THIS is the kind of coach we need to be reading about in the national headlines ... not Sandusky et al!!

Ayers went to work at 14 as a garbage collector, and returned to that job after a stint in the Marines:

One day while making the rounds, Ayers said, he was shot in the shoulder by a teenage boy who was even more at-risk.

“I was picking up his garbage,” Ayers said. “He had 10 cans that were turned over and I was cleaning up his mess. And that kid shot me. I told the police I didn't want to press charges. I just wanted the kid to tell me why he shot me. You know what he said? He said, ‘Because you're just a garbage man.'

“He didn't know my heart. He didn't know my dreams. He judged me from what he saw on the outside.”

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Do you even know what the term "below average" means? Because I'm genuinely not sure if you do. There are 32 QB's in the league, which means to be playing "above average" he'd have to be the 15th best QB at the league, and even then, that's in essence the "average NFL QB" still. Even going by these rankings, which have him 20th, that by itself is the definition of "below average", and that's before you consider there are multiple QB's ranked below him in this list that I'd 100% trade him for in a heartbeat. Again, no matter what you think the eye test tells you, he's made 28 starts and has a grand total of FOUR games over 247 yards.  Drake Maye has made 10 starts, all with a significantly worse group of pass catchers than Bryce has had, and he already has 3 games over that number himself. I don't need to see or know anything else beyond that to determine he is a below average QB in this league so far and I don't know how anyone can honestly argue against that.  If he was a Lamar Jackson type putting up 75+ yards rushing on a consistent basis, then you can look at those passing yards differently, but that's not the case here. Could he still improve and get to average or better?  Of course. But you're trying to extrapolate a few throws/drives/moments from a handful of games and trying to say that makes him even an average, if not above average, QB in this league.  Which is just nonsense when the players you're comparing him to have played at that level for full seasons or their entire careers.

      Who says no to the following.  Trade KK and Morrow for a draft pick of some sort.  Sign the following:  Bennett 8m AAV Ekblad 8m AAV Boeser 7.5m AAV Marner 13m AAV Cap numbers work after the trade of KK and Morrow.
