  1. How about the two gift INTs that the Saints dropped?
  2. Recency bias (and fan bias) but he absolutely tanked the Panthers franchise in just 3 Drafts. Hired in 2021, fired before the 2024 Draft. Players that are still on the team (starters highlighted): Horn, Christensen, Tremble, Hubbard, Ekwonu, Barno, Mays, Young, Johnson, Zavala. That's horrific.
  3. The OLine is already built. You have young (and apparently decent) weapons at both starting WR spots, TE and RB. I mean sure we need a pass rush and a whole host of defenders, but the O is ready to slot a competent QB in to. The D is going to take multiple Drafts to fix. Prime Warren Sapp / Ray Lewis / Ed Reed wouldn't fix the defence as it's currently constructed. Too many awful players.
  4. The second Suleiman was giving interviews talking about Draft prospects I knew we were in trouble. You're a cap guy, my dude.
  5. He threw one like that against Cal too - just one of those "what in the actual fug are you thinking?" throws. He then throws a dart to Restrepo on the goalline where the CB is playing a trap coverage, but the ball is out so quickly that the CB can't get there to make a play on it. I've learned to live and die by his gunslinger attitude.
  6. I'm clearly stating that Ward is a scouting anomaly. He's on pace with Burrow right now and, as much as it pains me to say it, he doesn't have the supporting cast Burrow did.
  7. That's a reasonable reaction - if you lose to this Panthers team you deserve to be fired.
  8. You mean like the 0 star QB who had to start his career at Incarnate Word and is on pace to win the Heisman? Who knows what crazy numbers Ward puts up if his team can advance in the Playoffs. He already has over 3k passing yards and 29 TDs.
  9. Only for now? You fairweather whine and cheese fan. You deserve to have your fan card revoked.
  10. He threw up several absolute prayers and should have been picked off twice more. He was bad, but that Saints team was somehow worse. Allen might not leave Charlotte as their HC.
  11. They're probably going to beat Clemson in a few weeks.
  12. I think he gave up on winning the game a while ago - he was trying to keep the score respectable.
  13. Have you watched ANY other games this year? I just suffered through Georgia v Florida. It was a literal pillow fight.
  14. I'd argue best O in the nation - certainly the best O in the ACC. Best RB room, best OL room, best TE room. Arguably the best WR room too. We have the best DL room in the ACC too, for what it's worth.
  15. The defence gave up 3 points (and realistically should have pitched a shutout in the second half if Diaz had any balls and went for it) in the second half. We went on a 34-3 run. It's not a good defence (because the secondary isn't very good [or they're very young]), but it just needs to get a few stops a game and we win. And if you ask me the O has had a few off days already - there's just so many ways we can beat you that we score enough anyway.

  17. I think it's the opposite. It's the NFL adapting to what the College players are able to run, rather than picking up on their innovation. I'm sure loads of OCs hate operating primarily from the Shotgun because it literally halves your playbook, but for most College QBs that's all they've ever known. I'm sure someone has run the numbers on the percentage of plays from Shotgun in the NFL and its rise - I bet it's startling, it's the base formation now.
  18. There's a lot of truth to this - albeit it's not just about a push for athletic QBs. The hyper focus on winning has lead to simpler and simpler offences taking hold in High School and College - ones that stress the defence vertically and horizontally. Some of that involves Read Option plays (and therefore the more athletic QBs), but it's generally simply about 'spreading' out the defence and making reads and throws as easy as possible for the QB. The problem is that as the level of athletes on defence improve as you progress up the pyramid and the amount of time they have to game plan and practice increases, these reads and throws become more and more difficult until eventually you're left with guys sat on NFL rosters who simply can't read a coverage or recognise a blitz. Obviously Bryce is the holy trifecta of not being able to read a coverage, read a blitz or make the required throw.
  19. Might as well keep him for the season at that price.
  20. He genuinely looks like if you grabbed a 22 year old fan out of the stands and handed him the football. He's small, he's slow, he doesn't know the plays, he can't read the field, he can't make the throws, he doesn't want to get hit - it's actually astounding to watch.
