lol this team isn't as bad as last year's team. It's just that the defense is so bad.

If we end up picking #1 I imagine we're going to look to trade down, but I don't see any team wanting to move up that badly so we probably end up using the pick anyway. In that scenario I think we take Sanders or Ward at QB.

Shedeur Sanders or Cam Ward. We can't let the Bryce mistake cause us to make another one by passing on a QB at #1 just because we're afraid to make another mistake. I also disagree that this QB class is weak at the top of the draft. I think both Sanders and Ward are legit franchise QB prospects. I'd prefer trading down and still landing one of them if we end up picking #1, but I'd make sure we come away with one of them regardless.

I'm firmly on the Cam Ward bandwagon. He's going to be a stud in the NFL.

I don't care if he throws 5-6 picks. Just show some urgency, some gumption, some fire. Play pissed off with a chip on his shoulder. Take some chances downfield; play with a gunslinger mentality. Make some positive plays to put up against the negative ones. Put some stuff on film that can build some confidence. Denver's defense is good. I don't expect Bryce will have a great game, but the one thing I don't want to see is the deer in headlights we saw weeks 1 and 2.

Having said that, I think Bryce has to realize this game is basically his last shot to show that he can even begin to live up to his draft status. If he goes out and lays an egg the way he did against the Saints and Chargers he's for sure cemented as a bust. If he at least shows some improvement and some signs of life it could be at least enough to get some teams more interested in trading more than a 5th rounder for him.

Plummer can't possibly be worse than Bryce was the first 2 weeks. Throwing 4-5 picks is one thing, but being afraid to even attempt throws past 5 yards and overthrowing guys by 5 yards on routine throws is something even most reasonably athletic guys off the street could manage if thrown into an NFL game.

I'm not saying he hasn't been awful, but he was a highly regarded QB prospect not that long ago and there are ALWAYS teams who will take a shot on a player like that, even if they haven't lived up to their draft stock. Especially when the narrative is that his failure was 100% on the organization and team around him. See: Sam Darnold.

Biggest blunder was pretty much everything between Rhule's firing and Reich's firing. That stretch of decisions set us back several years even if you don't count any mistakes before and/or after.

Y'all act surprised when teams are actually interested in a QB who was drafted #1 overall just a year ago. I know the narrative around here is that Tepper forced the Bryce pick and ONLY the Panthers with their dumbass owner would have taken him over C.J. Stroud, but the truth is there were MANY teams who had Bryce Young as the #1 QB in that draft. Hell, the Texans are one of them. It shouldn't be surprising that there are teams showing interest in Bryce. The one thing the NFL has never had a shortage of are coaches who think they can succeed where others have failed, especially at the QB position.

I don't think so. We'll have the cap space and no big QB contract. No reason we can't re-sign him. I feel like Morgan made it pretty clear this past offseason that OL is a priority.

Christensen playing his way into being our long-term center is a nice development.

We ARE in a rebuild and have been since the end of last season. The hope for a relatively quick turnaround was that Bryce might turn it around and become the guy. It doesn't look like that's happening, so we're basically back to square one. However, we have FINALLY fixed the OL and have a great young RB about to debut for us. We also have promising options in the passing game for the first time in years in XL and Sanders. Defense is a mess, but that's how it goes and a good chunk of that is also injury related. People want to bitch and complain and say we should be rebuilding. Well, THIS is what a rebuild looks like. It's just that we haven't fully committed to it until now when it should have been the plan back in 2019 instead of trying to "soft" reboot the franchise. Rebuilding teams get blown out; it happens all the time. We have to start focusing on the silver linings, of which there are quite a few: - The OL is, at long last, fixed. - That includes Brady Christensen, who now looks like our long-term answer at center. - It also includes Ickey, who is finally playing consistently good football. - Both the FA guards we signed are playing their asses off. - Jaycee Horn is finally healthy. - Chuba Hubbard has emerged as one of the better RBs in the NFL. - Jalen Coker looks like a keeper on offense. - Trevin Wallace looks like a keeper on defense. - Jonathon Brooks is about to debut. - J.T. Sanders is improving each week and is coming off his best game. - XL looks like a future stud. There are positives, but it's going to be an up and down process. Some weeks we'll look good (Raiders), others we'll look OK (Falcons), and others we'll get our doors blown off (Commanders). That's what a rebuilding football teams looks like.

I mean, that's basically what we're doing.

Might as well at this point.

Worst of all time? Come on now. We may not even be the worst team in the league right now, let alone of all time.

Morgan wasn't my first choice, but we have to be careful assuming that all the mistakes were on Dan. He was just the assistant GM, after all. And we know Tepper was constantly forcing personnel moves so it's fair to wonder how many of those moves were even on Fitterer. If you look at Morgan's first offseason I feel like he's done a decent job. FINALLY got the OL built up and this draft class looks like our best in years, even if that isn't necessarily saying much given how awful we have drafted. It's not looking good on the field right now, but that's to be expected when you've had the worst owner in sports making mistake after mistake for years now. I'm not sure how much Morgan or Canales can really be blamed in the long run; especially Canales.

Player props as well. Just bet the over on rushing yards for every RB we face. Be careful on the passing yards for QBs, though. It's likely teams won't have to throw the ball against us after halftime much. Having said that, Chuba Hubbard has been a good bet as well for rush yards + TDs. He's by FAR our most consistent player.

Canales isn't the problem. I'm not sold he's part of the solution either, but he isn't the root of the problem. We're paying for 5 years of shitty ownership that has resulted in the worst roster in the NFL.

It's insane how so many in sports media - and some fans - are pushing Beck and Ewers as franchise QBs while nit-picking every reason in the world why Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward aren't. I think both Sanders and Ward have legit franchise QB potential; I wouldn't touch Beck before the 3rd round and Ewers before the 5th. It's as clear cut a case of QBs being propped up by the talent around them as I've seen. Sanders has Travis Hunter and that's it; Ward has a good team around him at Miami, but has proven at Washington State he can carry a team that's not stacked with talent. My top-5 QBs as of right now: 1. Shedeur Sanders (Top-10) 2. Cam Ward (Top-10) 3. Garrett Nussmeier (2nd-3rd round) 4. Jalen Milroe (2nd-3rd round) 5. Carson Beck (3rd round)

Josh Allen was a pure traits prospect; his play at Wyoming was awful at times. Not only does Cam Ward have the physical traits (though not on Allen's level) his production has FAR exceeded Allen's.

No, Cam Ward is actually FAR more NFL ready than Josh Allen was coming out.

Josh Allen turns it over a lot, too. Who among us wouldn't take him at QB in a heartbeat?

Absolutely. He's going to be a star in the NFL.

Bryson Daily is an interesting player. I can see him being a great NFL weapon for a team with a creative enough coach that can get him involved as a short-yardage specialist and gadget player.
