Bucs had the worst run game in the league last year. I know that because I remember being happy when we hired Canales but having some real concern about that 

They had the worst run game in the league the year before he got there, too.

They eventually got better, but he had them climbing out of a hole that were pretty deep in already.

I think this will basically come down to Cousins. He has far less of an ideal situation in Atlanta than Minnesota but it does seem like his main priority is one last cash grab.

Ideally, he signs a mega deal with the Falcons and then promptly starts to show his decline while saddling them with a roster nuking contract.

Where does Cousins and Fields go?  Maybe we find out today.  Cousins isn't the hold up because the team he ditches is drafting a QB.  Fields, on the other hand, could land somewhere either as a starter or backup.  If it's a backup situation, then that could mean one more team looking for a stater in the draft.

Ideally 5 of the 6 get drafted in the first round and we start taking calls at #33 to trade back for that last dude.  Sorry, but there is a big drop off between Nix/Penix and Rattler.

In the words of Dave Gettleman, we had better be shopping at the thrift store.  Don't expect any news of the Panthers signing anyone in the tampering period.  That's how Fitterer got two expensive, but very average, O-linemen (Pat Elflein and Cam Erving).

Very average is being kind if we're talking about starters. They were definitely below average starters. I guess they were probably about average in terms of overall rostered NFL OL.

There were reports awhile back that the Pats would go vet for QB. Brissett is in that good backup/marginal starter category. If they're signing him so the #3 overall pick isn't necessarily forced into action if he's not ready and to be a vet mentor that makes a lot of sense. If they're signing him as the answer so they can go WR at #3 that's laughable.

      They gave him franchise QB money. Sorry but if you don't earn it you can be embarrassed.   He's rich he can take it. Stop feeling sorry for people who can't live up to their contract. This isn't a sport to be soft. Daniels deserves to give back some of that money he stole if you ask me.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      And it was coming off of a bye week. Perhaps he should vacation a bit in Germany in the off season, something certainly seemed to help him there.  No, really... He showed maturation and the possibility that he's turning a corner. That wasn't the NY Giants out there, but the back to back Super Bowl champions with the #3 defense in the league, with them coming off of a prime time loss. And that was a 9-1 team we just played literally down to the last second. Bryce played so well that maybe, maybe he wins over some nay-sayers. It's still early, though, but what a nice breath of fresh air that was. You can win quite a few games if that is your normal performance. It is obvious that we are still on the learning curve, though. But that was one helluva test he just took. Some of these QBs coming out of college just don't have a lot of games under their belts, especially in top end programs. They are perhaps just a year to two years behind center in games that matter before they move up. It can take them some time to hit their stride. We can still be cautious about our future and still celebrate a great game by the kid, though, and we should. He earned the laurels today, or had before they were snatched away at the last second.
