It’s a terrible sign for TMJ’s future that he can’t beat out the likes of Shi Smith for playing time.

To be fair all we have to base Marshall on is what he did in college. And in college he was on a loaded offense and simply contributed with his awesome supporting cast. Shi was on a less than stellar offense and was forced to carry the entire passing game. 

There's gotta be a reason he isn't playing yet besides just Rhule doing Rhule things.

Maybe they also weren’t good picks. Brown has flashed at times, which isn’t great for 7th overall but his talent has showed up at least. Still not a good pick, but we’ve seen little to no flashes from the other two. At times, you are just making plays by yourself, rushing the passer or getting open. Neither has shown that they are better than easily replaceable.

I won’t disagree that coaching sucks but like Baker, there’s more than enough to see where his height has impacted us (batted balls and having to throw late to DJ) and his inaccuracy impacted us.

That is always the case, but I base my opinion  on the premise that I can see them going elsewhere and becoming stars.  Of course there are many variables--but imagine Marshall in New England or Brown in LA with the Rams--

Marshall showed a bit of a flash today.

He did? 7.5 ypr is flashing? Smith outproduced him on 1 catch. I’m glad it wasn’t a donut and better than his 1-2 catches for 10-11 yards per game in last year’s 13 games. 4-30 doesn’t scream 2nd round playmaker to me.

Maybe he builds on it.

He can’t control what routes McAdoo draws up, but he was targeted 4 times and caught all 4. Considering how anemic this offense has been, I’ll consider that pretty good…

When someone catches 4 balls for 30 yards, I’m not going to say he flashed. He’s a 2nd round pick in year 2. Sure our coaches suck but he was given a ton of snaps last year and a 6th round pick, who’s had his issues, had still flashed way more than him and overtook him. When he looks better than Smith and Robby, then he’s flashing. I’m not celebrating 7.5 ypr when Rhule was clearly trying to make sure he got involved more.

Honestly I can't evaluate poo on this poor excuse for an offense.  All I know is he went it and caught everything thrown at him.  That's better than a lot of our players on offense.  I think Moore caught 4/8 and yeah maybe some were uncatchable, but I have seen way too many drops.  Maybe "flashed" wasn't the right word, but he showed he needs more opportunity and doesn't belong on the inactive list of the worst offense in the NFL.

He's done more than Shi Smith has on any drive in one game.

Like be critical, but people can be happy that our 2nd round WR showed something none of our other WRs have - the ability to create some separation against man.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
