Why do you guys insist on always talking about the biggest, most glaring problem on the team

It's the most important and impactful position and it's not close. And on top of being bad, Young makes the O boring. PJ Walker bad would lead to more convos. Because the play would be more entertaining and there would be zero concern the horrific nature of the QB spot could extend beyond this year (and that is why the convo stays on Bryce because the threat remains).

Year 3 of this top paid offensive line in the nfl, two first round wrs, very good running back, whole different coaching staff imagine having these arguments about Jimmy Clausen

Bryce has 1 anomaly game to his career 33 game career. That's it. I think if you look at his deep throws paired w/ Canales and omit that one game that just makes zero sense.... Bryce is like 5 for 24 when going 20+ yards w/ 3 INTs. And keep in mind, prior to that week 18 game folks were claiming he was the best deep passer in the league lol because of how PFF chooses to reward a contested ball.

I think the majority did. I don't know how the Jags deluded themselves. Might've been a bit of "hometown kid" bias at play with him being a Florida kid (albeit Miami area) but having gotten his collegiate start at Jacksonville State .

These posts read like a guy in a doomed marriage who gets upset one trip to McDonald’s without a fight didn’t save everything.

Doesn't it get tired just arguing the same point over and over no matter what's happening? It was posted as a way to bash Bryce, someone says all the offenses that run very often are near the bottom. Then it erupts in to the same people making comment after comment about how bad bryce is. There is no conversation, there is no dialogue, there's no football talk that doesnt just devolve in to how bad Bryce is. There are other conversations about the team that could be had.

The Texans and Chiefs will still find a way to win their divisions.

On NFL Power Rankings we have moved up from last place to the 21slot we jumped 8 points the Saints are in last place now Rank 21 8 Carolina Panthers 1-2 Three of the Panthers’ seven victories with Bryce Young starting at quarterback have come against Atlanta. He’s 3-1 against the Falcons and 4-25 against the rest of the league, which is strange, but no one is going to sneeze at a 30-zip whooping after the uninspired 0-2 start. In the first 96 minutes of the season, the Panthers were outscored 53-13. Since then, it has been a 49-0 edge for Carolina. They certainly feel like a more confident operation right now, especially defensively. There are still some warts that could come out against stronger teams, but this suddenly doesn’t look close to the worst defense in the league. Chau Smith-Wade had a pick-six, Mike Jackson added a pick and Christian Rozeboom and A’Shawn Robinson were highly disruptive. This might not be the 1985 Bears, but the Panthers’ no-name defense has come alive. NFL Power Rankings, Week 4: Lions and Chargers vault into top five, while Colts crack top 10

The red flag with the black square centered is the international storm warning flag. A single flag indicates a storm warning, two flags stacked is a hurricane warning. In my opinion, the best logo the Canes ever had.

I am not. Texans haven't started very strong the last couple of years. 0-2 Ryans first year and 2-1 the second year albeit against some bad teams. This year, the started off with three potential playoff teams.

it would have leaked I would have guessed just like everything else

How do you know we didn't call?

we should have tried

This should surprise no one.

Week 1 has always been full of both false positives and false negatives And that was with 4 preseason games. I try and remember to hold off the judgement on the team as a whole until we hit week three. And it is a long season.

Yep, I always said the best way to use him in the NFL is as a full time CB, and then get 8-12 offensive snaps a game. Half those snaps he's out there as a decoy so the defense doesn't know where the ball is going every time he's on the field, the other have are play calls with him as the first read, and likely trying to get it into his hands quickly to let him make plays with his athleticism. That also would mean he needs less practice time on offense too, as he's not trying to get his routes/timing down with the QB as he'd be running a bunch of quick hitter routes or screens to get it in his hands. How NFL GM's didn't see this is beyond me (or maybe some did and it's why the Browns traded the pick and it was just the Jags who were dumb enough to think he'd be able to play both ways full time at an elite level.

Also reading this thread again and seeing that was a clear WoahCam alt, it really makes me wish he was still around to hear his takes on how "his guys" are doing this year. Shedeur can't beat out Gabriel for the #2 job behind old man Flacco, Hunter is struggling on offense and doesn't have a clear role, while T-Mac is proving to be exactly who I said he was and the guy WoahCam was very much down on for a while until he said he was coming around on him, lol

Yeah, it really seems like they made that move legitimately expecting him to be a two way player which is just crazy. You just can't be a two way player in the modern NFL. The obvious approach with Hunter was to have him focus on being a CB first and basically motivate him by telling him that the better you play on defense and the more comfortable you are on the field there, the more comfortable we're going to be putting more on your plate by carving out a bigger piece for you on offense but likely always limiting that to maybe 10-12 snaps a game at most on offense. Starting him out primarily at WR was just insane. At least they quickly saw that and adjusted but they really blew it with the off-season/preseason approach and it's causing Hunter to play catch up.

Yeah, Moehrig in likely passing situations as a LB/DB hybrid role seems like a better approach then Rozeboom/Wallace.

This thread was a fun re-read, and not to toot my own horn, but I'd say I was pretty spot on with the things I was saying about both T-Mac and Hunter, like eerily so. I really wish I had kept a bunch of screenshots/links to all the arguments I got into with people over the last 2 years over T-Mac, would just be fun to look back on them and laugh. To your post though, it's wild that any NFL GM couldn't see this being the case as 90% of fans out there could see it from a mile away, it really was just common sense, you can't be a full time 2 way player in the NFL today, and he's a better CB than WR, always was. The fact that they traded a future 1st and a 2nd in that draft to move up to take a CB and part time WR is beyond comical, and even if he ends up a great player, is more than likely going to be looked back on as a terrible trade by them. Two 1st's and a 2nd to take a CB is just asinine, I'm not sure there has ever been a CB who was worth that, even the peak years of Revis or someone like Asomugha weren't worth that, let alone a full career of play.

This. The Micah Parsons situation is an anomaly and it takes a moron with a gigantic ego like Jerry Jones to pull it off. The vast majority of these superstar/organization showdowns end up with a massive extension getting inked after a bunch of talking and posturing during the negotiation process with everyone trying to get the best deal from their perspective that they can and then everyone making up in the end - basically the Lamar contract situation. That's the normal process of how those situations play out and why everyone just assumed the Parsons situation would follow the same path but then Jerruh gonna Jerruh. LOL

We run a fair amount of big nickel under Evero, so we can very easily play 3 safeties between Moehrig, Ransom, and Richardson. Honestly, I would rather that and have 1 less LB on the field between Roseboom/Wallace. I thought Moehrig played a good game against ATL and don't really understand why his tackling grade is so high and his run defense grade is so low for PFF. I don't recall him having a lot of plays where he took bad angles or something similar on run plays (things that I assume would lower run defense grades).

Don't you dare pour cold water on hot takes! Now we can't see anything for the steam!? Expecting logic from the Huddle! Ha!

If only the Panthers were a top-12 offense during the first three weeks like the Dolphins and Giants. Maybe the team would have as many wins as those other two do. Then there's such a long way to go before catching up with the Cowboys and Bears' win totals. Wait a sec......
