You wanna come at me again, bro? Come on.

To me, this seems like they feel they aren't going to be competitive. I can't help but go back to Bryce. Good guy, but he doesn't inspire people to give it their all. He isn't a "leader" that people look to. There is no Smith, Delhomme, Kuechly, Cam, etc. coming in that door. It has to be Bryce, but biologically speaking, how often is the shortest man in the room going to command the kind of respect that will drive people? It just isn't. That isn't how we are wired. That isn't how any living animal on Earth today is wired. I just follow the science guys.

Vick's issue with Reid was that he couldn't take a hit, and he wouldn't go down. Otherwise he was pretty good much of the time. Mahomes has a system that works. Mahomes doesn't become Mahomes elsewhere because not everyone can extract 125% of the ability of a specific player like Reid can. Kevin O'Connell is beginning to look like he has that ability as well but I'll need to see how he does with his Redshirt Freshman. I also wonder how much of their playoff issue last year was related to the offense as a whole and not just Darnold. Fans don't really dive into the "why" things happen, they just see the what and complain about it.

There is a name for this but I can't put it on the forum.

Someone named BRad Idzik. Sounds like a guy who should work in the media room, and effectively does so with Canales running the offense, I guess. I like Canales and I'd like to keep him after Bryce. I still want Sanders. Dude is sitting there in the 4th and 5th round and we say NOPE, WE HAVE BRYCCCEEEE YOUNGGGGG. And then we draft a receiver when you have Tyler Warren sitting right there staring you in the face. A guy who can do most of what Tet can do, and play tight end.

And then we pass on Warren, a true blue chip guy. He may not do much until Indianapolis gets a quarterback but he's as close to Kelci for not being Kelci that I've seen.

I'll say this until it's pointless to say, but we should have taken Tyler Warren in the draft. Receivers are a dime a dozen. TE's like Warren come around every five years or less. He's a generational talent, and can effectively play multiple positions on offense. Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb. Everyone saying "but we have Sanders".

Jones is Sam Darnold? If Sam Darnold were here, he would be starting over Bryce. Bryce and Jones would be a competition. From when Rhule got fired to now, Darnold has looked like a first round QB. Made a mistake by letting him go and trading up for Bryce. Before you say anything about the Vikings, I said this same thing in 2023.

Some QB's are deaf. Whispering just makes it even harder for them to progress.

That's fine. He just looks like a pure running back. Dowdle can do everything Chubba can do, and he's got some hands on him, which I'm sure you'd love to catch if you don't keep my mom's name outcha mouth.

Well, we signed Chubba to $50 million and I'm of the opinion that Etienne is the best running back in the room.

I don’t remember the game well but I remember the result because it was all over ESPN. App State had a chance to be that team but lost to No. 9 Tennessee when Josh Dobbs fumbled into the end zone during OT and it was recovered by Tennessee. Then App had Penn State dead to rights in 2018, up 38-31 with 30 seconds left, when KJ Hamler returned a kick off past the 50. Penn State scored not long later. The next year App beat UNC and USC. Then in 2021 falling to Miami, in Miami by two points. 2022 beating No. 5 Texas A&M. That’s a wild list but App never got the same opportunity as Boise while on that rise. Anyway, feeling old.

Two true Super Processors that I know of were Andrew Luck and Luke Kuechly. I don’t think even Manning was to Luck’s level. Let’s remember another thing, Tom Brady took Hogan, Amendola, Edelnut, and Gronkowski to a Super Bowl. Made it look like it was 1947 out there. I don’t know if he was a super processor but he was like a coach on the field.

I’m late, by Thornton looks like an old Seattle DB. He’s going to be a problem for the NFL. Won’t get the recognition he deserves from anyone but PFF but he’s going to have a great year. Calling it now. When Horn inevitably misses 10 games, Thornton going to come in and make Horn a trade asset.

At this point, I think Bryce must have a fragile ego. The Patriots always drafted a QB, even when their guy was Tom Brady. The Panthers were worried about bringing in any perception of competition. Now right a wrong and send a fourth and Jack Plummer for Sanders.

Tampa’s offense is one of, if not the most talented in the league from top to bottom. They still rely on streaky Baker but come on man, 48-14 during our “reclamation” and you expect the Panthers to be Trey Hendrickson away from competing with them? They are the best run team in the South and it’s not even particularly close. The Saints, when they get a QB with Moore worry me as well. As an aside, I feel very old. I went to the 2006 FCS National Championship Game where App State was taking on UMass, who was QB’s by Liam Cohen. The next year I went to the National Championship Game where App State took on Delaware, quarterbacked by Pitt transfer, Joe Flacco. I believe Kellen Moore was from around this same period of time at Boise State. Wild.

Can we have him in place as the starter? Or trade for Sanders? I think Sanders has a lot of potential if he can sit for a year, and with his work ethic, a year in an NFL building is all I think he will need.

Dude, what would Canales look like with Caleb Williams, Tyson Bagent, DJ Moore, Egbuka (or the other OSU receiver), Luther Burden, Loveland, their offensive line to include Thuney, etc. what should have been telling to us, as fans, is when Ben Johnson turned the Carolina job down. If Bryce was such a progeny, he would have jumped at the opportunity to come here like he did to go to Chicago.

The Bengals trading him all but secured their 4th place finish in the AFC North.

Against Tampa? No.

Trade for Sanders. At least call. The worst they can say is no. I’m guessing some egos are too fragile for that though.

I like Sellers but Richardson is giving me some pause on that. May watch Sellers more this year to see if he is reading coverage or just shooting from the hip. I’d also like to find some of the more experienced college QB’s coming out that may have a lot of question marks. As of late, those are the guys. One of those was Bo Nix, who I was on record saying we should have considered drafting. The other is now Jaxson Dart.

Have had collapsed lung, with severe edema, from car crash. Can confirm, not being able to breathe and blacking out, waking up five days later, is very serious and you think you’re dying.

I don’t think Canales is the issue. I give him four years. I also give Dan four years. Bryce and Evero? Good bye.

lol maybe so
