Can you win a Super Bowl without a great #1 WR?

[Forward_Lateral]

All of them. They literally added nobody at the positions we lost.

They added Curtis Samuel and lost Gabe. No loss

Corner they lost Tre, who really hadn't contributed in the last 2 seasons, and they got Douglas last year, who was a major upgrade.

The only position I will agree with you on safety, but Poyer and Hyde were gonzo regardless. There's STILL THE DRAFT.

They haven't replaced Diggs yet, so what's the point of complaining about it? They can't be any worse without him than they were the 2nd half of last season, when they basically won without him anyways.

[Forward_Lateral]

Rapp was the backup. Douglas was brought in to complement White, not replace him, but I’ll give you that Benford spent most of the season playing for White anyway. Samuel not being a kid doesn’t mean he’s good enough to replace Diggs. You already said McGovern is a question mark. I’ll admit I don’t know much about Edwards but one can’t replace two.

Rapp started 33 games in a row for the Rams before signing with Buffalo. He was a backup last year, behind Poyer and Hyde, but he's not a career backup with no experience like you are making him out to be.

There’s a reason Rapp was the backup.

Yes Poyer and Hyde had a reputation of being good. Doesn’t mean they were anymore.

Those days have passed.

[Woodman]

You would be negative no matter who they signed.

This captures it.

Gregg.

So are we moving up?

I’ve come to the conclusion that Op CAN’T be this ignorant (lacking knowledge, information, or awareness about a particular thing.) He has to be just playing devils advocate! He thrives on being negative, I won’t be baited by him about this anymore.

Either that, or we lost talent and everyone is jumping through hoops to pretend that we didn’t cuz it’s easier to blame Op for being negative than face the reality that 2024 will be a setback.

Show me a positive upbeat post and i'll give you a nickel.

[Forward_Lateral]

Because they had Poyer and Hyde.

exactly it's not rocket science.

Nope you’ve been doing this stick for too long for me not to think it’s an act. Why would anybody subject themselves to that much pain for that long.

[OpIv37]

Because they had Poyer and Hyde.

:facepalm:

You claim Rapp is going to replace one of them. But Rapp was on the bench behind them. How do you not see the problem here?

Do you really think McDermott was going to bench Poyer or Hyde?

Also, did you not notice Rapp was on the field a lot last season, at safety when they moved Poyer down to more of a LB role?

[OpIv37]

Do you really think McDermott was going to bench Poyer or Hyde?

If they’re not the best players, and he’s not benching them, that’s a huge problem.

[kscdogbillsfan1221]

now THIS i completely agree with.

[Forward_Lateral]

If they’re not the best players, and he’s not benching them, that’s a huge problem.

Again,

Do you really think McDermott would've benched Hyde or Poyer?

Because Poyer was a highly respected Safety and on a big contract. Regardless of his current skill set, he was the starter.
I believe Terrell Bernard was a better LB than Edmunds but if Edmunds was still on the team we would know about Bernard expect for spot duty.

i don’t think Rapp played Hyde’s safety roll BUT Hyde barely made the field, is still available and THAT speaks volumes.

[Forward_Lateral]

Also, if your only argument is Rapp, then your point is idiotic anyways.

They got rid of 2 aging safeties, re-signed a guy they obviously feel can do the job at one of the spots, and likely will draft one or two as well.

You said "They replaced several positions with backups".

No, they did not.

D-line-- All starters returning, plus Von Miller back to 100% (hopefully)

LBs--- All starters returning

Corners--All starters returning

O-line--All starters returning except LG

RB-- All starters returning

QB---All starters returning


TE--All starters returning

WR--No starters returning, unless you count Shakir, who I guess started some in the slot. Samuel replaces Davis, so really Diggs is gone, and he did f-all anyways when it mattered.


What could you possibly be referring to, besides losing Diggs and 2 old ass safeties, one of which is probably going to retire anyways.
