BBFL

How anyone views the team is going to be subjective to personal opinions so for me… I view the team changed after the bye against the Packers where it became a common theme this team just felt to winging it on offense, bend and don’t break on D in the hope points will be scored.

Bolton and Tranquill is a sweet combo for them.

What about converting a big body SS to MLB?…

Absolutely mystifying indeed if that happens. Pending on Ekeler leaving LAC, he’ll likely get drafted by them; huge void at RB without him… but somehow if he makes it anywhere near 27, you would have to believe there’s a good shout he goes to Dallas @ 26 with Zeke out the door and Pollard fresh off the leg break. Quite a few potential good RBs this year who are projected 4th round or later. 😂 sometimes that works out not to be a problem… not the case for Buffalo. Both Clemson boys (Spiller & Watkins) were dominant in college and possible BPA @ the time… just weren’t what we needed.

Coaching is the be all, end all difference. They’re both magical and otherworldly talented but the amount of effortlessly open throws Mahomes has as a result of scheme is absurd in comparison to Josh. The Super Bowl showcased such. The Toney and Moore TD’s were drawn up masterpieces to take and extend the lead over Philly.

Great shout! Statistical vs Contractual value, Jamaal Williams would have been a premium *****. Decent amount of First Downs, YAC and obviously the TDs. I like Murray but looking at everything over the past few years; Yards, YAC, Broken TKL, First Downs… no different to Motor.

It was the field surface. 👀

There isn’t a single guy out there you think has the potential to produce for us?

We all would/do. Question becomes whether you have another season ending injury to one or both of Hyde/Poyer is that drafted talent NFL ready?

There seems to be a decent number available who are around Damar’s talent level. Having a choice would you hope for the best via the draft or sign on through the current list of FA’s?

Point wasn’t whether it mattered today or not. Point was the drafting of All-Pro talent. Which they have done. The statement of “role playing DB or backup” has to be saved for the end of this upcoming season as an evaluation. Still waiting to see what we got with him as he only played 8 games. If he goes back to 2021 form then yes, definitely overpaid. 2020? We’re good! There is a concern in the overall drafting, not so much for all-pro talent but solid and productive contributors within the first 3/4 rounds. Need those guys to turn into ones that can be counted on.

If it isn’t Parnham, who else? Irv Smith???

Drafting could be better. Could also be worse. Tre White & Milano don’t count as All-Pro?

They won’t trade Simmons. He’s got 2 years left on a decent contract; presuming they pick up his option. You never know but one would think they wouldn’t throw Hopkins alongside him for Ed and a 2.

Hopefully there’s another splash in the FA pool. Suemalo and Wagner would be nice! I don’t think Cameron Erving and Isaiah Wynn wouldn’t be bad additions to push Spencer Brown. LB wise? Something tells me Wagner is either going to get a decent from Dallas or return to Seattle. Failing him as an option, I would like to see Myles Jack, Perryman or Anthony Walker Jr. to that unit.

The void might just be a FA DT if he is indeed moved. Michael Brockers or the guy from KC Nnandi(sp?) might do? Guess it’s going to be a case of him playing out the option year and then a decision is made… No fret as there is potential a slew of decent options going to be on the market; Quinnen Williams, Dexter Lawrence, Michael Pierce, Jeffrey Simmons, DJ Reader, Maliek Collins and Fletcher Cox Don’t think they’d want to take the burden of his finances to acquire him whilst sending young talent the other way.

I get that. Hence the reference to his Dallas days and not last year. The likelihood, if any, is a post June cut. Do we wait that long to bring in another rotational player to compete? Tough question. Point I was making is Brown is now the LT. Who knows what you get at their LG or RT play from here on out. Collins at least had success playing guard next to Tyron Smith. Maybe they plug him there again and Brown elevates his play?

Maybe he was just being a Pratt…?

Liked the kid coming out of college but Coach summed it up best, post injury is pretty rough. There’s a reason Pitt isn’t clamoring to sign the guy. Given some of these contracts floating around. Do you want to pay 10m a year?

Does Cinci really just get rid of this guy though? Contract is very reasonable. Just walked in the door last year and played extremely well in Dallas as a Guard. He has maneuverability on the line… Played both tackle and guard above average.

Taylor to the Chiefs is a huge gamble. They paid more than Cinci for Brown and honestly, that’s a lot for a guy who has really exclusively played as a RT. Brown wasn’t the best LT out there but he was solid in Baltimore and KC. Rodgers to the Jets is a coin flip. We can live with last years performance. If he reverts back to the years prior? Problem. Miami concerns me more for these next 2 years. They better do something in that window or these contracts are going to blow up in their face.

Current Andy Dalton wouldn’t have us in that playoff game. 🤷‍♂️

Past players? Toss up between 3: McCargo / Mike Williams / Maybin The experiment of these 3 panning out lasted too long. Especially before the wage scaling was a thing. Currently? It’s really a pricing issue. Matakevich, Siran Neal & Taiwan Jones. There’s a few others that people can list but when they’re making as much/more than some of the underperforming likes of McKenzie, Basham & Epenesa that people have an issue with whilst exclusively playing STs… Yeah.

That few years of LBs had so much potential. The Browns. Bradham. Kiko. Brandon Spikes. Manny Lawson. Keith Rivers. Arthur Moats. Oooof.

Not a huge fan of Jeudy, not a hater either. He’s talented and could help the team. The draft picks also could. Big supporter of fixing this offensive line for Josh and giving both him and the run game an elevated chance of success - Starters and depth (which is obviously the McGovern signing) to see where we are. RT is a question as are both guard spots. You then have Morse due for another concussion. Just a lot of pieces that are up in the air and could have cost controlled fixes. If we still need that piece to take us where we believe Jeudy would, then there’s got to be a team that would move a guy during the season; maybe even him if he isn’t traded and the wheels have come off for Denver again prior to the trade deadline. For Josh and essentially the team… I, personally, feel he’d benefit more from better all around line play than another toy. The old adage of “a QB can make a WR” comes to mind. Josh has and can dominate with just one bonafide star. Protect the franchise.
