If nothing else, Renfrow gives all the young other receivers an idea of what it takes to run a great route.

My expectations for this upcoming season are higher than last season. That said, I can only see playoffs with a lot of things lining up. We need enough of these young players to make a meaningful impact, we need others in our division to falter, and most importantly, we need some luck in keeping this unit relatively healthy throughout the season. At full strength, this team has potential to be scrappy good but we don't have the margin of error others teams do. 

Seen that highlight many times over, but I've yet to find the full game anywhere. Incredibly, we still could've lost that game too.

If we're purely using that Rivera clip as a baseline, not sure that's much of anything. It really comes down to whether you're more motivating your players or constantly abusing them verbally (or even physically). That's an important distinction to make and I would have to assume the Seattle Storm allegations falls into the latter category.

It's almost like Bryce is trying in invoke the infamous growing the beard trope from Star Trek The Next Generation. if BY Season 3 ends up like TNG Season 3, we're in for an absolute treat.

You look at the NFL all-time rushing leaders, there's some players from this millennium but a lot were players from before we even had a franchise. Given how it's swung back towards being less of a passing league, not a surprise if Chuba can get up to third all-time in rushing yards at some point. Obviously, the biggest factor is if he can stay healthy enough.

As long as people continually hype up the QB position, they will continue to get all the money.

Certainly a really cool fact to consider.

Unfortunately it's tempered a bit by the fact that the last time Bryce Young started against the Jaguars in Jacksonville we got taken to the woodshed and they were starting backup QB C.J. Beathard.

Bryce Young revenge tour's next stop. 

Overall more successful than his brother, the gloved wonder. That said, you get the impression his upward trajectory stalled when he broke his leg. He still put up numbers afterwards - it's crazy he owns all Raiders passing stats - but was never really in the conversation on great QBs of his time. 

Not enough talent to overcome the drama, I suppose. 

I'm against using 1st round picks on WRs on principle, even more so when it's a guy that doesn't necessarily impress me. 

Up to Canales and Bryce to get actual production out of him. 

Not surprised often... but I'm quite surprised with this one.

Not sure how I'd feel about this if I was a Jags fan.

Let us never forget Ian Thomas' best play; signing with the Raiders. 

A safe move considering we didn't bring in any new receivers and two of our current guys are only going into year two. 

What Higgins got is exactly why I didn't want him. Way too much money.

Honestly a nice surprise. Rico was also good with yards after contact, and so it's going to be easier to spell Chuba without much dropoff. Still would like to get another rookie RB in here but now we can afford using a late round pick or signing an UDFA.

Rozeboom is a good football name imo, especially for a linebacker.

At least we sent him off on a high note. 

Seems that Morgan and company really went heavy towards guys good against the run. In other words, targeting our biggest weakness in a league where pounding the rock is back in fashion. At least conceptually, these are sound moves. Really comes down to Evero being able to do something with all these pieces. We'll absolutely improve but by how much is up in the air.

Worth noting this should help our offense by simply getting more opportunities to have the ball. Last season, we were the second worst in TOP, not good when it lacked explosive playmakers.

If I had $100 every time a player said they want to go to a contender only to stay for a wad of cash,  I'd have more money than Myles Garrett.

Corbett torn rotator cuff lifting pen from paper - out for the season

In all seriousness, I hope the numbers makes sense for a guy that only played a handful of games for us so far. Also, please draft a center this draft. This position was in such a precarious position last offseason and in typical Panthers fashion, it blew up in our faces. 

Don't really mind this. He does well with the few opportunities he has gotten and it may be a sign Canales is going to get the tight ends more involved next season. Also don't think getting a tight end in the draft is now out of the equation either. He's more like a TE2 and the short deal could be a sign that he's more of a short term solution for the sake of consistency.

Most importantly, this likely means Ian Thomas is finally out of here. But I'll believe it when I see it.

Not surprised that often... but this is a surprise.
