Fields is however one of the most dangerous runners in the NFL from the QB spot. So if you play him, you have to accept that aspect is there to counter and make up for his incomplete pass game. I still see no reason the Steelers would go to Wilson. Teammates love Fields. Wilson is tough to take. Steelers are winning. Style points don't count. And Fields while inconsistent, can be a good passer in windows. of course, I say all that as a firm believer Wilson is washed...

We won’t trade for Fields… because we could of just drafted him at 8 when he fell in our laps. Kept all our star players. Kept all 2 billion draft picks we spent on random QBs. It’s not like Tepper doesn’t know that. Doubt he wants to look any dumber than he already does.

It’s stupid to bench him for Wilson. They are winning with Fields and room exists for growth. Plus, unlike Wilson, teammates always dig Fields. Wilson is annoying and on the decline.

Drafting an injured guy was a bit silly for us….but drafting a RB not in round 1 makes total sense. Hubbard is a FA after this year. Not paying him a second contract is smart. Not paying some dude like Miles Sanders would be smart. You are supposed to draft RBs.

Heck, of late, the #1 overall QB has been a meh to bad investment for most.

Yeah, they both seem to want to dance with pass rush and hold the ball…..yet ain’t built like Lamar to entertain that. I think both have been more lucky than not with that mindset. Weak conference and the easy section of the schedule help. But you got to think it will bite them eventually more than it has to date. Dudes get killed in the NFL with that mindset of holding thinking they can make a play. Ward and Sanders would be destroyed by a NFL front playing that way. their college coaches seem to be cool with it. I just worry the habits set in. But maybe if tasked with quick ball both could do that too.

Too early IMO. Take Milroe. It could keep going south this year. And then what is he? I think Carolina likely gets a top 3 pick and should draft back for picks

Shoutout to the Falcons DB for going down at the goaline on that pick 6. Could be worse.

No doubt Frank had flaws. But Frank was mid level NFL coach. He couldn’t do that here because of Bryce….and the same glaring difference appeared when Dalton played vs Seattle. clearly Bryce Young is an offensive issue unique to itself

I don’t see how we are better positioned than Dallas or even the Jags. Both have better base talent that projects out past this year IMO. Think coaching is really hurting both of those teams right now.

I think he could post a winning record in a 100% healthy SF O. That's about it.

easier for them, given they stumbled upon a rookie who went undefeated until the NFCCG we got an empty cupboard.

Lots of upsets? I think UGA and whoever loses Bama/UT will obviously go down. I think Miami goes down after flirting with defeat every ACC game thus far. That's about all that stands out for me.

Baker still owns a lot of real estate in folks heads.

is it an overall better scheme? Or were the folks last year just forced to play Bryce Young all season. I'd love to be a fly on the wall for when Frank Reich talks about his Carolina days.

I don't see the point in inserting Theilen back into his old role either. We aren't developing Andy Dalton. We ain't winning games. Him racking up 700 yards to end this year doesn't help us.

Someone complained the defense lived on the field. There is only one way for that to happen. Panthers are bottom 3rd in possession on the year. Bottom 3rd still if you look at the last 3 games. That's one cherry picked game vs another team that, like us, struggles staying on the field offensively.

I think they should run Dionte and XL at 1 and 2 and put Coker in the slot demote Mingo

A defense that lives on the field is generally there because the offense isn’t staying on the field

Need to know what Brooks is and isn’t though to manage the roster for next year.

We literally just drafted Brooks. Why would you pay Hubbard. drafting cheap RBs on repeat should be the way. Not paying 2nd contracts.

Running eats clocks and limits opportunities….should be a no brainer to commit to the run. It would help the D to have them on the field less

we frankly have nothing to do trade. Derrick Brown is our only actual asset that we would get legit draft picks from. we would be getting peanuts for AT, Johnson, Chubba. Maybe you could get something okay for Horn. But even that is questionable given his injury history....and you gotta assume folks see something on tape because given how bare bones our D is.....teams still throw at the guy.

I think Bryce returns at some point even if Dalton stays healthy. Eventually after so many Ls you just get forced into rearranging chairs on the Titanic.

bad hires are bad hires though. No real point sticking with them just because… it’s sort of like arguing we should stick with Bryce just because we keep churning through QBs and yeah, Morgan is a big part of it for me. Same for Caldwell and others. Having the the mess fix the mess and never sat right with me. If Tepper would commit to hiring someone to actually run this team….I would 100% support them starting over clean vs sticking with guys just because of our turnover habit
