I don't really care about stats. Especially when the win and loss column is ugly. Look at Joe Burrow and the Bengals. He's basically playing like an MVP this year as a Quarterback and they're probably going to more than likely lose more games and not even be in the wildcard discussion. Would rather have Lawrence playing like Mahomes this year with an 8 - 1 record.

BTJ getting 1,000 yards would be nice, if it means this team wins a few more games in the process of course. If it's just like last Sunday though where we're down 30+ points and he's reaching out and making big grabs while giving his body up for abuse? No thanks. The goal for me this year? Keep the cornerstone pieces and players HEALTHY for 2025 and next summer's new installment and coaching change with a new culture being injected into the city again.

We're more than likely going to see Kirk and Etienne shipped off. All the more reason to keep guys like BTJ and Bigsby healthy. I would even throw Engram's name out there on the trading block with Strange emerging. Would rather see guys like Washington get more real time action this year at WR and Maason Smith at this point as a 2nd RD investment. Can't be any worse than what we're getting out of the starters in front of him.
