The size of the cliff we’d have to fall off is much larger given the schedule. So I think we end up a playoff team but not cause it’s a radically better group of guys.

If you ignored the logo on the helmet and looked at that offseason without much context or investment.... it was objectively insane. Any single move was generally fine but from the day Rex was fired through to the KB trade was crazy

I think you are largely right. Either own it, or assign responsibility but ambiguous negative comments aren’t my favorite

why? He gave up a 3 for a bad one.

min a matter of minutes you went from maybe not winning another game to 4 slam dunks.

Holy hell...

they aren’t an elite team. they are a functional team with a relatively manageable schedule that should put them in a position to make some noise. Nothing wrong with that but boy do I wish we would’ve added another piece or two this year.

are you the same Paulo from before? if so, my suspicions even higher now

I think he’s a promising young QBs at a crossroads with some red flags both of them. allen is about to have one of the best shots of his career to win the big one. Goff will need to prove he can be that guy even when the deck isn’t stacked incredibly in his favor. Goff passed his first test, Allen’s taking his first test. that’s such a small sample that it’s hard to point to meaningfully well, McVay similarMy has to overcome declining talent once you pay the QB market value. Paired with a big hit in Gurley. Both guys will have their chops tested with more film on them and less talent around to hide their weaknesses. The first few years after paying a qb will be highly interesting stories in today’s nfl

these seems like the start to a possible horror movie.

I’m almost universally the opposite. Which is funny coming from a guy that catches essentially all and spends time here too... buuuuut - the games always there tomorrow. Be present at the kids birthday, weddings, vacations etc... if your family are die hard and you are super curious about Nfl fans overseas, no shame in grabbing a beer at the pub and checking out the scene but don’t be the dude that’s back in a hotel room watching a choppy stream by yourself when you can catch a reply when you get home

and yet, probably the smart play

I’m not sure I believe automatic double team or he will walk his guy backwards. It’s a bold claim to throw out there.

I feel like a lot of posters pointed at cap hell last year. it’s not the end of the world but feels like he was a mistake and fair to point that out. We traded for KB too and he wasn’t a great one despite the regime knowing him well. I think it’s not a particularly hot take to say keeping dareus til this offseason and spending on a better WR and possibly even getting an upgrade on OL would have been nice for a team drafting a qb.

Hes been a really interesting one to follow fan reaction on... it feels like there’s a big segment that likes to feel like they get it by pointing out he shouldn’t have a huge stat line. But I think most of them haven’t really watched him and are mostly chirping talking points not analysis.

to their credit they’ve beat everyone for 15 years take these seasons when you can get them and if you can leapfrog the pats the Super Bowl ends up just 2 home playoff games away, right?

the crazy part... this is still his RFA season right? He’s still never been a free agent? And may be cut and still not be one til March?

I agree something seems off, and I’d love to shoot higher (been banging that drum all year).... but assuming nothing crazy comes out I’d rather see him than senorise perry on our offensive depth chart, in the simplest terms. He isn’t my absolute top choice but I think we are better with that move than no move at all, unless dirt comes out.

recovering from a bum knee might help that. he also still has a higher YPC in this down year than anyone on our roster does.

he doesn’t have to be all pro but if you can put him outside, and take some pressure off brown/beasley the whole unit should be better at little to no expense

to tell the whole story they were his best season since the last time he played a season though. and 40 in 11 translates to just shy of 60, for just shy of 1100 yards while leading the league in ypc if you extrapolate to a full season. And ignore that he joined the team mid season (to address all the concerns about chemistry joining a team mid season)

If our teams that delicate it wasn’t working in the first place Lucky we don’t need him to catch the ball 50 times! Last year he was 18 yards a catch and put up 40 catches in 11 games joining a team mid season. that’s actually impressive

you can go get a guy AND contend for years to come. is there a reason you think otherwise?

Rarely can you say that about anyone outside a top qb or maybe a game changing pass rusher. And they are priced accordingly. for a day 2 pick, IF you get him healthy... I’d be hard pressed to come up with a more immediately impactful position/player that might be available. Health being the risk of course.

a late 4 swapping with early 5 is minimal. It’s essentially trading him for one of the last few picks on day 2 and sliding back a couple spots to open day 3.
