Bryce Young's expectations are super high. So while he might be the best rookie, it likely would be hard for him to exceed expectations. I'll go Mingo in the 2nd half of the season shines in the slot playing some small ball.

Think pads will make a big difference in the time clock Young has to work with. I know they can't touch him regardless but it still changes things.

yeah, back to practice. Pads make a big difference. Look forward to overreacting to today's reports.

Twitter/X's valuation has been cut in half. The advertising dollars have been fleeing. Which is where the money is. And you can't blame them. Musk is too unstable and erratic. He also is a notorious liar and BSer. Musk is just a rich dude that has the capital to make mistake after mistake after mistake. That would sink/destroy most. He thinks because he is smart in some avenues (which he is) that he is a universal genius on all things (which he clearly isn't). He just has a lot of money.

Could be just as much about having a contract than making insane money. Top tier RBs take too much punishment to be playing on a one year deal. Injury screws them.

I still think we need some tweaking to the backfield. More to the backfield than rushing. If we face a lot fo 3rd and long type stuff which we could easily with a rookie QB.....this cast doesn't seem to be ideal for that yet.

Foreman frankly earned a ticket back to be the early down RB IMO. But that's the NFL. Who you know is going to matter a as roleplaying vet. New staff was going to be bad news for dudes like him.

best thing about Matt Rhule was always Phil Snow. I give him two years at Nebraska.

look like a non-contact injury rolling to his right. right leg. the opposite of his last injury.

Relax. I'm sure we will be... the toughest, hardest working, most competitive team in the country/NFL

rookie QB? 2nd day of NFL training camp? Throwing to dudes he essentially just met?

I mean all he really has to do is pull a Denver John Fox. Just worry about your defense and basically let Aaron Rodgers do whatever he wants. Took Fox a second I think to get that but he eventually understood.

I assume Payton knows he only has a shot at a wildcard and knows the Jets are probably the favorite to snatch one. I'd put my money on NY over Denver to get one.

Nah, but they want to control the content and narrative that surrounds the team this time of year. if fans are out there with their cameras and spamming the internet then the narrative is whatever it spontaneously evolves into online.

Cam Newton was in a great spot. Double Trouble in the backfield. Multiple pro bowlers on the OL. A pro bowl TE and a soon to be pro bowl TE playing in 2 TE sets Hall of Fame WR Cam Newton went to a team that had a horrible record. The talent for Cam was far from horrible.

No reason to date to think we are putting too much on Bryce's plate. But I definitely think you can put too much on a player that isn't ready. Maybe it's the wording. But you can set folks up for success or failure. Let's say we asked Bryce Young to do what a vintage Brady to do last year. That would be 40+ pass attempts per game. That would be asking too much for a rookie QB. No indication this staff would be stupid though.

You are right. You win. Miles Sanders is a great 3rd down RB.

keeping score isn't that hard when it's only been going on way. anyway, feel free to holla at me when you have been proven to be right.

I mean, you can call me negative. Board is here for diverse opinions. The reality of our convos of late when this time of year comes have just been me being right and you wrong though. Guess we will see who ends up getting the lionshare of the 3rd down RB work this year. I'm going with not Miles Sanders. He will get early down work. As he should.

Best post Cam Newton throw to date is PJ Walker to DJ Moore in the last one vs Atlanta when DJ took his helmet off.

I mean the defender did pull up. But I think that was because he couldn't make a play on it when he got there. He was sort of drifting in and the ball placement went the other direction on him when he got there. I don't know if Young saw him. But I think the trailing DB didn't have an angle to light Chark up or break it up when got to the spot he thought he needed to get to IMO

Dalton lucky their ain't no DBO sign. That's a lap.

Just hoping you might actually be right. I mean at least be right one time.

I haven't ignored that. Evaluating someone as a 3rd down option isn't just about looking at the official drop tally on their stat sheet boss. Someone could have 0 drops and suck at the job. You don't read. I already acknowledged the GM/staff is likely waiting to see if someone wows them at camp in that role. Again, there would be no one to patch that niche issue with until cuts.
