That's fuggin terrible man. Not just for Burrow (obviously hoping for a speedy recovery because the NFL is better when he's playing), but for the fans too. Imagine spending all offseason eagerly waiting to see your team for the new NFL season, only for your fandom to derail before it even starts because your superstar QB got hurt in training camp. Absolutely terrible for everybody. I'm hoping it really is just a calf strain like first thought instead of something more serious.

Bryce Young bust confirmed lol Obvious sarcasm

Bro what? We haven't seen a pass that good since Cam.

1. Byron Bell wasn't on that superbowl team 2. Byron Bell is THE worst lineman in Panthers history

It's not so much age, but mileage, and Haynes hardly has any.

God, isn't it a breath of fresh air to not dilly dally around with 1st team reps like a certain previous coach?

Ok, now THAT is impressive. I know most articles around this time are just fluff pieces, but this is actually notable.

Wait, this can't be right. I was shown a OTA video of him underthrowing passes by some youtube channel voicing their concerns.

That pass though....

Exactly. Batted balls is like 75% o-line fault and 25% QB's fault. QB's fault for staring down where they are going to throw it, and o-lines fault for not getting theit defender's hands down. Stats have shown that there is no correlation to height and batted balls.

Bro, I know people aren't up in arms about a couple of underthrows/overthrows.......................................in OTAs lol

Claim it's for "safety", yet Thursday Night games and turf is still prevalent.

That's what I'm saying. People acting like these SEC players grow another 4 inches when they get into the NFL lol

Offense sells tickets and is entertaining.

Week 9 bye would be clutch right before that Thursday night game and 4-5 games on the road during that stretch.

Doug Pederson and Jim Irsay say hello.

OP is 100% right in the fact that if we win that Bucs game, we set ourselves back 4 years. This offseason would have been GRIM! As for tanking, I think most of us have different definitions of "tanking". I was ALL FOR tanking, which for me meant resting key starters and letting more young guys play to see what we have (which also meant losing more). Take that last Saints game for example, we lost TWO IMPORTANT players on our o-line to major injuries and now probably won't even be ready for the season. That game was meaningless, you absolutely tank and play your young players and rest key starters to PREVENT that, while also attaining a better draft pick in the process.

We saw last year how "splitting" practice reps between Darnold/Mayfield and making them "earn" their job went. We came out week 1 rusty, players had no connection with each other, o-line missing assignments (because of Rhule's dumbass musical chairs theory), etc. It was just an all around mess. Let's not overthink this. Let Bryce get the much need reps with the 1s. Let Bryce get a connection with his WRs, center, o-line throughout training camp and preseason. Let's not have to figure this sh*t out weeks 1-4 because we wanted to make him "earn" the job. We are not in a position like the 49ers were with Mahomes to let him sit a year. They had the benefit of already being a very good team. We don't have that luxury, let Bryce learn on the fly.

Just the fact that they acknowledge and are aware of the fact gives me a lot of hope for this front office and coaching staff. I LOVED that they mentioned this. With Ron Rivera and Co., it was always trying to fit a square peg in a round hole and always dismissing the elephant in the room. Cam needed a good o-line and WRs his whole career here, yet for some reason Ron and Hurney thought nothing was wrong. It's such a breath of fresh air to actually have a front office self aware enough to know a good o-line is a MUST.

That hit at 8:08 in OP's video against Florida was vicious. Free blitzer with a clear shot at Bryce and just cleans him straight in the chest. What does Bryce do? He stands in there, takes the hit, delivers a strike, gets right back up, and then finishes the drive with a TD. There's not many BIG QBs that could do that sequence. Just sayin.

You traded all of that and only ended up with Smith-Njigba, Kincaid, and Bresee? You suck lol You could have at least managed to keep the Bojangles.

Yep. Brain just going through the motions.

I'm hoping ATL has the best mediocre season this year. Do not want them getting in position to get or potentially move up for Caleb Williams or Drake Maye.
