Great addition. With the way the OL is shaping up and with the defense also being strengthened even Darnold could carry this team to enough wins to see them pick outside the top 10. If they’re strengthening this much in free agency the idea of tanking to get a QB in 2023 just isn’t going to happen. It’s probably a certainty they now try and bring in another QB via a trade.

I agreed with 100% until the last line. I see this as a signal that we're drafting a QB at 6. Especially if they're going for Armstead too.

Nahh, olineman very hard to judge 

1 year is excellent, what was stupid is the two year trash olineman last year

if he performs, pay him when we actually have the cash and it won’t prevent more signings 

these structures/length are just as import to me and they have been excellent, I’m tired of getting stuck with trash on contracts like Paradis for example

Fitterer scared me last year.  His first signing was Sullivan, a tweener TE WR from Seattle, then he signed Erv and Elf--on day 1 of the tampering period--to multi-year contracts--when both had underperformed at other places.  This guy, however, was solid at both G for 2 years and C last year--so he should not be hard to judge.  There is film of him blocking for Lamar Jackson and the Ravens.  But either way, he will earn the next contract, and it will be more expensive.  I see your point, however.  And in my view, Erving and Elflein should have been given 1-year deals, not Bozeman, but we shall see.

This is starting to feel like the best FA period we have ever had.  My God this is amazing.

Also, Elflein, go sit your ass down somewhere. 

Elflein will move to MLB or CB - he's got one of the fastest backpedals on the team.

Hmm I never really thought about it that way, but it makes sense.

I might end up reviving my old "Big Ugly" signature once the lineup is set 🤔

I'm sitting here in dismay by the two FA signings honestly.  Shocked really. Not sure if I should be optimistic that they may have figured it out or depressed that i may have missed judged the value of these two particular FA's.

    • I don't need that many words to say Bryce Young has not yet surpassed the caliber of QB play that current Joe Flacco represents.   I have watched every game Bryce has played.  He doesn't give you average QB play.   He can't make a ton of throws.  Bryce is consistent overall in what he is.  You can take outlier games on both ends of the spectrum out of play and judge him or any QB.....for Bryce it is unquestioned bottom of the league play.  All you have to do is watch the two play.  Flacco is good enough that if you can keep up right and give him time.....he presents a level of play Bryce can't do as a passer  
    • Not sure.  Which ones have more GWDs in the same time frame?
    • You kinda gloss over this, but this is really at the crux of this whole argument....which Flacco are we talking here?  You bring up that he played with 3 different teams but ignore the fact that his performance varied quite a bit from team to team. 2024 Colts: 65.3% completion, 12 TDs, 7 INTs, 220.1 YPG, 7.1 Y/A, 90.5 rating 2025 Browns: 58.1% completion, 2 TDs, 6 INTs, 203.8 YPG, 5.1 Y/A, 60.3 rating 2025 Bengals: 63.4% completion, 12 TDs, 3 INTs, 290.6 YPG, 6.8 Y/A, 96.2 rating 2025 Flacco (Browns + Bengals): 61.1% completion, 14 TDs, 9 INTs, 252.0 YPG, 6.1 Y/A, 80.8 rating vs. 2025 Bryce: 62.7% completion, 14 TDs, 7 INTs, 196.2 YPG, 6.2 Y/A, 86.0 rating I bolded the comparison that I think objectively makes the most sense...just simply comparing the two QBs for the entire season.  Otherwise you'd be cherry-picking Flacco's time with the Bengals and ignoring his earlier stint with the Browns, which sounds an awful lot like people cherry-picking Bryce's stats in the second half of last season. So again, which Flacco?  Basically the only thing consistent with Flacco across each of these teams was his W/L records: 2-4, 1-3, and 1-4 respectively.  I'd say if we're comparing each version of him to Bryce this year: Colts Flacco > 2025 Bryce, Browns Flacco <<< 2025 Bryce, Bengals Flacco >> 2025 Bryce, and 2025 Flacco < 2025 Bryce - Flacco this year only beats out Bryce on YPG but in part because he throws significantly more passes (almost 60 YPG more than Bryce, despite a lower Y/A which is pretty telling) .  Flacco is maybe the most apt case study about how important a QB's circumstances are to his success.  He was easily a bottom 3 QB in Cleveland and arguably top 10-15 in Cincinnati...and we're talking about the same player from the same season.  All that happened was taking him from one team and plopping him onto another team; nothing inherently changed about him as a QB.  Funny enough I think that's all that one dude on here was trying to say when he made that long poorly-received post after having an epiphany working for PFF behind the scenes or w/e.  That it's largely short-sighted to just try to evaluate QBs in a vacuum when there are so many variables at play that ultimately decide whether a QB is successful or not.   I think Bryce has been mediocre at best this season and I'm ready to move on regardless of how he ends this season - I'm highly skeptical a strong end to the season will carry over into next year considering how last year ended and this year began.  I would certainly agree that he's a bottom-third QB this year.  I just don't understand you scoffing indignantly at anyone holding the opinion that Bryce has had a better season than Flacco...I can only assume it's recency bias.  Or maybe you know the stats don't support you, which is why you're conjuring up the god-forsaken arbitrary "eyeball test" which is the kinda thing people in here were saying about Fields for years, pinky promising that he really truly was a franchise QB despite his awful stats.  Perhaps it's called the eyeball test because I roll my eyes anytime I hear someone bring it up seriously as an argument.
