yeah could just be that but he also had 7 yard per catch in 2019 on a bigger sample size than 2020/2021 and the offense was actually really good that year if I'm remembering right

I admittedly haven't followed him at all or watched him much at all -- but glancing at stats how does a 4.3 dude average 10 yards per catch over his career? That's slow crappy possession guy numbers. Just Colts QB and offense being that bad? Most of the sample size is last year and the year before in very small sample size he averaged 16 which makes more sense.

fug just tell us who our QB is; this next month+ is gonna be brutal, we're gonna have to keep hearing about Stroud vs Young, trading down, Levis, AR, etc.

I think they're already set on Stroud but also like Young enough that if something in the next month and a half comes up in the process making them re-think Stroud they would happily pivot to Young.

Mahomes already has an argument for GOAT NFL player frankly. Stroud or Young could turn into an elite franchise QB and still not be all that close to Mahomes' level. But I generally agree with your point that coaching, elite OL, franchise QB can all make a lack of weapons moot. There's a lot of ways to skin a cat. If we don't have many weapons we'll need to have great efficient play calling and QB play limiting turnovers and a great D. Especially in today's NFL where putting up points is so important. I don't expect to contend as soon as this year so we have a couple years to build out our skill position groups too. I'm just thrilled we have a top OL in place and continuity there to keep our rookie comfortable from go.

deep draft at TE would love to grab one between rounds 2-4. Ideally a WR in the 2nd but if a top TE is sitting there I'd do that too

so we need to find a taker via trade.

ehh better than Thomas/Tremble but I would've preferred not forcing the issue at TE with a guy like Hurst. Hopefully it's not a ton of $. I don't think he's all that good to be honest.

I doubt Minshew would’ve considered us even if we were interested, no path to start here.

He’s not gonna be that expensive lol, the market isn’t there for RBs

I mean, QB will decide the division and they are far behind the Aints and likely us right now. Ridder and Heinicke suck

Nah Sutton is washed after his injuries, Jeudy would be the target from Denver

Hell yeah. He wants to play for a contender so it’s telling that he’s even interested enough in us to visit whether we wind up signing him or not. Thielen + a WR in the 2nd round would be a great start to giving Stroud some weapons to go with our elite OL

He has 1 legit championship that he earned the rest were him joining super teams. On the field/court yes LeBron is probably better. But the media antics surrounding “the decision” were significantly more ridiculous than anything Rodgers has said/done.

Honestly as ridiculous as Rodgers has been he still can’t possibly be as bad as LeBron then

Decent backup and mentor, I’m cool with it.

Makes sense after we kept Boze but the hate he got here was ridiculous, he was a rock solid C for us. Bad at guard but good at C. Couldn't keep him as a backup at that cap hit but he wasn't bad for us at his natural position. Wish him the best for an AFC team that we don't play.

Yes I know that

Williams can be gotten for relatively cheap and short term. Honestly I think Foreman gets a bigger contract from him this FA.

I'd like to overhaul the RB room. Chuba and Foreman were fine last year but nothing special. I'd go with Jamaal Williams and draft a shiftier/speed/pass catching back somewhere in round 3-5.

I mean there's never really any point in 1st overall pick smokescreens that happen every year except as posted above to drive interest/intrigue from fans or to just mess with other teams' heads and try to get them to panic or do something stupid. Even when the pick could not be any more obvious (i.e. Lawrence to the Jags) there are still reports and smokescreens about it possibly being someone else or a trade down, etc.

Reality is we probably know exactly who we're taking and all the reports from the trade until draft day are just random guesses/speculation or intentional smokescreens.

even that wouldn't do it since we don't have our 1st now. Only possible way that happens is if we trade Burns or someone else and pick up a 1st next year that winds up being top 5-10, like the Lions and Seahawks got this year. Happened twice last year somehow but that rarely rarely happens. Teams likely to suck enough to pick that high don't often trade away their 1sts.

This just isn't a fact at all lol

Ehh I don't see it at all. They're both the same age and have both been on at least 4 NFL teams in their careers. Butker was a rookie who lit it up and should've been a no brainer to keep compared to Gano who had struggled with consistency and was going to need a new (big) contract soon. We made the obviously wrong decision, despite Gano ultimately having a pretty good season that year. Eddy vs Zane is more of a coin toss
