We sure this guy’s “generational”?

Wow. I honestly didn't realize it was that bad.

That's what I was telling a buddy earlier this morning. Like I get it. He has a ton of talent and a highlight reel second to none. But the Pac-12 just does not play defense. He rarely faces a real defense.

I would love to see who those top 25 teams were that he played. But when it comes to the draft it won't really matter too much. He was always going to be under a crazy microscope because he balled out for two years. But by hitching your wagon to go with Lincoln Riley you are forced to play in shootouts every single week because he simply does not give a hoot about defense. And this is probably the least talented team he has been on. 

Stroud couldn't beat Michigan. Manning couldn't beat Florida. Josh Allen couldn't hit a movie target in stride his whole college career. Mahomes had some 5 interception games in college. 

Regardless of what the final stat line reads for Williams, hes the closest thing we have to Mahomes in college but hes significantly further ahead in terms of accuracy and playmaking ability compared to Mahomes in college. So he is going to get drafted high by a team that thinks they can develop him into something similar.. 

I know it sounds stupid but if you are Chicago and you can pair Williams with DJ Moore and Marvin Harrison Jr, Darnell Mooney and Cole Kmet that *looks* like a pretty sick offense for a rookie top end QB to jump into.

Saw that Carl Torbush passed away today.

In my younger years I was a student assistant for a team that Torbush worked for (not UNC) and I wore a UNC hoody into the football operations building one morning on the way to do film review. A few of the coaches told me to take my hoody off but Torbush looked at me and said it was the best thing he’s seen all morning and to keep it on lol.

He was instrumental in getting Peppers to UNC and was otherwise just a great human being.

RIP Coach.

Listen, I'm a UNC fan so I fully comprehend the frustration of scoring a lot of points and watching your D somehow manage to surrender even more, but damnit Caleb Williams you cannot go crawling into the stands to literally go crying to momma. Good grief, man.

He did that? I fell asleep and hadn’t seen anything about the game aside from the score. No wonder Drake is the consensus #1 pick now.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
