To Nick Cross. 23 years old today.. that’s it folks. That’s the post. Have a good night. 

Only 23 and getting better and better...I think he will join Rienmann, Fries and Pierce as ex forum whipping boys.

I never understood the hate for them. I've loved Raimann and Pierce constantly from the beginning. I always liked Fries as a top depth guy, and he's become more. I said it was going to take Nick a few years, but he could become elite. 

Let guys develop. 

These days fans, and heck, even the teams don't have patience anymore when it comes to developing young players. 

Happy birthday Nick!

Yep Raimann...I butchered his name. Thanks!

still a lot of growth out of him. Has 2-3 seasons to get in peak form, imo. I liked what I saw week 1. He’s a real athlete and has been durable (knock on hardwood).

    • Goodness, that 5 YPC career average includes the anomalous 60 yarders that he hasn't gotten since 2021.  You said the same thing I did except you put a stat behind it.   Defenses shut JT  down the last 3 games of 2021.  That's why the offense collapsed...no...it wasn't Wentz......Wentz had his big play threat taken away so the offense was put entirely on him.  That was the difference in the offense from the middle of that season and the end of that season....JT not making big plays anymore.     Ability to score points via the run game is important when there are limited possessions.  Driving 50 yards with a lot of run plays that results in no score....like what happened the entire game......burns clock that you need for multiple possessions to score twice.  Its better to go three and out with 3 filed passes because it only costs you 15 seconds of clock.  Hopefully the next possession connects on a few passes.  A few successful runs are not likely to get first downs, but burn clock in the last quarter.   C;mon man, nearly everybody who wanted JT in the game wasn't thinking about the clock, they were just wishing he would bust a long one like the ones they remember from 2021.  It's what Colts fans do.    And now they'll want AR to throw a bomb to AP....and both of those wishes that will hardly ever come true again will make them think the play calling/coaching some how fails the players when the offense doesn't score.
    • Not a cliche', but the best response a head coach ever had regarding his struggling team.   Reporter: What do you think about your team's execution? Bucs Coach John McKay: I'm in favor of it.
    • 9-7.    So what have learned about all of the teams across the league after two games?    Pretty much absolutely nothing except the Saints are on a historic run at the start. And that the Chiefs will continue to win most if not all of their games under any situation (defense, Mahomes, refs...)
    • This fan base would have run Manning out of town in his rookie season. And then again in 2001. 
    • I believe he "survives."  The ownership core - Jim Irsay and his daughters appear to be pretty hands-off at this time - possibly due to serious health concerns outweighing their obligations to the team and fans.  As long as the franchise is financially viable and the money flows - they won't move on from their team's GM.
