Yeah....we still have BY at QB, but it seems like we've moved past that for the most part. Still not sure why Ian Thomas is still around aside from being an OK blocker, but this coaching staff and FO seem intent on getting in here who they think fits their idea and aren't afraid of letting go of people who don't.

Good example is what they did in the secondary with waivers. They worked hard with a crew of DBs through training camp and preseason and then figured that we'd just rather go a different direction.

You may not like the choices, but the fact that they aren't sitting back and just trying to make it work with whoever we got and are intent on doing what we can to make the roster better.

We aren't a team resting on its pathetic laurels. We have a team that is, instead, actively working to get better and taking every opportunity to make that happen, even if it means giving up on guys like TMJ.

I'm not saying that the team is fixed or we've got all the answers, but I am saying that we're working towards and getting it figured out.

Yea I agree. BY was drafted number 1 so that gets you 2-3 years on any team. If it doesn’t work out after that I do feel like they will move on. I do think he will be fine as long as the line is solid. He will never be Mahommes but will be better than last year.

The only thing that's clear to me is that they took this offseason and preseason to evaluate the entire roster. Not just a few positions, every position. Those that are not cutting it are replaced. It doesn't matter how long they've been here or how much they are loved by the fans. I like that approach. I have a feeling it's not over and will not be for a few seasons to come as long as Dan and Dave are in charge.

Was that the approach under Fitterer or Rhule though? Their philosophy seemed to be one man's trash is another man's treasure basically. Bare in mind Dan Morgan was here through most of that.

With Morgan now all that really matters is if he can draft very well. That's the only true way to build going forward.

Fitterrer and Rhule were obsessed with RAS. Their philosophy was draft athletes and then teach them to play.

Problem is they either couldn't teach or drafted guys who couldn't learn. Either way, you need to select good old fashioned football players at some point.

And I believe Morgan stated he wanted football players. Guys that love it. So we'll see. I think he knows what that mindset looks like.

      Why do we always let our good players go ?   CMC was injured and we let him go . Now we face him Monday night .  We know what Chuba can do . We know what Rico can do .  We signed Chuba so why not sign Rico .   we don't know what we have in Brooks ,  Let him and Eteine go at it in camp . Keep the better player .  Don't let your proven players leave .

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Oh, I get it. I called him Peewee for the first couple of years. He is too small to be an NFL QB. It wasn't as much of a problem in college, even in the SEC, because every player in the NFL is the size and speed of the biggest 22 on your entire college team.  I was left scratching my head over the pick and what we traded to get him (and yes, that cost analysis is unavoidable). Now we're sunk into the third season and the kid just popped a frikkin' amazing game out there where he showed every mark of what you need in a top end QB. Great passing, mobility, guts, toughness (that ankle must have been killing him) and the ability to put a team on his back to claw back a win. He didn't win it with his arm so much as by getting the ball to the right people at the right time, but that is what the best do. Do I believe he's going to be our QB of the future here? I'm still out on that. Way out on that. But I'm at least intrigued. Can he replicate what he did or even get close? Can he perform well against the power opponents we have left on the schedule? Heck, can he even beat New Orleans this season?  Right now, my personal feeling is that he'd make a heck of a back-up QB. He could prove me wrong and excel, though. Maddening as it is, that'd be the best outcome ever. Or he could have just hit his peak. And that would be bittersweet because then we start the whole thing over again. I don't see a reclaimation project QB out there right now that Canales can work his magic on.
