Who ya'll going with?

Simms and Boomer out is addition by subtraction but Matt Ryan? One step forward three steps back. Will not watch.

The Corbett hype and assumptions being made by many here give me an uneasy feeling all too reminiscent of years past. Anyone remember that line "the answer is already on the roster?" How'd that work out for us? We've had some awful center play since Kalil retired. I'm not sold on hopes and dreams about Corbett. But this is the gamble we've made. Regardless I will accept no excuses for poor QB play this season with the overall investments that have been made. We need to see improvement and trips to the end zone. Make it work.

Bootlicking like you're getting paid for it isn't any better.

I agree that wanting a strong running game isn't akin to Foxball. I see nothing so far about Canales that leads me to believe he is going to be stubborn and archaic in his approach to gameplanning or playcalling. At least I hope. Also as has always been the case a good running game is desired for a young QB. But for us running the ball isn't going to make a significant change in our scoring output IMO. Which is the primary goal we should be setting our sights on. If we take a step or two with Canales and this new offensive group with the additions we've made it will be because Bryce Young is passing the ball like we expect of a top overall pick. In the meantime I'll be curious to see how our undrafted rookie QB does in camp and preseason. Obviously Bryce is the starter but some competition is good for all involved.

Niners as much as I dislike KS he is a top 3 coach in the NFL we don't have that and they are also loaded with talent especially in the lines. He can guide that to a Super Bowl with a game manager. Ravens also have a damn good coach a loaded team and a dynamic QB that has to be accounted for at all times. Lions would probably be closer to us in comparison but Goff is a damn good QB that honestly has been poo on unfairly. But he can stretch the field with his arm. Dolphins are loaded but their passing game kept them from advancing in the playoffs and our own QB's best comp in Tua is reworking his throwing motion as a result of a dismal passing performance in their last playoff game. Yeah it's good to have a strong running game but you still have to be able to move the chains with your arm and sooner or later in a game in different scenarios you have to put together a drive to win or take the lead and you are not going to be able to run it at will in each of those situations no matter how good your oline might be. There's no need to dig deep to cope. We have some optimism based on the draft additions we've made. Let's apply that realistically. We still need to be able to move the ball through the air and open up the whole field. Bryce Young either accomplishes that or he doesn't.

If our new offensive identity is run first in any way shape or form in a league that is laughably skewed toward passing just go ahead and figure out which QB we want in the draft next year.

With the team or the fans? The owners and front office want to remove the egg from their face they want to be vindicated so they have a certain level of emotional attachment. As do some fans for various reasons. But the roster is comprised of players of different position groups and different payscales that are directly affected by QB play no matter what they say publicly and many will not want to stick around if there is another season of statistical bottom of the league QB play with no viable solution. Overall. He has the 2024 season to show definitive proof he is worthy of the #1 pick or we draft another QB next year. I hope he does. I don't want to have to start over again. That being said. There's no emotional attachment. I'm not going to rejoice if he only proves himself to be a decent game manager. I will be calling for another QB to be drafted early as I've seen enough game managers. He needs to be dynamic and he needs to establish a deep ball connection. Period. That is the basic standard for a first overall quarterback. Anything less is 2025 first round QB for me.

One thing I'll say about this draft is we seem to have drafted particularly the 3 offensive players guys who have a specific personality trait. They aren't keep your head down types or timid they want to compete and they are confident in themselves. Pairing that with Canales I at least have some optimism about our offense going forward now.

I like what I'm seeing. Let's see how it all unfolds in training camp. Should be fun.

Let me get that UDFA QB.

Needed a corner got one it's a fifth rounder meh.

I like it. No one can say we aren't trying to put our QB in a position to succeed. Time to put up or shut up.

Sanders TE. We needed one the TE room was putrid. I'm eager to see how he does paired with Tremble

Alright who are we reaching for today

Alright now....let's leave that Kwame Brown energy at the door

Brother I get what you're doing and I'm giving Morgan the benefit of the doubt at least with this draft. We will know what we have by the end of the year and if he can draft worth a damn. But as of this moment by definition we are repeating the same rationalizations we made on behalf of Fitterer after Rhule was fired.

At the end of the day I can only hope for the best. Let's see what he looks like under Evero. I'm enjoying the banter from both angles on this. The folks defending Morgan might wanna dig up some draft threads the last couple of years though. Ease up on the holier than thou a bit.

Well this seems like the kind of LB pick we'd get with retaining the same scouting dept. But hopefully Morgan sees something in him. He'd know a thing or two about it.

Eh no point banning someone for tipping the pick when espn is milking tf out of this for time.

The huddle in general loved Fitterer's wheeling and dealing. The huddle has also been wrong about many many prospects they didn't like. There's truths all around. We can only hope for the best.

Lmao traded back again. Dan Morgan spent too much time around Scott Fitterer.

Remember when we rejoiced over Paradis? Corbett could be the guy we'll see. We've been having to laugh to keep from crying since Ryan Kalil left though. We've really needed to draft one. Can't run from it much longer.

That picture gets me every time lol
