Hasn't Tua just signed a big contract? That could be a career ender.

The crazy thing is he was the consensus #1 in the media frenzy leading up to the Draft. I thought I was taking crazy pills. Everything he struggles with now was all over his film - weak arm, small, slow, couldn't see the middle of the field. To me you pass on him for a more 'traditionally sized' QB and just hold your hands up if he lives up to the unsustainable hype. Instead we tried to be the smartest man in the room and went against all convention.

I did the opposite when we lost to Arizona a couple of years ago. Still never forgiven the team for it.

Defences don't scheme against him - he can't complete routine NFL throws. They just play their base packages and laugh.

He didn't sign off on the HC and GM hires, he INTERVIEWED them.

Tepper's meddling lead us to hire Canales and Morgan - D tier hires at best. He's also clearly instructed said D tier hires to double down on Young. So yes.

Haha, Derrick took one look at the team in live action and thought "Imma sit this one out".

The OLine is sensational - albeit incredibly expensive.

Worked for Carroll in Seattle for a long time.

Brown is the only high dollar defensive player. This unit has been gutted and all of the resources invested in the offence (what we've paid those two OGs is obscene). There's very little NFL talent on that side of the ball this season.

Above NFL average? My dude, what tool does he have that is even NFL average?

What NFL offence does Bryce fit? Serious question.

Pretty much.

If you take away all of the intangibles (Draft position, what we gave up for him etc) I suspect he'd look the worst out of all of the QBs in Panthers history on a practice field. Weinke, Walker et al could throw it. He's certainly the worst QB in Panthers history that's received an extended look. If he was a 3rd round pick he'd have been cut already.

Plummer isn't an NFL level QB either.

"So the game plan is to routinely ask him to make NFL throws - if you can force him to make an NFL throw across the middle of the field it's a 50/50 whether it's an incompletion or an INT, so prioritise those". They must giggle in the film room the week before they play the Panthers.

This result has been coming all offseason. They doubled down on the QB that most saw couldn't compete at this level and stripped the defence (which was already a poor unit - Evero just worked miracles) to do it. Now you have a lot of money / Draft picks invested in the OLine / RB / WR rooms and nothing left over for the defence. The Saints moved the ball at will today and they're far from the best offence we'll play this season. It's going to be a blood bath.

He's a multi-millionaire. Why would you feel bad for him? He's literally stealing a living and is set up for life.

Addition by subtraction.

Dabo is the only reason that program is relevant. Unfortunately now that everyone can pay players he's lost his fastball.

Nah, he plays a LOT of zone, so he'll want big, rangy CBs who can tackle and take the ball away. He played the hand he was dealt with last season - Donte Jackson, Henderson et al can't tackle for poo.

We fuging wish we were Seattle - 1 losing season in over a decade.

Mediocrity.

To be fair he is shite.

If I was the owner this would be my Litmus test. If you don't cut Thomas I cut you as a GM.
