The weak opening schedule really fooled some people. The rest of us saw this coming.

I still have no idea why Dalton was brought back. He is completely washed and no amount of time sitting is going to help that. We saw it creep i 2 years ago and then it was obvious last year too. Players who can't play anymore don't need a token spot on the roster. Im more worried about Moton's knee than what scrub is #2 now.

Dave doesn't know how to be a HC. He is still figuring out how to OC. Handling of Hubbard and brining back Dalton raises the question of how far along he is as an OC.

DC is meh. He can run a basic NFL offense but it's going nowhere. Get him 'his' style of players and he can put up some wins but he isn't building more than that at best. He was easily replaced in Tampa and the other guys look like better versions of his cold soup.

This team lives and dies by their RBs. Bryce is being easily replaced with a washed Dalton. LOL

Terrible optics but it also looks fun. I do wonder what the hell happened. Anyways, Cam's his own man and it doesn't effect me.

I was in the camp of 'it's probably going to end poorly'. He sure looked to fit that mold. Just glad they dumped him in the end.

The Panthers have all of the lack of deep passes without the threat of deep passes

That's more fun when Im drinking and not at work

Geno is really the only good company to those guys and it took him to 32 years of age to get it to click. He was a number 3 not 2 until they are starting to click. Baker was a pro bowler and went to the playoffs. Darnold just can't be leaned on but is solid in a #2 approach of don't lean on him. Dimes looks to only play well in contract years so if that's due to that or just not having a crushing weight of a big QB contract is TBD but still looks like a #2 in the same way Darnold is a #2 because he can't be leaned on or else. The guys you mentioned would have to take a big step to go from being a #3 to a #2 in quality. More of a hail marry really. Geno did that but it took years where this team needs a #2, not a #3 project. Basically they are closer ro Hooker than any of those guys but Geno who is the exception and not the rule.

Jackson needs help over the top. Asking him to do what Horn does is just dumb.

Nope, I was being straightforward. You on the other hand tried to talk about gas lighting while combining sarcasm which just made your take convoluted at best and at worst just straight gas lighting.

Great now we are using the definition of gas lighting to then gas light. Chefs kiss on that full circle.

If it's 40 passes vs running heavy again then we certainly will me thinks

Dalton is much better pre snap and getting rid of it in the pocket. I just don't think he has much if any juice left. Basically how he looked in game 2 the last 2 years of his starting stints. So still an improvement from Bryce but a ghost of his former self at this point. If DC doesn't call a run heavy game he is going to have a rough day.

But with more time he can turn into the best version of himself that can be...and still not be worth a non-rookie contract.

They are 0-7? What more than a sack can they talk about? It's not a serious injury and there was zip from that clip that was disrespectful, intended or not.

Clean play and take from them. The video doesn't show anything bad and no one would know there was an injury from the play either. Just looks like a normal sack.

Would be more impressive if we would have targeted better guys in the first place but it's good to see them move on from some of their mistakes. Now do the rest already...

Because it's Dave's MO. It's what he wants to do and Dalton allows him to do it, even if he shouldn't. He will run down an old man from the bench but can't do it with Young or Dave is the problem...which says enough about the entire situation IMO

Looks like he will have a new seasons best total this year but they are also 2-5. He had 9 total sacks last year if I remember correctly. 1 year over 10 total too I would still take that trade in a heart beat. All downhill after that move. He was never a guy they could build around after a mega deal either which he is showing on a bottom 3rd D. Could have been us lol so that 2nd isn't too bad if you forget it was wasted

Lol he has....I think IDK, has to be Hooker since the other guy hasn't even been here a week. Wildcat looking mighty fine if Dalton can't even make it through 1 game

Since his rookie year the offense has gotten worse and the D has improved. Dude is going to be off his rookie deal before they give him what they are giving their D. Classic example of why to pick an offensive HC over deffensive HC. They are set to have a top 5 D and not a winning record like the last 2 years of 10 wins each. Freaking hilarious

So is Hooker activated or are they just rolling with Dalton and plan B is wildcating thr 2 RBs?

Yeah well I was agaisnt Hurney coming back and then helping hire Rhule but it happened anyways. Tepper has made it so bad and it's still ongoing currently.
