  1. I know people are feeling the Luke comparison. But Payton got too much damage already on that body coming in for me.
  2. Expectation: Trading the 33rd for a future first to a really bad team Likely the Panthers: Trades for 5 3rd rounders to KC
  3. Well, if I look at the results of picks traded away in the Tepper era.....I would say no pick should ever be traded away no matter the deal. It's all long a list of being on the losing end. just take the BPA at all the spots. We got room for whoever it is.
  4. I mean, if you lock Adam Thielen in the slot for a small ball QB/O.....it's going to cap it. I mean, you can force feed him all day in the slot. Teams also often gave him stuff too as a by-product of managing downs. His yards per catch wasn't just low.....he had the lowest yards per catch of any WR in the top 100 players in yards. I mean, you don't have to remove Thielen....but he shouldn't be dominating the slot every down. That shouldn't be your plan for that area of the field. We either got to commit to a small ball O or move on from Bryce. We had tons of bad marriages last year. Bryce needs a Bryce O and skill talent that caters to that. It's like Mike Williams. I love Mike Williams. He would be my favorite Panther if we signed him. But I don't want us to. He doesn't fit IMO. That's sort of Theilen for me. It's just not a good match given what you need out of your skill players for Bryce.
  5. I think Mingo. If Mingo were to explode it would essentially have the biggest impact......pending everyone else was basically what they were last year. Icky my #2.
  6. where is that one crazy poster that used to do the number thing when you need him.
  7. Theilen isn't a TE though. You can't actually play him in that role because they also have to do things besides go out for routes. That's just what he represents as a receiving threat. A sure handed TE. And his production per catch mimics the TEs and not WRs. I just think Thielen is a bad fit. Given what we need around Bryce and what we need those players to do for him. If Bryce Young is my QB.....rec RB, slot WR, and TE are my big 3 positions I would focus on. Which is what I thought going into last season. You need playmakers there and dudes that can do something more than just catch. Focus on small ball. Which is why I not a fan of a bad Mike Williams marriage here. Which is what we did all last season. Random parts. Bryce Young isn't chucking it downfield and playing risky. That's not his DNA. Mike Williams belongs w/ a risk taker.
  8. for all Tepper's many faults......Tepper does move on quickly from his mistakes. That's really can't be denied. Problem is Tepper moves on from mistakes by making more mistakes. I think Tepper will move in a different direction if Bryce remains largely the same guy.
  9. I think draft status immediately goes out the window to a degree once you really step on a football field on Sundays. So the fact that Bryce went #1 doesn't really matter at all at this point. I mean, to an extent it is going to matter in terms of how big of a chance a FO gives him. But as far as expectations and being judged? I don't think Bryce should really be treated any different than a 2nd or 4th round pick in terms of judgement. Bryce Young was always an anomaly at QB. No matter what the hype was in college. As one coach said, if you are going to win w/ a QB bringing what Bryce physically brings to the table....he better walk on water. I think he could be a decent starter in a good place one day....but he just doesn't have the god gifted tools IMO to thrive in the NFL. And his mental QB DNA isn't that of a Brees/Wilson.
  10. Theilen handicaps the slot position too much to be the locked in Y. He isn’t a slot WR in today’s NFL. it kills all YAC potential. He is just a sure handed TE essentially.
  11. options seemed skewed. Some options would be using the 33rd on a WR and some are using other picks in reality.
  12. It’s not a good idea. It’s a great idea. It’s a deep and good WR draft.
  13. I mean, Bryce looked horrible. We should have spent a 6th on him. He is better that whoever our 3rd QB will be. Steelers acquired Wilson and Fields for less than we spent on Sam Darnold. It’s what they have won every season for a decade plus and we are the worst in all pro sports. they do smart things.
  14. Idiots are everywhere though. Climbing the ladder isn’t always about how smart/good you are either. Lot of the smartest/best folks don’t climb ladders as fast as others. That’s just a fact of life. Some people are just good at advancing themselves and working there way up in an org. It’s why across so many professions people that shouldn’t find themselves at the top get there.
  15. Well, I think last season presents a lot of questions about Bryce Young. Not only his arm strength but the type shots he is and isn’t willing to pull the trigger on. That’s me at least. I’m big Mike fan. I’d be nervous to sign him because of his age and health but I just don’t see how he pairs well with Bryce on top of that. You can’t be risk adverse to take advantage of what Mike does
