NO hung with Tampa till they got into that fight and lost their best CB. We are no were near the talent of TB. We're going to get throttled by NO and their defense. 

This is what I think

and, if they didn’t stop Jones, they will have fits with hill and always have 

when you don’t have LBs and can’t hold sn edge, well

Lol remember... was it last year or the year before where they literally had no receivers?  They had to promote multiple guys off the PS and people here were all giddy going in thinking that was an automatic dub and they came out and whooped our ass like they just lined up three prime Colstons.  That poo never matters.  They're still gonna whoop our ass.  Difference is, I want them to this time...  put the nail in the Rhule coffin.

fug that. All aboard the tank train. Why win 4 games and get fuged out of a top 5 pick? Hell we need number 1 for the new coaching staff. 

most of this team and staff are utter trash and while I don’t think they’ll win even trying I don’t want any dumbass moral wins vs injured players and/or their back ups

you ‘never tank!’ crowd had your super bowl vs the Saints third stringers several years ago that fuged us out of a top pick and been ass ever since, go watch those reruns and celebrate

It’s time to let us have the proper tank and actually look forward to at the very least hope of a future

Barkley still managed to hammer us when it counted the most.

We pretty well sold out to stop the run. Guessing we probably didn't think Jones could beat us passing, but he did.

Disagree.

Any time you defense gives up 19 points, you gotta expect your offense to keep you above water.  At 19 points per game, our defense would have ranked fourth in scoring defense last year.  I don't hold much to yardage defense, but scoring defense is a stat that matter.

Likewise, on offense, scoring fewer than 19 points would have made you one of the bottom 7 teams in the league.

I feel like our defense did fine, and our offense crapped the bed.

Not when we needed to hold them and get the ball back.

I wouldn't go that far. Daniel Jones averaged 5.2 yards per attempt on 34 passes; that's bad by any metric. Barkley averaged 3.4 yards per carry; his longest carry was 16 yards and a player like him running 21 times and expecting him to not have a single decent run is not realistic. We gave up 19 points despite turning it over twice in our own territory. Hard to be too critical of the defense here.

    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
