Wish we still had piggy. I know he wasn't very good, but he knows the system and considering we're literally down to a 4th string player. Geoff is not a bad choice when your down to your 4th string player, plus he could play multiple positions.

Please don't remind me about the Kugbila pick, it was a desperate reach to begin with. Zero offensive starters currently drafted since Cam got here. It's all about depth. I just would have liked to see more urgency from him regarding something so crucial to our success.

 

Kugbila wasn't drafted for this year.  Way too early to write him off as a bust just yet.

Silatolu?  What about bringing in Ginn and Olsen?

 

I see nothing wrong with the Kugbila pick, dude seems like an exact clone of Amini and its actually a bit of a blessing he's hurt.  It took Amini half a season to figure out wth to do out there and now he's our best guard.  Guys like Jahri Evans and Carl Nicks were late round picks that weren't supposed to amount to anything and now they are 2 of the best guards in the game.  Who else could we have gotten that would have filled a hole for us with that pick?

 

Look I get that people are frustrated our offense isn't exactly world-class and we haven't been drafting guys to fix it.  We have however put a lot of effort on fixing our defense and look at it now, arguably the best in the NFL (us, KC, and SEA I feel are in their own class).  Most experts feel this upcoming draft is deep at OT, WR and CB, our 3 biggest holes.  Oline was not deep at all last year, hence why so many went so early and all the WRs were project players whose value was heavily influenced by demand.  Hopkins and Terrence Williams are the only 2 guys who have done anything this year.

Great way to help our o line, and protect our young quarterback. Draft for next year, who cares about the offense!

 

Not many instant impact guys available in the 4th round.  You're acting like we spent a 1st or 2cd rounder on the guy.  Most mid-round picks are developmental picks, that's why they're still available in the mid-rounds.  If you find an instant impact player in the mid-rounds, you just got lucky.  There's always a handful every year, but they're few and far between.

I said the draft, that's where it counts. Silatolu is the lone starter we've added, the jury has been out on him, and he's on IR for the year. Real helpful. Compare what we've done through the draft offensively to help our young QB to other teams, like Indy, and Seattle.

 

If you don't build around your quarterback through the draft, it doesn't matter who you have behind center. We've got to improve.

Not if this defense keeps playing lights out we don't need to.  There are a multitude of ways to win in the NFL.  Having a high octane offense isn't the only way.  Brees had a huge game and still lost to a good defense.

 

Yes if we want to make that final step and become a truly ELITE team we need to add pieces to the offense.  One step at a time though dude.  It was only a few years ago we fielded the worst offense the league had seen in over a decade.  We've come a long way and I believe we will continue to grow.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      I think at some point you top out what God gave you.  He can use leverage via his mechanics to maximize what he has and When he pays attention to it the throws are better.    IMO as a layman a lot of it is what kind of ‘headroom’ you have. The guys who are gifted don’t have to use maximum effort to get good results and stay within themselves but they have it in reserve. They can do an arm throw for substantial distance without max effort.    I think what we may be seeing with these ‘lasers’ is a throw that Bryce puts the max effort into and does his mechanics right and has his base right and it works together.    To get to the payoff here, I think his best velocity throws take dall that whereas  a naturally gifted guy doesn’t need to go full effort to get that same velocity. I have said this three or four times over the years and it never gets picked up on but the accuracy is more consistent with an easier motion and max effort can produce less predictable location. It is a baseball pitcher thing but it applies to throwing a pass too. It isn’t that you can’t make an accurate throw with full effort it is just not as reliably accurate to the same degree. Someone said something about his pro day and that is where I saw it too. He took a little extra step on the deep throws. Some call it a hitch but I don’t see it that way because I don’t see it on shorter throws. He does it trying to get distance. I saw that and just wanted no part of it at 1.1 . That is not tne characteristic of a 1.1 passer.  He should have been at best, late first  I had him second day. Of course I am no one and certainly not a pro evaluator, it is just that he WS so easy to suss out. They must have thought they could fix him. Changing a lifelong throwing motion with the footwork tied into it is not fuging easy. Anyone that had decent success with ‘their’ way and tried to change it to get more, can tell you that.

      Sounds like a tad bit of what Josh Allen had. He would make throws that made zero sense die to his desire to make a make. Bryce also turns the ball over believing their is an unlimited shot clock in those moments. Sometimes the best play is to reset for the next one.

      See, I think one of his biggest issues is he bails too early.  His instinct has been to bail as soon as defenders get behind him and the pocket starts to close in. Taller QBs hang in there for that extra second or two and throw over guys as the pocket collapses in the QBs lap.  BY runs as soon as this starts to happen, which means routes don’t have time to develop and the field gets cut in half as soon as he runs. This last game I saw some signs of him being willing to hang in the pocket when the defense gets behind him, but that has been rare.
