Like most of you, I have multiple concerns about our roster, but man does the DE position look weak! Who is a complete DE other than Charles Johnson?

I want to say Greg Hardy too, but he has to be on the field more consistently before we really know what we have. The other 2 DEs are light-weight (250#) speed rushers.

Our backups & DL do not inspire confidence...I hope Harrison can be a dominant starter at DT. We saw the DL, in pre-season, get no push AND get pushed around; if something doesn't change it will be a long season.

Hey, change a couple names and it's the same roster as last year with the same problems:

1. Lack of quality DT

2. Lack of a #2 WR

3. Rookie QB

4. Very suspect CBs.....

Who says you can't get the same results as last year with some new faces? A new head coach and a different rookie QB on a team that essentially still has the same problems they had last season....

5-11 here we come...

Fox still has mind control over Hurney...give Hurney a break already!!! :nono:

Kidding, of course, you are correct. A new wrapper does not change the contents of a gift, nor do new players with same skill sets change the quality of a team.

I really hope that you are wrong & the rest of us who feel the same way. Problem is that even if Newton is the best thing since sliced bread he will still struggle as a rookie & how do you both bring a rookie in AND bring home a winning record? By surrounding him with an excellent OL, great skill positions & (probably most importantly) a lights out [hope Merriman didn't trademark that!] defense. We do not have a top notch D without a strong DL.

At this point, the talent on the roster is seriously lacking in all areas except the HBs, TE, OL & LBs; safety is pretty solid (kickers too, if we are going to pretend like they are football players).

Last year was a throw away year to save $, but then shouldn't this year be a 'rebuilding' year? I am not seeing where they are even 'developing' guys enough guys for an outstanding team next year. Status quo here we come...scratch that, only winning 2 games is very hard, so we will probably win between 4-7 (but losing record nonetheless).

I am the furthest thing there is from a basher or pessimist, but sadly a realist & pessimist sometimes look the same when the GM has not prepared the roster for success.

We need a "homerun" in the next few days..... A threesome of Tommie Harris, Alex Brown & trade for a #2 CB. I think a 5-11 record is our wheelhouse this year regardless, but that would guarantee one of the following:

WR: Alshon Jeffrey, Justin Blackmon

CB: Dre Kirkpatrick, Alfonso Dennard

DT: Jarrel Worthy, Brandon Thompson

As much as we need a WR like Jeffrey, I don't see how we can ignore a stud DL(DT or DE) in the first round.

Yeah, we need realistic expectations. I just hope we're trying to win this year as opposed to trying not to lose last year. I can support a young team that takes chances and looks like they're trying to win and get better.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
