I don't know how people are still paying for them. Everyone I know sold at a loss or just walked away. I wouldn't even pay for parking if the tickets were free at this point.

Going back and reading this thread is interesting to say the least.

Wouldn't have been a bad play if the pick had been McConkey.

Ill trade Mahomes for Bryce straight up.

He's right. Tepper ain't the one out there dropping balls, or missing blocks, or putting up having comically bad drafts. He's the one responsible for hiring the people that have kept our scouting department that has been one of the worst at evaluating college talent in the NFL. He forced the transition to the 3-4 even though we've never fully committed to it and never been able to draft or sign the players to do it. He's the one that signed used car salesman Fat Fhule that hadn't even won a game against a ranked opponent. Then he signed a GM that was one of if not the worst GM in the history of the NFL, only to replace him with his assistant. Frank Reich hired and fired in 9 games. Multiple potential hires for HC turning down interviews. Changing QBs like underwear. Personal quest to trade for a sexual predator QB and would have if the contract didnt have to be 100% guaranteed. Terrible contracts Rock Hill debacle 2023 trade up to 1 and him and his wife drafting BY Worst defense in NFL history. Worst record in major league sports over the time frame of his ownership and the fans need to be patient and understanding of an 8 year and counting rebuild? There being any fans left is a goddamn miracle.

Must have been to tired from making videos for the hurry up.

It probably would be. Given that most 6th and 7th rounders aren't NFL game day material except on the Panthers, the pick might improve us slightly with a drafted player, but I'd like to see us actually be able to open up the field. I do think some of our offensive problem stem from defenses aren't afraid of Bryce's arm. They cover a short field and that makes life a lot easier for them. If it doesn't work though, unless we get rid of the scouting department and whatever drafting algorithm Dave is making us use, it won't really matter anyway.

Can't wait to see what we have in players until next year. Bite the bullet, send a late rounder for Jameis or Howell and let it fly.

Burns and Reddick were essentially the same player here, minus the Spiderman sack celebration.

I've been assured this is absolutely not the case because there are big linemen in college too.

Its bad but we're only 2 games in. Just accepting it and doing nothing sends a worse message IMO. We should make a move for a QB that we could at minimum have as legit camp competition next year so we can move on from Dalton.

There was nothing wrong with moving on with Ron and Marty. But who knew Tepper would hold a limbo contest and see just how low under that bar we could go. So he held tryouts.

I was never a WR or RB so I dont know the answer to this question, but could it be a speed on the ball thing? I remember Cam used to throw a rocket even on a short pass and guys had difficulty catching it because the pass was too hard. Bryce doesn't appear to throw as hard as most QBs to me, again, never played the position so I'm not sure. I've wondered if it doesn't feel right hitting the hands. Maybe too soft a pass and it doesn't snug up into the hands for a good grip like a harder pass would. Just a thought.

Suck at talent evaluation is an understatement. How our scouting department has a job is baffling. These guys must listen to Mel Kiper Jr. and all the other draft gurus. It's the only explanation for being wrong this often. Plus no one has a feel for the draft. We're always on the end of the run instead of the beginning, making panic picks or picks that make no sense from the beginning. We draft RAS scores instead of guys to fit a system. Then it's just throw poo at the wall.and see what sticks. Everyone jokes about being better than the Panthers' GM, but for the last 5 years, that's been a low bar to step over. I want to be wrong about the guys we draft and how we go about FA, but since Tepper got this team, it seems like all of us Huddlers are right about how wrong our FO, scouts and coaching are way to fugging much.

I have zero faith in Dan, Dave and Dave. Terrible owner and his wife who can't keep their noses out of football operations, Dan who is a leftover from one of the worst GMs in NFL history, and DC who is a rah rah football coach with a blah vanilla offense that looks like he's in completely over his head. My expectations before the season was 3-4 wins. After the 1st couple games, maybe 1-2 if we get lucky. 3 if Tampa has locked up the NFCS and isn't playing for playoff position and decides to fug us over in our draft position.

No. But his teammates at Alabama were superior to virtually every other team they faced. Alabama had 10 of the 62 SEC players drafted in 23. Alabama's talent pool was always better which means his linemen were having a much easier time opening those throwing lanes that he needs because they were playing against lesser competition. The NFL isn't that way and the competition level is much closer, so his line doesn't dominate the way they did in college. It's not 5 star vs 2 and 3 star anymore.

I am too. Frank became completely disinterested in the HC job after the draft.

But a serious question is, does he not see a guy come open because he misses seeing them on the field, which happens to every QB, or, is his vision blocked by the wide bodies in front of him instead of the helmets other QBs experience? For instance missing a wide open Chuba. Did he not see him or could he literally not see him? I tend to think the latter is a far bigger problem than we're being led to believe it is.

Young cost a 9, 1 and a proven WR1 plus the 2nds. The 9ers weren't in a position that missing on that pick was going to be devastating because they still had Jimmy G. He was a bust pick, but not as big IMO because the expectations weren't as big and immediate.

I got tree fiddy

4th quarter comeback!

Falcons aren't going to go prevent when they're up on us. They'll keep grinding until we're roadkill and embarrass us at home. Them 52 Us 3

His eye level is probably 5'5" to 5"6 being generous looking at the backs of guys whose shoulders are 5'8 to 5'10. It's a wide wall he can't see through unless there's a lane. Helmets are easier to see around than a 320 lb lineman's shoulders.

You dont even have to find a diamond in the rough. You just draft the pro bowl center over the RB with a torn ACL, and use Maye and BC as starters or, like you said, cap friendly FA guards. Probably could have gotten a couple in the draft with the 2 5ths we used to trade up for Brooks too.
