Can't count on busted coverage like that all the time. Two Cowboys took Thielen and two took XL. Nobody took Coker would literally just ran straight down the field.

Ugh, what an ugly game. Is this the NFL or the XFL?

Rain is moving in from the southwest. More of a mist than deluge. Still miserable though. I live southwest of Charlotte and it's a lite rain, gloomy and breezy. Not the day to be sitting outdoors for 3 hours.

It makes perfect sense. He's playing differently now than in the past. Stroud has been playing the same way for nearly two years. Bryce looked horrible/lost last year and the first two games and got benched for a while. Again, defenses will adapt to how Bryce has adjusted his play. It may not happen the last few games as we face some bad defensive teams, but I can see it next season for sure when not facing bottom of the League defenses.

Neither team can stop the run. Cold and possible wet conditions, I don't expect the ball to be tossed around a lot.

The film will catch up to Bryce.

He's a reserve for the Steelers because they are actually deep.. Imagine the amount of tackles he would have in our defense that can't stop the rush. I have no doubt WAY more than Wallace. Point remains, they veered away from a healthy dude because of past injuries and actually drafted a dude with a serious one at the time. STUPID.

Took Brooks who was injured during the draft, but wouldn't touch Payton Wilson who was actually healthy because of his injury history. Complete Panthers logic.

True, but what I got out of the clip of the interview was Bill wanted to be seen like a Bama, but not just sending blue chip guys to the League, but damn near finished products. How that mentality is going to go over with Gen Z kids will remain to be seen. I can't see Bill patting guys on the back and hugging it out after their feelings have been hurt. I have sneaking suspicion he's going to Bobby Knight himself sooner rather than later.

I heard a radio clip this morning and this was just prior to him accepting, that his main goal is get them ready for the NFL. Sounded bitter that kids weren't better prepared for the NFL. Sure he talked about graduation rates and making them into men...yada, yada, but the whole making them pro-ready stuck out. Again, it seemed like he had some pent up resentment in having to develop rookies. He basically surmised that college is a NFL farm system, informally, but Bill said it out loud and meant it.

As if non-UNC homers needed any more reason to loathe the baby blue. It's a perfect match! Maybe Tom Brady can head up the booster club.

First round is BPA, period, regardless of position. We are too poor of a franchise to be saying "we're good" at any, repeat ANY position. We can easily move on from bookmarks like Sanders a Blackshear. Super easy, no sweat. Chuba is playing like an above average back. He's not, nor ever will be a Jonathan Stewart, DeAngelo Williams or CMC. He's more of a Nick Goings or Anthony Johnson. Sure, he'll get you 1000 yards in a season, but is that the best we can do? I agree Brooks is done. We won't give up on him in the near term, but penciling him in for a roster spot in 2025 would be a colossal blunder.

Actually he was a body catcher and the reason I wasn't as high on him as some. If he somehow feel to us in the 2nd round, I would have been fine with him. I did not have a first round grade on him due to body catching and route running being insufficient.

Never take a guy in the first round that's a body catcher as a WR. I'd take a slower and shorter WR that's got super glue for hands over a tall and fast guy with hands of stone. That said, I wanted McConkey.

Best chance for a win the rest of the season.

Very possible. He's good at identifying needs, but so far lacks identifying the talent. He nailed nearly every position last draft we needed, but I would have got a different player at that position nearly every time.

Well, Morgan jumped the gun with Chuba, IMO. Maybe by the time Young is up for his contract we could trade Hubbard. I think Brooks career is already over. It's sad and I hate it or him, but he's got a slim to no chance of bouncing back. I wish him well. That said, thinking he's our future is really bad planning.

Lol, that made my season!!! If we can't win, basking in the Falcon's misery is a close second.

Seriously, I wouldn't hate it. We have the OL now and add a generational RB? Probably the one thing that would 100% save Bryce Young.

I like safety, but not before the 3rd round. We have too many other needs. Safety is like the FB of the defense. It has it's place, but the front 7 and top 3 corners are WAAAAY more important.

That's how I saw it. Solid OL play and AT looking like a seasoned veteran. I can't argue with that one bit.

You don't, PERIOD!!!! For every diamond in the rough that hits, there are D-O-Z-E-N-S that fail. It's never worth the risk. The higher the draft pick crap shoot, the worse you will inevitably look.

Hey, at least we stuck it to Jerry Jones....am I right???????? Don't leave me hang'n!!!

Morgan Magic!!!!

Solid offensive line play is the main reason for his resurgence. I'm still in the wait and see camp. I'm pretty sure I know how this plays out long term. People are captured in the moment and not thinking long term. Remember, Bryce is still on his rookie contract and we can divert resources elsewhere, for NOW...like the OL. I could be wrong be wrong , but I have a felling we Daniel Jones this thing before it's all said and done.
