No disrespect to JBro, thanks for letting us know, but am I the only one who is kind of at the point that you just don't care what any of our guys have to say right now?

Props to Connor for playing awesome both games, he's looking great... Blowing people up in the backfield almost every play... But idk, maybe I'm just annoyed and I don't wanna hear the PC stuff that our players will say b/c JR's greedy ass has a franchise-induced gag order on them.

I was pissed yesterday, but what the hell is the point really? I guess we all had unrealistic expectations for this team anyway. Maybe next year they can redeem themselves if there is actually a season and JR will decide to spend more than 20 dollars on new players.

Yeah, I think my attitude this year is so different than it has been any other year b/c I think I finally reached my boiling point with the nonchalant attitude of the front office, with the saying a lot of words that mean nothing, with the lack of direction, with the consistent inconsistency... I'm just tired of it. I don't want to hear anymore interviews. I want to see results.

I kind of see the interviews as teasers to keep you tuned in, like the ones women get for soap operas, and I'm not a fan of soap operas.

Not all. This is not a surprize to me at all, which is why I have a problem with so many people trashing our players. So many were putting pressure on Smith too. I called it that he was not going to be enough and would not be our Savior.

And some told me that his broken arm would not affect his mentality but in fact if you read his comments from the last couple of games you can tell that's on his mind all the time now.

Having said that, I still care what the players have to say, and more than ever. THIS IS the time when we should be paying attention. And Dan Connor, to me looks like he could be another team leader on defense. Guy looked great out there. I like him.

I am actually really interested in how this re-building process progresses and what Jimmy can offer us. It's a glimpse into the future.

    • 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.
    • 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
