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!

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
