I'm sick of this lousy 2nd half run stop failing defense we got and they are awful. Don't know what the exact answer is there but I say put the heat on Barry, he can't put together complete games. And .... I don't know if the problem is Richie B or just the personnel we are working with, but special teams obviously hasn't been fixed either. Disaster!!!

Feel like the box score of the UT/ISU game makes Ewers look better than he was. He wasn't bad by any means, but that's a Bijan Robinson-led offense. It's promising that Ewers has every tool in the book and is able to run the offense as it's intended. That's a breath of fresh air considering what we watch on Sundays. He's played, what, 3.5 games? The fact that he's reserved enough to run the offense and do it well is telling. He's a damn good prospect. Think you're giving him too little credit.

hitnhope Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 What does a haul of picks get us? 2 more Corners that play 15 yards off the ball? A DT that doesnt see the field?. A LB that is athletic, but has no clue how to actually play football? A WR who is fast, but allergic to actually making the catch. A 1st round safety that is a fringe starter on his best day and never makes a play? The only good OL we have is playing out of position making him below average. Both OG are below the margin talents. The Center we invested as 2nd round pick in is so hit or miss that he shouldn't be on the field. A LT we gave the biggest contract in the league and now is below average due to injury? A QB being paid like an MVP on a team where there is little chance for a decent offense? Like a 38 year old can carry a team with nothing? A GM and Coaching staff who have so misread the talent level on the team that they continue this nonsense and allowed us to make bad investments.

We hadn't drafted a receiver in the first two rounds since Adams so the receiving group has graduallly declined to the point we relied on Adams and when he went it fell off a cliff. We took what was left of the receivers, signed an injury prone Watkins, drafted a project and a 4th round and figures that would do. For it to work, we would have needed the rookies to be day 1 home run hits. They aren't although Doubs looks very promising so the receiving group is bad. And Rodgers isn't able to make up for a bad group anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two firsts, two seconds, plus your own picks (which could have been top 5?) really opens that window up. ...of course, the Packers could be 5-12/6-11 so they might be in range of that anyway. And I might be generous in finding this team 2 to 3 more wins. 28 teams would kill for a chance to have a Top 5 QB for even 1 year. You can spend a decade of First Rounders looking for one and not find it. That's why you ride the horse till he falls dead, because you're dead in the water without one.

Caleb Williams has already had his, will Ewers have his? The deep throw that Xavier Worthy dropped vs Bama that should've been a touchdown was enough for me. He can make every throw in the book and the moment doesn't seem to get to him. EDIT - NVM, the pass was caught at the 3. I remembered it wrong. Either way, that throw was enough for me.
