LABILLBACKER

All 4 of his dropped td passes were not lasers thrown to him. In fact 2 were touch passes. He drops passes like that because of a lack of focus. This isn't something a jugs machine or ping pong balls are going to fix.

Yes he had 4-5 monster all purpose games this year spearheaded by the Dallas game. Yet in 4 playoff games he somewhat disappears like Diggs. In the regular season he's Tarzan and plays like Jane in post season. That's not going to ever get us over the KC/ Cincy hurdle.

He's somewhat proven to be a bonified RB1. But the drops and fumbles are undeniable. Can someone work with him on technique and focus? Who knows?? He needs to have a good complementary power RB as a change of pace. I love what Ty brings but we need someone 10x more reliable than Harris/ Murray. Not trading for CMC while I watch James drop 4 td passes this season absolutely tore me up. He has the capacity to improve. The question is does he have the mental toughness and desire to do it? These are all questions that will likely be answered this fall.

Cook is going to drop passes his whole career and all the jugs work isn't going to help much. I just see more focus in CMC than I do in James Cook.

I do love Thomas, Franklin & Sweat. But the road to get those 3 might cost even more.

If he was 30 and coming off his 2nd acl I'd say maybe but at 35 he's absolutely done. He'll be kept by McDermott. He'll have 4-5 sacks and look like Epenesa. And after year 3 we'll regret every penny we spent on him. Burn that down Von....

It's not sad and trust me you're not alone. That contract is a collasal bust. The sooner we move on from this failed experiment the better.

Hochuli agrees 😁

The biggest flaw in mvp voting is it doesn't factor playoffs. It's basically a regular season award given to the qb with the least amount of interceptions. I think after this season the Lamar love- fest will wane because of his playoff struggles. Josh will probably be runner up a 3rd time.

I agree, they will end up regretting it. If they think Von somehow bounces back this fall they're dreaming. Release him and wear it. Spend the 6.7 toward DQ and draft DE.

It was definitely an upper body injury. Seeing him try to get up during the Steeler game you could see it. Ribs?...abdominal?

He gets rewarded by sheer virtue that he never gets punished. This is his 3rd offense as you mentioned and I doubt it will be his last. Yes it is ridiculous. I've lost 2 family members to drunk drivers. And because his son is famous he'll likely get another slap on the wrist so he can go out and do it again. At least Andy's kid is doing time. The entitlement of this family is the reward.

Well Tre's deal better be reworked all the way down to align with his lack of production. Players don't bounce back from consecutive ACL- Achilles injuries.

Player X is definitely the option to choose. Now the question is should it be DQ (my choice) or Floyd? It may require more than that 7M to entice one of them. I just don't see Von ever returning to his form of early 2022.

He is petulant but one of his more impressive attributes is tuning out the dysfunctional members of his family. And not letting it affect his focus. I think his true family is Travis and Andy.

If Mitchell runs a 4.45 or better at the combine, he's gotta be the target at 28. Absolutely no way I'm trading up in the 1st round like with Watkins. There's so many good wrs we can turn around and get another in the 3rd or 4th round.

I've always been under the belief there will be 2 distinct windows. I honestly think window #1 just ended with our 3rd KC elimination. Window #2 will begin this offseason as we start saying goodbye to key veterans like Hyde, Poyer, Tre and eventually Von & Diggs. Players like Cook, Kincaid, Milano/Bernard and Shakir will fortify this team as we start selecting young wrs, safeties etc. I'm excited our coordinators are young but still terrified as to what issues McD will stumble into during the playoffs. ...and I guarantee you Harbaugh will build a better team around Herbert.

Hyde & Tre are likely gone this spring. Von, Diggs, Knox and Poyer will probably only be around one more year then we wave goodbye. We absolutely must emphasize offense (wrs) this April. We've neglected Josh long enough. The core is solid with Josh, Cook and Kincaid/Shakir. But reliable supplemental wrs better than Gabe and an aging Diggs are necessary. The youth movement will start this year. As will Josh's 2nd window.

Surprised Andy doesn't instantly hire him as a coach. What a dysfunctional family. Yet they always get rewarded. A little girl almost died thanks to one of Andy's alcoholic sons. Yet people say so what? Wow

Yup sign Ty as your backup and find a more reliable cheap power back better than Harris or Murray. Can't afford Henry anyway so no point wasting discussion on him.

Unfortunately Josh's deep throws still lack trajectory. They're still too flat. That canon of an arm has no height allowing open wrs to run under.

I'd like to see it occasionally but the biggest problem with our D is not the 3....it's the front 4. As usual the 2nd half and playoffs saw a drop off in qb pressure.

So exhausted watching his coaches and teammates let him down every year.

That's what's called corporate panic.

I love you Josh but your not a 9. I've seen you putt.
