Read it again.

This is football, not female spouse behavior. Ahh, maybe it is. And this poo goes both ways. I'm working hard towards 'if there isn't any SH there won't be any IT".

I think I am going to file your post under 'Complaining about complaining, and those people complaining sure are assholes".

The bright side is that we just about have closure.

Rehabbing the retread label. I wanted another retread instead of all that over paying to draft one. With a view that this is what we could get. Now, maybe without having to watch Bryce play this wouldn't look so great. But we did and it does.

I read okay but type dyslexic lol. All the time.

What gets me is the Dante, Diontae, D'onta, all this creative spelling. KISS.

Dane Jackson? Hey, remember, it's a big man's game. Maybe we're running a 56 defense or something.

They'll be needing a lot of hair dryers. Duke power I mean.

Never mind I think I assumed stuff that wouldn't be there. No big deal. Thanks.

Nothing specific. More if they get a lot of bottom 5 type of representation. Or not.

To me, his selection falls under the 'sell out for Bryce's sake' draft philosophy we had adopted. The catching and route running in addition to the ball carrying was the motivation for targeting him. I'd have rather not signed both guards to that huge money and found a real good prospect. But I understood what was going on. At the time, I saw it as important for Young to have all the excuses thoroughly countered so things would be clear - for whoever wasn't clear. So wasn't bitching like a lot of people were over no center.

I haven't had a shred of hope since draft night 2023, until they benched draft night 2023. Which was a decline from the very little hope I had since Tepper bought the team

That's farther along than I thought I would see this year.

I always thought he was mostly bull. Talented as hell but that ego was offensive pretty much. Then a few years ago I heard some Braves people talking about him from the baseball days and they had great things to say about him as a teammate and person and he was being all humble and religious and seemed cool. But now, he is like ultimate over the top sports dad, it is too much like the little league version with dad as the coach (which, some men can do that and not come off like it's all about their kid, but it seems to me that does not describe Deon).

Umm, the black cat lurks.

That's great. What other years are scoring badly? Seeing any other across the board 'leaders'?

It's okay to discuss it now, not like it will progress to signing in a week or two from here. As far as his price on an expiring contract, having the inside track to a potent WR, if you think you are about to do something, that is a feature. It is an edge for your team, if you decide he fits (and also depending on the other UFA WRs which I haven't looked up). But it adds an incentive in the right market. We can also bluff that we are getting a comp pick either way so why would we sell close to that... You don't HAVE to trade him, but you can give people the opportunity to get some bidding fever going. As far as drafting we need to remember both our the top offensive coaches came up working with receivers. I think they probably have a good eye for evaluation relative to the fit they want. I don't think we need to tie our past WR flubs to these guys.

If you are saying that as annual pay, I don't think so, but you are right that he is valuable and good.

Sold!

You guys are missing the big picture looking at your little dots. It's comical that you ridicule others for seeing what you are unable to process.

Having your worst pick ever will pull down a grade.

Yeah. Wallace is getting beat his ass beat right now and will be learning how not to get his ass beat for a while. It's okay as long as he learns and he will.

Wrong thread.

Are you saying it is easier to fix Bryce Young than to find a better option? I think that is your point so I'll respond to that. Better is really easy; take one of the UFDAs like Bagent of the other one the beat us last year... I forget who it was. Doesn't matter. The point is that unheralded nondescript guys are better for the NFL than Young. or the right option meaning the best, It was pretty easy last year as long as you didn't forget it is the NFL we are talking about not college. Pick the guy that looks like he could be what we have seen succeed in the league before. And we had three guesses besides Bryce. They fuged up a slam dunk. As fas as fixing him, first I don't think you are really acknowledging his issues. They are so deeply fundamental to his play that he has to to be totally rebuilt. But you have the restriction that you can't improve any of his physical shortcomings, that's a factory issue. So taking him as he is, and turning that into an NFL capable player that can read defenses and beat them with his arm, may as well hope to bring peace to the Middle East.
