Let veteran go (Beurlein/Delhomme) in favor of young guy with potential (Lewis/Moore) who doesn't even play (almost.....)

2001 draft was excellent (Smitty, Jenkins, Dan Morgan, even Jarrod Cooper)and I think 2010 may turn out that way as well, with Gettis, LaFell, Hardy, and Pugh.

seifert wasn't a lame duck coach. he got fired at the end of the season. lame duck knows ahead of time they are moving on and have no reason to be concerned about the future of the organization.

dallas and cincy scored less points than the panthers and there were 5 teams with a worse passing offense and 2 teams with a worse rushing offense. this year you have a better case for the worst offense in the league....not of the decade, just for the year.

i do think we have more talent on this team, though. it will be easier for the pieces to come together than last time.

Definitely easier this time around.

This team looks like they are being handcuffed. The talent is on the roster, but not being used. The 2001 team had more upside. This team has the talent to win now.

If the 02 team could start 3-0 with Rodney Peete at QB, this team should have won at least 2 with Clausen at QB.

      Noah Fant? "Perfect fix?" More like imperfect fix.

      He has been a starter most of his career.  Why does anyone thing he would willing come here to be our 3rd TE?

      I've liked him since his rookie year as a prospect, but when he's been asked to play in a large capacity, he has simply not done well.   He does not really add anything, rather muddies up the room.  Fant is TERRIBLE as a blocker, a pure receiving TE.   Let's just put Tremble aside since he's PUP (although I still like him as a TE2, but yeah he's not our future starter)... Sanders has already shown better receiving skills than a Fant and has a nice ceiling.  Not to mention, he's got in-line run blocking skills.  I really want to see what he's capable of this year.  Also has a year+ experience now in Canales' offense, not to mention legit chemistry with Bryce. And after Sanders, I also imagine our staff is waiting to see how Mitchell Evans looks in camp as he's got the in-line blocking skills.  If he looks fully capable of filling in behind Sanders, then I don't see a need.  Overall, keep an eye out on early August moves.  They are usually soft indicators of how staff's view their rookie late rounders and roster overall.  This is a wait and see what the market presents and how they think their unit looks in camp.

      Every team has different needs of the backup QB.   On some teams a young hopeful makes sense and on others an old worn out dude makes sense.  We are a little more in the in-between IMO where you probably would prefer a Fields, Pickett, Howell type IMO.   So a young disappoint that you there is still some hail mary hope in.....given BY essentially was benched both seasons for performance (I know that's not the official line going into Seattle but I think most would agree he got a break and should of been benched later that year).  I know we want Bryce to be the week 17 guy all season this upcoming year.  But it's still in the reasonable thought process that the other dude could show back up.
