I guess XL has been dropped from the lineup for Sunday. With this week off, maybe he can grasp how to better himself...really get a hold on his craft.

We sure wouldn't want to win a couple more games and screw up our draft spot. Good thinking by Canales and Morgan.

Useless stats is right. I mean, I guess you proved that Tepper sucks, although most of us already knew that.

Key point being if, BIG IF, the rookie contract QB is the guy. Bryce is giving us every indication he is not. Seattle is the perfect example, they were able to build around Russell Wilson on his rookie deal. However, how would Seattle have looked if Russell Wilson had played like Zack Wilson? The strategy is completely sound, no question, but applying it where all the dominoes actually fall in place is way more tricky.

Beck, Dart and Gabriel are likely QB3 QB4 and QB5...Yuck. He hasn't announced yet, but I'm 99% sure Milroe goes back too. Dart and Gabriel could be okay in the right system. I have never liked Beck...at all. That said, if Milroe and Ewers go back (late first rounders), we are looking at a two selection first round QB draft. Woof!

We have a ton of day 3 picks. It's worth taking a swing with one of them.

PREACH! Maybe someone else will be labeled "next year" guy. Welcome to the club, lol!

I think I would rather take a pure WR inT-Mac if we were going to go wideout. Slash type players typically don't excel in the NFL. The demands are too high for a duel role. If we take Hunter strictly as a CB, then I would be good. Hunter and Horn would be a damn good pairing.

What the Cowboys did was keep the pressure on and not let Bryce pad his stats late and get the Panthers back into the game. Most teams have played passive defensively with a late lead and Bryce has been able to generate those 4th quarter drives. Yesterday, the Cowboys kept after him and he crumbled. No soft shell coverage to prevent an over the top play and allow Young to operate the underneath portion of the field. There's the blueprint to beat Bryce v2.0. I had mentioned that a team would exposed "new Bryce" eventually and it didn't take long.

Three of the four were walk off FGs by Pineiro. None of the four wins by more than 3 points.

Man, Icky has ONE bad game this year and y'all trying to run hm out of town. Bryce has a bad career to date and people are still making excuses to keep him around.

Yup, since Bryce played mediocre-to-good for a few games, Canales will be obligated to run it back We all know how that ends.

Bro, it doesn't take Ray Charles to see it going down like this:

It's going to be T-Mac-WR, Johnson-CB, Graham-DT or Carter-Edge. Hunter, Ward and Sanders will be gone. So we can get the best defensive player or the best pure WR. Still pretty good.

The Texans just locked up the AFC South in large part to Stroud and we were officially eliminated from the playoffs in large part to Young. Yup, the difference between these two guys are practically indistinguishable.

Yup.

I am really liking McCord on day 3. How about you? Rouke, Leonard and Howard would be okay late flier picks too. Again, McCord is my favorite of the bunch though.

Most likely one won't be there. It's a pretty bad QB class when by pick #4, there are no more options for a QB.

There are only two QBs worthy of a top 10 pick with the top two needy teams conveniently sitting at #1 and #2 in the draft order--Giants and Raiders. It ain't happening. Those teams are tanking and we will probably squeeze out at least one more win. We also hold the tie breaker over both of those two teams if somehow we end up with the same record. The Giants have a fairly tough last 3 games. The Raiders would have a couple of winnable ones, but I think they still tank it.

Nope, only reaffirmed them.

Oh, and he's not a WR1, not yet at least. That's why I would extend him at a WR3 rate after the season. If he flames out, there's only a small amount of egg on our face. If he balls out, then we got a STEAL.

If we were smart, re-sign him in the offseason to a 3-year extension. Coker is only signed through next season. If he balls out next year, he's only going to be that much more expensive. An extension in the spring should be VERY team friendly.

I didn't say don't improve the roster, just don't go full '21 Rams. The reason? Mortgaging the future to prop up a QB that likely still doesn't have what it takes to go on a SB run is dumb. Bryce and #1 overall draft pick is a punchline now, btw. If he was able to live up the the billing of #1 overall draft pick, this would be a different conversation, but it's not. He's got one more year to change his trajectory to franchise QB from the track of backup he's on currently.

^This. And with a better roster and a 2nd year coaching staff he can't take a huge leap forward, we all will have our answer about Bryce. No more glimpses of improvement or small moral victories. He's either going to be our Jackson, Mahomes or Allen or we need to start the search elsewhere in '26. The Giants thought it was going to finally click with Jones too, but it didn't and most outsiders saw it too. We had better not end up like the Giants.

Come on, prop the kid up to where mediocre status justifies taking him #1 overall after trading away the entire farm. Just don't call him a bust, please. Saying JAG is so much better. That's the level of play we want for our franchise QB, apparently.
