Ford has many talents and skills.  Hasn't been able to put it together.  I think he still might but likely a decent #2 that might turn into a 3 if he can't improve.  I have always liked him.  Agree can't read a D.

I think with the right coaching, Tre Ford is a capable QB. Certainly has more upside than Streveler.

He reads a defense about as good as Streveler if we're comparing.

I stand corrected. You once, about a decade ago, didn't like a coordinator coaching signing but concluded it went well shortly after. My bad.

Thanks for clarifying and reminding everyone for the 400th time that we should "talk ball" and not dispute any of your rosy outlooks even when yoi interject them in the middle of other people "taking ball".

Will we be having a real training camp this year or will all our veterans be receiving helmets on day one and these guys are for future evaluation only?

We need leaders who can lead by being better than the man across from them this year. Not leaders who get washed out every play and go months without a tackle. The latter is an example of a coach in pads and the end result will be the same as last year if we take the same approach.

You would hope someone here could be about as athletic as some of the dinosaurs on our offensive line but will they be given an actual chance? And if someone is, are we committed enough to tell someone like Stanley no?

If not, we're in for 2025 2.0. We talked tough at the start of the off season but our actions have largely signalled the opposite of late.

Zach has sucked the team dry and under performed the last few years, time to give something back.

Not true imo.  Zach has been one of the primary reasons we have preformed well over the last few years.  Tough year last year.  Overstated on the negative but I get it, it's your posting style about him.  Looking for a bounced back if we can rebuild the OL.

I don't think Mack's coming in at a discount. He's in talks with multiple teams at the moment.

Yep, a lot of these elite receivers will command a hefty salary to sign, which makes some of them a pretty big risk if they can't produce up to expectations, which is something that happens almost every year around thge league.  Actually pretty rare for the top paid receivers put up the best numbers.

How about signing both Schoen and Mack to incentive laden contracts.
We'd have a quality wr in the lineup until Schoen gets healthy, and Schoen as insurance if Mack underperforms or is hurt. If they both end up healthy and performing we could also trade one if the cap is an issue

I expect them to get a few more reps but with our depth and number of LBs yes could be a concern but not one I'm overally worried about (yet).

...We could be 0-17 and down 38 points in the forth quarter of the final week and you wouldn't be worried, to be fair.
