DeAngelo Beason

One of the only moments in his entire career where he actually impressed me was when he had the shimmer in his eye and grin on his face before that final drive on Sunday. When I saw the look on his face I knew we were going to go right down the field and win. You could see in his eyes he knew he had the game won. I think a lot of that had to do with him knowing Rico was feeling good and the Packers defense was gassed, and not necessarily confidence in his own abilities, but I digress...

Tmac would most certainly be cracking the top 5 receivers in the league this season if this team had an actual professional quarterback. We've had a few rookie receivers that were lightning in a bottle year one, then became duds. He's not going to be one of them. I think he's going to be one of the best receivers in the NFL for a very long time.

This team is built to win, which I said at the start of the season. I'm not saying we are a super bowl contender, but it's a playoff roster. The big handcuff is at the QB position. If Bryce Young cannot start playing at a professional level we are going to continue struggling and stealing wins instead of punching people in the mouth like we should. The reality is we should be sitting at 2 losses and have blown several teams out, including Green Bay, but having absolutely NOTHING in the passing game is holding us back badly. Point being, in this current scenario our best hope is that we barely make the playoffs and get absolutely obliterated in the first round.

We can't land a franchise qb through a trade, so the position worth targeting are edge, LB, and OL (because of injuries). Haven't paid enough attention to see who's out there worth trading for.

No receiver on the team can be adequately judged given the absolute ineptitude from the QB position. With that said, it appears for the first time ever that we have a legitimately threatening receiving corps. With a professional QB at the helm these guys are going to be tough do deal with, and Dan deserves all the credit in the world for that.

Remember when the board was absolutely melting down because Bryce Young was making the entire o line look bad but for some reason they insisted that Ekwonu was a bust?

Or the QB can't hit the broad side of a barn. Misses wide open receivers deep, fumbles, throws ugly ints... could be that too.

I'd do Chuba and a 5th for a 3rd.

It is indeed. Most of what gave Dalton fits is that he had 15lb rocks attached to his feet.

Happy birthday. Retire.

I can't believe I am saying this... I think (within the context of this past Sunday's game) we are a better team with Bryce Young on the field. If he had started I genuinely think that would have been a close game. His escapability was desperately missed. Dalton was utterly atrocious.

I have preached patience with Canales and will continue to do so, but it is an absolutely fatal flaw if he doesn't but Chuba into the RB2 role. Rico Dowdle is the only chance that this offense has of being respectable. There are two ways this season goes down for Canales: 1 - Stay scrappy, maybe sneak into the playoffs if we run the offense around Rico, get a mid to low first round pick, attempt to draft more "support" for Young. This is actually a worst case scenario for Canales because he can't go get his QB and we are stuck trying to build the team around minime. 2 - Be who we thought we were. Trash. See Young for what he is, trade or release him, draft a new QB that is coming to a squad with a lot of offensive talent and let Canales really have HIS guy. The question is will Tepper have the patience to keep Canales on board if this is how the season goes.

If you think the GM has any control over the building of this team you're dead wrong. That's 100% Tepper. I think at best the GM is effectively a consultant for the fat yankee owner of the team.

David and Nicole Tepper were responsible for Bryce Young. That's just undisputable fact.

The Fitterer situation is funny to me. I recall defending his personnel decisions, particularly as it relates to QB, and getting flamed for it. Yet, sure enough, the two QBs he brought in are arguably the two best QBs in football right now.

He has done absolutely squat up until this season. He's produced double digit sacks once. I'm perfectly fine shipping him if his ceiling is one good season for his entire career.

Former Bill.... espionage tactic?

Keyword being "catches"

This is what happens when passes thrown in his direction are actually on target. Everyone is ignoring that Bryce was throwing ducks to him all season. They're finally starting to rediscover their chemistry.

As I said, he's going to be fine.

The Panthers didn't see anything. I think Mrs. Tepper saw, and felt, butterflies. That's all it took.

He is a textbook case of a young player trying too hard. Bryce wasn't doing him any favors with ball placement the first four games either. They are missing some chemistry that they previously had. Last year Legette showed tremendous upside while making some common rookie errors, and I think that upside is still there. He's got to get his sea legs under him.

Fluke. I'm not a believer yet.

Legette is going to be fine.

I quit this forum for like 15 years and just lurked from time to time. I think it sucked even back when Delhomme was the QB. But it's pretty bad these days.
