Most contenders don't have a great backup

 

If you have a great backup you probably don't have a great starter... Kyle Allen's career passer rating is 10 points higher than Blaine gabbard the Chiefs backup

I am surprised we haven't kicked the tires on Carson Wentz.

 I saw a tweet earlier saying both Ken Dorsey & Diggs went after Elam for being really "handsy" in today's practice.

 

 

 

Yup,  but Elam for the most part should ignore them, if it’s not about letting them run plays so they get the timing down etc, outside of that he should do what he’s doing, he’s not there to let receivers catch the ball,

Because they would fall off.

I think we are at the point where Beane is going to have to use a 4th or 5th round pick project kinda qb behind Josh.

 

We really can’t pay big money for a quality backup and let’s face it if he goes down this team is looking at being in the Marvin Harrison Jr sweepstakes with the dropoff in talent.

 So at that point, where the holding has gotten so bad the OC & #1 WR are going directly up to the CB and complaining, what does McDermott do? On one hand HC McDermott should probably put a stop to it, but on the other hand DC McDermott is probably loving it.

Elam’s number one priority, like all CBs is to prevent WRs from catching the ball, like I said in previous posts in this thread, unless it’s a point of the offense getting their timing down, he should ignore both the OC & WR #1, their priorities are not Elam’s priorities.

No need to bang any drum.  The 2023 season hasn’t even started yet.  Why don’t we let the season unfold and then start banging about what positions we should draft?

 

what if brown turns out to be the answer @ RT and Dawkins plays well?  What if the IOL shows lots of improvement?  What if gabe steps up and is resigned while Harty/Sherfield/shakir play the perfect compliment to Kincaid?  
 

I agree- WR and OL could be our priority in the draft next season….. IF the current options fail.  We might need a pass rusher/DT, MLB or safety.  BPA at a position of relative need.  
 

I just don’t see why anyone would be banging on anything regarding next years draft on august 10th

It seems like the most obvious positions that need an injection of high end talent and youth that’s why. And I’m confident that both will be big needs come draft time

Could be-  I hope you’re wrong. I’m sure you hope the same.  
 

I just don’t understand why we’re already talking about banging the table for certain positions in next years draft.  We don’t even know which prospects we’ll be looking at.

Last time I checked this is a message board no?

The OC and WR1 are trying to help Elam - not sure why the DB coach is not - but if Elam gets called for PI and keeps our O off the field, its every bit as much of an issue as the drops we saw from l'il dirty and gabe last year that drove us all nuts. Just saying.

Regarding Kyle Allen
 

He’s telling you what’s going on right here. The office is complicated. He’s new to it.

 

Let’s give him a chance to see if he can get better at it

There is aggressive play, and stupid play.....Elam has mad skills, but he can't be giving up the first down before the ball comes close to the WR.

So the only thing I’m gonna say on this is I don’t remember seeing Elam getting flagged for penalties whenever he was in the games last year sure does he need to work on his holding yes but the NFL allows a ton of holding if they didn’t allow holding sauce. Gardner wouldn’t be the player that is.
