He makes the easy ones look routine and makes the harder ones look impossible.

The Falcons are trying their best to give us this game. Will the Panthers accept or say "nah, we're good...winning's not our style."

We can't handle good fortune.

Everyone does this.

I suspected this team to look like they belong in the NFL in the home opener. It should be competitive. We will see if that translates to a win.

Ball placement is superb. no acrobatic catches required. The dude doesn't serve up hospital balls.

I posted twice in this marathon thread: Pretty spot on. I need to confess to you guys...I have a crystal ball. Nah, not really, I just read the tea leaves of the Panthers brass and go the opposite direction. It's insanely accurate.

He only had 1 incompletion last week. He's 40-43 in the past two games 10 passing TDs, 1 tuddy rushing and 0 picks. All this in 6 quarters as he was pulled at halftime last week. Two weeks in a row with QB rating north of 250.

Another stellar performance: Dude has missed 3 passes in the past two games--40 of 43.

It depends with what's on the line. If we are in contention for the #1 overall pick, nah, I can deal with one more loss.

Tampa will have the division locked up and sit their starters in the final game.... we win and it knocks us back several spots in the draft. Yay!!!!

I can have my Sundays freed up again? We're drafting a QB#1 overall in '26? We don't pick up Bryce's 5th year option? Some definite positives as the season goes down in flames.

I've already said this, we've got 3 weeks to get some wins, then it's going to be a long string of L's. After Week 5, the Saints might be only temporarily derailment of the 'L' train the rest of the season.

That sucks, but why keep bringing back a guy who has a long injury history? Being the second game, built-in excuse for a long season. Over/under until this is used as an excuse for a loss by Panthers brass--set at 1.5.

Yes, yes, tell the other team to soft play zone all game and tell Bryce the refs spotted them 21 points and that the NFL made a change calling the entire game the 4th quarter. Then, we should be just dandy!

@ForJimmy--I watched his '24 highlights and there's a lot to like. He's mobile, for certain, but it seems that's his default because he's so good at it. Lots of RPO stuff. He's slippery in the pocket, but too quick to vacate it. I saw very few pocket throws into tight windows, which is the hallmark of an elite QB, especially at the next level. Green is a playmaker, there's no denying that. I thought his arm was adequate to above average. I assumed a big QB like that would have a cannon. Ball placement was also above average. He's an intriguing prospect, but I'm not sure he's going to end up a top 10 prospect and that's where we are most certainly going to be picking. If Sellers doesn't come out, he's probably the next best dual threat QB.

Will do.

They didn't even list Arch. Unless he has a miraculous turnaround, there's 0% chance he comes out. The family won't let a Manning QB be drafted outside of the top 10 I I I need to do a deep dive on Mateer. On the surface, the little I've seen, he seems to be a Baker Mayfield clone. If that's accurate, as long as he doesn't take as long to mature personally and professionally, that may not be a bad option either.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of taking LBs in the top 10. Luke was 1:1,000,000 prospect. That's rare. If we can somehow move back into the late first round, that's usually the sweet spot for the top LBs.

Dude, he's NOT ready. I really like the kid, but are you willing to let this staff try to coach up a kid that clearly needs another year, or two, of college ball under his belt? Why do you want to ruin his career before it starts?

Nope, he does most of his damage in the second half, namely the 4th quarter. I think there was one or two games last year when he started hot in the first half and fizzled in the second half. There's always outliers. That said, if this is what you find acceptable in a franchise QB then brother you have a very low bar for QB1 standards.

Yes, but it's only in these circumstances where he thrives, that's the problem He can't be a true franchise QB and wait until the game is out of reach when the defense goes into prevent defense to finally flip on his baller switch.

Russell Wilson and Daniel Jones are first and second in passing yards, respectively. Stats need context.

I had us at 7 wins originally--what was I thinking??? But lol at the playoff talk before the season by some folks.

Yup, our next 3 games are the most winnable out of the remaining slate with exception tho the two Saints game dotted in later on. If we go into week 6 at 0-5, then it could get REALLY ugly.
