Wow that's a lot of faith in guys that weren't even considered draftable. A 4 year starter not being an upgrade over wet behind the ears long shot UDFA's? SMH.
We have a new OC that was a TE coach and worked in the Shanahan system where TE's are elite pass catchers (think Kittle and Sharpe). I've got a great feeling about Arroyo and Barner this year.
If anything we may have too many weapons.
Lets look at this.
Offense:
QB: 2013.
Russ just nudges out Darnold largely due to mobility. In terms of passing there's not much difference that year.
OL: 2025.
Cross, Lucas and Zabel are cornerstone guys. No one on the 2013 line got a second contract other than Unger.
TE: 2025
Barner is...
I’d agree that’s too much cash for a RBBC guy. He’s not durable enough to bell cow. But I wish him the best. As for KC, I think you had bigger needs than a platoon back.
Minor gamble. RB is the simplest position to replace with college ranks literally flooded with solid players at that position.
K9 is a platoon back. Too fragile to be a bell cow. No need to overpay for a RBBC player. Would I love to have him back? Sure but not at a premium price.
Wasn’t even close to the percentages you quoted. Maybe 10-15% at the home opener and 1 percent at the playoff game. They are concentrated in certain areas so it can look like more, but it’s really a small number.
They totally missed a blatant OPI by Puka in Sundays game. And I’m pretty convinced they miss a lot of the Rams pick plays. Whether that’s intentional or not is very much up for interpretation.
How can a fan base that invented the paper sack over their head be insufferable? They’re a cursed franchise.
You sound like you have some personal beefs. And no legit Hawks fan would ever cheer for the Rams in a battle for the division. Like ever.
Pretty sure you can only be odd or predictable. And again, most fans think a play call is odd or predictable when it doesn’t work. And again play not working can be due to way more reasons than the play call.
We’ve played a lot of string defenses this year. Rams, SF, Hou, Jax, Minny, Indy, Pitt, and even Arizona.
I’m not convinced Kubiak is a big issue but I get that fans want to fire any coordinator that can’t score 35 points a game.
