New rankings for 2023:

1. Hurts
2. Dak
3. Jones
4. Howell

Every year presents a new opportunity though, nowhere for Howell to go but up. Hopefully he solves this qb debate until our new owner refuses to pay him and he goes to the Vikings to replace Kirk lol.

Hard to argue with that order although it wouldn't surprise me if both Hurts and Jones took a step backwards from last years performances.

Don't know what to think about Prescott, sometimes he looks unstoppable but other times he looks like garbage.

Hopefully our new DBs will tip the numbers in Howells favour, both Jones and Prescott will give bunches of INTs given half a chance, they just haven't against us. Honestly one the real goals I have for next season is to stop this riduculous win steak Jones has been on against us

Agreed. Some players can play at an elite level for a year but then they fall off. It's hard to do it sustainably when the league has time to prepare. That's what truly separates the greats. Also agree on Dak, his stats look great on paper but obviously no matter how good he looks in the regular season he/they fall apart in crunch time.

Just hope Howell will be QB#1 for years to come!

Nice read. I didn't know anything about Gates, so this is a nice story. Hopefully he can stay healthy for a full season this year.

I'm good with no expectations. I think we will be improved over last year for whatever thats worth.

Pre-season rankings are like immediate draft grades. But even knowing that, I'd rather be higher than lower.

Howell is gonna surprise this year. I'm excited for 2023.

EB is what this team needs.

Shady McCoy basically destroyed EB. He said didn't do anything when it came to game planning, play design or strategy. All he did was talk to the running backs during meetings. I get that he was a past his prime player but the fact that he was passed over so many times for a head job really makes me wonder.

Going to take a wait and see approach.

Lol when McCoy said negative things about EB, many other players immediately stood up for EB. This tells me that EB doesn't accept BS from any players and push players to play hard, which is exactly what we need.

[sdskinsfan2001]

Get Forbes out of the slot. Can we just have 1 guy that is really good at his position. Rivera wants the damn longsnapper to have position flexibility.

Put Forbes at the boundary corner and then LEAVE HIM BE.

[MTK]

Nothing wrong with giving him some looks in the slot. If he's shadowing a WR and that WR moves inside, Forbes will have to go too. Of if there's an injury to someone he might have to move.
