They were able to run the ball better over right guard than left. This kid has some serious potential.

We are only without a 1st round pick next draft. If he doesn't work out we will be high enough in the 2025 draft to take another shot with our 1st in that draft. I'm not sure where you get a half decade?

There were more deep threats in the league at the time. And the league hadn't turned into the passing league as it has now. You need a stable full of those guys now.

You and half the league right now.

Frank has said numerous times in the offseason that he will call plays initially and at some point turn it over to Brown. I would say after the first game might be premature for him to make that decision. He will probably make that decision around the by-week break if I were guessing. That will ultimately come down to when he is comfortable that Thomas is ready and he no longer wants or needs to do it.

It would have been a TD. It was a game changing opportunity. Another one of those what could go wrong did go wrong.

Great summary! That's exactly what I saw out there but I couldn't have said it any better. Have some pie on me.

Say we traded up and we drafted *insert qb name* and it doesn't work out, how far are we set back should have been asked before the offseason. This is how that works. You take a shot, just like everyone was screaming for and you live with it. You won't know until you know. It certainly isn't the first damn game of the season you dolt.

It just looked like whatever could go wrong did go wrong. We beat ourselves really. From timing to turnovers and penalties, you name it. We won every statistical category but the scoreboard. I hate to borrow a phrase from Ron but it was truly missed opportunities all game long.

He missed Mingo on the 20 yarder that he was wide open, not sure what quarter it was. The miss to TMJ was the 40 yard pass TMJ pulled up on. These young WRs have to learn to finish their routes even when they think the ball is not coming to them. Bryce can actually get past his second read so they better be ready on every series. It's just a communication thing they're going to have to work on.

It was. It just didn't happen according to Frank. I think he said they ended up calling 4 or 5 but they only were able to throw 2 of those and missed both. That would have changed the game if they connected on at least 1 of those.

Nice spread. Got to work on those chunk plays though. They've got to work on the routing running and communication between Bryce and the receivers. It will get better in time.

I think he thought his starters would play better. Or at least he thought he had more "starter" level players than what we actually have. I mean I knew some of them would not start on another team but I'm not an optimist like Frank. Scott gets the players and Frank decides who plays. They both have work to do and not a lot of room for error.

He needed to evaluate other players to find out just how bad our depth really is. We all found that out. It's why he said he didn't know what type of team he was going to have until the played game 1. Now he knows what he's dealing with and he has his work cut out for him. I think he just got conformation on why this was a perennial 5 to 6 win team and why its going to take more than Bryce to fix it.

You don't want to peak too soon. See it every season where they are predicting the conference Champs after 3 or 4 games into the season. It's rare any of those 3 game champions even make the playoffs. They never learn.

The other picks were irrelevant. We still have a future. Nothing was given up but two of our skill players. Granted it was our 2 best skill players but it's not our "future". What we had wasn't working so we started over. This is what happens when you clean house. Get used to it this season.

If I'm not mistaken that future was only next season. We still have a 1st round pick in 2025, if Fitterer doesn't trade it before then.

The separation he gets is due to him being a 4th read option. The defense doesn't count him in coverage if most our options are covered. His separation is misleading, but he can move once he gets the ball in his hands. If he becomes more of a receiving threat then defenses will tighten that up to where he would be in line with the others. Basically, the defense never really worries about him in the open field as a receiver until they have to. Yesterday they didn't.

You are wasting your time with that guy. He's the kind that didn't want Bryce or Frank in the first place so nothing either of them do will be good enough.

It comes from the CJ Stroud, AR and Howell fanboys. They never wanted Young to begin with and are looking for anything to discount him. Some will NEVER accept Young not matter what he does. We will see where all these qb's stand at the end of the season.
