Been waiting since 03 for this and thought I would love the attention, and all of our players deserve it... But don't sit here and talk about Thomas Davis like its his first year in the league. Don't try and sell the world on Stewart when besides injuries he's always been a bruising back. Don't try and tell me the play of our oline was a complete shocker (It was the main cog in us making the playoffs last year). Don't tell me Cam is immature with his 'antics' when in fact he's grown as a leader in all aspects. Don't now try and backtrack (8-8 or 6-10 predictions all preseason when KB went down) and say our WR's are all playmakers now. Philly Brown was solid last year, Ted Ginn was solid for us two years ago, and Cotch has been solid since he got here. Am I being a negative human being or do I just really dislike Heath Evans?

You're talking to the bandwagoneers and not the true fans, right?

We all had our trepidations when the season started especially when KB went down. But we've followed this team closely and we all know what they are about. We know the strengths and weaknesses. So I'll give a pass to the media for finally jumping on board.  They are finally realizing what we've known for a long time.

We're in the Super Bowl for the first time in a bit over a decade. We've had some pretty rough years in between appearances. We play in a small market. We're in the NFC South, which is made up of small market teams. With the exception of Cam Newton, we've pretty much made our reputation on no names and retreads.

We haven't been title winners like the Patriots, Packers or Steelers. We don't have overpaid stars all over the roster like Dallas. We also haven't been dumpster fire organizations like Cleveland or Detroit.

So yeah, no one really knows much about us. Big deal. We haven't been attracting that much media attention until recently, for better or for worse. But honestly, why does the media attention matter? Real football fans already have a team allegiance. Media hype just brings on board bandwagoneers and those newly acquainted with the sport. We aren't exactly going to get lifelong Packers fans to give up the green and gold, yanno?

Let's just revel in the moment and not really care about getting the respect of other folks. This is our team's time.

      Bryce Young PFF - Week 16

      The reality is Bryce outplayed a Probowl QB vs a better defense with inferior weapons. IDK what else you can ask for from your #1 overall pick that you gave up the farm for

      Bryce Young PFF - Week 16

      By KSpan · Posted

      Ah yes, the classic and timeless 'Big Time Throws' HOF metric. Gold star for Bryce and the other QBs that make Big Time Throws. That eyeroll aside, my position has always been that Bryce's ceiling is Bridgewater/Smith levels of effectiveness, which is not good enough to have a consistent shot at winning Super Bowls in today's NFL. My issue and concern with Bryce remains as it has always been - a lack of downfield dynamics. My position has also been that this is what really hampered the Saints with Brees at QB for the last nearly decade, the inability to truly attack downfield vs the top competition when the opportunities presented themselves. That is likely complicated somewhat by the receivers on the roster and time will continue to sort that out if the roster is effectively managed. After watching the second half yesterday there were some very good throws, chiefly the throw over the middle while taking the shot that absolutely should have been roughing and then the superbly-placed TD to Moore, but still only 10 points produced and an inability to really close it out. That complete whiff on the third down pass was an untimely mistake but the kind that happens to all QBs and I don't think that's really outside of Bryce's current range of possibilities on any given throw anyway. I chuckled at the irony given all of the 'clutch' talk recently, but that's not really here or there when assessing the throw itself. Yes, 30 points should be enough to win an NFL game, but the best teams have to be able to put up points and sustain drives when needed even if carrying an unreasonable part of the load. Getting 'close' with teams like the Chiefs and Eagles is to me more a signal of the limitations I mentioned earlier (Saints-esque inability to overcome the best competition) rather than an overly positive sign, and only time will tell if he and the team can move past that. Hopefully these final games show some increased dynamics and a continued growth toward true downfield effectiveness.
