Dude, he's had to endure Bryce "180" Young. Talking about a handicap...For Tetairoa to have the production he's had is a miracle. And, as you should know, the best ability is availability. If Egbuka and Dart are injured, they can't be OROTY. If Ward is having rookie troubles or whatever, OROTY is out of the realm of reality. I'd say it all equals out---akin to poetic justice. Where's the loyalty? Keep pounding, and not for the opposition. T-mac will be a perennial top 10 receiver for years to come---too five if we can get our QB straight.

I really don't think so. They're different receivers. Coker doesn't have that straight line speed. X may have to worry if we bring someone else in, but I still think he has a chance to get it together.

You took the words right out of my mouth. Someone needs to do a study on teams who have great wins and terrible losses all in the same season. We have to be high on the list in NFL history.

If course they fug it up. Denver will get their comeuppance in the playoffs.

fug the Saints. Panthers in a blowout!

Just like we did. Surprised people couldn't see it.

Man, I gotta get up at 5

Damn

I hate Denver and Payton so much.

That's likely going to tell the story. He'll have two weeks to prepare, so no excuses.

As for all the people hyping up Dowdle and downplaying Chuba for the hundreth time, the likelihood of Chuba getting chopped in favor of Dowdle is not very high. There is probably even less of a likelihood that he's our RB1 once a healthy JB enters the equation. That's just the way it is.

I approve of that message, but do we have the capital---draft and real---to make an impact? Intellectually, I think this may be true, but I have a difficult time believing that this is in the realm of reality, especially the 1a part of the equation. I know that it seems like we've been down this road before, but the remaining regular season games may just tell the story about how serious the need is for a QB. And even with that, I hope that this FO hasn't already made up its mind that we have our short or long term answer at the position. Moreover, keep in mind that Bryce is actually playing for something more than moral victories this time.

My son was trying to say he got lucky, but I told him that he jumped. That stands for something...Wait!

Could be. He's certainly not looking like the guy that we overpaid for.

Last week.

Pretty funny!

My son and I were fearful that he was going to be undone by the Peanut Punch from behind. He looked like he was running in quicksand.

If you don't see Chuba's patience, it's because you can't see.

Dowdle does not have break away speed. Chuba is faster than Dowdle, and he's a patient runner that I've heard analysts compare to Leveon Bell on that front. I've listened to a game or two where the color man has compared him to Leveon Bell. Chuba's catch and run today was indicative of the extra gear that he has that Dowdle does not.

I have reluctantly come to the realization that Bryce isn't going to get dumped like I had hoped, but he's way too inconsistent in my opinion. I don't get the point of mentioning what we spent on him; we're simply way past getting what we paid for in terms of someone who can consistently be a franchise QB, now it's all about determining if he can be a quality game manager who doesn't lose you the game with his play and has the occasional great game. He hasn't proven that he can be that in my mind, and my expectations are relatively low for him at this point. All that being said, I don't have a problem seeing Bryce competing next season (provided he doesn't have three stinking games to end the season). I would like to bring in a legit vet, and consider drafting someone like Drew Allar with a day three pick (and considering what goes on with the kid between now and the draft, maybe a late day two pick, but that's a lifetime away right now). I'll put it this way: I think drafting Drew Allar with a day 3 pick would

Where is Dowdle realistically going to where he'd be the feature back?

So you (and others) don't think that a healthy Chuba, given the same opportunities (if Dowdle was hurt) to hog up all the production would've done the same thing? Let's not forget that Chuba Hubbard ran for more yards than Dowdle with a slightly better YPC average with an O-line that was ranked a little lower than the Cowboys in 2024.

Chuba is a better back. Chuba shows just as much patience---you can't argue that one of Chuba's strengths is patience before choosing his hole and exploding through it. Dowdle is patient, but lots of times he's too patient (hippity hop with his feet) and hits the hole a little too late which minimizes his yardage on those plays. He's a good change-of-pace back, but he's not a legit starter. He's not built for that.
