For the life of me i can not understand why we have not made a trade for wr .i watched all the pre season and came to the conclusion lafell and edwards are 3rd stringers @ best. clausen cant win games with this guys. i say we throw d will on the block . stewart is the better back this point in his career. les make a move dammit!

This is why you're not the owner of this team.

But in all seriousness, you can't say Gettis and Lafell are only #3s at this point. Its been 2 games and its not like they have had a lot of balls thrown their way. Give them time. If by the end of the season, they're not making SOME kind of impact, then maybe we can talk about this. But there have been somewhere between 34 and 56839 threads about this since the last preseason game. We're not trading for anybody. Get used to it, man.

In the past 10 years.....how many drafted WRs were actually #2 caliber there rookie year. The safe bet is that they aren't going to be that this year.

but it doesn't matter. We are just playing a waiting game anyway. 14 more Fox games to go. Watching the young guys grow is what we have to look forward to.

okay i may be jumpin the gun a bit but u mean to tell me that we couldnt of used pat crayton i guy who was shopped for a 7th round pick ! a guy who has been a solid receiver for the most part of his career. the point im tryin to make is if jimmys our future we need to build the offense around him and not be such a heavy run team. we have stability at the rb position so we can afford to lose one.

Since when is it such a bad thing for an NFL franchise to develop their own players, instead of trading away draft picks for FA's? Does anybody here really believe that Vincent Jackson would have won this team a Superbowl this season, and would anything less than a Superbowl victory justify what they would have to give up to get a WR of that calibre?

People can bitch and moan about this all they want, but no trade is gonna make us world champs this year, and if we're gonna have to wait a year or two for it to happen, then why not do it with our own draft picks?

      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.
