the problem is...we ARE ready to hand out a covid mulligan to babers.

and its not like theres an abundance of optimism.

on a simple level...teams torched us through the air, and we just sent 3/4s of that secondary to the NFL.

babers gets no mulligan from me.

last year was inexcusable in year 5.

he shouldve had a ton of backups just chomping at the bit to get PT, that was basically no where to be found.

the only mulligan i will give is to Tommy & the WRs.  i know its vogue to shlit on Tommy, and ive done some myself, but if i just look back at the stats and see 213-337 (63%) 2360 19-5 as a painfully overmatched sophomore, then i can find optimism and a [B][I]potential[/I][/B] mulligan. sadly, he wont have much time to earn it, which is a good thing IMO. i hope Shrader is pressing him hard.

mulligans can go to offensive skill position players who need an OL to work effectively. none will be given at RB because Tucker took advantage of the situation and should press for time this year. and at WR, damn if we are giving Taj a mulligan then he should have a Devonte Smith type year with improved OL and QB play.

so like others have said, its all on the OL and Tommy.

and starting 4-0 while putting up close to 30 every game is what i want to see. hell, i think they need 35+ just to beat Ohio.

im not interested in seeing Shrader develop either. if he comes in, its the same bar...30 every game.

otherwise its just more of the same babers blabbering bullshit of 'Orange is the new Cant Score'.
