2023 - traded the farm for a QB #1 overall 2024 - first round pick on WR training camp report, these dudes are going to run the heck out of the ball with a 4th rounder via the HC who owned the worst run game in the NFL last year.

If the Tepper era had a Hall of Honor, Matt Rhule is at the front of the line. Put some respect on that name. The Tepper Era Mount Rushmore. Where is an AI image creator when you need it. Matt Rhule, PJ or Sam (you either pick win % or total wins), Sir Purr but carved as a bear, and last.....way off to the right and basically looking like different monument you put Derrick Brown.

I don't know how you reach "solid".....when your 1 year as an OC featured a bottom half O sporting the worst run game in the NFL. It all stinks. Always has. Not only is Canales super green and unproven....Tepper allowed him to stretch himself thin by calling plays. You can basically predict this entire season before it kicks off.....much like you could do the last 2. The last 2 were super predictable. Well, Frank making that early of an exist wasn't but the overall season was.

to quote the greatest head coach of all time (in the Tepper era)....ONE OF US!

True. Bryce actually would only pair with a creative offensive guy that caters a scheme to him. He isn't a plug and play guy. but I'd argue Bryce paired better with what Frank did in the NFL than what Canales has been around.

true. but he wasn't in camp last year with Bryce. Camp to camp is really what I was going with. I haven't heard anything suggesting Bryce has grown as a football player.

stop the cap. Jordan wasn't here last year. And by all accounts, Bryce is having a worse camp than last year. but Jordan is smart and a pro. Probably why they randomly have him up at the presser. He ain't dumb.

Then we could at least have 2 random good games a season. That's more than 0.

it's a hotdog and a hotdog is a sandwich

Canales didn't draft Young. Canales doesn't have to go out there and poo the bed until he has to. I think our O potentially could be worse than last year. In terms of the actual pass aspect. I don't think Bryce is good and I don't think he pairs with Canales. I've said that for months.

I'm here for free fantasy advise. Don't draft Panthers.

I'll bet you a button and nickel that you will be disappointed in the play time of our starters. I think it's still possible we don't see Bryce at all this preseason.

it delays how much Canales has to deal with. Imagine they come out and play a half vs the Jets the starters are the trainwreck we believe them to be. Canales can kick that can and hope he can figure stuff out by the time week 1 gets here. it's an all around bad spot. Bryce isn't good. It's a new O on top of that. One that Bryce doesn't really fit or is a deviation of Canales' bread and butter. Pick one. We don't even have a functional C at this point.

meh, agree yet disagree. you are probably right. But it shouldn't be that way. I mean, it almost takes effort to try to be as dysfunctional as we are. Like "fixing" your OL and yet not even having a someone that has logged a NFL game at C. This isn't something we shouldn't and couldn't have seen coming. It was a choice. And doing so knowing you got a young and struggling QB. This is why I disliked Morgan. Everything remains too Fitterery. It's like acquiring Bryce and trading DJ Moore. Yeah, that's not how you do it for a QB you just invested in. It's basic stuff this front office seems oblivious to.

I'm looking forward to the preseason I'm not looking forward to Canales excuses of why he can't really play his starters again this week, when the truth will be he can't leave them out there to be exposed for a half as they enter a season. Maybe they get a series or something. No way they see extended time. O isn't good enough IMO based on what we know and have heard. He would have too much to publicly address after that. Wouldn't be good for momentum into a season. He is going to kick that can. We struggle getting snaps off at this rate. Bryce throwing picks. Jets got too good of DT play to attack our weaknesses right now. I'm looking forward to cold beers this weekend.

or this front office/owner it's hard to ignore, David Tepper owns 2 sports teams.....and has had 192 head coaches in 5 years.

really like what Charlotte FC is doing this year. Hopefully, they keep this coach around for more than 1 year.

QB, QB, QB, QB, QB

Bryce Young BRYCE YOUNG!!! Bryce Young??????

Tough to say…they practice against what was the worst O in the NFL….and had one preseason game in the rain vs our competition for the #1 overall spot. I think the run D will be improved. Hard to feel confident we are going to be able to stop the pass with consistency. Overall DB play and pressure are still unknowns.

Reddit trends younger for sure. Bunch of youngsters full of hope and dreams. Here? The old timers? We know when you don’t even have an actual C for a bad young QB…stuff like that only ends one way.

Tepper and Morgan do though. That’s the worrisome part. And they added zero legit QBs to the roster for if Bryce is bad. Dalton doesn’t count. He is washed and is collecting a check. So even if he comes in and plays better it serves no real purpose for the team.

Probably because it’s the NFL. And there is virtually no reason to suck for a long period of time anymore. League is designed so you shouldn’t be horrible a half decade. Yet we get worse.

Dolphins have a whiz kid playcaller. He isn’t even good yet. But it’s evidence how scheme and playcalling matter when you watch them. Which is why the Dolphins have such an easy time with comparable or lower talent moving the ball.
