Shenault

As I was breathing a sigh of relief, that we had actually won a game that our offense didn’t show up to! I asked myself, where was Shenault the first 3 quarters? This staff is still full of question marks. It’s like he had a good kick return and they realized, hey, maybe we could try this guy at receiver since we’ve sucked all day!

He’s a gadget player and they called play for him which prob caught the saints off guard. I doubt he a gonna be a world beater on a weekly basis.  

It was actually a good call by the staff for once.  No need to reverse engineer this to discredit them.  They make enough mistakes on their own.

He probably didn’t have many plays that they repped with him. I believe I saw he was in for about 5 plays. Impact on two of them. One of them was specifically drWn up for him, and his TD play he was the check down receiver. 
 

it isn’t like madden, where you sub him in and he is on every play. He joined the team a month ago.

Thank you, seem like people don't understand that.

That’s basically what Rhule said in the PC, even on the TD, he wasn’t Baker’s first read per Rhule.

Actually according to Rhule's Presser, we had a play designed for him earlier in the game and they took him away, and then the play he scored on wasn't even designed for him, or at least he wasn't the primary...  they took away the primary so Baker checked it down to Laviska, and he did all the heavy lifting from there.

But as I said in the game thread, the plays he made today came off simple routes and duties that he could've done week 1 with little to no familiarity with our "system" (KRs, flat and drag routes).  So I just don't know why he wasn't playing earlier.  He is dynamic.

    • Adam Thielen had 1000 yards with rookie Bryce. I guess he's using that as comparison. Just kidding. Calm down. 
    • We definitely improved from 2024 to 2025, to me the results were less important than the roster in that regard. It's better. It's still a very bad roster but continuing to be better is the goal. The changes we are talking about at QB are about spending LESS resources. Not picking up Bryce's 5th is a big potential savings. Significantly better QB's have been had in recent years for half or less than what Bryce will get in 2026. To say nothing of an extension(the ridiculous subject of this thread) which would cripple roster building by saddling it with a bloated QB contract for an awful QB. The price for Bryce, I mean who is even making that argument anymore? I don't think you are seeing anyone in this thread discussing trading up to #1 for Mendoza.  We are talking about cheap backup and FA QB's and Day 2 and 3 draft guys. That is literally tied to the idea of roster building. IMPROVE at QB while you build the roster so that we can actually potentially attract a franchise QB or when you make that big move up(SF for Lance) that your roster is so good that the impact is largely negated.  After all, improving over Bryce is an extremely low bar to hit. Let's not assume that standing pat would have resulted in a sudden spurge in good decision making. Don't forget who was making all those roster calls at the time. Bryce or not, we would have fuged it up in some way because we had idiots at the helm. We may still yet. Also, it's easy to say we can't get in the habit of switching QB's like that but there are also plenty of situations where that flip was the correct decision. Richardson to Jones, Rosen to Murray, Fields to Williams, Lance to Purdy(technically some nuance to this), etc. There is no real danger of Bryce leaving and suddenly becoming an elite QB. We all do know this, no matter how big of a Bryce stan you may be. His ceiling is middling game manager. So there isn't some crazy risk of moving on.
    • Honestly. You can see it on the field. Bryce will literally skip a pass on the ground rather than throw a contested catch to XL. Especially when it's one where XL would have to fight back to the ball. Coker is actually really good at that. Coker lacks real NFL speed (not a small thing), but he maxes out in most other categories.
