And yet people can’t understand why we can’t pull off back to back winnning seasons.  It’s not hard to figure out.   It’s probably the most simple problem I have seen.  Draft Tigers, not Gamecocks.  Science.  

*FAs don’t count.  Not science.  We have done that before.  Hopefully this one is better than that last experiment 

As an Auburn fan I think we need to keep going with real tigers. Cam and DB worked out pretty good…

I’m okay with Auburn Tigers.  Pretty solid when going that route.  Especially first rounders

Well... we're still not sure about the #1 WR either. That's a lot of expectations for a rookie that hasn't taken an NFL snap yet. And a couple of 2nd year guys that are expected to show major improvement.

Last year's group showed potential. But if we're being honest, they were probably the worst in the NFL. 

Edit: But I love your optimism!!!

In fairness, Cam won a MVP and took us to a super bowl with no WR1 to speak of.

We had our close losses last year to playoff teams. Ill take winning any day. Fug a couple draft spots. Gimme a couple more wins and a playoff berth all day

It (normally) takes a few seasons of playoff appearance and knocking on the door to win a championship. It’s very rare a team pops up out of no where and wins a Super Bowl, they’ve usually been hanging around in the playoffs a few years before but there are notable exceptions. You gotta build it. If the Panthers made the playoffs and lost in the first round I’d be very happy about the future

I'm not sure what they are calling catchable, but alot of those passes by BY were not good passes.  I hope he improves this year but his passes over 20 yards needs work

Definitely looks that way when 40% of the passes are uncatchable. That would mean that 14 of those 35 passes would not be catchable. But for perspective, these are the rankings they've shown thus far in the top-10:

  • 1. Michael Penix Jr (77% on 13 attempts)
  • 2. Anthony Richardson (76% on 33 attempts)
  • 4. Brock Purdy (69% on 32 attempts)
  • 5. Dak Prescott (68% on 22 attempts)
  • 6. Joe Burrow (66% on 35 attempts)
  • t10. Bryce Young (60% on 35 attempts)
  • t10. Baker Mayfield (60% on 35 attempts)

People got upset when XL dropped a TD, but there were several times he was wide open downfield and BY threw a horrible pass.  No more excuses for Bryce

I don't think we're in a position to be dunking on other QB's yet. I mean Caleb Williams and the Bears took our lunch money and dunked our heads in a toilet then stuffed us in a locker last season and CJ Stroud sophomore slump or not had one of the best rookie seasons for a QB in a long time.

Let's see Bryce and this offense at work on the road in their first two games and then maybe we can think about trying to thump our chests at the rest of the NFL if we look the part.

Honestly just glancing at those numbers, I’m just happy about the attempts. Looks like he was on par with Baker who is known to push the ball down field. I hope this trend continues and really opens up our whole offense. 
Side note, Penix only having 13 attempts and most were probably against our 3rd stringers that last game should exclude him IMO.

Cam was generational. He could have been the GOAT. Every team was afraid that "if he put it all together" he would be unstoppable. I'm not sure Young will ever be thought of in that light. Not many in the league will. But to be fair, Cam had a defense that could carry the team some games.

The downside to Cam for us is that he was so good at carrying an offense that it made our already defensive minded brain trust feel like they could just focus on building a D and let Cam just carry the offense.

I would've loved to have seen what prime Cam could've done with a top tier offensive roster but alas.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
