Well, one is a rookie, one is a tier 2 QB that is trending towards tier 3 with their current OC. The other two are elite.

One is the rookie we thought we'd get...he'll be great...like we had with Cam.... but Qbs matter mightily... you have to surround them with talent tho. Its still a team sport.

IMO, there are really only about 2-4 elite qb's in the NFL right now.  Mahomes, Burrow, Allen, and maybe Jackson.  And a few others that could become elite.  Getting an elite qb is one of the hardest things to do in the NFL.    

And only one of those elite QBs actually has a ring. One might get a chance soon, but it's also possible they'll end their careers without ever getting the top prize. Fans and media get so obsessed about QBs to where it's as though having an elite guy is your only way in. It helps, certainly, but I think it's more having the QB who can actually play good enough in the playoffs. Even for some elite guys, they crumble under this pressure.

Ummm...

Terry McLaurin, Zach Ertz, Bryan Robinson, Ekeler, Dyami Brown and Jamison Crowder.

LOLOLOLOLOL

Mclaurin is his best wr no doubt 82 rec 12 tds good year for sure and would be comparable to Theilen for a  qb

Ertz - eh, pretty basic for a te a 13 year vet that has gone over 1000 once.  Meh

Brown - gtfo 30 catches this year

crowder - 9 whole catches.  Holy poo he moves the needle

Robinson/eckler - 55 catches between the 2 - come on man

 

daniels has put this team on his back and won despite having one legit weapon

They've gotten some solid production out of Olamide Zaccheaus and Noah Brown as well, but yea McLaurin, Ertz, and Ekeler alone are proven NFL playmakers. All three of those guys are savvy vets that are great security blankets for a rookie QB.

I'm interested to see if Jayden can continue making plays with his legs after leading the team in rushing this season because that's going to be a tough wrinkle for opposing DCs to deal with.

Its sad that you even had to break this down, I love how people just throw out names without even checking the stats.

    • Well, they're both in the same league (if you will). During preseason, Fitz went 3/3 & Sauls went 5/6, but of course Sauls was 4/4 last night (including one 50+). Both were Lou Groza Award finalists. I believe Fitz made two 55+ yarders last season, while Sauls led the nation with three. Fitz was 13/13 (💯) while Sauls was 21/24 (87.5). Fitz was a 3rd-Team AP All-American, while Sauls was a PFF All-American.  Career-wise, Fitz was 58/74 (78.4), while Sauls was 52/64 (81.3). I wish that I could see the attempts and knew the depth of yardage. I wish that we could compare practice kicks during their training camps, but we can't. Maybe someone with a PFF/CFF account can give that Basically it's just a matter of belief I guess. Seeing dude knock down four FGs and go perfect during a pressure-filled game for him is damned impressive if you ask me. I don't believe that Fitzgerald could do that.  That being said, I'd have to know more. I will say that it may be worth mentioning that we seem to like PFF this year and Sauls being a PFF All-American may be notable. Now that being said, the Panthers may not be even considering Sauls.
    • Ive said it 1000x times on here.  Our 2025 season will be dictated by the first 4 games.  poo the bed there and lose all confidence and momentum, we win 5 games maybe.  Go 2-2, 3-1 we got a look at 7/8 wins
    • I basically made almost the exact predictions on a phone call with a buddy about 3 weeks ago. I really do expect Evero gone before the seasons end, Young to just not able to get over the hump enough and DC to head into next season on a VERY hot seat.
