The lower they rate us, the better I like it.

I like it for the odds when I bet but other then that I hate it with a passion when people under rate us, can nobody else in the world understand without delhomme we have a awesome passing game? our defense isnt bad and yet we still get thrown under the bus, every damn year!!!

Well... if you're a true fan, like I am, you rank them in the top 5 (or #1 but I'll say top 5 just for discussion). I have them going 13-3, only losing to Baltimore, @ New Orleans, and @ Pittsburgh. Probably losing to the Vikings in the NFC Championship game, as it would be a home game should Favre return.. which means I have them ranked higher than the Panthers, finishing the season at 14-2.

I know some of you are probably asking, why is this idiot seriously even considering this? Well, if you think back over the past eight or so seasons that John Fox has coached here, he's brought in youth, and veterans have taught these young players how to play the game in short periods of time. Yes, we've lost a lot of veteran leadership this offseason, but we've also retained a large amount of young "veteran" talent that all already have at least three or four seasons under their belt. The 3rd year is usually where you see a lot of their talent flourish. Although they may not be in their 3rd year exactly, guys like Beason, Godfrey, Gamble, Davis and even Tyler Brayton on defense all ring bells. Guys like Gross, Moore, Otah, D. Williams, obviously Steve Smith, and Jonathan Stewart (in particularly). Yes, we have holes, but scattered across the board, with enough young veteran players to pick up the slack. 13-3 is not hard to imagine, considering we went 12-4 with Delhomme at the helm, going through a 22nd ranked schedule in 2008 before his Tommy Jon arm went ratard on him.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
