Guess we’re not watching the same team. I haven’t trusted a Kicker since Kasay had the job.

Gano was solid. The Olindo Mare year was absolutely brutal

While we are here, how would everyone rate Bryce's arm strength?  Anyone concerned about his size?  Would anyone prefer Stroud?  

I want to know what everyone thinks about the trade up for him and if everyone agrees that it was worth it

They took a RB in the top 10 last year they barely used and this year they took a QB in the top 10 that wont play anytime soon. I fully approve Falcons wasting all their top picks for the foreseeable future. 

Not to mention taking Pitts at #4 overall. Maybe he gets better with better QB play, but they could have had Jamarr Chase, Jaylen Waddle, or Devonta Smith.

Well we already had one of these threads about this bullshit a while back. Sorry that Bryce sucks and pointing out that fact hurts your feelings. 

I wouldnt give a flying fug if he was short but could actually play the position. 

Oh cool, one thread about this topic previously that undoubtably turned into another Bryce is short, he sucks, we can’t talk about anything else discussion. As if there aren’t hundreds of other threads that dedicated to the same topic that you have the ability to post in.

Well then that begs the question, why sign an old, injured Cousins to a big deal and thus hamper your ability to add talent around a QB on a rookie deal?

This decision reeks of indecisiveness in the FO, and I can't believe it's receiving praise on this website.

It's almost as if, get this crazy thought, that other teams in the league can also make bad/questionable decisions from time to time. But for some reason, we can't discuss those without every thread turning into the same "Dude did you know that Bryce young is short" pile on from the usual suspects.

Literally almost no one from SC has ever cared about the Panthers. I have lived/ worked/traveled all over that state over the years. It is much more common to find people rooting against the Panthers than for them. I remember being in a Rock Hill bar for the first game of the 2016 season and everyone cheering against the Panthers. 

SC literally has next to no ties to the Panthers.

Lots of Gamecock fans from that era hated the Panthers because of Cam. The one year they made the SEC championship in most of their fans lifetime, Auburn put up 56 points on them in a laugher and their coping mechanism was labeling Cam as a cheater because of the pay for play allegations (which of course wouldn’t matter in this day and age). Then having to see him play locally and succeed just rubbed salt in the wound.

Here, let me google that for you

I feel worse than before.  This is a draft from the era that Morgan was a player on the team.

We will see. Just can’t understand people who jump from one extreme side of the coin to the other without rhyme or reason every other month 

You’ve gotta be the biggest flip flopper I’ve ever seen. You were renouncing your fandom and calling him Dave and Nicole’s yes man within minutes after he got hired.

It's fairly front loaded.  He'll have earned 75 of the 100 guarantee by the end of 2025.  The Falcons can get rid of him for 25 million dead after 2025, and if they play it right (June designation) they can split that over two years.  It's nothing essentially.

Let's put it this way - if the Falcons are planning ahead to get out of a contract that they just signed a month and a half ago, it probably wasn't a good plan. Especially if they did this thinking he was the missing piece to win a championship

Point taken - though it's not too far off Brissett and Tyrod type money who had younger guys like Devito and Howell play over them when push came to shove.

Those situations are kind of different to me - Brissett was only a one year deal and a desperation play for Ron if the Howell experiment didn't go well to try to save his job which was on the hottest of hot seats. 

Tyrod only got 5.5 mil per year and Devito only played initially because Tyrod got injured (and after Daniel Jones was done for the year). Their season was basically over by the time Tyrod was healthy enough to play and they had nothing to lose by seeing what Devito had

Yeah that's true.  Gotta admit though, Minshew looked a lot less capable in IND than earlier in his career.  Think Aiden played for LV with more ease and had a bit better vision/could see more of the field.  Minshew is a real backyard style QB that can get locked on guys.  

Minshew is what he is, a guy that you feel good if he's your #2 for a few games, or a bridge QB. But it seems like the Raiders didn't view him that way with the contract they gave him, nor did they have any faith in O'Connell if they paid Minshew that much and made overtures to draft one too.

I understand the Penix pick.  The guy is the best passer in the draft.  Better arm and mobility than Cousins, but similar enough that Penix can learn a lot.  Cousins is gone after 2025, and might even be the backup by midseason 2025.  Sucks for him, but that's how I read it.

Then why did Atl give Cousins 100 million guaranteed if they only think he would start for 1-2 years? Isn't that really stupid or am I missing something?

Some reactionary takes...hard to really get too definitive before these guys play, but some teams have created really nice situations for some top notch talent--> 

Favorable:

 

• LVR: They stuck to a BPA strategy and I think this will be super beneficial for them.  Bowers is one of the best TE talents in over a decade.  O'Connell may be filling in until 2025 for them but Bowers is a piece to build around. 

 

 

I think Minshew wins that job, not typical that you give a backup QB 12.5 million per year

I remember the Smith game but the the Peppers game. What happened?

One of the most god awful games I’ve ever watched. The panthers defense intercepted 4 passes from the bears who were starting Todd Collins….and lost by 17 points. Peppers had a pick and shushed the crowd. Jimmy Clausen and Matt Moore combined to throw 32 passes for 96 yards and 3 INTs with no TDS….adjusted for the lost yardage on the 5 sacks they took it was 62 net passing yards. Matt forte had 166 yards and 2 TDs including one for 68 yards where no one appeared to be interested in trying to tackle him.
 

The guy who had a fumble 6 against us that effectively turned the vikings game into a loss

No you weren’t, just another attempt for attention. Like a drug for you

You already said you were doing this months ago, why create another thread about it?

Simms taking his victory lap having only Stroud in his Tier 1 QB listings last season, plus his 2024 rankings which I haven't watched yet

 

Lots of UNC fans are going to be mad at who he ranks as the 6th best QB in this class and grades him as a 3rd rounder.

Foster was raised in California, but he was actually born in Charlotte and visited frequently as a child. Still had tons of family and iirc he still has a house there. 

that was one of the reasons he was drafted by the panthers. There were some thoughts he was going to drop because he only played like six games his last year at UCLA.

He was averaging over five yards a carry but he kept showing up to practice in suspiciously brand new Escalades and he was suspended. 

Don’t worry about who the other running back was the panthers were going to draft. Don’t look it up. Don’t think about it. 

Alright, I'll bite. Who was it? Clinton Portis? Brian Westbrook?

Watson just wasn't viewed as an elite guy. He got the "successful system college guy" rap.

But Trubisky wasn't a system guy? I'm not disagreeing that these were opinions at the time, I just didn't and don't understand them.

14 hours ago, kungfoodude said:

He really does suck. But, he was just one of those guys in a weak QB class that got heat with little background. Not a super rare story. 

His class included Mahomes and Watson. I can understand that Mahomes was kind of a wild card because of the system he played in, but I never understood how Trubisky went ahead of Watson when the eye test was involved.
