So if the Panthers win, Bryce is the star and when Panthers lose Bryce can't overcome the refs, and inept staff/teammates? Got it.

We are 50% of the Saints wins this season. If they turn around and lose to the freaking Jets next week....

At this point we are at a fork in the road and we are going to have to choose between these two options. Option a) Pay Bryce Young franchise QB money and let other key pieces walk when their contracts are up because this ain't professional baseball, salary caps actually matter or b) Continue to build other key spots on the roster and draft a QB or get a reasonably priced QB in FA. I hope we choose option B.

Meanwhile the 40th player overall taken this draft (yes, a rookie QB) swept the #1 overall pick in his 3rd season with an inferior offense.

Dude, the Saints had 9 penalties. We had two more than they did. Hardly lopsided.

Swept by the lowly Saints.

Ball was trapped and one hand came off the ball.

How dare T-Mac drop that perfect pass!!!!

Sniff yes, actually make...nope.

Even if we somehow make the playoffs, this team is NOT ready for the postseason. One and done.

This game has been nearly unwatchable with all the laundry on the field.

Yeah, give that man an Oscar. That was some first rate acting. Ickey fell for it, but the refs didn't.

This board loves them some mid-@ss QBs.

Unless Bryce turns into the steady, consistent franchise QB we NEED him to be, we have to move off of him after 2026. This is why:

So, how clutch was Mendoza? And no, that first half pick wasn't on him. Dude had some deep dimes. Not to mention his favorite target got knocked out very early. Not to mention he got clocked on the first pass of the game. Again, his @ss better not be a Saint.

Dude, I would literally jizz in my underwear if we got Mendoza at #16!

Draft defense, TE in FA.

One-year wonder that has feasted against bad teams/defenses and disappeared versus quality opponents. Lots of YAC on TE screens. Has a few of highlight reel plays, nothing that has me feeling the need to bang the table for him. Fairly athletic and has soft hands. Better than anything we have now, but I wouldn't take him any higher than mid-round of the first. I would say the top Edge, ILB or safety before him.

Me too, but i think it's going to happen. I think his inconsistent play isn't $50M worthy and the team isn't there yet, nor will be by this offseason. We have given that guy the freaking moon despite the huggers trying to poke holes in that sentiment. Top OL, Two 1st round WRs, a 1-A /1-B RB and decent TE play. Yet we don't have a 'Travis Kelce' at TE so that should somehow afford Bryce some slack. How much more do we have to load up on offense before this dude is held accountable to his garbage games? Hell, when he has a great performance, it's BRYCE'S win. When he sucks, the defense did bad, missed FG, WR dropped a ball etc...

FA TE is the only solution this offseason. We pass up the TE unicorns every April that has one every...fugging...draft, EVERY ONE! However this draft isn't the one to go all-in. The Oregon kid is good, but not a unicorn. I've been on the TE1 quest since the 2018 draft. So this offseason is pushing a decade for my TE1 quest. I think we keep trying the Kittle or Kelce route where you take a future HOF TE on day 3 of the draft....kinda like stumbling onto Tom Brady in the 6th round, you know, great odds! I haven't even looked at the TE FA list. I'll do that shortly and give my thoughts.

Bryce will get the 5th year option because he probably was always going to. It's rare top 5 overall QBs don't the option, if not an outright extension, outside of being a complete and utter dumpster fire. I've conceded the 5th year option argument a while ago, but I'm not budging a damn inch on a long term extension. He can't get in his feels when hears the outside noise to 'prove himself' only to follow up said redemption game with a 100 yard, 0 TD and 2 INT game.

You can't have $50M QB play in a couple games a year to earn the a 50M/year long term deal. Like the guy said in the video, not to long ago all we wanted Bryce to do was hand the ball off to Rico. Bryce is on a VERY recent hot steak and all of a sudden now we want to give him a Josh Allen contract? Y'all have got to be high.

We throw mud at the wall for TEs and what has that gotten us? At least we finally gave up on the Ian Thomas experiment. I've been asking for a first or second round TE since the 2018 draft.

Lol, too early. I've been tinkering with mocks for a month now.
