How many of u feel that if some how someway if Matt Moore has a horrible preseason and Jimmy Clausen won the starting job, would any u guys feel like the season was over....

Personally speaking i think we in the same boat either way with both going into the season. Matt did awesome things at the end of the year, the biggest thing i saw was the fact the coaches called a better game plan for him. They established the run and it worked out. With that said.... Jimmy is a rookie i get that.... but he knows the offense inside and out, ran it well all through out his ND career and he did put of numbers... big numbers... with a weak defense... and the plus side to starting Jimmy is teams havent had all offseason to prepare for him.

Just a thought.

I am counting us out regardless. This is not a playoff team. I am thinking 6-10 at best, sadly.

I agree, you can't just expect a so many rookies and extremely young players to step up and play like vets, some will but most wont and simply can't because they are much too young. They haven't made their mistakes yet. If it were this easy and cheap every team would be doing it. This is different than just a QB change.

I am hoping for a 8-8 record this year and hope a few players really make an impact in their positions so we can get a head start in the building process. To realistically try and see something more than that is surprising but not impossible.

Fortunately the QB position will not be the anchor that drags this year's team down.

When you have this type of young talent behind center, a great running game and a huge offensive line you will always have a chance because risks are going to be taken and competition or the potential for competition will eventually prove who has the goods.

This is going to be a very fun season to watch. Keep your expectations low as fun does not directly translate into wins unfortunately. However, we still do not know where the wins will come from.

I would rather watch a team that busts its ass to grind out 6 wins than a team that slouches on its laurels and repeatedly eeks out 8 any day.

We got a great running game and a better QB throwing to Steve Smith this year. We got a good pass defense and hopefully a couple people step up on the D line. We should have an awesome O line also. I see no reason we can't win 9 games and possibly even make the playoffs this year. Two great RBs behind a great line, one great WR, a QB who is hopefully decent and a defense led by Jon Beason that just needs to make a few plays. We drafted the young guys for a reason over the years, now it's their time to stand out.

      And its two fold from there, we knew we were going to stink next year, we knew he wasnt going to play right away and we knew the 2025 rb class was absolutely fuging loaded.  So none of it made a lick of sense

      Here for the lively debate but don’t devolve into “you don’t know the game” stuff. ..with that PSA over, I lean more to the it was a mistake camp myself.  It wasn’t a good move. Many people reference Frazier but it is was a few guys. I thought Sainristil would have been perfect for us. Although I will say, I don’t mind taking RBs high depending on the talent. It was him being injured and his talent relative to the other RBs in his tier that makes me less than thrilled about it.

      If you're insinuating Bryce Young is the only player people here have been critical of we don't even need to discuss any further because folks who have actually seen the threads knows that's factually incorrect. That's the issue and where the disconnect begins. You perceive an honest assessment and basic straightforward acknowledgment that while we can like the player on a personal level ultimately the pick was a mistake given what we know now and the other prospects that were available. None of that is the personal slight you perceive it to be. Honest discussion is not doom and gloom. If someone wants to reject the reality is front of them that is certainly their prerogative. What I'm trying to tell you is you are never going to find the dialogue you seek as long as this is your basis for the framework of discussion about our team. I'm not asking you to leave. I do believe you bring legitimate value here. I'm simply offering you an alternative if you insist on rolling out this same approach when the season rolls out. Because although optimism is high right now sooner or later we might hit a bump in the road. And conversations will likely get the opposite of glowing positivity. But that's alright. That's the rollercoaster of sports fandom. We'll survive.
