If the DL is better, and man do I expect it will be, then it will be interesting. You can almost predict that people will say Budda is having a down year and falling off when it will really be a function of having a better DL so he doesn't end up playing at the LOS so much.
Just lovely so we can see his above par coverage skills????? Oh WAIT….

Just downloaded the next 15! Some are not going to like my choices!

In anticipation of day 15 until training camp let's watch this commercial with Stoney Case's girlfriend back in the day. She used to sit the next section over a couple of rows ahead and really made the bad football much more tolerable.

This is cherry picking stats due to games plays by the #1 and Kyler for some seasons, but I have a great comparison!

2019 Fitz 804 yards
2020 Hopkins 1407 yards
2021 Kirk 982 yards, Green 848 yards while Hopkins missed half the season
2022 Hopkins 717 yards in 9 game, Brown 709 in 12 games
2023 Just bad, Kyler only played 8 games and McBride had 70% of his yardage in those 8 games
2024 McBride 1146 Yards, Harrison 885 yards

McBride is our #1 Receiver

Lets compare to the Chiefs who top two play all or all but 1 game in each season.

2019 Kelce 1229 yards, Hill 860 yards
2020 Kelce 1416 yards, Hill 1276 yards
2021 Hill 1239 yards, Kelce 1125 yards
2022 Kelce 1338 yards, Smith-Schuster 933 yards
2023 Kelce 984 yards, Rice 938 yards
2024 Kelce 823 yards, Worthy 638 yards

I guess 1000 yard #1 WR does not equal a SB!
Ouch.. careful those stats and facts are gonna get some people in their feelings!

There's a lot of backhanded Kyler criticism in this video without ever outright saying it. Apart from calling him fair to middling.

"The defense over performed and the offense under performed"

"NFL games come down to just a few plays...if you win on those plays...you'll win a lot more games than you lose. The Cardinals were almost like the anti-chiefs, every time they came up against those plays it just didn't work"

"This is really sort of the pay it off year for Kyler Murray. Like, if this year doesn't work with all of the experience he has now, with running this offense, with the run game supporting him, with enough weapons at wide receiver, if he is fair to middling again, I think the questions are going to ramp up loudly"

Shouldn’t this be in the Kyler thread?

While paying that stiff TE (I don’t even remember his name) 7 mill per for 3 years and promptly did nothing but rack up stupid penalties and not much else on the field.
Hey! No need to bring Jermaine Gresham into this. :D

I wouldn't call Calais a generational player, FWIW. He played in the same period as JJ Watt and Aaron Donald. Pro Football Reference comps him to Justin Smith, which is a great comparison for a guy who's a borderline hall of famer (and should make it on Vibes/Walter Payton MOY).

I'm all about an all-inclusive jaunt, but I booked my N.O. trip and I literally spent $750 for EVERYTHING. Of course traveling from AZ rather than Philly factors in I'm sure, but as long as I can tailgate and party with my fellow Cards fans I'm GOOD!!!!
I booked 2 rooms at hotel near the stadium Fri-Mon for $800 total. Add the 4 game tickets still total cost is under $1k for 4 people. Driving from St. Louis so sharing gas costs. $250 per person is not bad.

I kinda like that. Im not a huge fan of the numbers, But I like the sleeveless cut..it brings out my inner redneck.. but I really like that decorative support on the V Neck under the NFL shield. For some reason breaking up that neck stripe with a bit of texture in base color just adds a touch of style to the jersey as a whole.
I might buy one of these this year.



Oh yeah...really, really wish that damn flag was a patch instead os a print though

Keep in mind that jersey design is a concept. They haven't unveiled the real thing as of yet.

I see... but this design has been circulating on multiple outlets for several months now. I imagine its not far off from the finished product.
