The Doctor is in ... Zod's season prognosis...

This is a little odd, I haven't been to camp, but I would have thought Rivera would have made camp a little more serious, since he is a "no nonsense" kind of guy.

I am just wanting to see this team get better, and see Cam progress through the season.

As of now, I am going to say 7-9

With all due deference to our esteemed Emperor Zod, I hope you are wrong. Perhaps blind homerism is my chief character flaw, but I have to believe we can do better than that. I say six, possibly seven wins. Lax camp or not, a hugely improved O-line, a pounding set of RBs, and a linebacking corps that acts like wolves just introduced to red meat for the first time lead me to believe they have six or seven wins in them.

Will be checking out camp in the next few days and will be seeing if it stays the same. Different coaches do different things. Fox already ran a pretty serious camp with lots of physicality but based on the 3 winning seasons in 9 years it is hard to say that is more effective than one that is more laid back.

I suspect that the new rules are affecting camp and they all are less physical and more about board work and walk throughs. It will also be interesting to see if things change in the event we play poorly in preseason.

In any event I think that 5-11 is a safe bet at this point. Hard to expect more with the youth at such critical positions and short time to get prepared.

    • We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.
    • Bryce’s deep passes are intermediate passes for other strong armed QBs. I will say that Bryce’s accuracy on his deep passes have improved. Before they would just sail out of bounds. Now the WR actually has a fighting chance on the ball. 
    • And Dilfer won a SB, idc. Almost impossible to miss the playoffs when you have that good of a defense
