Your point is correct, but as we stand here today he would still be the best end on our roster.   So to me losing what we did, and not really having a good d last year,  would indicate for now that the defense probably will struggle.

Fair enough. I guess we'll just have to hope Clowney reproduces his stats from last year, however likely that is.

receiving room is worse? TE is worse? RB is worse? Interior DL is worse? Clowney is a downgrade from Burns?

Thinking Reaction GIF

Edge is way worse. Wr room might be a small upgrade , but who’s getting them the ball? 
te is worse. lb is worse, safety could go either way. Interior line upgraded but still have a turnstile at LT. I think brooks is the teams best RB already but not sure how much he impacts this season. 
 

so huge subtractions from defense, slight upgrades at wr and an upgrade at IOL. Yea the team is bad, really bad.

I think the team knows this already. That's why everything will not be perfect and positions will have to wait another offseason to be addressed. The roster you see now will not be the same roster that takes the field week one.

I bet its 85% the same, maybe a new corner, maybe another edge but this is it

Yeah go ahead and ride that "we got worse" pony. It's the easiest ride so why not?

I just don't see it. On the whole I see an upgraded team.

Proof will be in the play, but no one is going to be able to come close to convincing me that we are "worse" anymore than those who just hate everything we do will be convinced that we got better.

I think they've improved the level of talent overall given the circumstances. The biggest unknown is the coach and his offense. There's still holes in critical spots IMO and the rookie weapons may not make an impact this season. Having said that, I still like the direction Morgan is going with the team. I hope he hits on a lot of these early picks because this team desperately needs it.

The offense is upgraded no doubt. OL, Johnson, XL, Brooks all should contribute this year. Defense is close but I think it’s more balanced now. If we sign Gilly I’d feel better.

I just think we're all going to be surprised this year in a good way for once.

I don't care about anyone eating crow or anything. I don't  blame anyone for doubting this team's potential.

I just want us all to enjoy being a fan again and I really think we're getting ready to experience that.

Yeah the “eating crow” thing is dumb because at the end of the day most of us fans just want to see some wins. Sone have their guards up and some don’t care.

I agree. I think this year's team will be funny to watch.  I can't even remember the last time I've said that.

I enjoy the game either way. I'm either cheering or laughing when I watch our games. It's like a comedy of errors that I've become addicted to.

It’s like a traffic accident, but I can’t not look. I have taken to watching replays and and not live games, and just enjoying my Sunday afternoons rather than donating every Sunday to the NFL. Who I have grown to despise as an entity. But football is a lifelong interest and difficult to move on from, entirely.

Tepper has pushed me to the fringes of fanhood.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes I to account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as a treading water year. I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked.

      think these smaller Qb's are going to have a much harder time convincing an NFL team to draft them. not saying a smaller Qb under 6 feet tall will not make an NFL roster .it will most likely be a UDFA contract more or less prove it deal.NFL teams have been burnt time & time again investing in these small NFL Qbs & i think  teams are now finally starting to realize that investing in these smaller Qb's under 6 feet tall is simply a bad idea  ...just saying
