I’m not moving anything. Ridley has only had 1 good year in his entire pro career, and it was 5 years ago when he was the #2 WR playing opposite Julio Jones at the tail end of Julio’s production in Atlanta.Okay buddy. You’re moving the goal posts and using a total of 5 games as your example of something completely different, but okay
A 1,000 yard season used to be considered a solid season before they started adding tons of extra games to the season and the game skewed so heavily in favor of passing. Ridley had 1,016 yards in a 17-game season. That is 59.76 yards per game. If your WR1 is giving you under 60 yards per game, your offense is going to look a lot like the Titans. A 1,000 yard season is not a WR1 in the modern NFL. It isn’t even a particularly good WR2.He just had a 1000 yard season

Not saying I necessarily disagree, as I wanted to avoid Levis altogether, but the 2024 draft wasn't considered a super heavy QB draft in April of 2023.
Obviously we knew it was going to have 2 legit No. 1 overall type of talents in Williams and Maye. But beyond that it was fuzzy. Penix and Daniels weren't considered likely 1st round picks in April of 2023 (especially Daniels). Bo Nix was considered a late first/early 2nd at best. McCarthy was considered a likely 1st rounder, but he certainly wasn't considered an elite QB prospect. So it was basically Williams and Drake clearly at the top, then a tier down to McCarthy, and then a steep drop off after that.
The plan really fell apart on draft day. We already had a trade in place with AZ to move up to get Stroud if he fell to number 3, but the Texans ruined that plan.
Correct but once Levis fell out of the 1st round, we were bidding against ourselves for him..... Like Levis falling to 2nd round to rolling dice on Tanny with expiring deal and the Malik Expirement would have been better than the crop of QB's expected for 2024 at that time. Either we bounce back and go back to playoffs with core of the team or we finish bottom in the league with a lot of cap space, bulk of starters on rookie deals on offense and top 5 pick.... Really you are choosing to see if Levis can take reigns and turn around franchise or just taking everyone on expiring deals and "blowing up the roster" for a year. I will say that I was very high on the likes of Williams, Maye, McCarthy... As you said Daniels and Penix were somewhat surprises, but usually that happens to 1 or 2 guys every year I feel
Agreed. At least we didn't waste a 1st on him. But at the very least it's a knock on Ran for jumping up to get a QB that every team had already passed on.
