Are you buying into the media's narrative that we are third tier

Most of the stuff I read on line says that we will be a third tier team (at best). I know it's impossible to know at this point, but just looking over the roster at this point. Are they right?

Are you expecting a wild card or .500 team or bottom dweller.

What's the gut feeling on here...

I just think we're a gigantic question mark with an all new staff, all new schemes, a new #1 overall pick QB, etc. It's gonna be exciting to find out. But as far as expectations go? Honestly, I don't have any. I just hope we show that we're heading in the right direction.

We've got some very specific question marks (outside CB depth, edge setter, & unproven WRs), but it's a really well rounded squad.  Defense could pop.  

Offensively, there's a lot of unknowns but you've got the line talent, good enough receivers, and a fresh #1 overall pick behind center.  

There's just so much new, it's difficult for anyone to project.

I'm all for proving people wrong.

You can balance out the outside media stuff with the Blueprint series and basically say who the fug knows. It should look more like an NFL team than what we watched the last couple years, but I also think many of us watched that Colts/Broncos TNF game that is in discussion for one of the worst games ever so who knows

I’m expecting vast improvements from last year. Improvements from a team that was one game and injury(Horn) away from beating Tom Brady and making the playoffs. With a slew of characters named Matt Rhule, Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield, and even Steve Wilks. 
 

Our only significant loss is Dj Moore and we’ve replaced him with Adam Theilen, Dj Chark, Jonathan Mingo, and even Hayden Hurst. There’s no way things don’t solidify. We have the top Qb prospect in college, a dream team of coaches, and depth at so many spots. We’re afraid of Derek Carr and Dennis Allen? We’re afraid of a running back? 
 

I’m sorry but I just won’t go into this season with contempt, I’m too excited in everything else that’s happened, if it’s not the smartest way to be. Keep Pounding.

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
