I’m prepared to suck again but hoping for 5 wins. I know it will be hard to do sadly.  I just don’t want to see any dumb contracts handed out. Also really hope to hit on 2-3 future starters in the draft. I’m not against one more year of Jackson or Sanders then move in next year for dead cap purposes.  I try hard to be optimistic just is getting tougher and tougher.  I was really hoping Mays or Zavala could take a guard spot to save some money to spend elsewhere but just can’t seem to do it. And LoL at our TE situation.

Young's average time before a pass is 2.89 seconds, 10th-longest. He has held onto the ball an average of 2.84 seconds when blitzed, sixth-longest.

This dosent fit their narrative that Young wasnt given a chance. 

He is supposed to have 5 seconds of pocket time and WRs with 5 yards of separation.

Exactly. Also it needs to be 5 yards of separation within 20 yards of the line of scrimmage so he can make an accurate pass

The salary cap can be easily manipulated and it makes sense we do that to get cap room. Otherwise Burns has leverage in negotiating knowing we need his cap space which will be significant. Expect Moton to be restructured  and suddenly we have cap space for what we want. If we show him we can operate without his space then signing him is more likely.  Sure we might kick the can a little bit down the road out of necessity,  but we don't need to tank this year.

Oof. Moton and Christensen are the only two guys on our roster who could conceivably fit.

That is what I was going to say---I thought Bozeman was not good last year, but it could have been due to being flanked by reserve guards. Corbett played about 4 games and was not good. 

If we go with a wide zone BS, I would think that Ekwonu could become a G--but I am only speculating

Final pearl of wisdom:  I think the secret to free agency is signing a player with a question mark (coming off a surgery, following a bad year, etc) and doing your homework.  A signing like Sanders, for example, from a team the a dual threat QB and a great OL, was stupid.    I hated it at the time and we are paying dearly for it.  Hurst?  I'd rather have Tremble in the game.  Now, we did this with Chark and it did not pan out.  Not that bad of a risk, honestly.  Thielen was a good signing.  He panned out, but they were under the impression we would be competitive in 2023.  Time to refocus.  Build the OL, draft weapons, and move on.  Trade Burns if it helps--if it hurts the team, keep him.  duh.

at #33 i think you take the kid out of Georgia as he checks all of the boxes Ladd McConkey.you look at what the kid can do &  he is probably one of the more complete players in this draft at wR  as he can block well exceptional route runner play him outside or inside & even mix it up a little out of the backfield.

I think we just have to hope that sanders was bad due to lingering injuries and bad OL play.

 

That Bryce will look capable.

We get another receiver and minho develops.

And OL play and depth improves.

 

That should get us a couple more TDs a game at least and we could look at least competent going into next year.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
