I’m more talking about his inability to put hitters away after getting ahead of the count his first full year. I think that is some of Jobes problem right now.

Go look at Verlander’s first year. That’s where I see Jobe at with struggling to put people away with 2 strikes and allowing hitters back in the count. Also Skubals first year where he gave up a lot of home runs. Jobe is going to struggle from time to time but he absolutely needs to be in the major leagues learning. With smaller amount of minor league teams the gap between mlb and aaa has never been bigger and his stuff is to good there.

Skubal struggled with the long ball his first year starting and also Verlander struggled missing bats and putting people away his first year. This start to Jobe’s career is expected. The raw stuff is amazing but he needs to learn how to pitch.

Maybe Bonds during his HR run?

Honestly this Tork is very playable if he hits with power. I’ll take low BA with high walks and plus power out of him.

It seems to be the RG next to Sewell tends to have a good year. So I’d put whoever they deem weakest in that spot.

Agreed for this season but I’m a little bit more nervous about 26/27. A lot with obviously depend on how Williams and McCarthy develop. I don’t love Williams but am a big fan of McCarthy specifically from a mental makeup and the coaching staff that the Vikings have. Good teams with rookie QB contracts can be tough. With that said I absolutely believe we have the right coach/gm/ownership makeup to maintain success.

This division is going to be very tough I think for the next few years. I doubt any team will be able to run away with it. I’m actually a little bit nervous about how long we will be able to maintain one of the top 2 spots. Probably need to find a development QB other then Hooker that will be cheap to help us continue to retain our stars and get cheaper at the QB position for after Goff in a couple years. Thinking not this year but one of the next couple drafts.

If I looked correctly only 3 penalties is the second half of the season. He made big strides at being less grabby. I think he’s going to develop into a very good CB2 this year and potentially CB1 for next year. Robertson goes back to slot and backup outside corner. Rakestraw is a backup at both roles with the plan to take over as primary slot in 26.

Sure but we aren’t getting 1/1 value out of him and likely never will. That doesn’t mean we should get rid of a good cheaper 4/5 because he didn’t reach his ceiling.

I’m in the camp that probably not this year but in 26 or 27 offseason we should be in the draft market for another QB project.

For me he’s worth at best a 5th round pick and probably not even that. Trading him would only happen because he wants out and a chance to start while he’s young enough to have one and the team is doing his career a favor.

Designated Post June Cut as it’s a lot of cap savings. He didn’t play enough snaps per game or effective enough in the ones he did play to warrant the huge salary necessary. That money could be spent on 2 DTs or resign Levi.

No, my reading of it is they have to be hired as a head coach or general manager. But I am not 100 percent sure on that.

We were always going to lose a good portion of our coaching staff this offseason. You can’t have as much sustained success over a couple years and that not happen. Also Glenn and Johnson are going to want to take atleast 1 or 2 assistants with them. I actually wouldn’t be surprised if this was talked about with Campbell and Holmes before hand as they both seem like managers who want their employees to have success and will help them get there. With that said with openings come opportunities. We have the talented roster and leadership that top young and experienced coaching talent is going to want to be apart of. I have no doubt we will be able to recruit a top notch coaching staff. There will be growing pains as they all adjust to one another and the players. Because of that on top of a tough looking road schedule I expect a step back in record next season. I still expect playoffs but would not be surprised to see us fighting for the wildcard and/or division until the last week.
