I really don't understand the hate he gets at times. He's an elite pass rusher. There's a reason why we fielded the offers we did for him. The dude is a very valuable roster piece. With that said, we're gonna continue to suck until we fix our coaching and quarterbacking problems.

That's honestly a negative. You would've liked to have seen some improvement.

Sure, I'm happy for him. No hard feelings from me. It just underscores what an awful organization we've become. Who would've known that we would ultimately look back on the sporadic successes of the JR era as the good old days? Who would've known that when Tepper said the days of mediocrity we're over that he actually meant that we would soon long for the days of that mediocrity?

We'll have to wait and see. If we can't solve the coach and QB problem then pretty much none of the rest of the stuff matters.

Not crowning. Simply stating the reality that he looked a lot better after 30 hours with McVay than he ever did here, even though he was working out of a heavily trimmed down playbook and backup WRs and OTs. Make no mistake about it, the entire league is laughing at us right now.

Crazy. Sounds like cheating to me.

There's several that aren't. Pick one.

"a"? There's half a dozen already. Pick one.

Scoreboard aside, it was blatantly obvious Mayfield was looking better than he ever did here.

Dude looked better after 30 hours with McVay, a dozen plays on a wristband, and practice squaders at OT and WR than he ever did here. That's a reality check.

Welp, Mayfield just threw the game winner.

Where is the "drooling"? You're imagining stuff. Simply saying Baker looks significantly better after barely over a day in L.A. isn't drooling, it's just acknowledging reality.

Yep. They may be in rebuild mode if Stafford can't bounce back from the injuries. That would've been a crippling trace for them if they do indeed find themselves in rebuild mode.

I wonder what it would be like rooting for a team with coaches that actually tried to tailor their game plans to fit the strengths of their roster?

Baker looks better after 30 hours with McVay than he ever did here. Can't say I'm surprised by that.

Every time I watch the Raiders I'm left thinking that ya know Derek Carr is a pretty decent QB but the Raiders just fuging suck. Props to the Rams for winning the SB because damn, they fuging suck too. They loaded up and went all in and it paid off. Sure wish we'd done that when we had an MVP talent at QB.

A new coach is gonna want a new QB. It's pretty much that simple. If you tell candidates that you're rolling with Corral your candidate pool immediately narrows to guys with no other options

Not gonna happen. An OL isn't gonna win that award, period. An OL on a bad team sure as hell isn't going to win it. He looks like a core piece of this team's future. That's awesome. But he nor any other OL is gonna win OROY.

Not sure I'd call shot in the dark early December mock drafts "linking" him to us. I mean, we don't even know what our organization is going to look like come draft day. I don't think anyone can honestly draw any sort of conclusions about what our draft board might eventually look like.

I guess you missed the deep out off of play action into tight coverage maybe 20% of the way in.

I'm gonna start banning folks for making more Baker threads. Seriously.

Yeah, there were terrible. Curious to see next year if they play better elsewhere. I'm just not seeing much evidence our secondary kids are getting coached up. The worst I've ever seen though was the Tre Boston years. I couldn't tell if he was part of the problem or if he was just having to cover for everyone else's mistakes. In hindsight, the answer to both questions was "yes".

For sure. I won't be surprised to see the Giants all over Richardson. Daboll is the guy who developed Josh Allen.

I've been on the record of saying I love Richardson's talent and potential. With that said, we'd be an awful landing spot for him. The Cam comparisons would come hot and heavy along with those types of expectations. He'd be much better off getting drafted by somebody like the Vikings or the Lions where he could sit and learn behind a decent vet for a year or two without the comparisons to a physically similar former NFL MVP hanging over his head. Cam is his ceiling but let's be honest, Akili Smith is his floor. He's boom or bust. His game is either gonna translate and he's gonna be a stud or it won't and he'll be a total bust. I can't see anything in between. For the record, I said the exact same thing about Cam Newton.

I don't have a jersey from anyone currently on the team. The last jersey I bought was a Luke jersey. I have Cam in all three colors, Luke, Jake in black and white, Smitty in blue and white, and Peppers in all three colors.
