For all the bad things that have happened

Do we forget so easily?

1.) We were 12-4 last season

2.) We have a franchise Left Tackle

3.) We have arguably the best Running Back and Wide Receiver in the league

4.) We have Jon Beason

5.) All of our awesome Rookies are a year more experienced (Otah, Stewart)

6.) Trgovac is gone!

7.) Hurney and Fox are some of the best drafters in the league

We have so many things to be happy about. :)

Don't forget Jerry's new heart. In all seriousness, I was worried about what could have happened if JR was to have not survived his recent medical scare.

I love where we are as a franchise and see a solid foundation that will lead to long term, sustainable success. Is everything perfect? Of course not, but we'll contend again in '09.

Don't let Sam Mills Fan in here then... :lol:

This whole thread is cracking me up. Sure, let's all just forget who our quarterback is and that we only have one great player on defense lol. If you do that and ignore our schedule for next season, then you *should* be really excited for next year!

I can counter everything negative you say with a positive.

Feel free to wallow in your negative filth tho.

I will stick to reality.

The "whoamg schedule is so hard wut r we goig 2 do" rhetoric is a joke. Didn't most everybody have San Diego and Green Bay penciled in as our toughest games last offseason? The NFL doesn't work that way. If it did, we've have two or three Lombardi trophies by now.

Actually, we have two elite caliber players on defense: Peppers and Beason. Everyone else is either average/above average (Lucas, Brayton, Lewis, Kemoeatu, Godfrey, Diggs) or very good (Davis, Gamble, Harris). You don't need Pro Bowlers at every position to field a good or even great defense.

1.) We were 12-4 last season Right on. It was a fun season up til that final game.

2.) We have a franchise Left Tackle Overpaid, but I'm glad he wants to be here. Unlike someone else.

3.) We have arguably the best Running Back and Wide Receiver in the league Got to love that.

4.) We have Jon Beason One of the best in the biz. Not looking forward to the day when he "talks contract".

5.) All of our awesome Rookies are a year more experienced (Otah, Stewart) Otah will hopefully play all 16 games, or that could be a sign of things to come. But he will be a beast. J-Stew goes over 1000.

6.) Trgovac is gone! So? Nobody knows the real reason our D sucked. Let's just hope Meeks will change the scheme up and Fox won't step in his way. At all.

7.) Hurney and Fox are some of the best drafters in the league. Every team can claim good draft picks I'm sure, but I can definitely thank them for eight without even thinking.

We have so many things to be happy about. :)True, but the past is the past. It will not make up for a crap year, if we have one.

And also, here's to another 8-0 home stand!

    • Bryce has improved each season, fwiw, statistically.  His slope is rising.  (Not to say I am high on him--I am not, but I have not given up on him--nor have I given up on XL, but damn he pisses me off)  CJ's slope is descending.   I was never a Penix fan.  Never, I say!    
    • That is definitely the down side of all this--on paper, I would offer up a second rounder for him if he passed my interviews.  He has already gone through (seriously?) a treatment program for gambling addiction.  I just see him as a first round talent that we could get with a second rounder.  If I liked Bryce and felt good about paying him $50m per, I would not touch Sorsby.  If Bryce regresses or stays the same--he is going to expect to be paid.  Sorsby, in my view, has a better long-term future as an NFL QB.  He is big, mobile, has good arm strength, and makes wise decisions (on the field) with the football.  He is a great dual threat, RPO QB.   I think he is a perfect solution for the backup qb position and insurance for Bryce should he get injured or suck.  Pickett?  King?  yikes. 
    • Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.
