Way too early to tell. We have a ton of cap invested in the OL and we need to see how that group looks against better competition than the worst teams in the league. Same with the defense. Beyond that I can agree that the recent draft picks are showing promise. But there's still an elephant looming large. The QB room. Yeah we're squeaking by teams like the Dolphins but as we get further into our schedule and play teams that have better rosters better QB's better defenses and good coaching staffs we're going to be talking about these things a good bit most likely. Just pace yourselves folks.

Drew Brees and Bryce Young have nothing in common other than Drew was a little bit taller. Other than that even when Brees was near the end he still had a better arm than Bryce Young. And Drew had a different physical build. In his prime it's not even close. Completely different players. It's the same with people saying early on Bryce was a smaller Russell Wilson. Completely different players physically. Both Brees and Wilson clearly regularly hit the weight room through their careers as well. Bryce Young has pretty much zero physical traits and he won't even try to put in some work in the weight room. Three years in a row he shows up looking exactly the same. People can talk about his frame and this and that and in some ways there is validity to it but let's be real there's no excuse for him not to even attempt given his aforementioned limitations. To not even try is the sign of someone who does not want to be great. Which is the complete opposite of what many people had him billed as before the draft. It's inexcusable.

I agree and we should leave no stone unturned in seeking actual competition in the QB room. I would say it should be a given and an automatic assumption that we will do that but sadly we cannot assume that will 100% be the case with the history of decisions by our brain trust.

No it is not but without that you need to be incredibly savvy from the pocket and have a high football IQ and the ability to diagnose and react on the fly. That was supposed to be Bryce Young. And he has neither of those qualities.

Hey you got any updates on the Texans? Last I heard you were dunking on them for being 0-3.

Russell and Lance didn't get nearly as many chances and excuses with the team that drafted them. 34 games and still arguing it's up in the air is just crazy talk let's be real.

You aren't any less inconsistent than anyone else here get real. And you've already declared Bryce Young a bust twice. You were up first thing this morning trying to fight people. The time you spend here is more unhealthy than anyone else clearly. Is this what you do on other social media? Try to get people to fight you then flail about them spending time responding to you? I feel sorry for you. I hope things get better!

Every single QB since Cam was released the first time has been bad mouthed. And even he got the smoke the second time around. All this flailing about criticism of the QB is just performative. And as I keep saying. Baker and Sam both have significant physical talent. All they had to do was take a step or two in the mental aspects and that's what they did. And that's why so many teams take chances on draft prospects with all the physical tools.

This is bottom of the barrel trolling. You insinuate others don't have a life or significant others yet this is how you spend your early mornings on a Monday. Use that smartphone you're on to find a therapist.

99% of the huddle said Darnold and Mayfield sucked here. Don't sit around pretending like you wanted them. Nobody is going to shut up. You can yammer on about people being old while we know you're just as old as everyone else. Nobody cares. If this is how you spend your mornings I feel sorry for you. Good luck bud!

8 am trying to fight people online lol Get some help.

Our owner is far too impatient and impulsive for that. I tried to be kind and give you grace but you just don't know how to interact with others apparently. You already quit the team once when Cam left now you simp for a Jimmy Clausen clone who you've already declared a bust twice in two years. Why don't YOU leave?

Jake in his prime was a gutsy QB. But just like with even someone like Cam. Father time is undefeated. It's very unfortunate we have a guy who is only 24 years old that has an equivalent arm to that. Absolutely blows my mind that our brain trust lacked the basic common sense to value arm talent when making a massive trade with ramifications for years to come. Unforgivable incompetence.

Arm talent. You either have it or ya don't

It's coming up on that time of the year to watch the greatest holiday film featuring the late Bernie Mac and John Ritter.

Apparently he's already thrown his defensive coordinator under a speeding bus following the loss. You can't lose to the Carolina Panthers and not offer up a sacrifice folks.

Patriots offense is very meh so far. Can't believe we let this team drop 40+ on us.

Wasn't this the whole argument for why CJ Stroud's rookie season was a fluke? But now it's different for Bryce when his running back has a career day because reasons?

He's gained some confidence along with the other rookies. It's a blessing to see. Don't expect any of these folks to take back the things they've said about him though. They were ready to ship him out after 16 games but are still making excuses for the guy with 34 games under his belt. No consistency!

I just saw the Texans/Ravens score wow. I know Baltimore was without Lamar but damn.

Look I've been as loud of a Sam Darnold critic in the past as anyone and he's assuredly going to crumble in the playoffs inevitably but can you acknowledge at least in the regular season his arm talent makes his receivers better? It matters.

His pass "attempts" to the sideline are the worst I've seen from any QB and we have played some really bad quarterbacks over the years.

Guys cut him some slack he's had a rough go of it this year.

He's seemed to have found his stride in the regular season. But in the playoffs he just falls apart in epic failure fashion. I have a very hard time believing he's going to break that cycle. But he is getting jobs because of his physical talent so good for him. You gotta have that if you want a career in this league as a QB.
