That tends to happen when you have been on this forum longer than a couple of months. @Mr. Scothsa been on this forum from the inception. That's nearly 20 years ago.

I said early on in the draft process that I believed it was between Young and Stroud but my desire was Richardson. Supposably, we have QB minds all over the place and Richardson would have fit in well with them while learning the position. After 2 Weeks IMO Richardson looks the best out of all three. I'm not unhitching my wagon from Young as I think it is going to take some time for him to get comfortable and than he'll show why we drafted him #1. (Or at least I hope so)

I had hoped that our free agent signing would make a difference, but Chark and Thielen don't appear to be the answer. Young is being a rookie QB. And dealing with players that are old or a rookie or JAG. We don't have an elite WR that can help our rookie QB. Our TE is slightly above average, and it looks as if our stud FA running back is JAG too. We hitched our wagon to Young and we are going to have to let this play out. I do believe that with each week of experience Young is going to get better. Our defense is pretty damn good and we've been in the game going into the 4th quarter. Young will get better. Hopefully, by mid-season those late Quarter loses becomes wins. Sadly, this forum has gone downhill as everyone expects instant success when we draft a player. The first sign of our rookie QB not meeting their personal expectations they want to label him a bust. Just relax and watch him grow. I do believe he will be successful in this league. We have to give him time and we have to give him some elite weapons.

Pretty much. Honestly, I thought there were several moments where I said wow, we have a QB and then there were times i just said WTF was that. I believe he'll improve as each week goes on. His receivers need to help him some. That pass in the late fourth Qtr to Marshall is a TD if he didn't stop running.

Hutchinson destroys Taylor if he is line-up properly. Those refs allowed it the entire game. Not only that be he was always a half a step ahead of the snap. I can't see where that isn't a false start.

The NFL cannot allow this to continue to happen. I believe I heard last night the Tackle must be lined up equal to the back half of the center. Taylor was a full body behind the center and was continually jumping the snap. I don't see how they couldn't call that every play. This game would have never been that close had the refs called the false starts and illegal formation. This is the typical NFL favoritism of the Chiefs. If we had a player lining up like this and jumping the snap we would have had 15 penalties.

Maybe I am wrong but didn't Atlanta finish last in our division last year? While I agree every team can improve through the draft and free agency. We also improved. We addressed our most glaring need at QB. Considering we had an idiot running the team for 1/2 the season and we still won 7 games with QBs like Walker and Darnold. We have an Offensive Minded Head Coach, a great DC and we have solid players. Depth is a little issue but we have a good team. I predict that our true defense shows up on Sunday and our fan base blows up at how good they truly are. Bryce Young and Mingo turn into this years Burrow/Chase tandem. I think we go into Atlanta and Thump them good. 27-7 Black Cats.

For two first rounders I agree. For one it isn't impossible. I like Burns but if he thinks he deserves the same money as Bosa that he's crazy. Bosa was Defensive Player of the Year. Burns wasn't even in the conversation.

I think Burns wants to be here and I hope we can get him paid within a reasonable amount but as many have stated he's not on the Bosa level and paying him anything close to what he's getting is insane. I'm to the point where we trade him and get some value out of him even if it is just one first rounder and find a Rent-a-DE for one season. If we start overpaying players than we are going to put ourselves in a situation where we can't keep enough good players to be competitive.

I saw this game too and thought pretty much the same thing. This type of turf apparently is very similar to grass and the players seem to like it. Since, Tepper uses the field for other events other than Panther Football it would make sense to invest in this surface since he doesn't want grass.

NO has a consistent defense and Carr makes their offense dangerous. I think they win the division. Atlanta will be good but banking on a rookie running back to carry the load isn't a good idea. I think we have an overall better roster and we'll be 2nd in the division. I know we looked horrendous in the preseason but that was by design. I really think we are going to have a very exciting team. Remember Cam's first two seasons if we had a decent defense we would have made the playoffs our offense was pretty potent. Our rookie QB wasn't the problem. It was the D. This year if our Rookie plays well, we have a defense that can get us some wins.

I believe the defense is going to be top 10 as long as we an stay healthy. If we can stay in games with our D. We have a chance. Young, so they say, is a baller and if he can lead this team to a couple of late game wins we have a chance. My prediction, Young wins Rookie of the year and we steal a wildcard spot. Reich wins coach of the year too.

Fatten it up and you can have a pre-Panther game meal.

Agreed that the lawsuit isn't doing him any favors. I wouldn't have a problem with Wilks being a head coach for this team. However, it would have been imperative that the OWNER/GM hire a good offensive coordinator. I don't think there are many head coaches that do both. Billicheat is one of the few that do well with both sides of the ball. Of course, it didn't hurt him that he had a HOF QB for 20 years. If Wilks wasn't stuck with McAdoo as an OC he might have fared much better.

Wasn't he force to go with Rosen at QB? His situation was terrible and IMO he was fired only so they could hire Kingsbury the next super coach. LOL

I don't think it is wise to release Corral. You are talking a 3rd round pick that has only one year of legitimate work. Releasing him and hope he clears waivers is a huge gamble someone else doesn't pick him up. Young has yet to take a regular season snap and the concern of injury should not be taken lightly. While Young has shown the ability to maneuver the pocket it's still unknown if he will make it through an entire season without getting hurt. Dalton is at the end of his career. I think the biggest reason we keep Corral is he's young and has shown growth this preseason. With the addition of Ihmir Smith-Marsette I believe Wright is expendable. I also see us letting Sullivan and Thomas go and Ricci being the 3rd TE/FB. Plus Wright will possibly be easier to stash on the PS over Corral. All will depend on our front office signing players from other teams. We're 9th in the pecking order of waiver claims so it's a good chance we will get at least one or two of those coveted players.

I think Hubbard is going to be fine. I think it is in our best interest to see what he does when we actually game plan and use him properly. Catching the ball out of the backfield is something a player can improve on. We'll have to wait and see. Determining he's not what we need before we ever take a real snap just doesn't make sense.

Pretty much Crickets from the Nuthugging Trey Lance Fans. I told you he was garbage after game one last year. "But he played in a hurricane" NOT. The only reason SF held on to him one more year was to save a little face. That trade will go down in history as a Top 10 worst trades in the NFL.

I am still having a hard time believing that one of our strengths going into the season was our offensive line and somehow losing Corbett they all became trash. Their explanation seems far more logical than our line going to garbage in one offseason. Here's the question someone should ask. So, with all the experimenting you did during the preseason did we learn anything? Did any of the experiments work?

Same here

God forbid Young gets destroyed in a game. Dalton is too old and we are hitting the market for a scrub QB. Corral has the tools and he'll continue to grow even if he's 3rd QB. It makes zero sense to trade him or release him. Unless we get an insane offer.

IMO this helps having Corral around. Young size is and always will be a concern. There isn't a LB or DE in this league that isn't going to miss a shot at lighting him up because he a smaller QB. The Kirk Cousin comparison is a good one. I think given reps Corral is going to be a solid backup and possible start one day. Whether with the Panthers or someone else.

I think he would reconsider since currently he's unemployed. At the right price I think Hopkins would be a good fit for us. He's a veteran WR that would be great for Shenault as well as Mingo and TMJ.

That is one of my preseason predicitions. Young wins OROY.

WTF that's no improvement. Good God a second year QB should have at least 75% completion with 14 TDs and zero ints. What the hell.
