I miss having good players worth cheering for

This. We had players who had character and personality and you knew they were giving 100% regardless. They would fight till the end and wouldnt give up. We have no character today, no personality and unfortunately I get the impression we have some guys just collecting paychecks and going through the motions.

Agreed. I can’t think of any players on this team aside from Derrick Brown who would have had a spot on that 2015 team. It’s like they are talking about backing up the brinks truck for Brian Burns and I’m like….why? He disappears for games at a time. Scott Fitterer should be ejected into the sun for not taking that deal from the Rams.

I realize its not good to compare but when I compare Brian Burns in my head to some of our former stars, I cant see him beating any of them out for a starting spot. Those guys were true bad asses and game changers. I miss our old school players. They would kick the crap out of our guys of today. Even our QB was an old school cannon armed big bruising truck who would bang heads with the biggest of defenders with no fear. They were all tough and nasty. Our guys today seem so weak, delicate, small, frail and easily thrown off their game mentally with minimal effort put in. Sad to think about how much I miss that old team.

Our greatest season, and also the most fun. My little girl was created during this, and I remember both me and her mama used to watch the games. She even threw me a Super Bowl party that year. Fun fun year. Just sucks we couldn’t close the deal. 

We created our first daughter that season as well. I guess having a great team puts me in the mood.

I actually feel 2003 was better, because we were not supposed to win , we came out of nowhere , with a QB who was 3rd string on the Aints behind Aaron Brooks 

2015 was great , but it just doesn't match the magical ride of the cardiac cats of 03, if Kasay just hadn't kicked it out of bounds, but who are we kidding Brady and Welker would have still nickel and dimed us into field goal range

I'm on board with 2003 also because we were one Kasey kick not going out of bounds from a 50/50 coin toss in OT and our offense had scored TDs on three consecutive possessions.... 

SB 38 was tantalizingly close..... SB 50 not so much

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
