Despite having a respectable record with the Colts (41-35-1) with two playoff appearances and no legitimate franchise QB, I'm starting to wonder if there's a pattern with Frank Reich teams not being ready to play at the start of the season. In 5 years, he has 4 losses and a tie. 2018 Week 1: L to Bengals 2019 Week 1: Loss to Chargers 2020 Week 1: Loss to Jaguar 2021 Week 1: Loss to Seahawks 2022 Week 1: Tied with Texans 2023 Week 1? It seems to me his overall approach to camp is not that intense as well as his approach to preseason games. Coincidence?

Cam had the athleticism coming out of college but was also a Heisman trophy winner and the best player in college. Richardson looked like hot garbage at Florida on most days. Not saying he won't develop into a legitimate NFL quarterback, but comparing him to Cam Newton at this junction is just dumb and disrespectful to Cam.

Exactly

Clearly he underachieved but the athletic potential is there. A 7th rounder is an equivalent of a bag of chips

Why weren’t we in on this deal? Surely Evero could have used him in a 3-4 scheme

I meant Zach Wilson

Chris Simms also told us Mart Corral and Trey Lance were the best QBs in their respective drafts. He only cares about size and having a big arm. No surprise since he sucked at processing when he was a pro. If it makes you feel any better he also thinks Drew Brees was massively overrated.

I think it’s fair to expect Bryce to have ups and downs as a rooke. It’s the expectations of the coaching staff that the rest of the team doesn’t make it worse.

I would agree. If you're getting exposed in 1v1s that's not due to scheme.

LOL i don't even care if they win, just want to see meaningful progress offensively

Typo, yes, thanks

I'm honestly not worried about the Defense. Evero will get those guys ready by Week 1 to stop the run against the Falcons. My main concern is the offense, specifically the offensive line because it all starts up front. - RBs must be able to run the ball and keep defenses off balance and catch passes out of the backfield - OL must be able to protect Bryce Young, even in obvious passing situations, give him the time he needs to make the right read and throw. - Receivers need to run the right routes. Mingo is a stud but he still has a lot to learn when it comes to route running. I also want to see Laviska used in this last game. That is what I want to see on Friday take a significant step forward. Otherwise, we will struggle to score points this season and worse of all, will hinder Bryce's development as a QB. He must be put in a position to be successful.

And none of us who have been critical of these preseason performances really care that they lost the games. It's that they looked like garbage doing so, especially our offensive line.

You may be right

Let’s just let it randomize 90 mins before. It will be more exciting

2008 incoming

Must have shagged someone’s wife or gf

We better hope Derrick Brown stays healthy all year

He’s going to be a slot guy right? PFF had him ad a top 6 slot CB in NFL last year

Looks like he was expecting a stunt or something. The Jets messed him up mentally

I have never seen Zod get this many poop emojis in less than a week lol

I did but if you’re going to suck at least protect your investment. The offensive line is an embarrassment

If the Panthers can’t shore up the Offensive Line, may need to consider sitting Bryce Young so he: 1. Avoids physical injury 2. Doesn’t get ruined mentally and starts getting happy feet like David Carr or Sam Darnold. One of his main assets is his composure and that won’t stay there if he is running for his life on every pass play.

He won’t do it, too much ego
