Less ye forget...

lest ye forget -- half of those starters got cut

and davis is injured, beason is moving to weakside, connor is starting at middle linebacker... our entire defensive line is completely new minus brayton. and since moose retired, there's no proven wide receiver for Moore to go to when Smith is tripple covered. with fingers crossed, let's hope DJ can really step it up. but we'll see...

Damn.

The Don is pretty quick to point out these changes as negative. I agree that win streaks from season to season are ridiculous, especially under the circumstances of NO playing scrubs and us not even going to the post season.

However, I think these changes were largely necessary and are for the most part positive and at the very least intriguing. This will be the most interesting season since 2003 IMO.

What in the hell about the last several season's starters and potential would instill the slightest bit of confidence anyway?

yeah, davis played a HUGE role in that win streak didn't he? i wonder how they will recover from losing him.

oh yeah, brown and johnson sat on the bench for the whole game every game. how many proven receivers did moore have to go to when smitty broke his arm?

he will also have both RBs back in top health. he will have smith back. he will have more targets. he will have his Oline back. that defense, though with a bunch of new parts, will have the luxury of learning their roles and some familiarity of meeks not-so-new system. oh...and special teams...not going to suck as much. all the makings for good field position no matter which side of the ball takes the field.

lots of reasons to feel good about the season but go ahead....focus on that negative. lots of stuff to build on and that is the big thing for this year.

    • Just to clarify: I'm not arguing that height or footwork can’t affect QB play. I'm asking how those concerns translate into measurable, consistent outcomes. That’s the standard we should be applying to all QBs, not just Bryce. If height is such a limitation, then we'd expect to see elevated batted passes or poor pressure evasion. Yet none of that shows up in the data. Bryce was one of the lowest in the league for batted passes and his 16.9 pressure-to-sack ratio is good enough for 9th out of all QBs with 300+ dropbacks. So if you believe footwork tied to height is a meaningful issue, what metric shows that because two that would aren't doing so? This isn't about denying flaws. It's about applying fair, consistent standards because otherwise we’re not evaluating performance which means that it's not analysis taking place... it's just going off of the vibes that somebody has consciously decided on. Citing one red zone play you remember doesn't provide that consistent standard. I don't say that to dismiss your memory, but to emphasize that anecdotal evidence (especially from an avowed skeptic) shouldn’t carry more weight than consistent tape or analytics. For example, there was recently dissonance over Bryce's deep ball accuracy where it was implied that he was inaccurate throwing 20+ yards. Yet, the data and film show otherwise. And I unfortunately have to still ask since you won't directly answer: What specific metrics do you believe matter when evaluating whether a QB is top-10? You've mentioned YPA and passing yards per game, and that's fair. If that's what you're prioritizing, then let's call that your criteria but clarity matters because it prevents moving goalposts when the data doesn’t match one's expectations. I appreciate the response and hope that your holiday weekend goes well also. ❤️
    • Me too. I got other things I can do. Tie it up 2-2 and I will be back, but Im tired of watching us get swept.
