Could be the tweet of a man that feels he’s on a team

I don't think Caleb has played much hero ball at all actually.

If anything he needs to better let it rip to half open guys on schedule.

This.

Exactly.

Flus coached up the only throw if he’s wide open. No picks ever.

I think Bagent will be fine. A lot of the NFL is dominating in that 10-20 yard range with lots of high percentage shots in rhythm. Is it important to be able to massively stretch the field from any position with arms and feet? Definitely. The massive ceiling would be amazing, but it's not some hardline requirement. QB isn't really like any other position, and that's why it still hasn't been figured out.

Things like spatial awareness, accuracy, knowledge of yourself and your opponents can't be understated, the cool under pressure, the never give up mentality... it's all really hard to account for, but it all matters in the bigger picture. Will it limit his ceiling from being in that all world freak show category where you really can't gameplan for it? Yes. Lets just hope Caleb becomes that guy so we won't even have to stress over it.

In one of the starts Tyson threw deep on the first play and hit Mooney along the sidelines for a big gain, so it's not like he can't throw deep at all. He just may not have a Josh Allen or Herbert type arm.

One prediction I'll make too, speaking of throwing deep, is that Caleb will prove his doubters wrong about being able to throw an accurate deep ball. I think his low % last year was all circumstantial.

I can’t see us taking a LT off waivers because I doubt a good one gets cut, but a RB or Edge might.

I think he can do it, and velocity can actually be worked on. In terms of the throwing off platform, on 1 knee, while drinking a cup of milk IDK about that, but from the pocket it looks like he can make the throws you need. These were against good coverage. 2nd and 3rd string, but good coverage is good coverage. He's dropping it in there.

I was rooting for Wheeler!

[Dresden]

Yeah, Wheeler and Austin Reed would be nice to hang onto. Hopefully they'll make the practice squad.

I was rooting for Wheeler. But I also understand this is a business and it was always a long shot.

Can Tyson Bagent be a starting QB?

Not that anybody cares except me, but Mooney isn't on our roster anymore. I miss him, because I still think Mooney had plenty of untapped potential, but I think you're talking about Tyler Scott or Burden. Either way, the depth at WR and TE is ridiculous, rendering Mooney's exit irrelevant. I can't believe what Poles has done in this regard. If this offense isn't humming in season, that's only because we need a little more improvement in the trenches. But in every other way, this has been a stellar offseason for the offense. I expect Caleb to come through for us with a winning season, and for us to follow that up with legit Superbowl title contention years. I'm trying to temper my optimism but if Caleb really is Kobe, that's probably how this is gonna go.

You must be rich, bro. $6,000,000 at a conservative 4% return is $240,000/yr without doing anything. Put it in the SPY and average 6% to %10, that could be as much as $600,000 without any additional outside earnings or investments for life. That $10 mill is added to what he's already earned as an NFL backup, hope he's not in debt already, lol.

I explained in much greater detail later, but the problem isn't that you couldn't live off that money if you knew exactly what you were doing and planned on it to be the only money you will ever have. That would be relatively easy. The problem is fundamentally no one looks at the problem that way, and even decisions that don't seem extravagant in the moment end up being extravagant if this is the bulk of your career earnings.

Yea and he already in his post-signing pressor was talking about helping people from his town. Not the best thing when your still not secure beyond this contract just yet

No it was Mooney in a game v. the Chargers in 2023. Mooney was good and underutilized here. But he got a big pay day in ATl and we just weren't in the position to match.

Speaking of which, McLaurin signed an extension for 3/96 today. That's why you need to be always be bringing along a new crop of WR's. There's no way we can afford that kind of dough for DJ and Rome and Burden and Loveland, etc.
