Uninjured he was seen as one by some teams, certainly early second. Especially pre injury. So not sure what you’re babbling about.

There are 60+ guys who were seen by some teams as a 1st rounder before the draft process starts. Greg Little was a top 15 pick before the combine. Malik Willis and Matt Corral and Levis were all seen as 1st rounders at some point early in the draft process.

Unfortunately, we got spooked by the Cowboys maybe wanting Brooks and took him way too early. Hurney did the same with Little and grabbed the falling sword when Little had been dropped from most top 50 lists. Fitterer jumps on TMJ thinking the Saints will nab him. Fitterer said we considered Corral a potential 1st rounder too.

We were the only ones thinking Brooks was worth the risk and as usual we were wrong. Brooks was never healthy during any of the real draft process so your oh he was ranked a first rounder when healthy by others is just comfort food for our mistake. We were likely the only team that thought anything like that since it’s our history and he wasn’t. If he went in this draft with an ACL, he makes it to the 4th. We fell on the sword and now the deep 2025 RB class will all have a year of experience in the NFL before Brooks and still not be close to his injury risk. Someone in here said we probably don’t need him in 2026, so we’ve got folks already thinking we might get 1 year out of a 2nd round pick.

He'll be 23 for '26 season .. Brooks could still prove to be a great pick

He will never be a great pick. We lost 2 of 4 years already and Hubbard is now under contract for the last two years. The 2025 RB draft class is super deep and day 3 of the 2024 draft had several solid rookies.

There’s literally no way he can be a great pick. The huddle liked the Cs and CBs and Sainristill and Frazier were the guys we discussed taking as the next guys up where we took Brooks. We’re likely taking another RB in the draft this year as well because we have to now.

I think they made the wrong decision. My point was they got caught with their hand in the cookie jar, many would have said it was smart had he played well this year..I would not have. Taking risks is not what teams trying to rebuild should do. Not really sure why you are even quoting me as it wasn't cover for them. fug them and fug you.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
