I remember even 3rd and 15+ felt doable with Cam. Now anything 3rd and 8+ seems like an automatic punt. 

3rd and 15 seems doable with any competent QB, not just Cam.  But we're not dealing with competence here right now.

I just hope we don't run up the score on them.  That is tacky.

 

Seriously, I would throw at Horn before Jackson.

It’s 3rd and 4, we know they are throwing and we put CSW on Evans? Does Horn even have a real role in the pass defense? If you are going to play man for a play, WTF isn’t Horn, our pro-bowler on Evans?

This game is awful.

Just bc they have big contracts doesn’t mean they are playmakers 

 

the offense has plenty of talent. Excellent backs, excellent line, serviceable WRs, the only place that really needs an upgrade is TE and the whole qb room. 

lol no it doesn’t 

“excellent line” they’re bottom half in league in pass pro. Run game success rate is bottom half since start of second half

Neither back is a playmaker catching the ball 

Serviceable WR? Sure. It’s 2026 you need better than serviceable in order to compete with the best

    • I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.  
    • Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.  
    • The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
