Just outside the top 10 for Allar. I haven't delved too much into it myself, but suffice to say, I am not thrilled with this class. I don't see the intrigue with either Allar or Beck. I'll pass on the Sanders circus altogether. The rest needs too much development to peg as a #1 guy for at least a couple of years. Either that or the perfect team to match their skill set a la Brock Purdy.

Now he has time figure out the number of daily massages he can get with that $240 million before the money runs out. What? Too soon?

I'm old enough to remember when about half the Huddle wanted us to trade for Watson. Thank goodness only the Browns are, as much, or more inept than Tepper's Panthers organization. I recall the breaking point wasn't the years or the overall contract money, but the guaranteed money. If Tepper has done one thing correct since torpedoing this proud organization into the abyss, it was realizing a fully guaranteed multi-year contact isn't the best idea. But damn if he didn't give it a go, before the stakes got too high.

I could have waited several days and ruined your weekend. Better to rip the bandage off on a Monday and move on with the rest of the week.

I politely asked Zod to do it once. That's how it got changed from 2022 to 2023.

If this was real proposal and we didn't jump all over it, I would be calling for Morgan's head just Like i did Fitterer's when he turned down the Rams trade for Burns.

Heck, I'd give it a shot. The dude has everything you want but the in-game experience (reps) and understanding for the game at the pro level. The first I think has created the deficiency in the second. If he can stay healthy had get the pro game to click between the ears, the dude could be a stud.

As of right now, late October, I have the QBs stacked like: 1) Ward 2) Ewers 3) Sanders 4) Milroe 5) Dart 6) Gabriel 7) Howard 8 ) McCord 9) Beck 10) Rourke Ward I would take in the top 10 ONLY in a trade down. Ewers and Sanders I would take in round two, but obviously they won't be there. From Milroe on down I would take a flyer pick in the 3rd round or later.

I wouldn't be mad at Cam Ward, but this team is full dumpster fire mode and drafting a rookie is setting him up for failure. The rest of the QBs in this draft are at best backups outside of Ewers and he's going to need at least a year to sit before he's ready. Ewers is not worthy of a top 10 pick even though a desperate team will take him that high.

Yup, I had the game on yesterday, but was doing things around the house so I would watch in spots. I knew the defense was garbage and did tasks when they were on the field, but at least tried to watch some of our offense. I should have not watched it at all, I might have got more things accomplished although I did get a good bit done.

Don't blame me, I wanted Dallas Goedert in that 2018 draft, who now has 22 TDs and nearly 4000 receiving yards in his career, btw. Thomas barely has 1000 yards and 4 TDs in that same span. A third of those yards and half of his TDs come in his rookie season. So in a little over 5 seasons later, dude has amassed a whopping 600 yards and 2 TDs.

First off, I don't think anyone is calling for Canales to be fired. He's either going to grow into the position or not, but I think he gets 3 years minimum. I'm not going to delve into what is wrong with the team, I don't have all day nor do I want blisters on me fingers from all the typing. Moving on to your last point...I know people are sick of us trading guys, but you are correct, there needs to be a fire sale. We need to dump as much cap as possible, get younger and hoard as many draft picks as we can. Next year should be a real, honest to goodness REBUILD. Not a retool, not a tweak, not build on the fly, but a REAL rebuild.

So as much as a stadium beer. Eat and drink at a tailgate and that's a cheap 3 hours of...entertainment? I wonder how much stadium food gets tossed at the end with seats being so empty? I imagine the team store could be run with just a couple of employees on game days now.

Correct. If you don't understand that train of logic, well then, that's the reason you aren't a billionaire hedge fund manager. Me either, lol.

I would have taken any of those guys over Canales. Canales wasn't ready, period, here or anywhere else. I get the high energy, but we don't need a Cheerleader-in-Chief, we need grit. The team would probably get it's arse kicked by a high school girls flag football team. For a team of a bunch of dawgs, they got the mentality of newborn pups.

Moral of the story, Tepper gives a long leash to rookie HCs because they need time, but cans a veteran HC that doesn't have us a playoff contender by mid-season year 1 with a rookie QB. Does everyone got that? If not, you aren't following Tepper logic.

Can we officially stop with the 4th round steal narrative now? Especially as it pertains to TEs?

Point missed. We have looked worse this year all the way around with exception to the OL and now injuries have set in, they even look marginal. My point was Frank should not have got the plug pulled so fast last year, but Tepper will continue to do Tepper things. Frank did more with less and got the axe. Canales shouldn't get fire without a fair shake, but I also think he wasn't the right hire either.

I remember when Frank Reich got fired for getting blown out by 30+ points. Wait....

It's Obvious. I've seen a team quit and they looked better than this.

That's not stopping CBS for constantly showing him.

I've been the biggest cheerleader for trying to get rid of him for MANY years. Maybe if I start pulling for the guy, the Panthers will finally cut him.

A new contract then. it's the Panthers way. We only pay the marginal players and let the good ones walk.

I thought Ian Thomas was a blocking machine?

It was a bad pass and even worse recognition by Sanders.
