I listened to all of it. I pretty much agree with everything that was discussed.  As for their ceiling and floor predictions, I will wait until preseason is over before I weigh in on that discussion. 

They were surprisingly high on our draft picks, although it seems like they also thought Wallace was a reach yet Sanders was a steal, almost could have swapped the spots they were picked.

I personally don't take issue with draft position as long as the player has an impact on the team. Now using multiple draft picks on a player raises the stakes. Those types of decisions go in a GM's ledger and better balance out after the seasons over.

I dont think a single pick this year from the draft does anything meaningful in 2024.  Does that help or hurt young/canales I dont know but I guess we will see.  Morgan seemingly is playing the long game with this draft class which is I guess a form of rebuilding.  Im fine with the XL and Sanders pick, but the 2nd and 3rd rounders are def head scratchers

I doubt any of them will either. They could possibly be worked as the season progresses but who knows. Morgan definitely committed to improving the offensive side of the ball, but the results will not be immediately realized.

It appears to me as a true commitment to rebuilding the team and not a half-assed attempt to win now. While winning is the goal I think they have finally admitted that this had to be done. To do it right it will take another offseason of good drafting and wise FA additions to set a foundation to build on.

If successful,  they will be able to eventually replace high priced FA'S with their own draft picks. But all of the hinges on drafting well going forward. Will the new guys they drafted work out? We won't know for a season or two with some of them. That's the cold hard reality. It's the result of years a bad draft and mismanagement from the FO.

And this year, the huddle better not say that our offense is vanilla on purpose during preseason! You play like how you practice!

      DJ Moore trade talk

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Yes, he's a tier above them, but you also touched on the money side of it.  With T-Mac locked in as our #1 on a rookie contract for a few more years, I'd much rather use that money that would be needed for DJ on our defense and develop Coker into our #2.   Especially given his contract situation as an UDFA, as his contract is up at the end of this year but we can keep him around for a 3rd team controlled year on the real cheap.  Which means we probably could get him to sign a very reasonable extension this offseason to give him a little more money while giving us a bargain contract for what he provides. DJ's contract is north of $20 million for the next 5 years, why pay that for your #2 WR with the needs we have on defense and you have guys like Coker, XL, and Horn on rookie contracts who very well could combine to be a serviceable 2-4 WRs behind a stud in T-mac? I love DJ and he'd be a great fit on this team as our #2, but the money side of it just makes absolutely zero sense, that's all it comes down to for me on this one. And no, I don't see the Bears wanting XL back in that trade, because they drafted Burden, who is essentially a better version of what XL provides, a player you want to get the ball into their hands and let them go to work.

      This has to be bitached about, those biased refs

      By fanpanther · Posted

      I didnt see that many bad calls in the panthers cowboys game, but the chiefs especially in the playoffs were getting every single call they could get then the refs when it didnt matter would throw a call towards the other teams.  That I believe was the taylor swift effect.   But its crazy just thinking about how easy it is to change a game.  You dont need but a single ref to make a few close calls go towards one team over the other and in the nfl that is the game.

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

      By CRA · Posted

      I don't think it's unrealistically blaming Bryce Young......to say has been a reason, sometimes a big one, in why our pass offense overall has been extremely week over the past 3 collective seasons.  I think that bothering anyone, is just being overly invested in some Bryce Young argument.  It's just a reality.
