Here's hoping he heals up well. Might be an opponent of ours, but no reason to wish harm to the fellow. And yeah, I think it's probably unlikely he'll be back for this season. He's going to need time to heal up and rehab.

And this week's story. Really appreciate the views, likes and subscribes. They keep us going!

I think we'll see what used to be a more traditional set up for QB in pre-season, becase, well, Bryce still needs it. Full first quarter in the first game, half to three quarters in the second, and then a full series in the final game. He really took off at the end of last season, but we have to get him rolling and warmed up before the real season starts. This isn't a time for "let's not get him hurt" worries or "work the hell out of him" hardliners. And we really, really need to have some time to evaluate who is going to be that QB3/practice squad guy and see if he is our backup of the future. Andy Dalton is going to be fine as our QB2 for a year or two maybe, but there needs to be some line of succession there. And let's not talk about how serious things will quickly get if it turns out Bryce's coming out party was the whole sizzle and there's no steak left.

I know they've hurt you over the years, hell, they've hurt us all. We've got the scars to prove that we've survived the lean years, the horrible years, the near misses and the what-the-fug seasons. I hope we have a good year, a solid year, one that can give ya some joy. You deserve it for sticking with them through thick and thin. We all deserve it.

Let's hope it all works out great this season. It's about time that it did.

Synchronicity is the key. And it is a frikkin' hard key to get. The teams that have/develop it, win and win big: Chiefs, Eagles, Lions (can you believe I'm saying that?), Bills, Ravens. Teams that only get one or the other going successfully peak at being competitive but sputter out in a couple of seasons... it just can't hold together. And what happens when you have neither one working? I give you the last half decade of the Carolina Panthers.

Four Panthers selected. Jared Allen, while only here for a single season before retiring, really helped us get to the Super Bowl in 2015.

Chuba: Chubba: Good to know the difference before calling a handoff.

I wish him a great comeback. Knee injuries are tough on big guys, but he's young, motivated and has been getting the best medical attention that money can buy. If we get him back, that defense jumps six or seven spots in the rankings alone, if not more.

Good for him! We're a couple of years away from being where the Bills are and his years are running out. He can be an asset there and hopefully get a ring before he retires. Best of luck to him, sure enjoyed watching him play here. We were blessed to have him.

Another new video. I'm the scriptwriter behind this one. Complex case that unfolded quickly.

At the most, a prove it contract would be advisable. Oft injured DBs often get contact shy and that can be an issue, actually leading to more injuries. Personally, I was impressed by how Horn came back last season and wasn't just great in coverage but became much, much more aggressive in tackling and run defense. He apparently learned that it is better to be the hammer than the nail.

Sometimes you've got to make do with what's in the cupboard. Improvements on D-line can go a long way to helping out those DBs and Safeties.

He needs help. He's needed help for a very long time. Instead, he gets football, big bucks, then MMA and little bucks, now just what his family has and a new arrest. He needs help and not the kind he has been getting.

There's something telling me Rodgers doesn't make it out of training camp healthy.

There's a reason they are dangling him as trade bait right now rather than installing him in preseason OTAs. Let the buyer beware. If he were a used car he'd have had mid mileage, but many owners.

If he keeps making it around the curve, I'll be happy. He gave us some reason to look forward to this coming season. He has a good chance to come roaring out of the blocks with the schedule we have ahead of us. If he gets something to build upon, who knows where we can go. It's too soon to hope for playoffs, but wouldn't it be nice?

McCaffrey was also such a huge part of the passing game here (and in SF) that it's easy to think he'd have a lot more rushing yards, just because of the impact he had on games (and sometimes he was it, all of it, the only guy doing anything it seemed). But good for Chuba! Here's to seeing him climb the list, at least past Cam. No slight on Cam and his historic career here, but if your franchise's third leading rusher of all time was a QB, you've had some issues.

Let's make it happen.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again... when your star player is a wide receiver, you've got problems. When it's a receiver with a reputation for being difficult to work with, it's even worse. Couldn't have happened to a better team. I'm still bitter about 2003.

If one of these guys with guaranteed money doesn't make the team and then goes to another team, does the guarantee still hold? Do we pay part of their salary at another team? Or does it work the opposite way and tell them hey, we paid your salary for the season, you can't go elsewhere and keep that guarantee? If so, doesn't that create basically a second practice squad of reserves to call up from?

So looking forward to this season.

I think that most NFL centers have run into that exact situation at some point in their careers, going back to high school. No one really wants to play center starting out.

I hope there's a good competition for starting center this season. Since we have a young QB who is still very much developing, this is a massively important role to get set in stone here. Good luck to Cade!
