Idc if we lose every game as long as they make an effort to win , right now I don’t see any effort . I see nothing different from our past off seasons and why should we be positive for a different outcome next season?  It’s going to come down to the draft will he draft a bunch of stars ? I guess that’s what it comes down to

I've tried to stay positive but for being the wealthiest owner by a country mile, we feel a bit like amateur hour with our college coaches and rather meh GM hire along with our overly leaky front office and QB desperation.

It's just a different game. With a hard cap and hard set draft order, having the deepest pockets isn't a huge factor in winning in the NFL and that's what makes the NFL so great. It's not like MLB or NBA where only a small handful of teams are going to compete year in and year out.

My concern is that I see a plan in place to finish somewhere in the 5-11 to 7-9 range. That's purgatory.

He may be a billionaire but he has no idea what he is doing in the NFL on the football side.

This....wash, rinse, repeat.

Hurney ain't around any longer to point the finger at.  He helped get us here, but now it's on the new regime.

This has felt like quite the Hurney off-season. Overpaying some mediocre players expecting them to be better than they've proven. Taking risks on guys with significant injury histories. Planning to outsmart the world then watching everyone outmaneuver you while laughing.

This all feels very familiar.

    • Rumors I've read, and just watching Young and the  play calling, seems to indicate that Canales does not believe in Young …at all ..maybe he was  told by  owner, gm, etc that the franchise is moving  on …Or maybe Canales sees the limited plays calls with young under  center i mean, it is all conjecture  …but let’s  face it…126 yards…what more is there to say…yes there were drops but all qbs have those  He needs to do really really well against KC and  even  if he does…might not be enough  i suspect they will either trade him before draft or will draft  a qb and have an open competition   If he stays, it might be as a backup
    • I would argue this has literally always been the case for almost the entire existence of the NFL. There are substantially more busts than hits, across all rounds. I would say also that there doesn't appear to be much evidence for college quarterbacks being less prepared than before. Certainly in some cases they are vastly underprepared but that has always been the case.  I would definitely make the argument that in every single major sport that athletes are VASTLY more experienced than 20, 30 and more years ago. A lot of that is due to earlier specialization in sport(versus just playing all the sports from K-12), DRAMATICALLY more reps and practice(travel ball, summer leagues, etc) and far greater access to specialized training(most high end players/prospects have specific trainers even before college). All of these things were not readily available decades ago. So the theoretical "10,000 reps" are being hit far, far sooner for most younger athletes. As for the argument for "gimmick offenses" being a problem. I mean....think about how prevalent things like the triple option were in the 70's, 80's and even 90's. Or just offenses in general that were absolutely extinct at the NFL level.  I think there are some general issues with certain positions and the development cycles in college but overall, the development in college has actually improved tremendously. The thing is, it's never going to improve enough to where you are just getting insanely high hit rates on prospects or large percentages of draft picks immediately playing like 8 year veterans. It will never really work like that.
    • Yeah sure some teams are not gonna want to have to recruit a QB like its college BUT you got add in desperation. One team WILL fall in love and go after him. A HC or GM on the hot seat will look past deion and draft him.
