Who Sucks and Who Doesn’t Suck - End of Season Grades

And Gordon went from doesn’t suck in the beginning of the season to kinda sucks over the last several games. I’d say Wroght doesn’t suck except for his fumbling issues

Ollie hasn’t done much for the 2nd half of the year except get dropped in the backfield on short yardage plays. Wright - could be bias due to yesterday - not crazy about his vision through the line though. I think he’s more of a backup / spot duty player.

I wouldn’t judge any young player on this roster without a different coaching staff. This staff has no clue what to do in any facet of the game. They constantly set players up for failure.

Agree but I think the fatsos on the DL we picked (all 3) need to lose weight.

They don’t need to lose weight, they need coaches that know what they are doing. Weaver’s blitz scheme is nonexistent as are his stunts. We blitzed like 7 on one play and didn’t even get close to Maye. Watch other teams around the nfl get pressure with creative rushes and stunts without even sending a ton of pressure meanwhile weaver can’t get pressure whether he sends 4 or 7.

Well, w a dismal showing in the 3rd quarter (again), got nothing better to do than reflect on a year of suckery. Since we sucked this season, it’s fitting that key players be graded on a scale of “suckiness” from “Totally Sucks” to “Doesn’t Suck at All”. Think of it like Totally Sucks is an “F” and Doesn’t Suck at All is an “A”. Here goes:

QB
1. Tua - Totally Sucks; moving on.
2. Quinn Ewers - Does Not Suck. Processes the field fast and has some moxie. Will be in the QB1 conversation next year.
3. Zach Wilson - Kinda Sucks. Didn’t play this year but we know.

RB
1. Achane - Doesn’t Suck at All. Great player and MVP.
2. Jaylen Wright - Kinda Sucks. Vision ain’t great nor is ball security. Fine backup player.
3. Ollie Gordon - Kinda Sucks. Overhyped player who gets dropped on short yardage for losses more than he makes it.

OL
1. Patrick Paul - Doesn’t Suck. Building block.
2. Johnah Savienaauan - Totally Sucks. Horrible rookie year and does not deserve to be playing. However, needs the reps because we traded up for this guy / can develop into Not Sucking.
3. A’Aron Brewer - Does Not Suck. Most athletic C we’ve had since Dwight Stephenson.
4. Daniel Brunskill - Does Not Suck. Made the season interesting for us.
5. Everyone else - Sucks.

WR
1. Waddle - Doesn’t Suck. Good player.
2. ???

TE
1. Greg Dulcich - Doesn’t Suck. Good find. Physical player who can catch and get up field.

DL
1. Zach Sieler - Does Not Suck. Came on strong 2nd half of the year. Nice FG block today.
2. Kenneth Grant, Jordan Phillips, Zeke Biggers - Kinda Suck. All of them. Fat ****s who can’t get to the QB. Would be ok if they made up for it in the run game. Just not good enough but can develop - and lose some weight, boys.

Edge
1. Bradley Chubb - Does Not Suck. Might not be the smartest player on the team but high effort and makes plays here and there.
2. Chop Robinson - Kinda Sucked this year.

LB
1. Jordan Brooks - Doesn’t Not Suck at All. MVP of the defense. Plays hurt. Racks up tackles and big stops. Throwback football player. Need more tough guys like him.

DB
1. Minkah - Doesn’t Suck at All! MVP of the secondary this year.
2. R Douglass - Doesn’t Suck at All. Terrific year for him - bring him back for ‘26.

ST
1. Riley Patterson - Doesn’t Suck. Hit almost everything this season. Way to make the most of your shot.
2. Jake Bailey - Doesn’t Suck.

This season sucked from week 1 thanks to a horribly mismanaged roster with guys being signed at the end of the summer, out of retirement, contract extensions that made no sense etc. Good riddance to the 2025 campaign. And good riddance to Chris Grier - who absolutely, positively SUCKED at his job and has set the franchise up to Suck for quite some time.

See you all for another offseason.

I see no need for "suck" to be a part of each evaluation. E.g., "Achane- Doesn’t Suck at All. Great player and MVP." why nor just "Achane - Great player and MVP"
I'll not list all players, but grading any RB plating behind that OL with Mcd as OC isn't quite fair.
waddle is a good #2,
Grading secondary when pass rush is abysmal isn't quite fair, Not saying any are All Pro, but expecting good coverage when the QB has 10 minutes isn't the same as secondary with a top pass rush.
when all rookie DLmen suck, that may partly be weaver and position coaches. All improved during the season in spite of weaver.
ewers? I'm cautiously optimist. Played well for a rookie until 2H of NE game. And that's without TH, Waddle, Achane, and WITH Mcd.
Other than those observations, don't disagree much.
Job 1 for next GM = address cap
 
Players that are top 5 in the NFL.

RB Achane
LB Brooks
C Brewer

Players that are good enough to keep

CB Douglas
DL Sieler
FS Fitzpatrick
OT Paul
WR Waddle
TE Dulcich
TE Waller
LB Chubb
K Parkinson
P Bailey
LB Dodson

Players that could develop and are worth keeping

QB Ewers
OG Brunskill
DT Grant
DT Biggers
DT Phillips

Rest of them are injured or bad, so they dont make the cut.

Watching him tiptoe around after he got abused is infuriating. Almost vomit-inducing.

People want to blame coaching for his struggles, but he either doesn't want to, or can't move his feet.
 
I am not sure on this but I was pretty disappointed in some players getting playing time and not being good.

Malik Washington basically got like 10 games as WR2 and was not even remotely a WR more like a WR 4/5

Westbrook was a terrible signing that we all gloated in the off season

Judon yikes

Just really disappointed by some of the players I really thought Malik would be better…

I like that list, but I'll add some more I'll call 'keep until an upgrade is found' and 'see how they do after injury.' I doubt a new GM/HC will want to replace 30 guys in one off-season

Just sarcasm. “DOESNT SUCK AT ALL” = “Great”. It’s a different scale. The suck-o-meter.

I didn’t think Malik would be anything more than a 4/5 after watching him last year. Nothing about him is special - nice young player and all but nothing to write home about.
