Falcons, Pats, Cards, WFT, Miami, Falcons, Bills, Bucks, Saints, Bucks. Realistically... we have what, 2-3 winnable games left?

Man this has been a roller coaster of a season. Most people came into the season with low expectations. Some had hopes of sneaking into the playoffs but that was based on Sam Darnold playing like a top 3 pick with 4 years experience. What we got was reality. We got the NYJ version of Sam Darnold. BUT we beat terrible teams. Now we just got beat by a terrible team. It sucks. I think our defense will be fine. But we still need an oline and a QB... same concerns we came into the year with. Missing that 2nd rounder sucks

I don't trust that Brady would know how to use him

The offense is depressing The defence is depressing

We always knew we were trading for an unknown commodity. We traded for upside, just like we did with Sam Darnold. That said, I still like the trade. We need to get Tremble reps. Thomas is looking good. We need to build this team for the years a head and Henderson helps with that.

This place sucks lately. Seriously.

Good for them. Hope everyone gets what they want. Plus there are probably more massage therapists for Deshaun in Miami. Win/Win/Win ??

All depends on how we lose. Something catastrophic would need to happen to justify firing someone.

Exactly. Sam is a high upside, high downside guy. TB is just a guy.

Thats fair.

@Squid Game you seem to be having a rough day dude.. maybe check off the internet for a while.

Yup. I know there are a lot of people we passed on Fields or Jones but man we would have been even further set back had we picked up a rookie QB. I trust Fitterer will have a plan to add more talent to the roster, but it doesnt happen all in 1 year, Hurney left us with a mess. Year 3 is where I personally start to think we need to make make significant progress and really push to contend and Im excited about what I see. I think we will get there.

I really agree with this statement. I was bullish on Darnold, I still hold out hope that he comes around this season yet. 5 completions at halftime, I put that more on the OC than the QB. I think the team building is trending in the right direction. Yeah we lost a bunch in a row but Min and Dal are better teams than us right now. We should have beat the Eagles. We have a lot of season left, Im going to try to R E L A X and see how the season plays out.

Well simply stated its cause we have paid him already. We should not have taken the 5th year option in hindsight. But be as it may, we did. Im not saying he is QB 1 next year, but cutting him would compound the issue. Bring in more oline help. Bring in competition.

Thats fair. I think the team went with the upside of Darnold vs the consistency of Bridgewater. Season is not over yet and we are locked into him for next year. So we may as well try to make this work. Im not saying that Sam is the answer, but I also dont want to see us waste a 1st round pick behind the oline as is stands. We need to fix the oline this offseason THEN see if we need a new QB.

Im not an offensive guru... so I have a question on Brady... Is he creating good plays but the team unable to execute them because of the oline? Brady seems like hes a smart guy, but maybe the team just cannot execute his scheme at this point? I feel like we run every OC out of town... I cannot remember one OC we actually all liked.

Every team has a Thursday game. Yeah CMC comments on the lack of body repair time made me take notice.

We have Darnold for another year. We will have a 5-15 draft pick so likely QB is out. We need to build the oline. We have the cap to spend in FA for that and then draft that. It will be ok.

I'm also scared that this team tends to chase decent OCs out of town early

When does the media stop calling Brady a genius?

Joe Brady continually is called a genius. But I would expect that a guy like that could get consecutive completions game plan

At this point we have traded draft picks for him so we may as well play with the season and Hope he develops

This is painful

I was definitely not a fan of the Hubbard pick because we had CMC but man that is looking like a good selection right now

Im well versed to speak about construction. There are a lot of misconceptions here so lets have do an example I can speak to. If my kid came up to me and said "Dad how to I make the most amount of money the fastest?" I would say work as an electrician. Working in a SKILLED trade pays very well from day 1. For an example, my brother wanted to become an architect. Where Im from thats minimum 8 years university before you graduate. Average starting wage for an 18 year old electrician is 40k. Average starting wage for a 26 year old architect is 60k Now you might say, that 20k difference will be caught up on shortly. But your forgetting that the architect has 8 years of not working (cause your paying for school) vs 8 years of working. If both kids are equally ambitious the electrician will specialize in security wiring, data or just start their own company. The architect will need to work for another decade before they have any of those opportunities. If both kids are ambitious they can both get rich. The gap between white collar and blue collar AMBITIOUS people is nill.
