I am replying based on Huddle input, if you read the full message. We can put a poll up for expected production/results. Might be interesting to check back on towards the end of the season.

I don't think the expectations on TMac are as high as you think. TBH, we saw higher expectations for XL in year 1 than TMac, based on the Huddle input, anyway. A lot of both of their production is going to be tied to Bryce anyway. I suspect that if Bryce doesn't take a big leap, 80% of the ire is going to be directed at him rather than any specific WR.

All the more reason for athletes to get off social media. Anyone famous that is checking comments or reading DM's on social media is just voluntarily wading into an overflowing sewer.

100%. There are rarely, if ever, PS signings that turn into much more than temporary depth pieces. The examples of these are extreme outliers if you look at a season NFL roster transactions log.

I gotta be honest, all of the talk of team/vocal/by example leader is pretty pointless. We see snippets at best so we only know second or third hand about that kind of poo unless it is blantantly obvious. Cam was obvious because he was Cam. So we really are purely speculating on if he is a wet blanket or incapable or whatever. We literally have very, very, VERY little idea. That's not a subject that we can effectively evaluate, IMO. The on field stuff, 100%.

He likely has a couple of more offseasons/seasons before he gets polished enough to be an elite WR but with TMac and Coker here, hopefully we have the luxury of allowing him to do that development.

Very glad to see he is aware and working on it. Now we just need to see the results this season. Hopefully, like he said, with TMac getting the bulk of the targets/attention, it opens up opportunities for him.

Thompson and Williams ended up being(so far) top 40 players by wAV in that draft. It was a better draft than we gave it credit for at the time, although Funchess being a bust didn't help.

No, my original comment was based on that obviously being a bad takeby him, if he said it.

It's possible that is true, as I said, if it was that doesn't say much for his ability to evaluate QB's. However, if you recall, the Commanders/Johnson situation turned into quite the nasty he said/she said fiasco.

Your algorithm is fuged, brother. Delete that app.

I think they might be scarred after the BY trade if that move fails. Or even more so if Caleb Williams pans out. One hopes it will teach them to be patient but that isn't in Tepper's future.

I get being just generally mad at everything Panthers. It's easy to do.

He has better arm talent but he is slightly less athletic and significantly less polished than Jones. Darnold is further behind in reading the field but they both struggle with making bone headed/dumb gunslinger decisions. I would say it's actually a good comp when you really do a side by side of strengths/weaknesses and even results.

You are more than free to be wrong. He was fool's gold last season, much like every other season he has been in the NFL. Watch how badly this goes in Seattle....

Well, that's kind of what I mean. He has already been kicking around a PS for a season. He is a borderline roster player/bubble PS caliber guy. It's gonna take a bit of a bump to get him past a regular roster guy like Moore, especially when ST is factored in. Not saying it's not possible but I just don't think it's very likely.

I would say that would be a mild surprise if he doesn't.

What they are asking for in a trade isn't going to fix their team in 2025. You don't throw out wildly high trade offers out of desperation. Also, we don't have anything we can sell reasonably without doing far more harm to us than good by getting him.

Etienne confirmed sock account.

I think the group of people that believe that are you and Etienne's momma.

There is really no threat of Tremayne not clearing waivers. That's what I meant.

He is just Sam Darnold. Lots of talent, ten cent brain. Also, just not a good QB draft. Best of that bunch were Kyler, Jones and Minshew basically in that order. So one averageish starter and two backup QB's.

I had this discussion with my buddy yesterday afternoon. If we start this season very slow(especially with the schedule being what it is) and then "rally" in the second half to get to 4-7 wins, I am already gonna be pretty heated at the staff overall. I know we are a very bad roster but I am not gonna keep excusing these slow season starts WITH late season rallies. That's a coaching staff problem, IMO. It's more excusable to just stink gate to gate, IMO. At least you can understand why.

No. I think he lost the coaching staff with that taking himself out stunt and always being injured. Not to mention, he just doesn't improve at all. Not an ounce. Sad state of affairs to basically easily lose a starting battle to Daniel Jones.

I would be very surprised to see Moore bumped if we keep 7 WR's. Tremayne is easily stashed on the PS with no threat of anyone signing him off it.
