  1. That's pretty much the reaction I had. Someone posted one or two in the mod forum and I all I could do was laugh because I had no clue what he was trying to say. None of us did. I listened to a couple of them to see if it made any more sense but really it's just 3 minutes of intro music (a Beatles song) with him throwing our names in there, followed by 3-4 minutes of incoherent rambling, and then 3 minutes playing the same song he played in the intro as an outro. No joke.
  2. Lol it's going to be the same poo with guys like ^^^^ as it was those with Cam who never show up to post anything unless there's the potential for something negative to say about our new QB.
  3. Lol you and your panicking. It was two fuggin throws. Two. And how many MONTHS is there before preseason? Nevermind....you gonna keep finding poo to be "concerned" about. You and @CPF4LIFE.
  4. Is that all it was? Lol Anti-bryce crowd is really looking for any reason to be "concerned".
  5. owners love him because they've made more money because of him. the biggest reason they love him, though, is because he's willing to be the villain so they don't have to. he's the evil face of the ownership. that's why they pay him nearly $70mil/year. he takes the boos for them.
  6. Why would they? I assume they were just anxious to get this portion of the meeting over with as quickly as possible.
  7. Go ahead and shake your head. I'm just saying you shouldn't bank on injuries. Expecting us to not do well because we'll get hurt? This is where I shake my head and facepalm.
  8. Thread took a weird turn. I cleaned it up. Looking forward to seeing the new face of the franchise showing up everywhere and pissing off fans from rival teams.
  9. We were hoping he'd stay inside the rails until at least the draft but the guy was riding too close and then a couple days before the draft he jumped it and it was just too far to let him come back. Of course he started a YouTube channel where he calls a few of us out in the intro that lasts about as half as long as his ramblings. Lots of "ummm....yeah....you know" in between moments where he's trying to be sly saying something but you can never really figure out what he's getting at.
  10. It's a shame that we're the only ones likely to be affected by injuries.
  11. The reality is, we are in a soft division and we have a soft schedule. Tbh, I think that ATL and the saints have improved over the off-season, but none of them have had the upgrades that we have. I think coaching alone accounts for at least 2 more wins than last season. Having an OL that is now set and entrenched and has significant time together building chemistry is a huge upgrade over last year. And then there's Young...whom i believe will be, sooner rather than later, the best QB in the division and easily the top half of the NFC quickly. If we were in any other division, had a tougher schedule, or were in the AFC, then I'd be buying your arguments a bit easier. But that's not our reality. Our reality is we have the best one of the best coaching staffs in the NFC, a still very weak division, and an easy schedule full of weak or new QBs and bad teams. So yeah ... If we can't capitalize on all of this in '23 and can't get a winning record, we're looking at a long road ahead. I just don't see that happening.
  12. it's kind of like watching my 8 year old daughter's softball team warm up before a game.
  13. it's a good thing they've got some big targets. they're going to need them.
  14. Teams that are successful with their new coach see dramatic results almost immediately. If you don't see it early, you probably won't.
  15. No team in our division or even on our schedule scares me at all. We can run over any of them.
  16. We're heading to the playoffs... this year. We're winning the division...this year.
  17. 7 wins is not an improvement over last year. If we only get 7 wins this year, that would be more than a disappointment. That would be a sign that we hired the wrong guy and we probably should have stayed with Wilks because even he would have done better than that last year had he started the season earlier. Wilks, given a whole season, given this season, would have won between 7-9 games. Reich and this staff..this team was put together because the expectation is at the very least 9. The expectation is playoffs and winning the division THIS year. And it's very reasonable and reachable.
  18. true. preseason cam was not a good indicator of regular season cam. i had forgotten that.
  19. kickoff returns were getting rarer anyways. kickers were kicking a lot of touchbacks. more than half the league is kicking a touchback more than 60% of the time and that number had been growing ever since they moved the line from the 30 to the 35 back in 2011 or whenever it was.
  20. i think we'll see as quickly with Young as we did with Cam...as in weeks 1 and 2 i think we'll know we've got something special going on here. tbh, i'm not as excited about Young as i was with Cam (although there is a lot of excitement and that excitement is building for me), but i am far more excited about Young + Reich & co. than i was with Cam + Rivera & co.
  21. one beneficial thing that could happen from a percentage of snaps in offseason practices going to someone other than Young, and this is probably uniquely true for Young, is that he will be able to see what the offense is doing from another perspective which will help him notice things that work well or, more importantly, work better when he is back on the field. granted, those instances need to be limited, but they will still be beneficial. he needs, though to be able to work with this OL and these receivers, TEs and RBs to get to a point of complete trust in each other. no doubt this will be more experienced during game situations, but the more trust in each other they have heading into week 1, the more likely it is for us to have success right out of the gate. one thing to consider, though, in letting someone else take reps is to help ensure that his arm doesn't get worn out in a potentially much longer NFL season than he had in college. i think this is probably the case for all rookie QBs, though. it's going to take an adjustment to get used to a more rigorous and lengthy football season. you need to make sure he's still got gas when/if you get to the playoffs.
  22. the advantage that reich will have over fox and rivera and especially rhule is that he's not coming in with a lot to figure out in the new role. he has the benefit of experience...and not just any experience. he made mistakes in indy. i think he did alright there, but i know he realizes there's some things that he knows looking back that he could have and wished he could have done better. there are some things that he didn't know walking into that new job in indy that i think, looking back, he wished he knew when he got the job. now he has the experience and wisdom that comes from hindsight and he gets to apply that to a new situation for him. plus, we aggre$$ively went after assistant coaches and support staff to ensure that we had the brightest and best available minds there putting this team and scheme together. and then they, this group of the best and brightest available, put their heads together and picked out the best available QB in this draft and the FO sold out to get that young talent. we've never had a moment in this franchises history where we were this dedicated to success and dammit, i'm excited.
  23. if it's going to work, you'll see it year one. you have the right coach...you'll see results quickly. if it takes 2 or more years, you probably don't have the right coach. complete overhauls don't take 2-3 years to succeed anymore. you see the fruits year one and year 2-3 you likely see a solid playoff run. you have the right QB (even a rookie one) and you see bigger success earlier.
