He also lambasted the Hornets for drafting LaMelo Ball. He's one of the dumbest people in the world.

To tell the truth, the only thing I'm worried about is that injury bug we can seem to get away from.

To be fair, we had impossibly good luck in terms of OL injury luck last year. Aside from that last game where Corbett tore his ACL, up until that point our starting OL didn't miss a SINGLE SNAP. That's unbelievably good luck and very improbable to be replicated. Hope guys like Zavala, Mays are ready to be called on if needed. Also, all the poo he got two years ago, Cam Erving is a solid reserve swing tackle.

For everyone giving D Brown crap, I think he can be an even better version of Vita Vea. The dude is completely lock down in The run game and is still developing past rush moves. I think people need to realize how difficult it is to create pressure as an interior d lineman when the online can double or have a RB help out easily 

That’s insane.

He would not have been there in round 2. 

I’m aware, I simply said it’s where I valued him. We always knew he was a DL that is a nonfactor in the pass game. It’s hard for me to value that in the first round.

I wanted Lamb or Wirfs the night of that draft.

We should just draft another tackle to replace in next years draft and solve that problem.

Not a bad idea at all

Exactly how much do you think he is going to sign for? Personally I think the idea of $15m is laughable. 

It's pointless to talk about right now, we need to see how he plays this season. Again, the new coaches have spoken very highly of him so maybe this is his true breakout season. Right now I'd offer him around 12M AAV and if he thinks he can find more elsewhere let him go find out. All I know is I'm firm in my belief that so far we have overrated him because of where he was drafted. We're a better team because of him, but he's far from irreplaceable.

According to this he was middle of the pack for being double teamed.

 

I have no agenda. I think he's a fine player.  I just like to know numbers

We’re trying to act like he’s someone that he isn’t solely because of draft positioning. Had we taken him in like Round 2 (where I had him graded) no one is acting like we have a potentially 15-20m/per year player on our hands.

Can't help but wonder how many of the folks whining about Brown's sack total have forgotten the old DT addage: "Two on me, someone's free."

Fairly important to consider, especially given how Derrick Brown was one of the most often double-teamed defensive linemen in the league the last couple of seasons.

Dexter Lawrence is doubled all the time and makes it happen. I’m not saying Brown isn’t good I’m just saying he is not a premium talent. Donald is doubled all the time and makes it happen also.

The people talking about the number of sacks: did you know he's a DT, not a DE? 

Quinnen Williams is a DT, as is Jeffrey Simmons, as is Daron Payne, as is Dexter Lawrence, as is Javon Hargrave, etc. All have track records of producing 7-8 sacks per year, again, that is more than Brown has collected for his entire career. I understand Brown's strengths are against the run, but in the modern NFL the value on that is limited. Hell, look at we are paying Shy Tuttle to do that.

Any DL that isn't rushing the QB isn't worth anywhere near $20m/year. The 12-15 range? Sure we can talk. Apparently this staff loves DB so maybe an actual breakout year is on the way, but this is a bad take. The premier DT's get to the passer.

Williams had twice the number of sacks that Brown did last year... for his entire career. Q dub is galaxies away from 95

First few rows of the upper deck aren't nosebleeds at all. I actually prefer the upper deck, better view of the whole field and it has more of a working class feel which makes it rowdier up there lmao. I'd almost suggest two or three rows up though. Pending on how old your grandson is, I swear I feel like some of the first few rows might have some sort of gate or barrier that I could see it being difficult to see over if you're super short. Maybe I'm dreaming this my PSL's are on row 23 so idk.

Yeah, people forget but Mahomes really wasn't considered all that hot of a prospect coming out of college. Intriguing talent but the Texas Tech air raid offense kinda scared folks. Those types of offenses just hadn't been producing successful NFL QBs historically.

If any of y'all followed MarxistPanther on twitter back in the day I specifically remember him saying Mahomes was the best QB he had ever scouted. And it seemed like a wild thing to say about the time but he was obviously right. He knew ball unlike anyone else I've ever seen

He still works for the Bucs right? Yeah what’s he supposed to say there lol

What a loser.

Having hope is what makes sports fun, we actually have a plan/vision for the first time in a while. Will it work? We don't know. But the fun part is right now convincing yourself that it will

Talent? 

1. Cam Newton 

2. Julius Peppers 

3. Kelvin Benjamin 

4. Kris Jenkins 

5. Thomas Davis 

Probably 

Anyone with a pair of eyes could tell Kelvin Benjamin was slow as molasses when coming out of FSU. I do not know about this one

This is good. I still have plenty of critiques regarding Tepper, but the worst type of owner is the one that refuses to admit when they're wrong. I think he's showing that he's not going to be that way. I think sometimes we have to remember this is his first time being an owner, and like with players and coaches that might come with a learning curve.

We've opened at home like three years in a row now. I'm not sure if the NFL pays attention to that or not, my sneaky play though is away to Tennessee.

He’s solid

Dammit man that is so sad  

WR and DL

Wide receiver group has so many questions, a TMJ/Mingo breakout could be huge but obviously not counting on it.

We're thin at EDGE outside 53, and even our iDL. I remain adamant we overrate 95 because of his draft positioning, I just am not seeing a player that's making a difference on every game. How many times did we say his name after the TNF game last year? I may catch some heat here but I think it's a big year for him and I'm far from being sold he's a second contract player for us. I've seen flashes, but year four and it's time to have a Pro Bowl caliber season.

Not sure why so many are worried about LB. Shaq is automatically a better LB than anyone Evero had in Den last year (and I'm far from a Shaq stan) and he got great play out of his LB's last year. Bell & Woods, should see Chinn playing more on the second level this year too. Want to see if Brandon Smith has a role this year.

Icky and Zavala are 2 road graders, along with Boz. Keep building that OL and there will not be a problem picking up short yardage situations. 

I also agree acting like only big RB’s are able to get tough yards is hilarious and really not a thing at all

Ans how realstic is it he actually makes the team? And what is his name???

Camerun Peoples, he dominated at App State. A true workhorse power back that can make dudes miss in the open field. I think his biggest ? Mark to finding a role in this league is his athleticism/speed. 4.61 at the combine. But we see UDFA RBs make instant impact all the time now, I’ve watched him a ton as I’m an App alum. I think he’s supremely talented and as I said earlier I wouldn’t totally be blown away if he was our #2 guy at some point this season.

Turn on Cam People’s film honestly 

I really wouldn’t be too stunned if he is our #2 back at some point this season
