Recommended Posts

We didn't make most of our progress until after this time last year

 

Munnerlyn, Mitchell, Ginn—3/21/13

(full week later than today - although there were cries of apocalypse / Gettleman in over his head)

 

Blackburn 4/02/13

 

Domenik Hixon 4/10/13

 

Melvin White 5/10/13

 

Robert Lester 5/10/13

 

Chris Scott 8/02/13

 

Travelle Wharton 8/26/13

 

 

Full disclosure - We had already comfortably wrapped up Colin Cole and Jordan Senn

 

Hate to ruin the mood, but we may not have to forfeit all our 2014 games - Just a thought

I will admit, I was as worried last year about our 2ndary as I am about our receivers.

 

The difference is all the pieces we added to the 2ndary last year are basically gone.  So are all of the receivers.  And our line is even worse, and ugh.  

Lots of offseason left.  Just hard to deal with.

Apples and oranges?

We only need a LT, CB, FS and WR. Talk about hyperbole. The fact is The Huddle is overracting to another quiet, slow off-season (in regards to signings).

 

We actually need three or four receivers, a CB, a FS, a starter at LT, and then considerable depth on the offensive line. 

 

With as many holes as we have this year as opposed to last, it should be more difficult to actually improve upon our season. Last year it wasn't that difficult to improve on a 7 win season. This year I was hoping to improve on a 12 win season or have one comparable.

You can't compare apples and oranges...

This team has so many more holes to fill... Don't believe me just go look at the roster. We have an offensive linemen named Derek Dennis, who the f*ck is Derek Dennis?!?!

Word. I feel this all the way.

We've lost our TE2, our starting LT, our starting RG, our backup LG/RG, our WR1, WR2, WR3, our backup DT, our starting FS, our starting SS, our starting CB1, our starting CB2, and three very good special teams players...

I see more holes than you.

Btw try to fill those slots with 8 mil, good luck.

    • 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
