You obviously didn't watch the offense early in the year vs now, or understand complimentary football. BTW, you also must not understand they were on their 4th C, 3rd LG, 2nd RT. The OL will be better with better health. No need to give Stroud the weapons he needs to succeed. This is going nowhere, I'm done with discussing this with you.
Kansas City showing the world, for the second year in a row, that wide receivers don't win championships. Kansas City lead the league in drops this year, Houston was second. New England during the 2nd pats dynasty routinely was near the top for drops. CJ is on that Mahomes/Brady level. Give him a running game, and give him a defense, but don't ever waste a day one (or even day two) pick on a WR.
You do realize Hardeman was a day 1 pick. Rice was a day 2 pick and they've got Kelce who opens everything up.
Coaching and play calling matter too. Just goes to show that a lot has to go right in order to play on the big stages, even if you have a top QB.
Now look how you're moving the goalpost. At first it was that Tank Dell would have overcome the offensive line and defensive line getting dominated, now it's about linemen that would not have been there even if Tank Dell was there. Stroud's weapons are good enough to win a Super Bowl with (especially if Tank Dell is the all world WR that can overcome the line getting dominated). The offensive line and defense are not yet.
Would you consider Achane a game changer. If so draft Bucky Irving. Would you want a young Aaron Jones on your team? If so draft Braelon Allen or Trey Benson. Unfortunately you probably will have to spend a 2nd to draft one of these guys.
It does, but adding another weapon like Thomas would open up the offense. Cant cover them all and with CJ's accuracy, I can guarantee you that the offense would put more than 3 points on the board.
Achane is a game changer, possibly ranked a little better than Irving as a prospect. I'm still 90% sure all these RBs will be there in the 3rd for the tanking, one of Irving, Brooks or Benson. We do need one.
Agreed, really warming to Thomas. He's taken up football only recently (past few years) and has been showing tremendous growth. Athletic, great route running and has a good release. Things can be tightened up!
Held them to 17 pts for three quarters, if the offense would have score 1 touchdown, they would be tied at 17 at the beginning of the 4th quarter, but the offense didnt get near the 40 yard line. Ravens were doubling teaming Nico, and let anyone single coverage, but Woods, Metchie, Hutchinson, couldnt create space, like Dell would have.
And the Ravens scored 17 in the 4th. The Texans could not stop the run at all. Dell would not change that. So the Texans still lose 34-17 or 34-24 at best.
don't overthink it, we need to be elite in the trenches (o line and d line). That is priority #1. I don't care about sexy WRs or RBs. Who do the Ravens have at RB? Gus Edwards (undrafted FA) Justice Hill (4th rd pick). Chiefs start Pacheco (7th rd pick) over their 1st rounder. Ravens WR room when healthy is as good as ours already when healthy, so we don't need to upgrade there. Chiefs have no WRs as good as us. Getting Mike Evans is a waste of time. Mediocre QBs need elite offensive weapons to look good. Elite QBs do not.
It all depends on timing of the offers.It could happen if the OC position is filled before Slowik leaves. With positions being filled rapidly, coaches might jump at opportunities too quick.
