Talking like winners


Mr. Scot

Listen to the post game interviews the players and coaches are giving these days, and tell me you don't hear a different tone from prior years, or even earlier this year.

 

It's the kind of tone you hear from players who expect to win.

 

I'm trying to remember the last time I heard our guys sounding this way.

 

Nice to see the change.

Let's put it this way...the last time this team had confidence like this we read about it in the paper. We couldn't listen to HD streams of post game pressers on the internet 10 years ago.

This team was rightfully confident in 05 and 08 too.

Probably the most confidence I've seen from the fans and the team was after the undressing of Tampa after the 08 Monday night game and after we blanked the Giants in NY in the playoffs in '05.

Loved Smitty's interview after the game. He was talking about how poorly they executed in the first half and how they were going to have to buckle down and work harder.

 

In the twilight of his career, Smith knows how special this run is and how it could end up if they keep working at it.

Hearing Mitchell talk about how much he "loves this team" was fantastic.

That's the kind of thing you absolutely want to hear. It's much better than guys just drawing a paycheck.

 

Mitchell's post game still has me pumped.  The guy loves playing here, loves that he's gotten his chance to shine, and loves this team, I truly expect we will be able to extend him with a contract that's fair for both sides, and hopefully cut Godfrey and give him some of that money.

 

This team is going to be a magnet for guys, our core is so talented and young, Gman will be able to pick and choose the pieces he wants to add.  No longer will you have to beg players to come here, they will want to come here.  As much as a disaster as it ended up being, I forsee the next few years being like the Eagles offseason a couple years ago, FA will flock to this team.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
