but you also don't expect your QB1 that you gave up the farm for being on a team that has the most dysfunctional coaching staff and a HC that gets fired 11 games into their first season because no one on the coaching staff could agree on anything pertaining to the offense or the QB. and for ANY QB taken at any point in the draft, in his first year or two you want to have a system that makes it easier for the QB to acclimate where the OL is stout and the run game is strong. you need to give your QB1 early on a chance to grow without being forced into some high powered passing offense because you NEVER know for sure just what all needs to be worked out until you see them in action and you discover what can be done and what needs helped in your pro offense. i think people just have some unrealistic expectations and standards for a rookie taken in the first round, especially first overall.

i think reich wanted carr. reich is an old dog (not "dawg") who just wasn't interested in learning any new tricks or teaching any. i agree with just about everything else. there was too much bad poo going on around the whole situation to properly evaluate and develop any rookie QB. and yes, a #1 overall pick or any rookie QB will have to have things worked on and thinking they shouldn't is just not an opinion based on reality. and thinking we saw enough last year from BY to think he's garbage is just as narrow minded, but whatever... this year we will see what he can do and where he can or can't grow. last year was a throw away year except in giving Canales tape to see what they can work on.

They are typically mindless fans. People with homer glasses on will think every player on the roster is awesome, every acquisition was genius, and every loss of a player was the best move because they weren't that great anyways. Steeler fans are the cowboy fans of the north. I wouldn't exactly consider them and their opinions of any former or current player as objective at all.

Y'all are right.... Lol

If the guy gets open and catches the ball, why would that not be something to get excited about?

You should try. Life will be better once you accept the things you cannot change and hope that it will be better than you think.

We take what we can get.

Or a vet willing to get a pay check.

It depends on what you want for that roster spot. We get an extra one for emergency QB.

That's who I'm thinking as well. Canales wants a brain trust who could step in if needed. Focus isn't really on being a backup as much as someone to offer .02 in the classroom and sidelines. I would like a developmental guy as well. Just makes sense to do that, but I see where Canales is going.

Lol just a little defensive here.

Better use of energy than expecting things to go south

Or not.

Meh... he'll be fine

It's a lot of letters

haha wrap it up.

still not sure about that whole corbett to center thing. we have to draft a guy.

yeah i almost feel bad for him and his wife because they worked so hard to become a part of the community down here. oh well...moving on.

sometimes a good thing is just a good thing. it's a good thing that happened. let it be just a good thing that happened. you know, until/unless it turns out to not be one. but just focus on the idea that this might just be a good thing for us and be glad it did. it's ok to enjoy things like this from time to time.

i like it too. much needed.

lol you'll be ok.

i mean he could be. i don't know. i do think that the injury thing is overblown, though. that's not a concern i have. doesn't seem like anything he was dealing with would be long term issues.
