Rodgers did not look good last season. He became a checkdown king and afraid to throw into tight windows. While his padded numbers still look decent, he actually had the worst year of his career since he took over for Brett Favre in 2007. He had career lows in yards per completion (10.6) and QBR (39.3). He's on a downward trajectory and I don't think he'll suddenly find his groove with the Jets.

Any Reid and Doug Pedersen were also fired. Look at them now.

https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/2023/06/07/panthers-offseason-jason-mccourty-frank-reich-bryce-young-jets-aaron-rodgers/ After 18 years with one franchise, a four-time Most Valuable Player, four-time First-team All-Pro, 10-time Pro Bowler, Super Bowl champion and future Hall of Fame quarterback was traded—and to “The Big Apple,” no less. So, that was undoubtedly the biggest move of the offseason, right? Not according to Jason McCourty, who believes that honor belongs to the Carolina Panthers. The former safety and current co-host of Good Morning Football was asked if Aaron Rodgers’ trade to the New York Jets will end up being the most impactful acquisition of the spring. While he does love himself some A-Rod, McCourty said the Panthers’ additions of head coach Frank Reich and quarterback Bryce Young will have a greater effect in the grander scheme of things. “I’m gonna say the Panthers getting Frank Reich and the first overall pick will be the biggest offseason move,” he stated. “You look at the Carolina Panthers a year ago—Matt Rhule’s the head coach. Matt Rhule is fired. Steve Wilks takes over. You remember Robbie Chosen, Robbie Anderson—he gets into a blowout on the sideline, he’s walking into the locker roomduring the game. “So the Panthers—with where they were last season to where they are now—getting a head coach in Frank Reich, now getting Bryce Young as their quarterback. This, to me, can be the offseason move of the future where you’re just like, ‘My goodness.’ You look at the Panthers over this past year, the trajectory that they’re on, where they’re going to be—this could’ve been the biggest move of the offseason. Them getting that first overall pick so early on and having a head coach to develop their next young quarterback.” And that, not so coincidentally, was Carolina’s plan all along. The hiring of Reich, a former quarterback and heralded offensive play caller, was partly inspired by the franchise’s recent woes under center. Plus, powering your way to the top of the draft board to pick any rookie passer you want is a pretty effective way to fix that position as well. So while Rodgers may make his presence felt more than any newcomer in 2023, it may be Reich and Young who run with the ball for years to come.

Soccer players are impacted adversely too so let’s not throw them under the bus.

Tepper literally agreed last year to change the field back to grass for one game vs Chelsea because top European soccer clubs refuse to let their players play on turf

Soccer players don’t like turf either, so I’m not following your logic. Tepper made it clear the turf was so they can have concerts and not have to worry about the effect on the grass field

Nice to see that Bills owner gets it while Tepper still prioritizes the bottom line over his players’ wellbeing Bills plan grass field for new stadium After half a century on artificial turf, the Bills are making plans to play on grass. The Bills had their groundbreaking ceremony at their new stadium on Monday, and afterward General Manager Brandon Beane said the stadium will have a grass field. “Another positive is it’s going to be grass,” Beane told Pat McAfee. “We have these debates of turf vs. grass, so that was one of the big things we pushed for. It’s going to be grass like Lambeau has, have all that coil underneath to keep the field warm. So, very excited about that.” Most NFL players prefer grass fields, and the players’ union has argued that all fields should be grass. Owners tend to prefer artificial turf for its versatility in bringing other events to stadiums. Beane said that unlike many of the modern stadiums that have been built with the idea of attracting concerts and other major events that are easier to stage on artificial surfaces, the new stadium in Buffalo is being built with football in mind. “It’s really going to be built football-based,” he said. The Bills’ current stadium has always used artificial turf, since it first opened in 1973. The new stadium with the grass field is expected to be ready for use in 2026.

I can't wait to see this kid in action. Super pumped. Is it August yet?

Deal.Go look up meaning of probability and outcomes

Geez it’s like arguing with a toddler. So we should have drafted a QB in the sixth round haha. You don’t understand the concept of probability and you’re focused on outliers. Go study statistics and learn something.

I think it's you who's acting like we say "we know". All this is about predictions and probabilities. Literally definition of probability is likelihood and you're saying that the probability ("equal chance") of them being good / bad is the same. You make no sense man. If the probability was equal then drafting the next available at #9 vs. #1 would have the same chance of success and that just isn't the case. We don't know if Bryce Young will be a franchise QB but he has a much higher probability of success than a Will Levis or Anthony Richardson, and a marginally better probability than CJ Stroud.

You sound ridiculous. If this was true then why did we trade up?

Wrong again, I never was high on Levis so you should name names or otherwise you’re just being a douche

And your lazy answer is just cowardice. What’s the point of debate if you say that all four of those have an equal chance of being good. I have seen what I have seen from Levis. He has some ego and mental issues which will hinder his development. His tape at Kentucky doesn’t lie.

I would have been OK with Richardson at #9. I think he has a better chance of developing than mental case Levis.

In addition to Bryce being the franchise quarterback, it also depends if Fields actually develops into one. He showed some flashes last year but not consistently as a passer. While DJ is a good receiver he won’t necessarily bail out poor QB play. We saw it here last year.

You mean like with Matt Corral behind a third string line and with third string wideouts? Lol

I don’t see his game being similar, maybe Jay Cutler at best. I don’t think he has the mentality to be a good QB. He will fold under pressure and make bad decisions

That is true, but being able to speculate is half the fun. I could be wrong, but I don't know that I've ever felt more confident about a QB being a bust like I am with Will Levis.

ok, safe space guy I was never on the we're better without CMC bandwagon and I still want him to have a HOF career even in SF. I don't even mind his comments about culture and organization, it is what it is. To me it was more of him being in a better situation than saying anything negative about Carolina.

I don’t. I want all the other teams to suck lol

Lol you’re projecting your own insecurities. I am not defensive about anything just having fun with this. I don’t care if someone criticizes or makes fun of our players. It’s par for the course

Darnold had a good college career. Will Levi's game tape at Kentucky last season is mostly terrible.

Who cares about your virtue signaling. I don't like his attitude and think he's a bust. That's what fan forums are for. I'm not picketing in front of his house and heckling him or his family. If you don't like it, go find a safe space

Glad we dodged this bullet had we stayed at #9
