If he’s “much” better, you are looking at 4000 yards and 30TDs. That puts him easily in top 10. If he’s top 10, we’ll extend him.

Pretty much. Worst case scenario is we burn $26M for a backup in 2027. I feel like I already know Young isn’t the guy to bring us deep in the playoffs but the team wants to confirm. Rather than signing a huge extension, we’ve got a 2 year review. We should know after 2026 but the 2027 draft may not go the way we want so at least we’ve got a QB for 2 years.

Problem is he had two good games against the Rams and people forget that the secondary was absolutely terrible hence all the offseason signings at DB. We have a 1st place schedule so we’ll find out. I would be very disappointed in an extension as a good OL and WR crew (if Brazzell works out) is going to be underperforming with Young.

Was just coming in to post the snippet below from the site. I don’t care what draft site it is, our 2023 draft, considering what we gave up, is absolutely the worst draft we or any other franchise has ever had. We gave away Jalen Carter, Caleb Williams or Drake Maye, DJ Moore and a few other 2nd rounders for poo and a small QB leading a bottom tier passing offense. The Panthers take our top spot for the second time. We ranked them No. 1 in 2023 when they took Bryce Young first overall. This time around, they picked No. 19.

TD was the exception that proves the rule.

No worries. I liked our draft but hearing someone say he looked bad in the combine drills and this play on X makes me concerned. I watched Little’s combine drills because Marty was supposedly in love and we needed OL and he looked like the Freeling video on every drill. He looked like the worst OL out there so hearing someone say Freeling’s combine drills were bad is a punch in the gut. Let’s hope it was a bad play and Freeling’s athleticism can get rid of the raw. Little’s RAS score was terrible as well. He completely poo the entire combine. Effin Hurney was so bad at scouting. I don’t care how many 1st rounders he hit. Picking top 10 isn’t hard.

lol. That said, the hopium around the 7th rounders and UDFAs is crazy. The legends of Beau Sandland and Jeremy Cash come to mind. Aside from Norwell and maybe Philly we’ve had tiny flashes, but nothing real for over a decade. Butker was the only other chance in the 7th but we all know how that went.

SMH. Yep, I was just saying this one play means everything. Combine drills are big to me so someone saying they watched them and he looked like Little out there is concerning. We’ve got people saying he had the wrong cleats on when Indy has turf and has literally hosted every combine I can recall. No one wears the wrong cleats there. Oh well, I’m a bit more worried about a raw guy because some flag football coach watched the drills and felt similar to how I felt when Little ran drills. Also, by the way, Little was considered a top 15 prospect by all the same ex-NFLers until his combine was so bad and we still took him in the second. Heck, Little was a PFF all star because he gave up 1 sack in his much longer college career. Little’s athleticism was terrible too so at least Freeling might be able to fix the reaching and falling but I’d rather have heard he killed it on the positional drills instead of looking terrible.

All I know is that he posted about Freeling looking bad in the combine drills (position stuff not #s stuff), which reminds me of Little. After watching the fluidity of Burns, watching Little in the combine drills was a huge red flag. He was the only OL I absolutely didn’t want us to take. Hurney had to miss Little’s drills due to a meatball sub. Anyway, I didn’t watch the drills this year but this was posted above and it certainly makes me concerned. Little always reached and fell down. Hopefully Freeling is just raw but I’m concerned due to another Huddler’s evaluation of Freeling’s combine position drills. https://x.com/trappanthers/status/2047800343723938239?s=46

When was the last time a waiver wire pickup became a starter? If a player wasn’t drafted by us, signed in real free agency, signed as a UDFA right after the draft or stolen off another teams PS after the draft (like Butker), there’s basically zero chance the player will ever be useful. It’s like our love of 7th rounders, they won’t do anything.

I like the draft class and hopefully we get some surprise impacts but I don’t have a warm fuzzy feeling that we’ll get true impact/above average starters. Just getting a starter is nice but we’ve had a ton of recent draft picks that played a lot and we’re still JAGs to be replaced. I’m hoping we get surprised by a couple true impact starters that make the team better not just replace guys like Scott or XL or Corbett.

Why was Love a great move? The two WRs taken right after Love were Tee Higgins and Michael Pittman. You don’t think Rodgers could have used them? Love is 27-20-1 as the starter and is 1-3 in the playoffs. Rodgers last 4 years was 47-18 and 2-3 in the playoffs but they also had byes as they won their division 3 times. Love has finished 2nd in the division once. Sorry, but I think Rodgers having Adams and Higgins together from 2020+ would have had more success than the 1 playoff win that Love has had. The Packers were clearly better at the end of Rodgers run than they’ve been lately.

Didn’t realize he was slow.

Couldn’t be happier. Great pick and great job trading back and still getting Hecht.

A few guys left (all positions) who I’d rather have than XL.
