My Goodness My Guinness

Nah I’m told Pickles made these throws all the time… Seriously, that’s an A+ throw. “What does Bryce do well?” Seems like accuracy and anticipation? He threw that between 3 guys before AT was even close to being open.

The amount of blood thirsty Young haters on this forum is hilarious. No he's not playing well enough to compensate for the rest of this team sucking ass, but it seems pretty obvious what the problem is. We know we can't run the ball because we just run up the middle every play. We know the interior line is getting absolutely blown up and allowing edge rushers free rein on Bryce. We know Frank is drawing up quick screens to try and get the ball out fast. And he calls plays built for one player and isn't even aware he's not on the field. Like, how TF is this on Bryce? I've seen him make some pretty damn accurate throws and has scrambled to make plays. He's a rookie, my god.

Fractured fibula is probably best case scenario for him. Realistically could come back this year. Edit: didn’t see the previous update in time about being out for the season. Must have been a bad break? Maybe low by the foot?

Good god that route by Laviska didn’t even look real. Still shocked the coaches didn’t try using him more as a traditional WR last year.

Horn broke his forearm in a freak collision that would break anybody's forearm. Has absolutely nothing with being injury prone.

Lol no way Bozeman is worth top 5 center money after half a season of playing. I like him but just because he isn’t a bottom tier center doesn’t mean we should break the bank for one. I think 7-8 million per year would be reasonable

Alright Eddie looks fine. Don’t know why TF they went for it on 4th and goal from the 4 lol

Pinero limped off earlier so maybe he’s hurt?

92 QBR? Try 57

I was wondering what I was seeing as well. I locked in on Burns one of those plays and it looked like he was spying Jones.

Lol we were all in on Rhule at the beginning. I was even willing to give him time last season. But this loss was 100% coaching. You can’t average 6 yards per carry and lose with CMC as your back

I mean, this is probably just some goodwill for PJ from a guy who obviously likes him/coached him in the past. Let him showcase his skills so he can get quickly signed if we cut him for Corral. Now I’d 100% rather see Corral get more meaningful snaps, but hopefully he will get a lot of time in the second half

Yeah, Shi was really USC's only weapon, had atrocious QB play, and still balled out. He's got a lot of potential.

This 100%. Most long term TBI is caused by these much more frequent small impacts, rather than the big ones. Hence why linemen and linebackers have the highest rates of TBI since they hit someone on almost every play.

Lol wow the Baker vs Corral arguments have already started and we haven’t even gotten to camp

I agree. If one of the top tackles is available, that'll be a tough pill to swallow

Gotta say, from the clips I saw, the dude was throwing dimes.

I’m not sure. I see where you are coming from, but it would take multiple first round picks to trade for a franchise altering QB. I think a solid starter would be well worth a top 10 pick tbh

I've gotta jump in on this mess. 1. I don't want to draft Pickett at 6, but I'd gladly take him in the teens if we trade back. 2. I believe Pickett will have a Mac Jones type rookie year where he plays the best of all the rookie QBs 3. The hand size thing is hilarious to me. Who cares if he has small hands if he showed he can read a defense, make good decisions, and make accurate passes? I feel like the last few seasons should have hammered in that concept to our fanbase by now 4. The NFL ball and college ball are the same circumference. So it's hilarious that people are making the point that he's going to struggle throwing an NFL ball. - Pros: 11 to 11.25" length, 28" circumference - College: 10.5 to 11.5" length, 28" circumference 5. He's shown the ability to learn and improve while in college, so the fumbles can be avoided with proper two-hands on the ball technique while in the pocket. That is all.

Easy answer is: You can’t fix both. Not sure about y’all, but I’m a little tired of trading picks / overpaying some 3rd tier QB. I’d be content with drafting a long term center and a guard, playing Brady at LT, move Erving to LG, and playing Deonte Brown at RG. If we could trade Robby Anderson for a 5th I’d do it just to save money as well. He showed his true colors this year and they are poopy brown. Now the part that’s hard to swallow. We gotta just roll with Darnold or Cam next year and save our first pick in 2023 to draft a QB or sign a big name free agent. There just isn’t anyone I’d get excited about drafting in this class and I certainly don’t want to trade more picks for Wilson. Maybe we could sign someone like Minshew to compete but won’t break the bank? Or just resign Cam and roll with it. Regardless, don’t expect to go to the playoffs. More of a long term plan of building a foundation to build the offense on.

Just as a counter argument, this pretty much applies to Joe Burrow as well

To people saying serviceable centers are easier to come by: true. But a great center can make a positive impact on the entire line. I’m all in on taking the Iowa center if he’s the guy he’s talked up to be, and then dropping like 4 picks on guards.

I’m convinced Brown banged someone’s wife.

I mean, it makes sense why the offense still sucks under Nixon calling plays. Seems like the whole offensive playbook blows. It’s like on Madden when you accidentally change the playbook to the Jaguars when you meant to use Run n Gun

Honestly, Reddick started off on fire but really hasn’t done anything the last half of the year. I wouldn’t resign him if he’s wanting the contract we all suspect he wants. Jackson is gone. Gilmore seems happy being home so he will probably get like 7 mil per year contract which would be great. And Cam is still extremely valuable even if only used in short yardage. So I’d sign him if it’s reasonable. Outside of that, Gonzalez, Jones, Zylstra, Haynes, Burris, Luvu are the ones I would resign. Most of the rest are just roster fodder.
