Trying to be competitive seems a pretty decent point. You'd have to trade for someone though, Dalton is absolutely washed.

The blind spot some people have for this guy is insane. Mark Schlereth was making excuses for him all game "You don't know if you have your franchise QB with the WRs they're playing him with. They're hoping to get Coker back, but when you're waiting on an UDFA 2nd year player to get back you have problems". Ignoring the rest of our games, because judging by his knowledge of our players Mark hasn't watched them, every QB in the league would kill for T-Mac (he'd have had another 100+ yard game and a TD with a competent QB): He made a circus catch on that shitty sideline throw He had Gonzalez beat deep on the play where Bryce had a tantrum and smashed his helmet into the ground He prevented a pick 6 when Young threw high and behind him over the middle (wide open by the way) He was wide open for a hole shot that Young completely air mailed Throughout NFL history if you've got a good OLine (it was very good before the injuries), a strong running game, functional WRs/TEs and a star WR you're expected to put up points and be competitive. Apparently the guy we traded three first round picks for still needs MORE for us to be able to accurately judge him. It's infuriating - I feel like I'm living in the Twilight Zone.

That's because everything is an arm throw - his mechanics are awful. He never sets his feet. I gave Newton grief for his poor mechanics, but at least he had natural talent.

That absolutely is not the worst set of WR we've ever run out there. Far from it. T-Mac is really, really good (already). Renfrow is really good if you throw an accurate ball.

I think you need someone that can make every throw in the NFL playbook. Bryce Young cannot do that. Failing that you need a guy that can make MOST throws in the NFL playbook, but can also run - like Jalen Hurts.

The dude must have an iron clad contract because he simply isn't trying to win football games if he runs Bryce Young out there.

They're both very, very young. Scorton, for example, needs to have a plan when his bullrush is anchored down against. He has a spin move, but he needs more. He needs to watch tape of Parsons - learn how a shorter, stocky pass rusher win in the NFL.

I love how you can write players off after a season. Not everyone comes out of the blocks ready to dominate the NFL. Sanders and Wallace have shown improvement (and Sanders wasn't bad at all last year). Legette... yeah he might have mentally checked out, but there's talent there. Even Wade-Smith hasn't embarrassed himself when called upon (3 turnovers so far in his career).

Isn't Richardson only a little smaller than Newton? He needed to sit a year and sort out his footwork. He had the highest ceiling of the three QBs taken. Now you've wasted two years of his development.

Nah, fug that franchise forever. Same with the Broncos. Don't care who owns them or who's the Head Coach.

It's crap, isn't it?

There's no dominant team this year in CFB. It'll all be about who gets hot in December.

You're struggling to hire a coach for $10m.

Wouldn't be surprised if Maema Njongmeta starts getting worked into the rotation.

The Jacksonville run should have been a 7 yard run - Scott missed the tackle.

Can we please stop quoting shills for the organisation?

Oh it's night and day. Besides the DC being much better (they're not having anything like the same communication and lining up issues) they brought in like 7 new DBs, including a few All Americans.

Phew. Let's steer well clear of Carson Beck next year.

LOL the Canes are somehow going to lose this. I'm cursed.

The Panthers cost him $2.275bn. He's rich, but he didn't buy them just for a run-down stadium to play 'soccer' in.

What are his talents?

They haven't left themselves with a viable alternative. Dalton is completely washed. Hooker is bad. Short of trading for a QB I think they just let him play out the season, sadly.

The one where he was swallowed up in the pocket and barely got the ball past the line of scrimmage was startling.

I genuinely don't know where the next win is coming from. 5 wins is ambitious.

Frank Gore says hi. Willis McGahee says hi.
