You are missing the point in your haste to argue with everyone.  I am not arguing whether our draft picks or released guys were great or sucked. My post pointed out you took your own opinion and claimed Fitterer said the same thing and he didn't. Maybe it is me but in this age where everyone makes stuff up and calls it the truth, I guess I am oversensitive to it when I see it.

 

It seems to me that lately if you are going to be negative, you get a free pass on whatever you say. But if you say something positive, you need to cite sources and take a polygraph. lol

 

When you absolutely have to be right. Using your opinion as fact is a Huddle staple.

Do you have any proof to back that up?  😇

You complain about people and this message board in 90% of your posts but yet here you are on at least your 3rd alias still typing word vomit.  Feel free to hit the other board or simply start your on

Just wondering how long it took Wilks to get the team around to being competitive?

 

Wilks did a good job of adapting his philosophy to the players he had available. He wasn't able to wait till he got the guys he needed for his system. I honestly dont like to hear that, Reich has experience and some success as a head coach. He should be capable of doing the same.

With this coaching staff and Bryce in place, how many drafts should it take to realistically consider ourselves in contention for the Superbowl?

This year I just want to see improvement, for us to look like we have a plan, and for the love of God 2nd half adjustments.

That’s about where I’m at… I would like to see +5 in the win column at least

I don't get the complaining about negativity angle. Social media in all forms is a sea of negativity. Unplug and ditch your smartphone if you don't like it.

Dude is nuts. He complains every post and poos all the time. It’s amazing how negative he is while trying to act like the beacon of positivity. Oh well, some people just don’t have sense. If it bothers you that much and you post about it all the time, it is time to walk away.

I'm hoping that's the case, too. By all rights, we should be better positioned than we were last season, especially at the mid-way point where Wilks took over.

Wilks got handed a crap team and really made them competitive, something we hadn't been in four or more years.

Reich got handed that team, got to prune it a bit, got the very first pick in the NFL draft and had an offseason with reasonable cap space to build what he could from what he needed. He also got to assemble what had to be a stellar cast of coordinators and assistant coaches, something Wilks had instead to make do with who was left.

I hope, and I really feel, that Reich can make the most of this. We've got a really young but ready team and the NFCSouth has never seen so much turnover and turmoil.

However, if the team nosedives, I think it might be fair to take a moment and wonder if we had our man on the roster before and made a terrible mistake.

Their roster wasn’t horrible.  Their QB play was.  

we aren’t dramatically improved on O.  Our starting RB was CMC and out starting WR was DJ Moore in that first win.  The second game was basically the Nebraska game that was on TV last night and should never be spoke of. 

And going to a rookie QB over bad vets isn’t really improvement.  It’s its own thing.  Young is going to struggle early because he is a rookie learning.  Not because he is bad. 

Nope. I'm not letting our supposed "savant" of a draft pick off the hook.  He's diagnosing plays like "15 year vet" and "leading offensive meetings"... he'd better deliver.

      [The Athletic] Dane Brugler's 2025 7-round Mock Draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I have been on the Bech bandwagon since well before the SR Bowl.  Hoping that he would stay a hidden gem and we'd be smart enough to grab him late.  I just don't think Morgan cares as much about WR as we do

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.
