They would not have drafted Newton, nor would they have converted The Golden Calf of Bristol to tight end.

Give me those 3 minutes back.

I think we still woulda took Cam. Rivera/Hurney felt he was the guy after meeting with Cam, and after a season with him as our QB, I see what they mean. Dude has a way higher ceiling than luck and a much stronger work ethic than everyone was led to believe pre draft.

edit: Also wouldn't Cam wear number 2? He only went number 1 here because pickles is 2. And denver would not have won the AFC West, they wouldn't have Von Miller and probably not as dominant a defense.

We would have taken Luck, but I'm glad we have Cam... Luck may have done us a huge favor by staying one more year.

I have nothing against Luck, but there's something about him personality-wise that concerns me... I don't hear a passion for football when I listen to him talk about it.

Contrasting that to Peyton Manning, you heard the passion and intensity from day 1. As heralded as he was he had a chip on his shoulder and had something to prove. He told the Colts that if they passed on him, he would kick their butt for the next 15 years, I don't hear Luck saying that.

      Surprise! Wait… Surprise Again! Kon Looks Really Good!

      By t96 · Posted

      Ehh, new front office has 2 drafts under their belt -- Salaun draft class was really a horrible class in general, but Salaun has started to show some of his potential and KJ Simpson not bad for a 2nd round pick. This past draft clearly looks like it was knocked out of the fuging park obviously with Kon but also Sion and Kalk already contributing in somewhat big roles for late round picks. And McNeeley has shown potential and lit it up in summer league, seems to be doing well in the G league for a young guy too.      As for this season I think a very realistic goal and outcome of the regular season is sneaking up into a 7 or 8 seed and then winning 1 of 2 play-in games to make the real playoffs. Probably get cooked in round 1 but that playoff experience and establishing that expectation of winning is critical to the development of our young core.

      Statistical reasons to Scratch Ickey from returning as a LT--Even in 2027

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Sound write-up MHS, as always.  Agree that the smart move that forward thinking franchises make would be drafting a tackle early, if not for sure in R1, depending on who's there. Based on early predictions we're choosing between Fano and Proctor. No brainer here...Fano all day. Proctor does not move the needle for me. In my mind, Icky has less future here than Brooks does. I love Icky, but he has been average as a top-10 pick, one good year where you saw the potential...and that was this year. He's built like a RT and his strengths are there, but he's always played left. I also feel like part of what has held him back from being elite, was his work ethic. He was known for it coming out, but feel like he fell right at home in Carolina and maybe didn't push himself as hard as he needed to. Throw in a major crucial injury that will take time to recover and a historical low return rate to current form, and the outlook is not great. Fano can play both sides and we need to also plan for Moton's departure. Either way, delaying drafting a tackle early this year will hurt us down the line. Our current OL is overpriced and needs to start adding draftees to start balancing out the inevitable changes coming in the next 2-3 years.  As others have said, maybe Icky can replace Hunt or Lewis in a couple years when he's fully recovered....IDK. Also not a guarantee, but then you have to figure out his contract and it becomes even more clouded.

      Shedeur makes the Pro Bowl

      It's past time to just eliminate it in terms of an event. Just do the voting, name the roster, and move on. When you get down to 6th and 7th alternates it's just absurd. It doesn't mean anything.
