Have you noticed a change in our competitiveness since we pumped money into our OL? 

The OL has certainly been better than the trainwreck it was three or four years ago.

As far as competitiveness let's apply some realism and clarity here. Quite a bit of the competitiveness in 2025 came from the defensive side of the ball which gave up the most points in league history the year before and was one of the bottom 5 units in terms of salary cap allocation for 2025 while the OL was top 3.

We had the 26th passing offense last year. And if not for a herculean couple of games from Rico Dowdle we don't back our way into the division title or make the playoffs because we went 4-6 in our final ten games including being swept by the Saints who were starting a rookie 2nd round pick most of us mercilessly mocked when they selected him.

In conclusion yes we've seen a difference. The question now is will the investment pay off the way we want. But the only way that happens is if we field a top 15 offense. If we can't even crack the top 20 then there need to be some very warm seats across the board. And I would hope just about anyone here should agree with that.

Bryce has had a couple of games where he top fifteened it.  
 

Realize, to be close to top ten he has to do that 4 quarters, probably 15 times with a couple of stinkers thrown in where he is off that day. The good ones, almost all have inexplicable bad days. But overall you have to perform at a high level, dependably, to rate high like that. 
 

So that’s what it takes. Otherwise it is a low to mid 20s and people that just can’t do better after a few chances are backups.

I think Bryce is about to become a top 10-15 QB for the next decade.

List your Top 10 youngish QB’s, including college guys, and include Bryce in there with a straight face.

Josh, Lamar, Drake, Burrow, Mahomes, Jayden, Herbert, CJ, Caleb, Trevor, Love, Purdy, Nix, Hurts, Goff, Baker, Sam, Dak, Mendoza……..

Bryce Young isn’t a top 20 quarterback right now and certainly won’t be top-10 in 10 years.  I sure hope our front office is smarter than that.
