Unfortunately I think they may keep Ian 1 more season. I personally wouldn't, but they may need him for the run game. At least that would be the only reason to keep him if there really is one.

There were more than a few comments on nfl network that eluded to this being a bad draft to need edge help.

I don't think so. I would bet he plays some this season. He will be a full time starter by the end of the season if not sooner. Who's his competition? His only limit is how fast he can absorb the playbook.

Yeah that's kinda important.

The RB was not going to make it past Dallas. He wasn't going to make it to the 3rd round. The Giants were trying to jump Dallas to take Brooks. We managed to jump them both to take him for what it's worth. Who knows how it will work out but at least 2 other teams thought he was worth a 2nd round pick so it's not a reach unless you think the best RB in the class is not worth it. It's all subjective opinions anyway.

That offense last year was so predictable. I really don't know what the strategy was in the end. Did Frank not trust his qb? Did he not want the qb they selected? Did he not want a rookie at all? What the actual fug was the plan? He wasn't going to work on his qb's mechanics until year 2? What the actual fug is that kind of development? I have never seen a team go so sideways as this team did last year. I mean they weren't winning much anyway because the rest of the team was ass but damn! At least do something to show you give a damn.

If he has anything other 7 yrd curls in his playbook then you might see a better offense.

They will not miss a beat without Burns. You just wait and see.

Yeah about that. What a FUBAR system that was. It appears Thielen was the only receiver Frank seem to be the primary read on damn near every play. It's either that or his was the only one consistently getting open. It was like everyone else were decoys. I don't want to see an offense like that ever again.

You don't know that. They have brought in too many pass catchers to run the ball that much. It will be as close to a 50/50 split as possible. The opponents will have more to do with it than them trying to hide Young. If you haven't noticed the run game was complete ass. You have to be able to run the ball at will to consistently win in this league.

Oh I'm the same way. My only hope with this team is to just see something different and positive. Day to day life has enough stress to deal with and I'm not adding more over something I have no control over.

I don't think this is hiding him at all. If anything it will expose him. Every qb in the league needs help. They are providing him with the same amount of talent that most good teams in the league have. If he cannot perform in a normal environment like that then he is exposed. How is that hiding him?

None of our receivers will be on the field for 100% of the snaps. There's always a rotation to give guys breaks throughout the game. It has always been that way and is that way for every team in the league.

It doesn't matter if it's not guaranteed. It means nothing. They can cut I'm at anytime.

I have to constantly remind myself that I'm just an observer and have nothing to do with the success of the team. It gets extremely difficult sometimes.

Ask me after the 1st preseason game.

1 winning season since 2015.

They all have to learn the system and adjust the the speed of the game. So yes some adjust faster than others. Some are forced to start and learn on the fly. It comes down to whether your team needs them to start because everyone else at the position is ass and the rookie is the best of the bunch. See Carolina Panthers.

My knock is not so much who they took as it is how they went into the draft. They had decided the 1st 2 picks before the draft even started. That just erks me to be that focused on the player and not the position available after the pool has thinned out a little. Maybe I'm being to critical with this. I cannot seem to separate my professional mindset from the football fan.

My favorite thing about him is he can catch. He has great hands.

Exactly.

It really does matter where a rookie qb ends up.

Depends on the rookie.

Picking qbs come down to luck, coaching and system they start off in as rookies.

Grades are subjective at best. Anyone can slap a grade on it, even me. Is it accurate? Hell no. It won't be official for a couple of seasons.
