At least Grier is on an appropriate contract. Pickett is roughly the same caliber player but we have to pay him like he's legit and tout him as a former (idiotic) 1st round pick so that we can pretend we made a real effort to upgrade our QB room.

Just objectively speaking, Pickett has been considerably worse than Bryce. His TD production is Pickles level. He's every bit as arm talent limited as Bryce and isn't as good operating out of structure. He's even or worse than Bryce in practically every category other than looking the part from a height/weight perspective. It's hard to find an NFL QB that's truly objectively shittier than Bryce virtually across the board but damn if we didn't pull it off.

No, but we did overpay a guy who should be fighting to hang onto a roster spot in the league in order to pretend like he's an actual viable backup seemingly to ensure Bryce feels no pressure breathing down his neck from his backup - pressure we absolutely should've been trying to create this year.

I'd hire him in a heartbeat. Hell if he wanted the job, I'd have Canales packing his poo right now and I don't dislike Canales. It's just that firing a 106-58 coach is crazy work. That's a 65% winning percentage. That's the equivalent of averaging 11 wins a season. That's incomprehensible for a fanbase That's never experienced back to back winning seaons.

Honestly, I just hope the updates include the ability to open up new registrations again without getting inundated with dozens of spam accounts everyday trying to overrun the site. We've had to turn off new registrations for the better part of a year now and ultimately that is obviously not a sustainable model longterm.

Got the whole huddle like

I was prescribed dilaudid following my tonsillectomy. Nothing helped the phantom ear pain and I could deal with the throat pain so I just stopped taking them after a few days and sucked it up and dealt with it. That experience did show me a true understanding of how someone could be going through the type of chronic pain that would make them just want to end it all. If days 3-8 or so post-tonsillectomy if you're among the unlucky few that end up with the head splitting phantom ear pain was your long-term prognosis... yeah, it's time to just punch the clock.

Sounds about right IMO. Basically, outside of the QB position Dan is making overall solid moves but QB in the linchpin.

Hell, I'm not even defending Rico. He got red hot and we rode that hot streak to winning 4 out of 5 games. It is what it is and Bryce is ass.

Since we drafted Bryce we have... Drafted two 1st round WRs including a top 10 pick. Drafted two 1st round OTs including a top 10 pick. Signed two huge money OGs. Drafted another 3rd round WR. Signed a RB to a top 10 RB contract at the time. And people really want to talked about how we haven't done enough to surround this guy with talent? GTFOH...

The Bengals approach OL like we did during Cam's career. Ah, we don't need that poo! Spend it all on D (our case with Cam)! At least they give Burrow crazy elite receivers but it's hard to throw when you're flat on your back.

Top 10 QB production. I know all the physical limitations. Show me you can overcome them.

No thanks. I'll keep Walker. Freeling may not be ready to start day one or we may run unto OL injury issues. I want no excuses for Bryce. I'll take a strong OT group over trading for a backup DT from the worst rushing D in the NFL and the 2nd to worst overall D. Be honest, if his name wasn't "Kris Jenkins Jr." this would cross nobody's mind.

I'm surprised it took the league that long to realize if they just stacked the box to stop Rico that Bryce couldn't beat them with his arm. He still managed to average nearly 5ypc and rush for more than Bryce threw for against Seattle when Bryce threw for 54 yards with a playoff berth on the line. 54 fuging yards.

We would've picked top 10 this year if Rico hadn't had that stretch where he caught fire.
