DB: I've got full confidence in Tony being able to lead an NFL team. The only thing I see standing in his way is if he'll get a chance and if the offensive scheme uses his talents to move the pocket and find open receivers. I could see Tony holding a clipboard for a couple of seasons and then being in position to make a move to a starter's role

I'm still a little pissed about this draft pick, but it was a sixth-round pick, so whatever.

I just don't get why the front office went quarterback-crazy when our starting quarterback (Moore) has looked worlds better than Delhomme of the last two years. I like the Clausen pick, and I recognize that it and the Pike pick were great values, but at the same time how many young quarterbacks are you going to keep? It's especially frustrating with the recent praise of Cantwell.

I think the FO is worried about the little things Moore does that defenses might figure out when they have tape on him and can study...

Ive heard this before, but dont know what to make of it. Can you or someone else elaborate on this? Is he telegraphing plays or something?

I think what she might be trying to say is Matt Moore hasnt had a full season yet. Once he starts playing games the teams will have more tape on him and since the FO doesnt think as highly of him as we do that they know something about him that we dont. Not sure what that might be because I havent heard anything about such things.

I think that's fair and it's always good to have depth, but under Fox we had drafted, what, like two quarterbacks? At least in regards to the quarterback position, Fox has been very reactionary. Instead of bring in depth a couple years ago, the front office decides to draft 2.5 in one single draft, and that's after Moore looked damn good last year and Cantwell seems to be a promising "experiment." I can understand keeping our options open, but this is ridiculous. I wish they were that worried about the defensive line.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
