oh and qb as well

QB is a weird one. Because I have no clue what their intentions are with it. 

They could be anywhere from drafting one in R1 to getting a late round flyer, to just getting another vet. 

I've got no pulse/feel for what they want at QB. So I just went with my personal thoughts of focusing on rebuilding the team first and trying to resolve qb in 2026. 

Observing our recent history we've been swinging and missing a lot at QB. Maybe its time to take a break and rebuild other parts of the team.

for sure, but as of right now the position has to be addressed as well

I am not expecting much from Shaq at his mileage numbers after an achilles tear. That ship has sailed or sunk, most likely.

It would be better to plan to replace him and if he comes back strong, bonus. We need someone that can cover just a little too, Wallace ain't too hot on that, maybe he'll get better with experience and work. 

It is hard watching this stuff when we watched Luke and TD for years.

are you included edge in this? Because IMO our most pressing needs are 

1 Edge

2 MLB

3 NT

4 TE

5 CB

6 WR 

7 S

We could use multiple people at edge IMO. I would be happy if they draft two in the first three rounds

This is of course excluding QB which is truly our number one need but that can't be addressed IMO this offseason

That's my hope. This year doesn't look great for QBs. I really hope they just wait until 2026 to draft a rookie. Our team has so many holes on it that drafting a rookie here wouldn't be beneficial to them anyway

Canales and Morgan and the whole crew have much more time to consider the options.

I hate to say it because people don't like it but IF the demise of Bryce is real, it opens things way up. Better to know where we are not heading sooner than later.

If they'd have known he was/would be shelved after 2 weeks maybe we'd have operated differently setting the roster.

I don't think there is yet a guy on our roster who will clearly be a starter here in 3 years.

Jewell seems unlikely to be a long term keep, Shaq's future is in question, Wallace is a rookie that there is no telling how that will turn out and the rest are a grab bag of JAGs and PS players.

It's an area that will need development but pass rushers and interior DL are far bigger issues on the defense.

      Time to Sign David Njoku

      He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes

      Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
