CRA

the worrisome part is....HCs do in fact sacrifice coordinators to buy themselves time when expectations aren't met. The football gods require sacrifice. Rhule has super long ties to the DC.

when someone tells me who started the fire....I"ll think about leaving the burning house.

Kyle Allen era started off 4-0 Teddy era started off 3-2 and then things went south pretty quick

per Vegas we will face our 3 easiest opponents in the first 5 games. 4-0 would still be 4-0 though. Convincing wins? Yeah, I would still probably rethink and alter my excitement some for the season.

Shi never returned a single punt in college though. I’d say PR is about as clear as LT.

In reality we shouldn’t of been as competitive as we were last season. We were in large part because of Joe Brady IMO. he clearly has room for growth that will come with more situational football but he exceeded expectations IMO.

There was a fake story some actual reporters were passing around about Kelvin being caught stealing food on security cameras as the reason. Everyone deleting fast lol.

2020- 12th with 7 batted but everyone with 7 or more does have a lot more pass attempts. 2020 NFL Advanced Passing | Pro-Football-Reference.com

might be smart to extend him before he heads into his first NFL season that features a QB willing to throw downfield that also doesn't have a blown out shoulder. Moore could easily put up some big numbers. He puts up good numbers with dudes that can't /won't throw downfield.

guess TJ Ward must realize how tough the competition is these days and tried to come out strong and early. I mean, being the worst person on twitter is no easy feat these days. TJ Ward going for it though. I remain a big Ron Rivera the human fan. Probably my favorite coach in terms of actual people we have had. Ron should walk IMO. Not for the reasons TJ said. But because the org isn't filled with enough people like Ron. The org is making sure Ron knows this too.

worst case scenario is the most likely IMO. Panthers get to about 7ish wins. Which we likely would have done last year too with a healthy CMC for 16 games then too. Sam remains what he has been to date in the NFL. Just a very average QB. Not horrible. Not actually good. and Carolina is stuck in no man's land in terms of solving the QB situation. Forced to role with Darnold again the next year knowing he isn't the answer. Sets up Rhule to draft "his" QB in year 3. Which is just a weird space to have a your new HC finally bringing in a young body to groom in year 3.

eventually you become a functional zombie.

the hypothetical Watson that existed pre-scandal was worth selling the farm for. the actual Watson that exists now carries too much risk to acquire IMO I expect a payoff is coming for his current situation. But that won't actually close the door on that chapter. Could easily get re-opened after this group is paid off.

yep. and things have gotten super duper quiet in regards to the Watson saga. Which is odd given who the attorney involved is.

Do we really need Watson to back up Aaron Rodgers? I mean, we are totally getting Rodgers right?

Congrats! The miracle of life. Exciting and great times are ahead! The baby stage goes by super quick. So while you up late at night with a crying baby....don't wish that time away. I miss those days in reality.

If you look at the last 10 RBs that lead the NFL in touches…..they overwhelming have struggled the following year. Zeke and McCoy pulled it off. That’s about it. Bell an asterisk I guess since he sat out. Sure looks like a trend though. We got to dial back on CMCs workload IMO.

I think the correct answers to #4 and #5 are going to be at odds with each other. To keep CMC healthy, he doesn't need to be on his pace of touches per game. He lead the league in 2019 in touches per game. And even in his rarely seen appearances last year, he maintained the same pace of touches that lead the NFL the year prior. So Rhule's workload when he had him matched Ron's. But to build Sam's confidence...you likely will need it to be a CMC heavy offense as both runner and catcher. Our OL is still pretty weak and Chubba IMO has growth in pass protection before he can really spell CMC.

Worst case scenario IMO would be Wilson leading a game winning drive by throwing over the top on Horn.

Rhule is going to be in the crosshairs for any loss. Sam basically just has to not be the reason we lose and look better than Wilson.

if Zach Wilson looks better than Sam Darnold week one.....Sam and Rhule will deserve the heat they get.

Well, we know Rhule will be in the blame department to some extent. If his team loses to the Jets week 1. No no way out of that for Rhule.

But the week 1 matchup matters too IMO. Because of what the Jets are. Because Zach Wilson will also being learning a new scheme, with new coaches, new players, and less talent......and he won't have 3 years starting experience in the NFL under his belt like Sam. So Sam has to look better than Zach Wilson IMO week 1. And if we lose.....it will say something about Rhule and Darnold.

yeah, I think the next Spiderman movie will feel a lot like that cartoon Into the Spiderverse movie that came out a couple year ago. Which was pretty solid for a cartoon. I'm really hoping they rip off that movie and instead of having the old Spidermen playing their exact same characters they did in their movies. Like having Toby whatever his name is play an old and washed up Spiderman or something like Into the Spiderverse had. And also bringing Miles Morales hopefully.

a week before week 1 we are going to here Rhule talk about Joey Slye being naturally left handed. I mean when you got 5 possible LTs….you got none.
