The ONLY reason it is not a big drop is because Beason is playing beside him.

That is total BS. Conner is very limited as a LB except for playing the Mike. He may end up being a better Mike than Beason.

Beason came into the league playing the Will and I think the only reason why Davis was moved to the Will last year was because Diggs just didn't have the speed anymore. It would not surprise me at all if Davis comes back after week 7 to see him move back to the Sam, where he had a great year in 08, and leave Beason and Conner at their current positions.

I was surprised that Godfrey & Brown weren't mentioned either. Godfrey looks very comfortable at SS, and seems to enjoy being able to come up and lay a hit on somebody or stay back in coverage. Brown was WORKING LTs this preseason, which as we all know is just preseason, but I really think Everette Brown is going to flourish under Beason's leadership and just where he is at overall.

Tony Fiametta is looking more comfortable also, especially now that the team is utilizing the pass more. I think he likes to go out there and catch balls more than he does blocking, but I think if he gets a pass thrown his way now and again he'll gladly go out and plow the field.

I hated Jarrett his first two years, but last year I decided to give him a fair shot. With the way Delhomme played, I didn't find it very fair to keep those games from him. This year, I think is the perfect situation. DJ knows that Brandon LaFell is ready and waiting to take his job, and on top of that the David Gettis Experience is showing that he's not to be overlooked either. He's got the first four games to prove to me that he deserved to be taken over Kenny Moore, let alone when he was drafted.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
