This is a common and extremely unfounded fear by our fans. The PS to "stud" list contains so few players over the past 30 years that most of us can probably list the few cases.

Coker is exactly what he has shown, a PS to borderline fringe roster guy. Noteable as this is currently the worst roster in the NFL.

I was not surprised that most of the peiole we cut didn't get claimed. That isn't accidental.

I hope you're wrong about the roster.  I might have agreed with the worst roster last year, but the fan in me believes they have upgraded enough positions to make a little noise this year.  I'm seeing the glass as half full, you're seeing the glass as half full of piss.  But if you've been a fan for a while, I get it, and hope those days are behind us.

Has it been discussed which waiver guys were the biggest head scratchers for us not going after? 

Probably just KJ Henry. More of a 3 tech or 4-3 DE when we're looking for OLB's. Whether it would have still been an upgrade inside I dunno, seems like the D-line can use as much pass rush help as possible wherever it comes from.

If you just walk down the roster, if becomes clear that this is a worse roster than last year.

But, some of that was just going to be the case. I am not saying it in a doom and gloom manner but factually. 

If our offseason moves turn out to be mostly above average and we look like we have competent coaching, then there is plenty of hope for the future no matter how many losses pile up this season.

Worse OL? Nah can't say this year is worse. We got 2 legit and proven OGs. What did we have last year?

WR? TE? RBs? QB? Not seeing it. Who did we lose or add that makes it worse?

DL? How? Looks like we upgraded there.

Edge? Burns for Clowney? Both produce, except we got a better run defender (and someone who doesn't half ass it).

LBs? I don't know....seems like a push there. Same with the secondary.

I just don't see this being a worse roster than last year, especially not "clearly".

It does seem to be marginally less mostly on defense. Although some positions were probably upgrades. Evero seems like his sum is better than his parts so if they can hang and not collapse, it would help. Thin thin thin. 

On offense it come down to making defenses play honest and to do that we have to get respect for the passing threat. I'd sure love to get to the point that we could knock a team out of a playoff spot because that's about the highest reasonable goal I will go for. That's probably not a 4 win team doing that, it is watchable ball.

You think this roster is worse than last year?  I don't see that at all.  I'm not saying we will be good, but I don't see how the roster is worse overall.

Thanks sir. Anything you would have done differently?

I think the ceiling is lower but the floor is higher. Losing burns and that LB, there's no way to mitigate that. But the bottom of the roster appears better, imo.

Losing Luvu stinks, but Burns wasn't a fit.  Maybe he'll become the elite player some fans thought he was in New York.  But on paper, the marginal difference between Clowney and Burns looks like a wash.

There is just no world in which I am gonna agree that we aren't worse. Now, this is a sinking versus floating turds argument ultimately.

he didn't produce like he should, so im not crying about it. still a quality player. Wash with Clowney? Yeah. Maybe. Clowney had an all world year last year but all the guys on the ravens feasted. Still not sure what we have with clowney. Hope so.

      Panthers NFC South Champs!

      I think it's strange that you still can't see where I'm coming from, and I guarantee you don't have more faith in him than I do.  You're looking at him in a vacuum, not about the team around him and the likely offensive game plans this season. We're going to be a run first team with 3 receiving options better than any of the other players on past rookie 1k seasons. If you can't understand that, then it's a you problem, not a me problem. Arizona's previous basketball coach, Sean Miller, used to do something at the first team meeting of every season and I think it's soooooooooo applicable to this situation. He'd have every player right down how many minutes/points they expected to average that season and then he'd add them up.  It would show that if they all hit those numbers, we'd score like 125 points a game and need to be playing 7 guys at a time to get their minutes. That's pretty much how you guys are putting your T-Mac expectations out there, looking solely at the player and what you think he should be able to do, not how the offense will operate as a whole. Every yard one player gets is one less yard someone else can get.  It sounds like I just have more faith in Thielen, XL, and Coker this year than most everyone else.  But a big reason for that faith is because of T-Mac and how much he'll open things up for the rest of them and Bryce being the type of QB to take the open easy passes than force it to his #1. As I've said, if any one of the following happens... Thielen ends the season sub 700 yards, XL or Coker end up sub 500 yards... Then yes, I will then shift my expectations for T-Mac's rookie year to be at least 1,000 yard season. But since I have faith in those other 3 having solid seasons, it tempers my expectations yardage totals for T-Mac this year, and this year alone.  I've also clearly stated many times that I think he's going to reach 10 TDs. If T-Mac ends the season with 800 yards and 10 TDs, while Thielen gets 900-1,000 and XL/Coker each get around 600, I don't see any world where that is a failure for a rookie season for T-Mac. Because again, we're talking about expectations, not what is possible.  So given the other WR options, I can't EXPECT T-Mac to get to the 1k mark, which is a far cry from me saying I don't think he can get there. Do you really not see the difference there?

      2024 College Football Thread

      I don't recall anyone seeing this coming.  I mean, two seperate things for me.  I thought BB just might not work in college football because he is old grumpy man and college is about appealing to young kids.   So yeah, that could of gone great or horrible.  Coin flip.  This isn't that convo for me.  what we are witnessing right now play out.....this was never part of the disaster possibility/path discussed lol.  Really weird stuff.  Or maybe I missed the part where UNC hires a 20 year old "girlfriend" that apparently runs the Bill operation and before the season even starts is taking over more than just Bill but influence of the entire UNC operation.  That was her getting that official statement made today.  It was her sabotaging the Hard Knocks UNC show because she somehow wasn't the star.  Seems like elder abuse lol.  Only largely kidding.  You even got Charles Barkley saying he normally doesn't talk about personal lives of his friends but he might have to check in on Bill because this ain't normal stuff lol.  Anyway, it's entertaining.  Everything is a cartoon it seems these days.

      I think its strange how you were claiming this guy was the second coming of Mike Evans and you can't even get behind 1k yards? I guess I have more faith in him than you
