    100% did.
    Maye is just a different tier of player than CJ.
    CJ is an average to below average athlete.
    Maye is bigger, stronger, much faster, quicker, stronger arm, far more accurate and got to the Super Bowl in his second year with a team no one expected to be better than 3rd in their division.

    And he was dogshit most of the playoffs. We will see how good Maye is when he has the schedule they have next season.

    Yet, in your mind CJ played well lol.
    What a ****ing clown you are.
    You are so ridiculously biased (so obvious why) it’s crazy.

    I've yet to see a signing under Nicky that makes me get excited about THE POSSIBILITY of going to the Super Bowl... My problem is we all know we're gonna win 10-12 games a year during this window. I'd like to see Ol Nicky make a signing that realistically projects us to be in that coveted 13-15 win range... Its obvious that we need Home field advantage beyond the divisional round.. To me that sentiment starts with making a borderline splash signing in the 1st damn minutes of FA..

    I almost feel like the more glaring the need is, the more likely Caserío is going to shy away from trying to address it directly. He seemingly finds more satisfaction and grades himself on how closely he followed the plan as opposed to if he made the team better.

    In terms of urgently addressing needs, I've loved Nick Caserio's offseason. I wish they had taken this approach *last* year, a decision I worry will haunt this franchise for years. But! That's in the past. We'll move on.

    They very clearly crafted a plan, and you can see that plan reflected in the moves they've made:

    - they wanted the offense to get *tougher*, and they have found guys who certainly fit that standard. Montgomery, Smith, Teller and bringing back Ingram signal a clear desire for the trenches of this offense to be SWARM-y. And with Brown back, they return a veteran who has a high standard and can mentor what I hope will be at least one highly-drafted rookie OL, as well as Ersery. We'll see if it all comes together - but, on paper, this is a much better offensive line than last season.

    - I love that Ryans wasn't satisfied with the defense - he saw a glaring weakness (safety) and, again: attacked it with Blakenship. They also brought back integral pieces along the front and found some intriguing depth.

    - they will enter the draft with needs - but no glaring needs. I'd love a higher-end offensive linemen and defensive tackle among their first 3 picks; they need more CB depth; and I wouldn't sleep on WR or TE. The key component is that they're not desperate for rookies expected to walk in and immediately start. That wasn't the case last year.

    I would say that TE and RB are still glaring needs as well as LB. Remember how bad the defense looked with Azizz out?
