Really not sure smitty would even do much with young as qb....well except get very angry at him.

Peak Smitty could get his with a punter at QB.  Remember when they put like 7 guys on him in Seattle and he got so pissed he took a kick back for a TD?

500 yards, 2 TDs is what a prime 89 would do…

we saw it in 2010

I do wasn’t it a punt? Couldn’t put 3 guys on him at the LOS on a return. Blood and guts.  

Weren’t we down to Goings and then they put him out right away?  What an unlevel playing field, after we had such a good team that year.

Chase didn’t struggle in camp. He had the dropsies, i.e. getting open but not catching it. They are two completely different problems. Chase had 1455 yards and 13 TDs. There was no learning curve issue with him.

I get that Legette needs some time to develop but throwing out comparisons that aren’t remotely close doesn’t mean anything.

Not catching the ball is a struggle lol

Moral of the story is you have to give these kids time.

IF an old and slow Thielen can get 1k yards with a rookie Young at QB Smitty would have no issues at all getting his numbers. The comparisons to Clausen are pretty asinine even if you don't like Young. Young hasn't lit the world on fire but from someone who watched every single game of Jimmy (I live 40 mins from SB Indiana where his alma matter Notre Dame is located everyone of my friends was/is a ND fan so I was really hoping we hit the jackpot) he was on a completely different level of bad compared to where Young is/was currently.

I hope Legette works out. He seems like a legit good dude and he has the best accent in the NFL. But I wasn't onboard with the pick for a reason. You just don't take older "upside" guys high in the draft. Older prospects need to be polished and upside guys need to be young. When you're older and still raw from an actual skill standpoint that's a BIG red flag. I thought he was the type of guy who probably shouldn't go earlier than the 3rd.

I honestly think we probably drafted a faster version of Laviska Shenault.

    • Yeah my crazy theory is Canales, Morgan, and Tillis watched the film and read the locker room.  They saw a team giving up on a player and frustrated with his production.  Seems like a pretty easy decision from there...
    • We'll probably still lose, but I believe we'll be more competitive. I don't think signing another vet QB is wise considering we already have one. I think we should trade for a young QB sitting on the bench. I'm bias, but I would like for us to consider Rattler. Carr is doing very well with the Saints so he may be their starter for a while, so they may be more willing to trade Rattler. I'm not too impressed with the QB draft class for next year. I would rather trade back our 1st round pick for more picks and go BPA. Continue with the rebuilding process, and if Rattler or whoever doesn't cut it, then hopefully Manning will be the guy in 2026. And Tepper has to back off with any decision making. 
    • I said in another thread, I can’t find a glaring liability on offense. If Dalton can drop some 25+ yard dimes, we have some dudes that can make hay. Picks be damned. I’ll take a 2 or 3 pick day for 35 points on the board. We just need something. A spark. Anything.  We won’t be good, but it has potential to be fun to watch, and the tone in the stadium… hope.
