Nobody is scared of Bryce throwing the ball. That makes a huge difference on our lack of a run game

I'm not a Bryce supporter but he did pass for 60 more yards than Mayfield. If the inability to pass throttles running game then  we should have locked down their running game.

You may be referring to lack of arm talent.  I've blamed Bryce for several losses but our OL should get a game ball from the Bucs.

I wouldn't typically call this out, but the amount of people wanting to keep Dowdle after his boom stretch was insane.  He is nothing special and will be 28 next year.  Next.  

Hubbard kind of blows.  We have an out this offseason with him, I see it taken.  Next.  

Onto another attempt at a committee.

Draft/FA/Brooks/Etienne

This. We need a true, consistent threat in the backfield. We don't have it yet.

Rico looked unstoppable for a month, and Chuba has his moments, but no team fears our running backs.

Mayfield outgains Rico and Chuba.

Bucs outgain Panthers at a 20:1 ratio on the ground.

It's not Rico / It's not Chuba - Our OL could not move a stick of butter an inch across a red hot griddle.  Our DL wasn't much better - just pushed all over field throughout the game.  Bryce didn't lose this one, we were beat in the trenches - again.

It was bad but not quite that bad. More like 7:1

That’s where I am. There are games that are Bryce’s fault. Today was not one of them. He misses some plays, but no more than quite a few LBs/DBs/kicker/OL/WR/RB/cosches.

and, ultimately, if he threw for 400 yards and 5 TDs, 100 of those yards and 2-3 of those TDs would’ve just been called back for “holding” or “OPI”.

I wasn't really seeing what made Hubbard special to give him a pretty sweet contract.  I wasn't against re-signing him, but I was thinking more along the lines of a RB2 deal (because that's what he really is) instead of a RB1 contract.  In short, we overpaid...per normal.

    • Nobody is saying we don't need it, just that we have bigger needs elsewhere, and that type of WR is actually something that is often found in the mid rounds, you just have to scout and evaluate properly. Here's another way of looking at why WR in the 1st shouldn't even be considered an option. Looking only at players currently on the team, what position group would you feel strongest about 4 years from now? I'm not sure there is a better answer there than WR, as you have to think T-Mac is our best player on the team in 4 years, with Coker not far behind. Our OL is too old to be considered, my opinions on Bryce is well known, Hubbard will be done by then and the rest of the RB is an unknown, Off-ball LB is maybe our biggest need, we only have 1 legit safety, it's certainly not TE, and our 2nd best CB right now will be 33 by then.   Brown should still be a beast as he'll only be 31, but nobody else on the DL projects to be that good in 4 years.  Edge rusher with Phillips, Scourton, and Princely is probably the only other possible answer than WR. So yes, that fast/shifty type of WR is 100% a need of ours, but we have so many other bigger needs both in the immediate and future, that to me, taking a WR in the 1st for the 3rd year in a row and having hit on another WR in the same time frame, just makes zero sense both currently and looking into the future.
    • Laughing at Slayton (Mooney or Calvin Austin III), but telling me that Coker is the next best thing since sliced bread...You laughing at Theo Johnson in reference to our guys too? LOL No one in their right mind thinks Nabers is anything but a stud (definitely top 10 if not 5 potential). You do realize that Thomas was in a new system with a furst-time coach last year (with a questionable QB to boot)? And yet still, it's possible that he eclipses even T-mac (not saying that he will). They didn't even mention Travis Hunter. In any event, we're not in the top half. Draft another legit receiver, and we will be. 
    • Absolutely, very fair assessment of the team.
