Dan needs to churn

Well, it's not like a newsflash that we need depth. But after today, I think it may be worse than we imagined. Talking about churning the bottom of the roster, hell we probably need to do a little more than "the bottom." It's reminiscent of last preseason as far as I'm concerned. Dan Morgan needs to be extra active during final cuts,  and perhaps remake---at least reimagine some position groups at the backup level.

IDK why people consistently fight against the idea that this is the 2nd worst roster in franchise history.

It just is what it is. No reason to freak out.

Evaluate the players in 2025, move on.

I mean, I can't say that people are  "consistently fighting" against the idea as much as we're waiting to see how things turn out, especially in regards to rookies and second-year players. I mean, if we blow, we blow, but I ain't 100 percent accepting that we're going to suck based on a few preseason snaps. I have way too much experience watching the NFL for that. Hell, some guys ain't even playing in earnest yet.

You can't have credibility about churning the bottom of the roster and retain Dalton and Plummer. 

Yeah, that's kind of the point, but we must remember that we were so gutted as far as talent that rebuilding will take extra effort and won't happen overnight.

The last time we only scored one touchdown in preseason, 2010. 
 

Game three better be right or we are screwed again, and Bryce is gone. 
 

unpopular take, see what the Browns want for Shedeur. Run him as third QB for the year, see what you have with him next year. If he doesn’t work out, he doesn’t work out but if he does, you basically offset some of the cost to get Bryce. 
 

I know it’s preseason and I’m trying not to overreact but it doesn’t look good fellas.

Maybe the entire issue is……all the Fitterer era folks shouldn’t still be running the show.  Which they are. 

Fit was just Tepper's yes man and fall guy

but its hard to build a good roster when you trade away all those first and second round picks/DJ Moore for Bryce and then use the remaining draft picks on TMJ, Mingo, DJ johnson, Matt Corral

It's insane to be trading for a #3 QB. 

Ride this out, move on to 2026.

Well unfortunately there isn't much to actually churn because if we're being honest Dan hasn't exactly been great at drafting. I mean every year we look at our picks and put on our homer shades but he really isn't breaking the mold after the disaster that was Scott Fitterer. And as bad as Fitterer was it's not a good sign that even he made a better attempt at bringing in QB competition over the years than Dan did this year. Now that stings.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.

      Schrader / Jeremiah mock draft experiment

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      Sadiq feels like a lazy comp.  Sure he would be a big improvement over what we have but at a position we don't and maybe can't (midget qb) utilize.  I hope the staff puts together a list of players you automatically take at 19 (Freeling, Lemon, Downs, Faulk) and if none are there, trade back to look at (Thieneman, McNeil-Warren, Proctor, Lomu, Allen, Iheanachor, Banks, Woods).  I get the people that think an OT would be a waste because we temporarily patched that hole, and ILB and safety are a waste because that is high to take those particular positions, but by trading back we get extra picks to fill every need.  A draft that has an OT, S, ILB, slot WR, and C would really put us in a good position moving forward if we get an extra first three rounds additional pick.
