Wait, how do they say we're 25th before the draft, praise the pick, and then drop to 28th?

I guess the same way they had Chicago 28th (I think) pre draft even though they had the first pick. Then bumped them up in the top 20 based on offensive/defensive line additions. Never mentioned the trade for DJ or explain how Fields will somehow morph into a capable QB. But yeah I totally agree with you.

These rankings are just for fans and the media to talk about during the week when they have nothing else to talk about.  

Unlike college football,  rankings mean nothing in the NFL ..  it's all about winning the division,, and then trying to have the best records ( not ranking )  to get home field advantages..  

I have us ranked number 1 on the NFL SOUTH ..  and currently ( drum roll )   Number 1 in the NFC .  💪

Our OFFENSE was crippling in 2021, 2022.  We won 7 games last season without a QB.  I think the OL is much improved in 2023.

Center:  We are better because Bozeman is now the starter for the entire season and we have 2-3 solid hybrid G/C backups (Mays, McRay)

Guard:  Corbett and Christensen--our backups are better than our starters were in 2021.  Mays, Zavala, McCray, Jensen---forget Jordan and Brown---awesome strength at G.  Do not be surprised, at some point, BC does not become the swing T. 

Tackle:  Moton, Ekwonu, and Erving.  With BC's ability at T and insane depth at G, we have a solid T group.

When Zavala is ready for LG, BC might become a T again.  Mays might be ready for RG now, but Corbett was just extended.  Mays could be the swing G/C. 

Now take a look at Wide Receiver:
You have to expect Marshall to continue the growth he flashed last season.  Shenault was not used correctly--I am sure we are going to see him in the game plan more like Debo.  New toys?  Chark and Theilen will be pros and that will mean a lot to a young QB, but Mingo could make this group special.  Folks, we have never had 5 studs at WR--potential studs--but with a TE threat, we are now better.

Running Back:  Sanders, Blacksheer, Hubbard, Brown--I think we stepped back in this area from CMC (but not after he was traded), but with a new QB and better OL than even last year, this RB group could be average to above average.

Quarterback:  To me, our backup in 2023 is better than what we had starting in 2022. 

So this offense has the chance to be special.  If Bryce plays well, this team wins the South and makes some noise in the playoffs--

PFF is always called trash here when it doesn't align with people's views. Yet, when it supports their arguments they will cite it over and over again. 

Can't have it both ways people. 

Here is not a hive mind. I consistently call it trash no matter the context.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
