Losing for as long as we have will tend to produce that kind of attitude.

Yeah, we definitely cannot chalk him up as a hit quite yet. I will say his work ethic seems to be very high caliber, so that bodes very well for him(and us).

Yeah well people were also trying to justify Elflein and Erving last offseason too. I will believe Bozeman and Colbert are what we need when they show it on Sundays. That's pretty much my general opinion of our talent evaluation at this point. I was cautiously optimistic when these guys were first fired and even after the first season. They lost me since then. They have to prove this poo on the field.

Robby....eh. Debatable. His first year was quite good, I will give you that. Luvu is a nice addition but is he really a core guy or a good depth guy? Hartfield is basically a JAG. Not a bad player but he could be replaced by any number of free agents. You are kind of making my point, even if you include Robby, the free agent signings haven't done much to bolster what was the least talented roster in the NFL(post 2019 teardown).

Yes. But you never did answer that question. What are the free agents that we have hit on outside Reddick? It's largely been a bunch of whiffs. Hence why I said I can't get excited yet about the guys you are referencing that we signed.

I am not convinced there are adults in the room and definitely not convinced that they are calling the shots. I am not part of the "Fitterer is a genius" cult.

Yeah, I would be fine with him as a later round pick. Our QB room is absolute ass.

Zappe's ceiling is Chad Pennington.

I somewhat suspected that Neal wasn't universally loved as a high caliber prospect.

TBH, probably neither of those helps us win now with Rhule as head coach. I actually think the staff is lower on BC than the FO. That much was evident from how they played them and even the wishy washy statements from Rhule. I don't think he really believes in him as a LT. Which, I don't either. It might not be just a gap between OT2 and OT3, these dummies might have a big gap between OT1 and OT2. There is no telling how dumb they are based on the past two years. I am basically expecting us to somehow fug this up. I expect it even in a scenario where the choice is extremely easy, we will someone fug it up.

That top 10 stuff wasn't worth that much, IMO. Brown isn't nearly as stout a run stopper as Star. Not even in the same class. That's the issue. Brown generated better pocket pressure but he is very weak in run support. That's the massive disappointment. YGM is a fine player but he's probably going to max out as a decent rotational guy. I have no issue with him but I don't think any of us expect him to develop into a serious pass rush threat. He's a role player and likely not a starter, at that. Hopefully he does develop but I can't say he is likely to become a core member of this team. Pretty much all the rest of the guys you are talking about are journeymen or role players. I heard plenty say similar things about Jones or Fox but they just turned out to be mediocre. That's all fine and well but, again, I am saying that our core is extremely thin. I can't get excited about these offseaosn moves until some actually pan out. Honestly, what was the last free agency signing that really panned out other than Reddick?

Not negative, just realistic. Name another impact DE on the roster outside of Burns. Brown has been a bust to date. He isn't an elite pass rusher and he has been quite poor at run support. I was one of the fee to defend that pick but he isn't living up to being a top 10 pick. Not anywhere close. CB's are unproven outside DJack. Name a single other proven commodity at CB currently on the roster. That's precisely my point. This defense is largely a bunch of depth guys or unproven players. Horn is likely to pan out. Chinn is likely to pan out. Outside of that, who else?

I am not sure there is much built on defense, to be completely honest. Outside the CB's, most of which are relatively unproven, what unit is set? The safeties? Maybe? Not the DE's, which only really have Burns. The IDL? Not with Brown looking like a bust. The LB's? Outside Shaq, what else is there? Our defense is actually mostly decent depth guys.

I can't see us intentionally rolling with Sam again. I think we make some panic move.

I am only gonna be pissed if a top shelf LT falls to us and we take a DE instead. That will make me mad.

You do understand that we have dumb people running the show for our team, right? Did you see how poorly all that dumb trading worked out last season/offseason? These aren't the people you want trying to out smart anyone. They are out smarting themselves.

I would like to issue a formal apology for the last month of play. After rage quitting a past few games when we're playing like dookie(including after Devils goal #2 today), apparently me watching has been a jinx.

That's the thing, we just lost our best pass rusher. After Burns it's just a bunch of depth guys. It isn't like we don't need a DE. And I have been beating the drum for years for that LT but if they are gone, get another elite, high value player.

I don't disagree but if there is a run in LT's and one of those elite DE prospects drops then pass rushers are equally as valuable as LT's. Although LT's are much harder to come by.

Now that I would be fuging furious about.

Yeah. It's ridiculous. Just don't fug up #6 and then move on to next season. This is not hard.

I wouldn't be against drafting him but I am not gonna say that he is a sure thing.

The level of jerking off over trading down is mystifying.

Apparently some view him as a two down player. If he does end up being that, it would be a massive overdraft to take him top 10.

I assume DE. Honestly. If a top tier DE is available, I wouldn't be against that.
