Maye has been real meh without Josh Downs. 

The Pac-12 has been the spot to watch QBs.  Caleb, Nix, Ward, Penix, Sanders.  It's been fun. 

Drake Maye is having a very underwhelming season thus far.  That UNC team isn't doing him favors but he's just not as commanding moving that offense as I thought he'd be (braces for UNC fans)

And Bo is older than Bryce. Not sure what to make of him.

Bo, I don't know.  He's improved a lot, has a lot to like.  

The growing reality is a lot of rookies are going to be older with just how things like NIL and college life seem to be evolving these days.  See -- Hooker, Levis, Nix, Rattler, Travis, Penix, etc.  All 23+ coming out.  I almost expect some adjustments are being made on the scouting side to put a little less emphasis in the age department.  Unless there's some super promising 20-21 y'o Junior coming out (like Caleb) that become the obvious exceptions in a top tier.

Yea, we lose this game I don’t see any kind of recovery for a respectable season possible. Not making the playoffs or anything was an understandable expectation. 0-6, likely to turn into a 2-4 win season would be a big disappointment. 

A respectable season went out the window last week. We're almost certainly starting 0-6, with the majority of a roster that finished 7-9 last year.

Eh, not really. We don’t have our guards, starting WR, RBs are different, instability at QB, new system means old roster is learning new schemes which means you can’t compare directly to last year. Plenty has changed and it’ll take time for it to settle in.

We don’t know what the inverse of the situation would have been. We could have signed Derek Carr, Jimmy G, or minshew and never made the trade. Then ended up finishing around 7-10 - 11-6 …. Then picking in the middle of the first next year. 
 

then how are we feeling? Delaying the inevitable at that point.

we can create as many universes as we want … but stressing about what pick the bears get completely dismisses the purpose of the deal. 

Well sadly in this universe we traded 5 premium players to pick young and somehow get worse as a franchise.

The Houston, Indy and Chicago games are the ones that will be super telling/could result in some major shade being thrown if we don't start pulling out Ws.  Those are the teams in our tier going into the season.

2 of them being in the same boat - New coach, new QB, major makeovers throughout.  The other team being in absolute disarray after we gave them our top offensive weapon and draft pick in 2024.  

That stretch will be telling.

This Vikings game -- we at minimum need to see a competent offense with Bryce on the field.  No ifs ands or buts about it.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By Chief Keek · Posted

      The only WR that makes sense in the first is KC Concepcion. He fills multiple roles in the offense and is a PR specialist.

      That depends upon what happens with receiver this year and what happens with free agency next year. Hopefully we'll be good by addressing receiver this year (regardless of whether we snag one in the first round or not). If we don't and are unlucky enough for to Coker get hurt (and X solidifies his bust status, and JAGs be JAGing), then we may be fùçked! But I assume that Dan Morgan and company will feel compelled to look for answers in free agency and use that to set up the draft just like this offseason.  Reality is not as simple as we drafted this position X times in a row in the first. If you're suggesting that we could draft a position in the first four times in a row, that's not likely. At some point probability has to be taken into account. I mean, how many years in a row can you be unlucky with one position?  As I've said at times before, you try and plan for the long term personnel-wise and cap-wise of course, but things happen so, in a sense, you still must look at each season--each "team" if you will--unto itself each season. So many things can happen between now and then. A major industry can profoundly impact the bigger picture (like this year), someone could offer you a trade proposal that you can't resist, players might not have progressed to your expectations--you know, things like that. Moreover, you have to be aware of the dynamics of each draft class, including the fact that there could be unexpected draft risers and fallers during the college season. That's a lot. As of today, we expect the 2027 draft to have more exclamations than question marks at OT and the QB class and WR group is expected to be exceptionally strong. We'll have a clearer picture of whatever we'll have to focus on next year at this time.  Lastly, keep in mind that there's always more than one way to get you to where you want to go. The yearly puzzle is not static, it's dynamic and complex.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      By Chief Keek · Posted

      I'm fine with Thieneman or McNeil-Warren.. Rodriguez won't last until 51 so they would have to trade up, he may end up being a late first round selection. Anthony Hill Jr. is more likely to be available. I don't expect defense in the first round now after the murmurings of finding another weapon for Bryce.
