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.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
