Now that some of the Portal news is out of the bag

Ward is great but the hype he’s getting is a tad redic

I think it comes from our desire for information. We aren't getting much so we harp on what's available.

Dont know but they weren't productive sans Bain so I dont really care. Bring me a pass rusher.

Oh you care! Even if we get him he still will be behind mesidor, Kelly, bain, Wayne! He would be 3rd team and that's without mentioning Pickett, Lightfoot, Rudolph, mconathy(sp)...and dare I say stick figure moss!

Cam Ward and Michael Pratt aren’t in the same stratosphere imo.

You're not very good at determining stratospheres lol

Yikes! Still time left to delete this.

Paul Crewe had better protection when he tried to throw the game. @Udynasty and @Stevo365 conviently left that tidbit out.

I don’t think it’s easy to break those habits. Usually QBs who are used to bad protection are skiddish for life. It would take a ton of dedication in the off-season and working full time with someone like Jordan Palmer who helped Josh Allen break the habit.
But if he can learn to trust the protection, set his feet, mix in off platform throws and trust his athleticism the sky is the limit.
I’m bullish on our returning WRs too. Add in Ray Ray, a healthy more experienced TE room and our backs and this offense should be insane.

No I’m saying the hype he’s getting nationally

So, from your logic he beats out everybody but bain?

From actual logic nobody but Bain deserves to be ahead in a competition. What has Kelly achieved? What has Wayne achieved? Where has Mesidor been the vast majority of the last 2 seasons?

Cam Ward is NOT Patrick Mahomes. Cam Ward might not even be Bryce Young but if we some how manage to get him,making the playoff is a realistic expectation.

I don't agree with that assesment. I think on a week to week basis that has some merit. Not with a new team in a new offense with new players. The point I was making though is some of those fumbles directly correlate to putrid OL play.

I went into the year high on Pratt because of the USC game. (). This is 100% correct and I should have known better.

Even in that game he was only 8/17 (47%). They did make some big plays because usc defense was terrible

We had to blitz too much to get pressure that’s for sure

I think that’s why I was so impressed with Guidry. When you have CBs that are not elite and no real pass rush without pressure it usually spells big trouble

 

[252cane]

I thought he was a bum tbh

But I watched some Oregon St games last year. Not entirely sure why but I did. And I was like ya know this is the type of dude I want to see at Miami. Sure perfect world we have a Caleb Williams Drake Maye but we’ve lacked a dual threat here for….well forever

Just watching Jacurri Brown spark the team a bit last year when he was woefully unprepared and we were absolute horse **** on offense you see that element we are constantly missing, somehow still in 2023

Not sure if he specifically is our answer, but I’d love to see us try

You mean Maryland?

 

[kccanefan]

In my opinion. Both Kelly and Mesidor have been injury prone up to this point. Wayne showed some flashes, but needs a little more development. Excited about him though. Regardless you bring in as much talent as possible and let the best guy win out. Iron sharpens iron.

Wrong Polynesian

Yeah flipped my schools there

Had the right guy in my mind

I’m gonna learn from this. Gonna work hard to improve and watch some tape.

It all starts with me

The problem it’s not one year of bad protection. It’s his entire career.

Yeah morbid curiosity about Gattis I think

Its **** when our WRs would struggle to get separation and the play is literally dead for us

Totally agree!
