investing in this offensive line from jump street. But instead we just picked up where Rivera and previous staffs left off when we overinvested in defense while the oline declined even more which was an issue for years with the best quarterback this franchise has seen. THAT is the biggest contributor right now to the fan fatigue you are seeing. Bumbling our way from one bad QB to another is the cherry on top. Invest in the offense go big or go home. Until then fans don't want to hear it. Plain and simple.

Lmao it’s really bad u just can’t admit it. Burns misses a lot of sacks and runs by the play a bunch shouldn’t have been a pro bowler imo, CMAC who’s that, someone that’s played 6 games in like 2 years, DJ isn’t a number 1 wr, Chinn is being used wrong by this staff, Horn we don’t know what we have and should’ve been a different pick at the time, etc well there’s not really an etc. just keep being in denial but it’s true this team isn’t that good.

Call me an optimist, but if we make meaningful additions to the OL, then that would get me to look forward to the season. Obviously, we're not gonna do a whole lot with Rhule and Darnold here but if we can end this season with Rhule gone, and get a QB next offseason then hopefully we'll be on the right track. But I understand everyone's pessimism at the current moment.

    • Even if he beats the odds, returns midseason  and plays like he did last year it won’t warrant a big contract extension. 
    • It’ll be interesting to see how the board falls I completely agree with you on TE for us The safety from Oregon would be the cherry on top for Evero’s defense/scheme.  If a OL’men is there that you love it would be very hard to pass up. This fan base seems to just see Walker as a stop gap but I wouldn’t be so sure. He’s the same age as Ekwonu. He’s had a much more impressive career arc/progression than Icky has. He’s the better pass protector. As far as I see it if Walker has a good year I’d bring him back over Icky. Ekwonu isn’t some elite franchise LT. Playing next to Lewis is going to be great for Walker much like it has been for Icky. We definitely need to get younger/cheaper on the OL though so for this reason alone it’s still top of my list come round 1 if board falls this way  Could also use another corner with Mike Jackson’s deal up after this season and needing a nickel but Corey Thornton looked really good in that role in the limited time we got to see him. However he’s coming off an achillies injury and you never know with those.  Then as mentioned above we do still have a need at WR. As far as “weapons” go it’s kind of a 2 man show with Tmac and Coker and neither is a burner. If Jordan Tyson is there at 19 and we can have a young WR group locked up for cheap that’s a huge advantage cap wise  And don’t forget linebacker. That clip in Devin’s Lloyd blueprint they used from Evero saying they need more intelligence there could’ve been left out for Wallace’s sake but it’s true. Wallace is lost in coverage. Pair a smart linebacker with Lloyd and that’s a group with Wallace and Cherelus being depth
