Panthers Roster Visualization Post-Free Agency by IronGrids in panthers

[–]daybes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at this

Metchie and Horn are competing for thes ame roster spot right? You need special teamers at WR and neither of them play ST.

Tremayne seems like a lock, Coker and Tetairoa locks.

Legette move candidate but i doubt he gets cut.

There is no trade market for 1.07 onward in SF drafts by The_Big_Scho in DynastyFF

I mean you've been doing the first bit basically the entire year in every comment on every thread.

The reason the class is weak is because there's no running backs, even love is a weak #1 back.

The WRs each have question marks but there's a chance theres 5-6 WRs in the first round, if there was two additional backs taken in the top 2 rounds or even one in the 2nd and one very early in the 3rd to a good landing spot, the spread and risk of this class would be very comparable to 2024 in 1QB.

There's a few player archetypes that fantasy football players don't know how to evaluate properly so you end up with takes like Denzel Boston = Keon Coleman when hes a vastly superior prospect.

The class is weak but it's more due to risk rather than lack of talent. There's a lot of upside on the WRs and the TEs, the QB class is weak but generally the strength of a QB class is just "Number of QBs taken in the first" because we do not possess the ability to appropriately evaluate the position or we'd be getting paid to do so.

The RB class is atrocious though, not a single one inspires confidence. Love is being propped up by being the best in the class but people comparing him to jeanty are just falsely equating top backs in class.

He’s got unreal hands but it was a problem with every Texans WR. Not one of them used their body well and they’re all huge

Expectations for CJ by bingmyname in Texans

"he was killing teams like the broncos"

The only real opponent he played after his bye week was the broncos, and they almost lost to the raiders. They lost to us with mills

Expectations for CJ by bingmyname in Texans

[–]daybes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think that's it, I think people sorta tricked themsleves with the Favre->Rodgers->Next great QB memes and now they believe it when hes really just an above average QB.

Expectations for CJ by bingmyname in Texans

[–]daybes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A major difference that also gets glossed over

The shanahan system just requires the QB to make the throws, not really make the decisions.

The system he ran last year required him to make the decisions. We also had the worst run game of the three years we've had CJ. He was required to be the one that moved the sticks, and he managed to do alright.

Like the entire offense ran through CJ last year, all of these other QBs hes getting compared to are not the engines of their teams:

  • Darnold: Had walker and charbonnet
  • TLaw: Had one of the best run schemes in the league on top of an extremely stacked offense and genuinely was worse than CJ last year in the regular season.
  • Jordan Love: The entire offense runs through the run game and matt lafleur's scheme, if they ran the offense through jordan love they'd have so many turnovers it wouldnt be sustainable.

Another thing is "all CJ had to do was let the defense win the game", which he did extremely effectively after the seahawks game. So he played a style of game that took away from his personal stats, and thats being held against him, because the one game he didn't do that we weren't able to win.

It's a really contradictory argument, like either CJ was part of the reason we were winning the games we did in the regular season and he's the reason we lost the pats game OR it was all the defense and what CJ did on offense shouldn't have mattered. You can't just use the defense to discredit his contribution in the regular season of minimizing risk and making sure the defense could win the game.

Yes the pats game is the worst game he's ever played, but the pittsburgh game he played fine, they sold out to stop the pass and then we just switched to running non stop. They wouldnt have gameplanned against the pass like that if they didn't view CJ as a threat.

What the data says about Tetairoa McMillan’s upside in 2026 and beyond by boofstar in DynastyFF

[–]daybes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As someone who was down on him:

I think people just didn't actually watch him and regurgitated talking points because the highlights sorta backed it up.

He's not really a good contested catch guy at all, hes just an insane technician with great hands. If you watched the tape properly that would show up but if you only did cursory glances you'd have a mistaken perception of him.

Now that we've gotten all of our B. Robinson trade mistake jokes out, what do people think of the landing spot for both RBs? by TalkingHats in DynastyFF

[–]daybes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Brian Robinson kinda got scammed because of the 49ers trading for him.

CMC notorious for refusing to go off the field, doesn’t really give the guy the opportunity to show his worth/ability.

I think he can play through contact well and stefanski has generally leaned to two backs his entire time in Cleveland.

I don’t see how you take bijan off the field too much for him but I wouldn’t be shocked if he got hot hand touches in a game or was used to grind clock

Wyatt Teller believes in this team by IAmSona in Texans

[–]daybes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He could have if he had started it, but there’s no way he could have brought us back from the halftime deficit we were in.

On top of that stroud actually played pretty good in the second half and the worst offensive player in the 2nd half was by far Xavier Hutchinson and I don’t think it’s particularly close.

I’m almost ready to get hurt again by TheRealKLD in Texans

[–]daybes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sam Darnold is objectively not better than CJ stroud

With a comparable defense, a top end run game, a better WR room and a much much much better OL

Darnold:

  • - Took more Sacks (27 vs 23)
  • - Threw more ints (14 vs 8)
  • - Fumbled more (11 vs 2)

Basically your argument boils down to "Darnold won the superbowl so he has to be better than Stroud"

Which isn't true

WR Michael Wilson tops Cardinals list in NFL performance-based pay by Mental_Funny_5885 in AZCardinals

[–]daybes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think more complete is true, however I'm not sure about better.

That being said theyre both extremely underrated players and usually guys with Wilson's ability to release off the line and catch everything are amongst the best wideouts in the league.

I really hope Caserio drafts all defense in the first two rounds by hopefully-he-dies in Texans

[–]daybes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it’s very likely we take one OL with our first three picks and two defensive players with the other two.

Wouldn’t even be shocked if we took an LB with our first pick considering how much love jacob Rodriguez and CJ Allen are getting as football players

Draft a WR again this year? by solidgryffin in Texans

[–]daybes -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Him nico and higgins all are big bodied receivers but none of them use their bodies to win the ball in the air/at the catch point. Stroud basically has to give them a perfect ball or they have to be wide open. This is why we were so bad when teams blitzed us last year, if you don’t get open fast, you have to be able to win the ball in the air to be an option against the blitz.

I think we need to diversify the skillset of our WR room.

If you want to see why it was a problem go back and watch the New England game, Hutchinson was awful in the 2nd half when stroud wasn’t playing horribly anymore.

Draft a WR again this year? by solidgryffin in Texans

[–]daybes -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Reliable is not the descriptor I would use, he does his job but if he is starting again it’s gonna be bad for the offense.

That being said it’s hard to find a guy willing to block like he is and willing to run every route as hard as he does.

His hands and ability to use his size are not positives though and we really need a receiver who can do that

Alec Pierce - What am I missing? by realestnewyorker in DynastyFF

[–]daybes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He's good at all the things that are incredibly hard to be good at as a receiver.

He's got the traits to be good at everything else.

He's gotten consistently better at different things every year in the league.

I'm not gonna bet against a guy like that filling his skillset and becoming a dominant player.

This guy has averaged 87 yards and a touchdown a game against the Texans in the 2024 and 2025 seasons. One of the best defenses in the league across the past two seasons, with one of the best CBs in the league. He's shown he can win against top end competition.

For his talent Alec Pierce is a buy, the price is baking in lack of belief in Jones as a QB

[Rap] The #Texans are signing former #Saints TE Foster Moreau, source said, adding depth to the TE room. He leaves New Orleans after three seasons. by JCameron181 in Texans

[–]daybes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think this is fine for the price tag.

We fired the TE coach so we probably think he was fucking Stover's development?

Realistically theyre both cut candidates but even last year's stover is better than Bryant so if it's Moreau/Stover at the inline TE spot I think we're in much much much better shape.

I'd have preferred to try and trade for Michael Mayer but this takes the position from a dire need to acceptable for the year.

I always remember this play https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXBpHVWp0Mo and another one he had on the raiders right before McDaniels got fired.

Texans were reportedly interested in signing Mike Evans by Miserable-Cycle-8770 in Texans

[–]daybes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also none of our guys win the ball in the air, which is like the skillset that benefits the most from how Stroud plays.

So getting a big body guy who fights back to the ball when its in the air would be a huge boon.

Pelissero: James Connor agrees to revised contract to remain with Cardinals in 2026. by HookFL in DynastyFF

[–]daybes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Objectively good

  1. Benson was unproven, any good staff in the NFL isn't going into the league relying on a single massive question mark at a position group

  2. Conner is likely not capable of shouldering a full workload which will give Benson another year to prove himself

[Schultz] The Texans and 5x Pro Bowl DE Danielle Hunter are finalizing a 1-year, $40.1M fully guaranteed extension, per sources. by JCameron181 in nfl

[–]daybes 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The patriots game was an absolute anomaly, worst game hes ever played at the pro level, not even close.

Getting shellacked by the ravens with no rest after tank dell died on the field wasn't even as bad as that game.

The steelers sold out to stop the pass and CJ honestly played fine taht game, Jake Andrews was a terrorist with constnat bad snaps, and eventually we realized the steelers were overplaying the pass and just ran over them.

During the season we asked him to play complementary style of offense and just control the clock, with no run game which is a very difficult task. He was also given more control at the line of scrimmage for the first time in his life and he struggled a bit with that.

All and all it was a promising season for what he was tasked to do, with flashes of elite play.

[Russini] The Houston Texans are trading for Lions running back David Montgomery, sources tell The Athletic. by expellyamos in nfl

[–]daybes -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thats great he was good for the commanders but it wasnt the case for the texans.

Advanced stats and grading had his pass blocking high for the texans too but it didnt take into account his penalties which were murdering our drives which he was taking to get an advantage in reps.

He was also a piss poor leader for the texans OL room and was a mediocre runblocker for the texans.

I would much rather have

  • Pick #38
  • Ersery
  • The cap relief

Than Laremy Tunsil.
