I hate how they try to downplay the possibility of him having another great year based off of the numbers of the defenses we face this year. Basing teams on past years is ridiculous. Every year is different. Given we face tougher teams this year, I still think both Williams and Stewart will have better years then they did last year. Cant wait for the season to start!

I hear ya, and you're right, every year teams change. But with a few teams we face (definitely not all), they are fairly consistent year in and year out...

Then again, some are just over-hyped year in and year out. ;)

I agree that other teams overall rushing defense average yards surrendered doesn't necessarily portent good or bad things for us. Some teams like the Giants has pretty good numbers when we played them giving up 95 yards per game (ranked 9th) but we got 158. We all know how well we did against Tampa the second game and they were ranked as a very good rushing defense until we played them in that game.

Teams will try to take away our running or passing. It is up to the offense to establish both sides of the ball taking what they give us.

      A new coach coming in after what I think was one of the biggest clusters of a team last year and giving your first overall QB a chance isn't to crazy.  You really don't know until you get on the field and Canales saw what we all saw.  Bryce Young was not good enough to start.  But Canales, the staff and numerous other coaches who called about trading for BY thought he might be salvageable.   I agree with you that I don't think it smart or probable that BW would put up 300 yards and 3td.  That is why Canales isn't asking or expecting him to do that.  Yet. And even that "Yet" is just a possibility but it's too freaking hard to find a QB in the NFL and there were to many other factors last year to say BW is a total bust and move on.  Especially when moving on right now means a big trade, some QB off a practice squad or running with some UDFA. The worst thing would be stuck in 6-8 wins a season but that would be a hell of a lot better than the last few year but I get and agree with your point.  My point is simply that the possibility that BW turns it around and becomes a good QB is much more likely than Dalton or any other QB we could get giving us a better chance to win games and improve long term. The only thing I've continued to preach is he's the best option currently and going forward but that doesn't mean we don't bring in other players to improve and get better.  History has shown that this place is ready to cut bait way to early on players with little regard to the alternative, or other factors that play a role in a players success. I'd love to enjoy a win without being told repeatedly over and over by the same people why we are still a failure.  The whole yeah we won but... I'm not arguing and I don't think anyone else actually thinks that your QB throwing for 126 yards is a recipe for winning but I think most people would like to feel good about a win instead of focusing on the host of things we need to continue to improve upon to be a yearly contender.  Trust me, no one is going to forget we still have a long way to go.

      How many drops today.

      Drops. Penalties on TD throws. Fumbles.  we did a lot to make Bryce’s day look pretty ordinary. He still looked light years better than the first 2 weeks.  all we could hope for is progress and we’re getting it.

      Scott Fowler on Bryce Young

      I like allar and the qb from LSU as second round options. I'm coming more on board with taking the best defensive player available in the first. Hopefully that's a DE.
