  1. Ordering a meatball sub for later?
  2. You can’t help it can you, lol. Gotta get the last word in, but I’ll let you reply again and let you have the last word. It is funny that you complain in every thread about other people complaining and don’t see the irony.
  3. It is but it did make for some interesting posts. I had RBs autocorrected to Arabs one time on a FF board and it slightly changed the post.
  4. Dude, just stop. You aren’t that guy. You think you are, but you aren’t. Rhule comes up in every thread. He sucked bad enough, no need to invent stuff, so if I want to correct someone with facts, I will. I really don’t care about your opinion so feel free to not reply to my posts.
  5. Always blame autocorrect. Also, it’s grammar with an A.
  6. I still don’t get this. Again, I always feel like I have to caveat this with a yes, Rhule sucked and I don’t ever want him back, but it’s not true. All the complaints about Rhule and rookies are really unfounded. There were tons of people in here that thought Iky should be eased in as a G first. He was named starter at the start of training camp and never once got a snap at G. Brown, Chinn and Horn all started day 1 as well. Any rookie that played well started day 1. Even TMJ, who wasn’t good as a rookie played half the snaps as our WR3. Tremble started 11 games as a rookie. Pride started 8 games as a rookie. YGM hasn’t done much but he also started 7 games as a rookie and Roy started 9 games as a rookie. We complained about BC not playing T for Rhule and yet here we are and no one’s complaining that he’s the starting LG. He also started 6 games as a rookie and all 17 in his second year. We haven’t exactly hit the jackpot in the draft from 2020 to 2022, but we’ve used and started a lot of rookies. Rhule didn’t dilly dally on a single 1st rounder. Horn, Brown and Iky were all starters in training camp and all started day 1. God, I really hate defending Rhule but I will and hopefully it contributes to one day not hearing him come up in every thread.
  7. I’m over him not getting traded, purely on the value we could have gotten to help Young, but that win and in Tampa game last year was about as meaningful as it gets. With Horn out, we needed some pressure from him and got very little. Luvu had a way bigger impact that game.
  8. Yep. We know Rhule sucked but what player trying to earn time isn’t going to throw the old regime under the bus and say good things about the new one? You can tell it’s all puff when Tremble said that the team trusts him, which is why they didn’t draft a TE. No, we had holes at WR and Edge as well (bigger needs than TE with Hurst) and after the Young trade we didn’t really have a chance to pick a TE. If Kincaid was there when Mingo was picked, I don’t doubt we would have taken a TE.
  9. My youngest is trying to pick the game or maybe 2 games that I’ll take him to for his birthday and he’s stoked. I’m a bit more subdued but I’m very much liking the direction. Still pissed Tepper didn’t use my tank for Trevor plan, but glad we at least boarded the top rookie QB train. Just would have been nice to not waste 3 years in the process! I mean, what clown thought we’d compete with Teddy, Sam and Baker. Their names even sound like they should be working at Krispy Kreme not QBing our team.
  10. I understand the reluctance. I’m ecstatic that we finally got a rookie QB I like after three years of putting lipstick on pigs. I also remember the playoff seeding talk after week 3 in 2021. We weren’t saying fire Rhule after a competitive 2020 (8 of 11 losses by 1 score) without Cam, Luke, Bradberry and CMC for 13 games. I remember people saying Teddy would throw for 4000 and 30. We’ve won a max 7 games in 5 years even with two 17 game seasons. Some of us are worn down by the losses. Even with a bit of sparks last year, we still choked during the huge Tampa game. Our division sucks so we’ve got a chance but Young’s a rookie so we’ll likely have growing pains. I think some people do want to be right more than winning, which is odd, but some of us are just being realistic. I don’t think TMJ is going to be the next big thing but if he turns into Chase, lol, I’ll be glad.
  11. No worries at all, snowflake! I don’t even like Levis and think he’ll need some sort of huge revelation to become a good starter. Also, no insecurities here, just replying my observation of some of the folks in here that take their support of players a wee bit too seriously. I mean some of the posts about CMC saying he enjoyed being in SF instead of playing for Rhule after all his buddies (Cam, Olsen, Luke, TD…) we’re gone turned into the offense was much better when he left, which amazingly enough was incorrect. I’m all in on Young and the coaches.
  12. The worst time of year for Football is now, after the draft and before training camp. The practices are fluff for reporting and you still have 90 guys rostered. I’m looking forward to preseason games just to see something real. Huge turnover like 2020, so even the preseason will be interesting.
  13. Happens every year with the draft and QBs. Stroud and Young were top 5 guys just like 2021 where we knew we’d have a few top 1st rounders. Heck, Fields should have gone higher but Wilson and Lance got crazy love like AR. Richardson was a freak and Indy went for it but Willis, Levis, Corral, etc. all went later than their hypers pumped them up as 1st rounders even with obvious flaws.
  14. Lol. I don’t have any faith in him, just think it’s funny our mentality in here. Just responding to the other guy because it’s obvious how we act about ours versus theirs. It’s why we are the most obsessive fan base and respond so defensively like a victim. I mean, could your post be more in line with that, snowflake.
  15. That’s the norm in here. We cling to our players until they leave and then they always sucked. We overrate our own guys like crazy. It’s a weird phenomenon and I am not a Levis fan either. One bad day is meaningless, just like one really good day is as well. We’ll know about our guy this year but Levis isn’t starting for at least a year.
  16. I got smacked for saying injuries could happen but man, that’s got me worried as heck. We are paper thin and last year we were relatively healthy. We had one key injury at the end of the year with Horn and our pass D fell apart. Our pass rush falls apart without Burns. Our interior DL sucks without Brown. We are one injury away at tackle from Erving being a starter. We already are thin with Corbetts injury and then you are Mays and Erving away from guys I’ve never heard of starting.
  17. Under Rhule, TMJ was WR3, behind DJ and Anderson and he played 1 actual game under Rhule in 2022. Anderson was traded one game after Rhule was gone. Who cares, that wasn’t the assertion. Also, your 30% under Rhule is very misleading because of all the missed games. Go to PFR and in 2021, it’s says he got 48% of snaps but he missed 4 games. In 2022, he only had one full game under Rhule. When TMJ was in the game, he got WR3 snaps (just under half) with Anderson and when he was WR2 without Anderson he got 85%+ except for 1 game. That’s plenty of snaps and not much production. He was playing almost the entire game under Wilks yet he had 3 or less targets in 8 of 11 games. I stand on my thought that Mingo has a much better shot IMHO to emerge as the top WR than Marshall.
  18. And Hurst. I think both will take a bigger piece of the pie than their counterparts last year.
  19. You can be hopeful TMJ takes the next step but “hardly on the field” is wrong. DJ and Robby were WR1 and WR2 and for the 13 games TMJ played, he received 48% of the snaps. He was WR3 and was on the field half the time. He was WR2 last year and was on the field for 77% of the snaps (missed 3 games) and that was even with Robby being WR2 until being traded. Again, blame everything else but don’t say he didn’t have enough snaps, because it isn’t true. Personally, I think Mingo has a better shot because I haven’t ever felt like TMJ got enough consistent separation, hence so many people thinking he barely played.
  20. Can’t see the Cardinals going QB. Contract wise they are basically stuck with Murray until 2026. I’d think the trade market for Murray is almost non-existent.
  21. He’s just OK. He’s got speed and we opened up holes. The funny thing is that stat to me says more about the OL blocking than his ability. Least amount of time behind the line and most N/S yardage just means he runs straight through and open hole. That’s what we saw. He’s not someone who can create something or make people miss. We saw that last year when we played good teams and bad teams. When the Lions kept only 7 guys in the box all day, we had huge holes but when the OL faced a good D, we got shut down. There was not much in the middle because our RB’s couldn’t create if the hole wasn’t there immediately. That’s the difference with someone like CMC who we saw make something out of nothing with the mainly pop line we had after 2017. Speaking of punts, it’s almost funny how people in here wanted him released early last year for the drops and now many of the same people think he’s a good RB. Heck, above people are saying he improved receiving but he had 14 catches, less than 1 per game, which is a tiny sample size. He’s a backup and that’s it. Any RB could have had a solid year with us with the way our OL blocked most weeks.
  22. I was told last offseason that Marshall was breaking out and we’d have a top 10 WR corps. I have some goofballs following me around pooing posts, so I’m sure I’ll get some on this but oh well. We always tend to overrate our players in here. When they leave they were useless and we were better without them. When they sign here or get drafted they are studs. We need TMJ to take another big step, Mingo to be a solid rookie, Chark to stay healthy and Thielen to not regret more. There are a lot of ifs, like you said and I need to see it before we say we are solid at WR.
  23. Yeah, weird. It’s funny because we were pretty healthy last year until week 17. Our only key injury was Horn and his was not turf related. You’d think the numbers would be easily available. The injuries are tracked and you know exactly what surface players were on every week. It’s not hard.
  24. Again, I didn’t say bank on injuries just that we were healthy last year and didn’t really lose anyone until Horn and he was only out 3 games last year. Our depth is terrible. Where is our pass rush without Burns? What does our run D look like without Brown? Do you recall our pass D when Horn missed the last 3 weeks? We aren’t close to the Eagles in DL depth or SF in overall depth. I was saying that we are really thin and I’d expect more injuries than last year due to regression to the mean. I don’t see any concerns about our depth anywhere. I’m very concerned about it, especially at OL. We haven’t drafted well outside of the 1st the last few years and we’ve been trading away picks like candy. Aside from Young, who I like, those trades have not helped and have hurt our talent level/depth.
  25. It’s hysterical. 2 QBs who’ve been in the league now for at least two years and they are 1 for 2 hitting targets running straight down the field with no defenders and no rushers. If you do fantasy, don’t pick Godwin or Evans.
