Yall positive folks didnt have a problem pooing anybody who wasnt buying the hype about this coaching staff and roster in the off season. Yall was so sure it was nowhere but up from Rhule. This was and will continue to be funny to me. 

That's the thing. I WAS positive. Then preseason started and we looked terrible. I shared my concerns as did others. We were roundly mocked for not understanding the NFL and how preseason doesn't matter and how everything will look so much different and better once we started game planning 

So... when does preseason endband this game planning begin? I'm ready for us to look much different and better.

There's plenty to be negative about, but then there's the folks who are unreasonably negative and won't accept anything that conflicts with their mood.

He doesnt have a nfl level arm.  Throwing even moderately deep isnt going to be his bag going forward.  Ive accepted that.  Now whether we can win championships with it I am extremely skeptical of.  If you cannot consistently make all the throws the defense can just bottle you up like in the 2nd half for example

Yeah this type of poo is why people are annoyed. The QB school vid was just posted with the dude praising Young’s arm strength on throws, he throws a dart 30yds down field off balance with a defender yanking on him literally the second pass of the game, countless other examples, the overthrow on the deep shot that was inaccurate because the QB couldn’t follow through and had to protect himself because the guard and center blew the protection. Then you say you’re just being realistic. That’s called blind negativity and trolling.

I’ve tried to start discussions about our abysmal defense, you know the 31st defense in the NFL. But all these folks that want to be “realistic” about our crappy team only seem to want to discuss their negative views about the rookie QB. That’s interesting.

@LinvilleGorge, I mean this in the most respectful way, but I think you need to take a step back. This thread adds nothing of value to the board and whether your intentions are positive or not, contextually it looks very passive-aggressive.

As a moderator, the bare minimum should be to lead by example. This is not the precedent you want to be setting.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
