Yeah but it just validates @MasterAwesome’s point of taking stats at face value being foolish. I didn’t realize Dalton got hit 10 times in that Seattle game. Definitely playing with house money knowing Dalton is our backup and playing hopefully not many games this season. We also didn’t have to worry about Dalton’s development being impacted by those constant hits. It’s a good interesting debate between him and @45catfan. Real football/analytics talk.

Oh yeah it’s the better deal without a doubt.

If players think the contract is low typically they sign somewhere else out of spite. I don’t think we will know what was offered but it couldn’t have been much less.

We tried to sign him first. He went somewhere else instead. However the Sanders signing looks like a separate bad move.

I wanted Downs at 39 badly. Stroud at 1, Downs at 39. Downs actually fits Young's game better as you already said.

Love the throwback Eagles uniforms

He won’t sling it down field a lot, we just want a couple times to keep the defense honest.

So if the Broncos and Cards win every team has at least 2 wins but us?

It’s an affective way to throw money at the problem. Maybe a crew featuring Colbert will help pick a new GM? Someone on here mentioned a rumor of Tepper meeting with Polian for advice.

He will hire some advisor like Colbert to give advice on how to get out of this mess IMO. That’s the best chance we have at him letting the football guys make football decisions.

No but you can’t stay put at average you have to attempt to get better. If it doesn’t work keep trying again with someone else. Moving on from Rivera was the right move. Rhule and possibly Reich were the wrong moves.

Howell can’t catch a break between UNC’s OL his last year and this group his has now.

Could be worse. Auburn is unwatchable. They have like 30 passing yards and the game is pretty much over.

MHJ is so ridiculous. He is just a NFL WR out there against a bunch of college players…

They post these threads every year. If gives us a chance to “scout” players in the upcoming draft as well. Go make another Panther topic if it bothers you and ignore this one.

Pretty sure Young was great at that in college as well…

True plus there will absolutely be some rust. This bye week will help to a degree, but year it may take a couple weeks playing before he feels 100%.

With Corbett likely coming back how is our OL looking? Icky, Mays, Boze, Corb, Moton? I read that Mays played better last week but I wasn’t paying much attention to him. That should be at least a serviceable OL going forward with only one potential weakness in LG. Maybe Brown gets them rolling with some better designed running plays since that’s his specialty.

Oh now you don't like him? You disgust me!

apparently he isn't even cheap

It's crazy when you look at active QBs with a Super Bowl Ring. Russ (sucks now), Stafford (getting old), Mahomes (only one with multiple), Foles (backup or worse), and Rodgers (one year left?). It's a tough measuring stick for sure. Brady and Mahomes are hogging them.
