What did you get right and what did you get wrong?

 

Nailed

- 2-5 wins

- Worst roster talent-wise we have fielded in franchise history

- The rookie draft class would be largely ineffective.

- Corbett would inevitably get injured and we would have to scramble at Center.

Whiffed

- Bryce would lose his starting job and be gone in 2025.

- Jalen Coker was another Huddle UDFA pipe dream.

- The OL would be significantly worse than expected after the offseason signings.

- Jaycee Horn would miss significant time during the season due to injury.

I stuck with Vegas at 4.5 wins.

Agreed on overall talent. Have not changed that opinion for 7 years now.

Same on the rookie draft class.

Same on Colbert.

Whiffed on:

Bryce being done here.

Coker being anything special. 

Defense being a push from last year.

Chubba breaking 1000 yrds for the season. 

Bo Nix (so far)

Yeah, I was also not high on Nix. It sucks he is doing well. Nothing against him, obviously but fug Denver and fug Pill Payton.

I called between 4 and 6 wins and wanted to see improvement the second half of the season while being competitive in games we lose.

We have done both things. That's all I wanted. This was a house money year for Dave and Dan. I am satisfied. Build on it, get to 7-9 wins next season while being in the fight for a wildcard spot.

There's hope for the first time in years.

Depends on how the ball bounces and luck of a season. 

Somewhere between 3-5 wins.

Nice!

Season: 4-13

Offense will improve slightly with Bryce playing better but not enough to convince fans and pundits that he is "The Guy." OL proves disappointing as injuries eventually become a factor.

Defense takes a step back, as the lack of depth and talent stand out. Not a precipitous drop off but noticeable as the season progresses.

Canales gives us a glimmer of hope but the offseason/draft moves temper that by proving to be a very mixed bag that sows doubt about Morgan's ability to improve enough upon the mess Fitterer left.

 

That's my overall season prediction.

 

Damn, that was more accurate than I remembered. The OL and "not precipitous drop off" are obviously way off.

I was/am still disgruntled about how bad the 2024 draft was. 

I was a Bryce guy pre-draft but I had admittedly lost all faith in him after last year. He doesn't have me completely back but I like what I see. It just has to keep getting better and I will be back.

found the bigger thread.  

O takes a step forward

D a step backwards

End result is a team that is picking in the top 10.  Who knows how the ball bounces.  I'd say about 5ish wins.

my 3-5 verbiage obvious better in the other thread though

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Bryce averaged 208 yards per game with a 61% completion since coming back.  How is that top 10?

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Actually,  what lines up with your ideas he is too short or small to be successful.? His passing completions or total yards? Bryce is going into his 13th game with a legitimate offense and good offensive coach. And during that time he went from the worst qb in the league to top 10 by the end of the year based on game production against a number of playoff teams.  And he showed that he can lead comebacks and score under pressure at the end of the game and overtime. He stayed cool under pressure and was one of the best against the blitz by year end. That is the holy grail in quarterback traits and Bryce went from crumbling under pressure to stepping up and delivering strikes down the field. Maybe it is me but those kind of qualities far out weigh a few inches or a few pounds here and there.  Everyone holds their breath when he get whacked by a 350lb linemen and exhales when he magically arises seemingly unfazed. And yeah when he is backpedalling and tosses one out there as if it is random only to float into Thielen's hand it seems just luck. Kind of like Russell Wilson years ago. But I think you are letting your past rob you of enjoying what I hope is happening which is the development of our franchise guy. And for the record I am all about bringing in competition  at all positions including quarterback.
