I remember Miller jumping out on the screen with a quick near-sack early on but yeah after that, I hardly noticed him. I think he showed enough to make it past the first cuts so I'm hoping to key in on him a little more in the next preseason game.

I have less a problem with mods adopting a negative outlook on the team and more an issue with mod(s) derailing threads into a 14-page back-and-forth petty spat, routinely hurling more personal attacks than virtually any other poster in here, admitting (or at least claiming) to "troll-post" unprovoked in order to trigger "Darnold fans", etc. Within the digital Huddle world, moderating is certainly a kind of "job" and so I would expect a level of professionalism, dignity, decorum, etc. from moderators. If you can't go 5 minutes without inserting some snarky comment or calling someone an idiot, then maybe moderating isn't for you. @CRA is an example of a good mod IMO who may have adopted what some could consider a "pessimistic" outlook of our QB situation, but upholds the higher standards of a mod well. He's level-headed, engages with dissenting opinions respectfully, has never devolved into personal attacks, doesn't get rattled or baited into petty squabbles, and is generally just a very patient dude. All important qualities that suit a mod well. I don't think mods should have to surrender the right to their opinions in exchange for their shiny moderator badge, I just think there's something disturbing about a mod being the biggest e-bully on the site. As the great and wise Melania said: Be Best.

What's more crazy and backwards to me is the flip side of that, where being positive about your overall outlook is routinely used as a pejorative here. Like, what?? One of us is doing "entertainment" wrong, and I don't think it's the positive group.

Every rookie flashed to varying degrees…it really was very encouraging. They all look like they belong in the NFL so far.

Now this is the true “realist” perspective…not the reactionary cringe that people try to pass as “realist”.

And we miss an entire year of evaluating whether he can actually be the answer at QB. That would be a terrible scenario.

You've completely lost me now.....were you not saying we could have had a chance at drafting Herbert (by improving our draft position) had we played Will Grier instead of Teddy Bridgewater? Even though Bridgewater was signed less than a month before Herbert was drafted? Why are we talking about Rhule vs. Rivera?

Your timeline seems to be a bit jacked up. We signed Teddy last year, during the same offseason that Herbert was drafted. Signing Teddy had zero impact on our 2020 draft position...that would have been the Kyle Allen season.

Maybe he thought he was playing soccer for a second?

The term "celebrity" just means famous person. Some of you seem to be treating the term as some value statement dependent upon whether their fame is deserved or not. This "celebrity" designation just seems to boil down to some arbitrary threshold of how much of the population needs to know who this person is to warrant a title of "celebrity". I think there can definitely be relatively "niche" celebrities who are famous within their respective circles. Whether this Nash Grier dude is a celebrity or not, it's hard to argue against top Social Media "influencers" as celebrities considering the insane level of views and engagement they get.

Technically, I think the law here stipulates that the age of consent drops to 14 only for immediate family members.

Uhh I'm getting the feeling that her jersey number and her age might not be too far off.

I don't know....people kept insisting, per our trusted inside source, that it was actually lameduck disgraced GM Hurney in his final year who was pulling all the strings and had forced Teddy upon poor neutered $60-million-man Rhule, cause he was so desperate to save his job. Ugh I just don't know what to believe anymore

You gotta make it at least a somewhat interesting bet, since 1-5 are pretty much a guarantee this season.

Pfft, you ain’t a true fan unless you parlay: Panthers win Super Bowl 56 + Jaycee Horn wins DROY + Brian Burns wins DPOY + Sam Darnold wins MVP + Rhule wins Coach of the Year + Greg Little wins Comeback Player of the Year

Reminds me of this commercial…and probably equally legit.

Moton has had neither and yet no one in this thread has seemed to object to him as an “elite” player. So perhaps it’s a bit more nuanced than that. I like how Huddlers on the one hand blast Teddy Bridgewater for his conservative style, how he routinely failed to even attempt to throw the ball in the end zone, has never had more than 15 TDs a season, etc. and then criticize DJ for his lack of TDs as if one has no bearing on the other. And then to previously criticize Teddy, they constantly talk about how DJ had to routinely adjust and contort his body to make miraculous catches and that’s the only reason Teddy even had respectable passing yardage. But when it comes to whether DJ is elite? Psh…nah none of that matters, only what that TD number says on the stat sheet. I truly don’t understand the selective nuance that is applied on the Huddle. There’s no rhyme or reason to it.

Cause this isn't about Cam...? There are more posts in here complaining about people talking about Cam, than there actually are posts talking about Cam lol.

A "stupid take" that a lot of people apparently agree with lol. If you see a criticism of you that is shared by several people, it would be wise to treat this as an opportunity for introspection. Instead, you choose to be dismissive and lash out. I'm just trying to help your character development for Season 16.

Dang…you anticipating that many serious injuries that we’ll need some backup carts?

Yeah I mean there was definitely a lot to hate about Marty and almost all of it justified. The annoying thing is that when essentially your entire personality and post history here is informed/defined solely by your hatred for Marty Hurney (and previously Ron Rivera), don't try to desperately present yourself as this bastion of objective enlightened thought who has transcended the feeble and pathetic emotional whims of mortals. Own that sh#%...be like "yeah I f@#%*(*@#&%ing despise Marty with all my being and as long as he is our GM, I will continue to predict that we will suck and every signing will bomb and every draft pick will bust". Hell, I can respect that much more than someone who thinks he's above the fray but is low-key probably one of the most emotional posters here. Anyways...this is WAY more Marty talk than this board deserves. Thank god we can close that chapter and move on. Well, never mind...this is the Huddle where we still dwell on drafts from like 9 years ago.

Season 15 of the Mr. Scot Anime is freaking wild...who could have seen this twist in his character arc. From criticizing every move of the FO (down to if the vibration frequencies in their breathing patterns were off by 1-2 Hz) to this, dare I say optimistic mentality of "let's all just STFU and trust the FO and see how this all plays out". WILD. Guess he really did despise Marty that much to have completely flipped his philosophy.

That wasn’t directed at you…I think you must have posted like 10 seconds before I did, cause I didn’t even see yours.

Dropped the one-armed interception…#bust

Well….he actually enjoyed watching his team win, even the Lions and WFT games. So you know he definitely isn’t a Huddler.
