Great so Tua isn't playing. This is going to be another terrible game. Tua stinks, but Brissett stinks more. Idk how anyone could be positive or confident in anything considering the game last week.

We do have some good players on this team. We saw them over achieve. The coaching staff/GM have gotten some things terribly wrong. Ditching the veteran talent was short-sighted. We've talked on here about the draft choices. I don't know how they can fix this season's offensive team but I blindly hope that they can do at least something.
My hope level for this season is minimal. I don't want to see another tanking season, I don't care how high a pick we might get. I don't expected great success though. At this point, I want Flores to figure out what needs to change, and to start changing it. To see they have the OL wrong. Other things wrong. I need Flores to grow massively this year, because I really don't want to see more house clearing.
If that's what has to happen then so be it, but we saw some promise. I hope that this team can grow through this.
That's my hope, for whatever that's worth. -
If Carr is not playing we have a chance but the defense has to play much better.

Are you guys ready for Mitchell Trubisky to be our quarterback next season? I'm already looking at available free agents next year and he's pretty much the best QB available. I mean...Since we don't own our pick and all.
In order for me to change my state of mind regarding this team, we will need to win Sunday against the Raiders. Or....At the very least, play them one hell of a tough game start to finish. I have a feeling they are going to choke slam us though. Brissett did nothing for my confidence the other day. In fact, Brissett is starting to feel like a bad dream already. How long until Reid Sinnett starts to become a household name around here? He honestly plays with more guts than either Brissett or Tua. Damn, I hate to be this negative this early in the year, but this just does not feel right. We got our doors blown off at home against a team that we should have been pissed off at and motivated to play. There's no telling how this Raider game will go, because they are red hot out the gate and we are barely breathing after that beatdown last Sunday. I think this team goes as far as Brissett can take us. He's a game manager at best and I've seen plenty of him to know how good and bad he is. -
I felt like we needed to give Flores 4 years. This team had so many holes when he took over and we’ve made a major youth movement. I think an addition or two at OL, plus having this years pan out plus finding a franchise QB and we’re not far away. You could argue it’s tough to find a franchise QB. I think at some point we need to start taking some QB’s in mid to late rounds until they finally pull the plug on Tua. -

No. 4: Tua Tagovailoa, Alabama
Simms: “I do like his talent, there’s no doubt…Am I taking a little off the table because of the injury history? Yes. Am I taking a little off just because he’s injured right now? Yes…I’m not so sure he knows how to get out of harm’s way…He had a ton of talent around him (at Alabama). This is where we have to be careful when we evaluate quarterbacks…He’s a gifted athlete, he’s got great feet, he can hop around the pocket, he’s a good runner…I don’t think he’s necessarily going to be a great runner in the NFL…He’s a natural at the quarterback position, he really does understand it…He is very scary to me, I’m not necessarily sold that the type of style he plays will translate to the NFL…I’m certainly docking him a little bit because of size, injury history and further injury concern…Being in the Top 10, it would scare me with Tua.”hitman8 likes this. -
Simms has had good calls on QBs but not so sure about other positions. He would like to be a GM but it takes someone good in more than one area. You'd have to look at has picks at all positions. Videos exist. I posted a few here or in the draft forum during the pre draft period.

What makes Piss Simms qualified to make the personnel decisions of an NFL franchise? Being an assistant coach on the Patriots for one year...10 years ago? He's basically a shock jock NFL analyst.
