Beason - easy. Our D overall was terrible last year but all of the surrounding units were made worse than they would have been by the carnage at LB (easily our strongest defensive unit when healthy IMO).

Getting Beason back (who I trust more than TD to actually come back from his injury) will go lightyears towards solidifying the middle of the field...which will have an effect on the entire defensive unit.

Either Beason or Gettis. I voted Gettis but I could see both having an equal impact, just cautious about Beason. You know if Gettis performs like he did his rookie season coupled with the fact that he is playing with Cam, will only increase his impact.

I don't trust Otah and don't see how much more of an impact he could make. The OL mistakes at times gets covered up by Newton's ability to extend plays.

Edwards, I am sure, will make a difference but I think DTs rotate so much that I couldn't vote him.

Davis is just too much of a question mark for me but I am sure everyone hopes he can at least stay on the field.

It is easily Otah..he would make the like deep and offer a Pro Bowl run destroyer which would make us even more dominant on offense.

Gettis would have to exceed the Legadu stats which I think Lafell will get..Hopefully Gettis is ready to go.

i just dont see Thomas Davis making it...after game 1 i was so excited and then heartbroken seeing him carted off.

Edwards is a close second...we need all the help up the middle.

The injury TD suffered vs GB was a contact injury, it was different that the first two tears, he also had a different style of surgery this time.

Which makes his knee even worse.... odds much worse

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
