They said that about how smart Bryce was last year and we all saw what happen to the great football IQ he had.

Owner hired an inept college coach to run the team which was the start. Then tired to rebuild the team as the Seahawks did by using lower tier players and didn't get the same results. Then didn't take an offer to trade Burns which was a sweet heart of a deal. Can't bungle your way to the top now days.

We been down that road way too many times in our history.

Preseason will let us know how well the team will do. I already said they would win 2 to 3 games more over last year. If they do that is a successful year. Any more is an outstanding year.

Did use any excuses we plainly sucked. How many dropped balls did he put into the receivers hands last year. He had had his shares of throw aways, but it seems his catchers couldn't catch either.

If they had been good at their jobs the computer wouldn't have taken their job. How many times have they had to check replay to get the mark right.

Waiting to see what the preseason looks like. We will know by game two if he is better than last year.

Bar was set high last year with Young coming in and what did it get us. Handling the Bears the #1 pick in this years draft. If we get over 5 wins it is nothing more than gravy.

5 wins would be a great year for this team after what happen last years.

what you didn't mention did they get players that understood the 3-4 defense better than the players they lost. Since they were mostly 4-3 players. This we won't know until the season starts.

8 wins is a pipe dream. 3 to 5 is more like it.

what if he only wins 3 to 5 games. Has 3 to 5 games where we are in the game but lose at the end, improves his footwork, QBR, yards per pass, and learns to escape better than hanging on to the ball as he waits for an open receiver. Would that make you feel better or improving enough to give him another year at QB.

How many games or close wins would it take. 3 to 5 wins and maybe 3 to 5 close loses to say we are moving forward. To me I need to see how he works with the OC, improves on his footwork, a QBR better than 33.4%, better than a 5.5 yards per pass, and being able to get the ball out of his hands instead of trying to hang on while his receivers are trying to get open.

The fans had to have Byrce starting. The only way he could learn the game. When we have seen in the past sometimes sitting a 1st round QB can be just as fruitful as starting him. We saw what Dalton could do with the same line up Byrce had and he came within a whisker of pulling it out.

I am too. Then we can see how good Bryce is really is or how really bad he is. Seems the 2025 QB's aren't a great lot. If we end up in the top 3 we might be able to get a shut down Corner.

I was quoting anyone. I was just asking if we got any "A" players in this draft. The best I saw were players being graded in the "B or C" range. Just asking a question.

Did we get any A players from the draft? All I've seen are B and C players. Even our 1st rd draftee was a B-.

I would like to see the team pick a Cornerback, Wide Receiver, and or an Edge. Doesn't matter what order, More than likely it will be a WR and CB as our 2 2nd Rd choices. With an Edge or TE being the 3rd pick.

People say he would be a better at nickel. It is a need but not at 33. If we going to take a CB it should be someone who is better across from Horn. Not a every down CB.

Although we can use a star Nickel like Stinnott we need a CB first then maybe a nickel. We got killed way too many times on 3rd and middle yardage plays last year which turned into first downs.

Canales will be looking at the next crop of QB's in case Young fails as he did in year one. I won't say Young will be pulled quickly cause Tepper is going to give him every chance to be the Number 1 QB in Carolina, but if he flops. I see another QB picked next year to give him competition. We also need to see if the new OL additions are going to perform to what we paid them or will we be disappointed again and watch Young running for his life as the walls come crashing in as last year. The first 5 games are going to be interesting.

Do we need a Nickel or a 2nd CB who can complement Horn. If he is a good Nickel maybe 3rd round.

They have no choice since they fired Wright in mid season. Maybe with the new staff in place and at least two years of the same coaching we can see what we have. We will know if Tepper made the wrong choice when the team made the choice to go after Young instead of Stroud. We might have had a win or two more with Stroud last year, but we still wouldn't have had our number 1 pick for this year either.

We will have the a first round pick next year. As the saying goes..."SUCK IT UP BUTTERCUP!" We had a chance and we blew it to keep Burns, and what did it get us. A low performance player for last season and a 2nd and 5th rd picks this year. Tepper gambled and lost.

30 million no he isn't since he didn't play at full speed last year. Give him a 2 or 3 year with an option to talk after year two. Brown is coming up next year is he not.
