And there's no guarantee some other team's reject is going to be our prize. We've tried that a few times. I'd sooner bet on a draft pick than a veteran having a resurgence in Carolina at this point. And yeah I think a big veteran QB signing as if this is a win now roster would be shortsighted

Cam looked like a #1 pick from day one. Literally broke the record for passing yards in a NFL debut and never got the leeway these QBs get now. The narrative to this day is that he wasn't a good passer. Don't know what you got till it's gone...

It’s the media giving him the treatment Cam deserved for me. FOH using drops and college pedigree as excuses now.

Let him play out the year. If he’s as bad as feared we’ll have a top pick to get the next guy. The only advantage in benching him early is to try and preserve his trade stock, but at this point I doubt we’re getting much unless he’s traded after some promising performances

Not saying I’d rather have Russ than Bryce bro I don’t even believe he would have a won out in camp. Point is if Canales didn’t even consider him I doubt Young competing was ever on the table

Red flag went up for me when Canales publically passed on Russell Wilson. What better way to push Bryce than the SB veteran who put this coach on the map, has a comparative style of play, and believes he's still got it. He probably would have rejected having to fight for a starting role but the fact that Canales didn't even consider his guy tells me there was an order from up top to clear the runway for Young.

Was typing up basically this when you replied. Without his playmaking from college Young is just Teddy Bridgewater but shorter.

We’re past the talk and hypotheticals with Bryce. If he needs a perfect game from his receivers to not put up a stinker he’s not franchise starter material.

or maybe the hired Football People™ aren't any good

Not concerned about Legette being country. It's that I don't see any hunger out of him. He's been giving a golden opportunity to make a name for himself here and favorable press despite not producing. After last year's perfomance and the team bringing in a rookie over him I'd hope he come out with something to prove and I'm not seeing it. He seems more passionate about ranching and frankly he's not talented enough to treat the NFL like it's just a dayjob.

The cruel irony of Bryce is that game manager is his ceiling

The noodle arm plays right into XL's supposed jumpball speciality and its why he was brought here. If he has butterfingers with Bryce's floaters I don't know how more zip on the ball would help. Really wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt but Tetairoa being a 1-on-1 threat out the gate makes it difficult. Two different levels of prospects, I know, but if XL can't bring win those more often than not he's useless to us. Ginn and Benjamin had special traits that we stomached the drops for.

"We need some dogs" said the man with the school counselor coach and devout therapist son QB

Mustard BBQ is only good on chicken y'all can keep it otherwise

Yep. He was saying no longer making NFL money was humbling for him as a man/father not that he's "struggling"

the coach was picked by the GM who is a fugging linebacker lmao

Idk why y'all do this to yourselves. Preseason games are about as indicative as a day of training camp, maybe less considering both sides are just throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks

My takeway is pray Derrick Brown and Jaycee Horn stay healthy

Last year they narrowed it to players who missed time so there should be less QBs moving forward.

Full clip. Good vibes, Kay knows us better than most national media.

Akorn makes some automatic Kamados with temp control that I can't bring myself to pull the trigger on. I'd probably use it 10x as often but all the fun for me is taming the fire. Maybe if I ever have the space for a full outdoor pit setup.

PSL in this economy is crazy but I'm happy for you

Really looking forward to him and Jaycee developing together on some iron sharpens iron. They both excel where the other one needs work. Could be a great pairing for them/us.

We'll see how it translates to the field but Canales already has Rhule and Reich beat on the team culture front. Low bar, to be fair.
