So...... a #1 WR who has had only 1 healthy/good season in his career (4 years ago), a RB who has had one good year and we badly overpaid based on the rest of the RB contract market this year, a league average (at best) TE that we're also overpaying, and an admittedly solid vet presence as a slot WR.

And that's before even getting to us taking the wrong QB

But sure, let's all get excited over this very average at best set of skill position players.

Literally our OL and Defense are better units than that set of skill position players.

Sorry, but just calling it like I see it.

Also for what it's worth, I don't hate most of the moves we made this offseason, I thought many were great.

But Miles, Chark, and Hurst were the 3 moves I hated the most, and nothing to do with the players specifically, but the whole picture.  I'd have been fine with both Miles and Hurst if the contracts were cheaper and more in line with what their market value should have been with the rest of this year's FA class.  I also don't hate Chark or even his number in a vacuum, it's that I despise going into the season with him as the #1 WR for a rookie QB, would be totally different if he was the #2.

I like Chark but he's been battling the injury bug as of late and signed a one year deal. I want another promising rookie WR. And hopefully by the midway point of the season we're talking about how nice of a weapon Terrace Marshall JR is.

Chark at full strength is an absolute hand full with his speed and length.  High hopes for him this year cuz a Pro Bowl season is not at all out of the question

If he stays healthy is a nice combo. Chark has the speed to be the deep threat, Thielen is the possession slot WR with great hands, and Marshall is the big body large catch radius for the jump balls.

And Byrd is probably the fastest player on the team and Shenault was awesome last year.

Yeah, Thielen is about as clutch as you can get in 3rd down and redzone.  He won’t be a top fantasy guy like he once was but he knows how to make bigtime catches when things get tight.  Love that sign

I think a late rounder is where we most likely target it. I don’t actually expect us to go WR at 2 or 3 unless we really like drops. But there’s a few pretty intriguing options in the later rounds I’ve been looking into that could be pretty exciting

      Caleb Williams is struggling big time in OTAs

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      I'm really trying to give a fug....   Nope...that's  a lie.  I simply Don't give a fug about the bears, Caleb, or the fact we traded with them over a year ago.  All water under the bridge.  With that being said, Caleb is a punk ass rookie, that is in his first OTA in the NFL.  It really doesn't matter how he looks. He's suppose to be learning the system.

      Where will the wins come from? (my early predictions)

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      I sit here and think, Y'all call me a Homer?  This thread is filled with mostly people on the Extremes.    Ones whom are incapable of believing a group of talented athletes can play well enough together to win.  And ones that fit this description.   In may.  Believe that our offense is going to magically start carrying this team. Which has never happened in the history of this franchise.   You guys have no business calling me a Homer. Seriously.    Now that I have expressed this... let me open up more on This current team than I have to this point  In THEORY, our run defense should be much improved.  Which would in turn, give the defense more opportunities to actually rush the passer.  More than last year anyways.  Once again, in THEORY, our running game should be much improved.   That in itself should benefit out defense, by allowing the offense the opportunity to actually sustain drives.  There isn't a single pass rusher on this team that scares me. Clowney is a pretty good complete defensive end/edge guy.  At no point in his career was he ever considered an elite pass rusher.  Now he's our best pass rusher. After that we have a wanna be journeyman pass rusher, and a lot of unknowns.  Even with more pass rush opportunities on the horizon, how ANYONE can be confident about our pass rush at this moment, just blows my mind.  Going back to offense.  IF our oline can come together, and ve somewhat healthy this year, that will be a miracle in of itself. Thus is coming from a fan whom always says the okine takes time to come together.  He'll, last year they never had the opportunity to come together.   The line was being shuffled from the beginning.  How anyone expected our young left tackle to be even competent when musical chairs was played all season long at the guard positions , blows my mind. Is anyone capable of understanding the impact that has on an oline?  Which in turn impacts the entire offense?  Seriously.   The fact people still want to say they know Young sucks/is a bust after the 1 rookie season behind that miserable attempt of even fielding an offense??? Seriously, what the fug are you smoking? That ain't good poo. You need a better source for your drugs man.  You guys have brain damage.  IF our oline can come together, IF our oline can remain decently healthy, then yes, our offense should, for the first time since Tepper has owned the team, be offensive to other teams!! Our running game should flourish.  Nothing in any generation of NFL is more effective andndangerous than a balanced offense.   While I am somewhat optimistic about what this team as attempting to field this season... I do have my doubts.  I can see how it can come together.  I can also see how it can fail to get traction at all.  Our team should at least be more entertaining to watch for the first time in I don't know how many years.  Maybe I'll actually attend some games this year.  I won't hold my breath.  If our team findsa way to improve to average, that means will win 6 to 9 games.  That's a pretty good improvement for a first year head coach.  Notnsurw how many of our fans would be alright with that. Seems our fans fall into 2 categories.   Superbowl, or tank, I mean don't you dare win 1 damn game, and fug up a high draft pick so we can continue to suck forever!!!! Hmmmm  Seems this post has been all over the place.  And you have the audacity to call me a Homer. 🙄
