Not sure if I like the Marner stuff but we will see either way.

To me, their only lack now is during training camp they post about 70 pics a day without posting the name of the players in the pictures. A pic of seven OL standing around wouldn't warrant such, but when its three or less guys, it helps to connect to the players. The roster is ever changing and people are constantly changing numbers. They did do this in the past and just quit one year. It really used to help me connect to players when I was younger.

I wouldnt be dunking one way or another at this point, as we know from past experience all it takes is one hit and thats a wrap so being tough or avoiding injuries isnt some crazy skill or talent. Hes going to get hurt at some point, all qbs do, we just hope its not a doozy when it happens.

The irony, Richardson was the most physically gifted specimen in the draft and scouts thought he could take NFL hits, now he is an injury prone QB. Bryce Young was the smallest QB and there were concerns how long he would last in the NFL. Now Bryce has been more durable than Richardson.

I think it shows no matter how talented you are you need those vital college games/reps. The NFL isnt a place to learn the actual game/position. You need reps upon reps against various levels of talent and the nfl aint it.

If Richardson can overcome the injuries, he'll still have to overcome being a bad NFL QB.

Ouch Richardson has plenty of talent, but availability has been an issue with him thus far. Apparently, it may continue to be one this coming season. That story drew this response... ...which hopefully doesn't jinx us Valid point, though...

It resulted in a conversation I didn't really expect

I’ll just come right out and say what we’re all thinking: that music is horrible

Based on how we looked on defense without him, Chatty has to be up there on the list

I must admit…I did laughed out loud ... Then again, I admit to being shallow

Sucks because he was a big part of why the Marty-Staal-Fast line was so elite defensively. Enjoy retirement Fast

Every time I see Sanders I think of Miles

I know. My point is, IF he ever becomes a good player and shines on a widely viewed national stage, his press is going to go viral. Right now, he's just a regional cult hero based on personality alone.

Agreed.

Agreed. Our fanbase, specifically the people who follow the team fairly closely, are more excited going into this season bc of the way we finished last year and the additions we made, but that hasn't filtered out beyond the fanbase for the most part. I think most outlets are going to have us finish 3rd in the division (some 2nd) with a legit chance to win the division but definitely seen as a dark horse. Which, objectively, I think is fair. So, definitely an improvement over last year, and we definitely are not being put in the same tier as teams like the Saints who are expected to bottom out. Still, for the most part, fans of other teams still see a poverty franchise with a meddlesome owner and a QB who's too small. I know bc I work in sales and talk to them everyday. So, I think your point is spot on. The team's performance on the field is the only thing that's going to change the narrative...

He's the only TE with actual receiving juice since Greg Olsen. We have become almost numb to the idea of drafting an actual TE that can be a difference maker as a franchise... Seriously, TE and S are probably the 2 positions where I feel like this franchise has historically overlooked for the most part. Sanders said he wants to be the next Olsen. Hope he does- having a dependable TE can make an offense so much more dynamic.

Very possible. But, I think TMac and XL both have much higher ceilings than Coker. Will they get there is the question.

That's the caveat that many of us are skimming over. And it's a big one. Most of that room is really young, and we've seen our share of early success in Carolina at the WR position that quickly faded into obscurity.

The power of Shedeur and Aaron.

He is my favorite pick from last draft. Cannot believe he made it to the 4rth

If XL ever gets a post game interview in a playoff game, he's going to become a superstar.

I mean...the lyrics check out.

We're definitely not relevant again yet. Im hopeful for the first time in a long time but it's kinda weird how many fans are acting like we've arrived. There's promise but we still have to go out there and prove it on the field.
