It’s the right formula for our QB1, but for a former number one overall pick whom we traded the farm for, I don’t think I can accept that (yet). I

I agree that we overpaid, but and elated that he and Canales are starting to figure it out. I posted last week that I don't think that they're a good match for one another, hope they feed me a big ole plate of crow.

I'll still never understand that pick. Going into the season planning on Corbett starting at center made no sense. Switching positions, coming off injury, not that good anyway. Just take a center and be done. Pressure up the middle is a QB killer.

Thats under the properly executing column. I think they kinda got a little ahead of themselves with a couple of picks. They missed sight of the ultimate goal in restocking a depleted team with the best available players. I'm hoping that's changed with this draft class. Early results are trending in the right direction.

Yeah. I though that high value placed on a pass catcher at RB showed what Canales thought was necessary to help the QB he had. And what separated Brooks from the pack, to him. That was a Canales pick more than a Morgan pick, in my mind.

Bryce is playing better and more confident within the confines of our system and within the confines of his abilities

I think I agree with that.

I tend to agree on the Canales influence with that pick but I could be totally wrong. That draft was all Dan and Dave so who knows. This last draft seemed to be all Dan and Tillis with his new PFF nerds setting up the menu for them.

To put this performance into perspective, this Dallas defense gave up 450 yards and 3 TDs to Russell Wilson who’s since been benched in favor of a jobber from 1995 wrestlemania

I always looked at that through the lens of a mandate to make the QB not fail. 
That was Job 1. The highest priority when considering a decision. 

I was a Ryan Khalil fan, he was a great asset.  As such, I’m a fan of having a quality C (my dad was a C in college, too so it comes with the genes I guess).

The catch that I saw was simply that they did not want to have a rookie learning curve there with the QB being so much in need of support. Don’t put too much on Bryce’s plate… get him a pass catching RB instead. 
All about propping up the QB. 

I wouldn’t say I defend the decision, more like I see the thought process behind it.

Clearly the theme year one was offense. I think Dan would reasonably defer to an offensive specialist in that scenario. 
Year two Dan got to do his thing mostly.
 

Seems like ‘keep it simple stupid’ KISS or Occam’ Razor in action, when looking for the key to the ‘why’ of things.

OP, Rico is playing well. He's what Brooks is supposed to be - may still be - some day. He has been making the most of plays where he isn't touched until the secondary. Chuba isn't that type of back. Now if we get into a dawg fight where every yard is a struggle, then Chuba probably the better choice. 

Bryce played really well yesterday. He missed a couple of throws all game. I think folk are looking for him to throw more fly routes. And I think he could throw a little more, but we don't have the WRs for that. Jimmy Horn has the speed and quickness to take a few shots a game. Every other WR's deep ball proficiency is limited to jump balls and defensive mishaps. Can't ask a QB to throw more deep passes if that's not the strength of his receivers.

That is the uncomfortable part of the truth, but I am going soft on it because we have seen similar scenarios where we didn’t do poo against bad teams. 
And we are still in tne 24 hour rule window, and people’s feels are so fragile.

Incredible. Teams are going to stack the box, let’s see if young can capitalize.

I agree Bryce played well yesterday. And I've said all a long what we were missing is more 15-20ish yard completions (which Bryce was I think 4/6 on yesterday, pretty good).

But the fact we don't go deep more often is very clearly not because of our receivers... TMac routinely beats his guys deep. When he isn't crazy fuging open, Bryce has often missed him. And when he or others are crazy open they do need to slow down for Bryce. I am less concerned with 40 yard bombs, personally, and we have the personnel to threaten 20 yards down field regularly, so hopefully that continues.

Now Bryce escaped pressure very well and found the open players. He spread the ball around well. I'm happy he did well and I hope that is more about him and our offense than the Cowboys.

Why does it upset you so much? 

there’s plenty of thread from people getting excited about third string tight ends if that’s more your speed. 

You've been this way since you were Fiz. Lighten up a bit.
