Bond seems to have potential, but some of you seem a little too stoked over a player who could go either way.  

 

G-man has done an overall adequate job so far at acquiring talent, but let's not go overboard. What he does through the following next two drafts will give us a more complete picture by which to judge his success.

Folks are "Stoked" over Bond for two very important reasons. One, things are going our way right now. The breaks, bounces, and WTF? moments are all, or mostly, going our way. So why not for Bond as well. If we can get Chandler to play decent, what should we be able to do with a kid who already has the basics?

Two, he gots that cool last name.

To be honest, I don't see Gman needing that long. He has proven to know talent, and definitely knows value. He has already filled in the bottom of the roster well, cuz depth is as good as its ever been round here. And he improved that Cap mess.

So far, he has proven to be capable of getting us where we want to go. I see no reason to think he will suddenly revert to a hurndog mentality.

How he addresses the O-line is huge in my book. As is finding a Stud at WR, and CB. Fill those three holes this off-season, and we are scary good. Throw in a TE that can actually play and produce, we are true Super Bowl Contenders.

Gonna be nuts up in here this off-season. Gettlemen will have had the whole year to evaluate, he should sit down, write out his plan, and let's get this party started.

Find us our late 1st round Stud WR. Grab that Stud CB in the 2nd. Bring in a LT for the future, and to move Gross to RT. A TE that can produce would be icing on the pie.

Can he do that in one off-season? Why the fug Not? After all, things are going our way, why not take advantage of that fact.

Of course, I reserve the right to qualify this statement at any time if Gman looks to be faltering.

      Crazy stat

      By Luuuuuuuuuuke59 · Posted

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By 45catfan · Posted

      This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
