As they dismantle the Rams, we are going to wish we fleeced them for picks. Would have been nice to get a top TE with 36 this year, a stud level WR as a weapon with their 2024 1st and stud RT to replace a 31 year old Moton in 2025 and save $17.5M in cap that year. Of course to go along with our own pick 39, 2024 2nd and 2025 1st. Could have been a young super offense using FA money and other picks on D.

Yup. Should have pulled the trigger on the Burns trade, but water under the brdige at this point. Can't say it's a bad thing to have a guy with Burns' talent though and since he's going to be around, perhaps the new staff helps him be more consistent.

Was never about him. Of course I’d want him on the team but for pick 36 and 2 more 1sts plus all that cap space for FAs, I’m building around my 1st overall QB not an expensive edge rusher. The Rams sure aren’t acting like they believe in their near term after dumping Ramsey for peanuts and Robinson/not trying to keep OBJ. I almost wonder if McVeigh comes back if we owned their 36, next year’s 1st and 2025 1st. Hard to rebuild an aging team with a QB having a bum elbow when you have no 1sts until 2026 and no 2nds until 2024.

    • He had games where he was a top 10 QB that week, vs Saints, Falcons, Eagles, Chiefs, Bucs.  Amazing performances that I think show what he can do consistently.  
    • We both know there's more that goes into batted passes than just the height of the QB. Most people here have readily acknowledged this and there were numerous discussions about it before we drafted Young. But if you are presenting a POV that Bryce's height hasn't tied to issues with his footwork then there's nothing anyone is going to be able to say to sway you and you know this. Even beyond the footwork I recall a redzone play where Bryce couldn't see around his right tackle at all where a receiver was waiting practically alone in the end zone for a touchdown. There are real world circumstances that are going to show up over the course of the upcoming season and it's up to Bryce and Dave Canales to make adjustments and do anything they can to mitigate negative instances and yes that begins with Bryce's footwork again. Thanks for your time. Have a nice weekend.
    • I'm arguing that should those supposed deficiencies, like height or pocket footwork, be as consequential as you and others have claimed, then there would be a clear, observable impact in the data. That's not unreasonable. For example, batted passes are often used as a size-related concern (see: Baker Mayfield), yet Bryce ranked among the lowest in deflections at the line. If his stature is such a limitation, why isn't it showing up there? Or are you suggesting that's why his passing yards fall short of your expectations? If the latter, I would hope that you're not discounting yards left on the field due to drops (of which he led the league in).  Also, asking for specific, measurable benchmarks isn't aggression... it's accountability. If that feels uncomfortable, it might be worth reflecting on how much of your anti-Bryce argument is grounded in subjective perception rather than objective metrics. So, again: do you have any specific KPIs beyond total passing yardage, height, and weight that you consider relevant to evaluating whether a QB is top-10? If you want to add YPA and passing yards per game to those metrics, that's fair, just be clear about it. But let's not pretend that asking for clarity is some kind of provocation. I'm simply trying to understand the actual criteria... not just the vibes.
