BIGH2001

I don’t feel like we are any closer to being a playoff team than we were 5 years ago. We missed the playoffs from 97-02 in what was previously the worst and most depressing run in franchise history, capped off by 1-15 in 2001. We are now well past that with little reason for optimism. fug you Tepper.

I think he could go 0-17 and maybe would only get benched in a handful of games if things got out of hand (think 4 score deficits in the 4th quarter). They’re rolling with him and it’s gonna be ugly.

There’s a reason that Steve Wilks thought he was better utilized as a really big fullback.

This. There’s been thousands of QBs in NFL history. And only one Drew Brees. The odds are ever against another QB coming close to what he did.

Unfortunately this is the reality in the NFL. Even at #1 there’s a history of guys not working out, being busts etc. Its been two games but so far I haven’t seen anything that tells me we got our guy.

Yes, to the other team. His lob to Thielen last night that forced Thielen to do a full backhand extension to break up the pick was extremely impressive.

49ers gave up a lot for Lance but they were smart enough to know he sucked. I guess if he didn’t get hurt last year they might not have found out what Purdy could do. In today’s NFL you have to constantly be improving and that includes QB. If we don’t see some substantial improvement soon we need to keep taking swings at the position. None of this waiting 3 years to see if he really sucks crap.

This is a very very low bar you’re setting for progress. Basically “does he have any moves that resemble a professional quarterback at all?” Take away the #1 pick label and everything you think a #1 pick could hypothetically be and pretend for a minute he was a 4th round pick from SMU. We’d all be saying it’s been awful because it has. The flashes just aren’t there and his mental makeup is too docile to be a franchise QB.

Probably the dumbest billionaire to ever live.

If you’re a head coach it buys you an extra 1-2 seasons because you can use the “but we’re still developing your franchise quarterback” line.

Thank god we finally wrestled social media control away from Rhule. I’m surprised Fitterer didn’t trade a 2nd round pick for it.

But Shawn Jefferson put on pads and hit stuff in the preseason. I don’t understand what’s going on.

“Bryce, we decided to bring your dad in for the next play. We need an adult to move the pile. Have a seat right here beside the kicker.”

That’s our head coach/offensive coordinator playing chess again. He’s been brilliant so far. Why question it?

We haven’t really faced a good offense so far. These might be two of the better defenses we face this season but I think our schedule is about to get pretty brutal starting on the road at Seattle. They just lit up Detroit yesterday. These games could get very ugly when we can’t keep them close against bad offenses.

We’ve been so bad for so long that there’s now TWO players remaining from our last playoff team: Moton and JJ Jansen.

Underrated comment

Clausen had a few drives too. These guys are all professionals. 95% poo and 5% good. AR and Stroud have so far shown way more ability to move the ball and actually throw downfield. Bryce looks like captain checkdown when he actually gets rid of the ball at all.

Give him 5 more. Bryce Bridgewater.

I wish someone would snap Hill in half.

Can we name Evero HC?

Tepper should have just guaranteed that contract for Watson. We look like we’re about a decade away from being competitive. Everyone here will be dead before we have another winning season at this rate.

You liked the 66 yards passing and the one turnover that should have been 3?

Run the wildcat in the 2nd half. It can’t be any worse. 200 yards passing seems like 500 for Bryce.
