    lol you don’t understand the saying and that’s ok

     

    If you mean to say 30 is old, just say he’s 30. “The wrong side of” an age means they are on the second half or nearing the end of that age…like 36,37,38,39 are on the wrong side of 30.

     

    a 29 year old isn’t “on the right” side of 30


    might save you embarrassment at a party or something if you’re going to attempt that saying 

    No it doesn't. 

    He's over 30, i.e. "the wrong side of that age". It's a young man's sport.

    Yeah we can definitely afford to make hard passes on elite WRs.

    We have Mingo and TMJ we will absolutely be fine!

    To be fair I'd quite enjoy watching Young try to deal with Diggs having a meltdown on the sidelines.

    He seems more genuine than used car salesman Rhule and more energetic than sleepy Reich. That’s already an upgrade lol

    Eeeeeh. Watch how he addressed the Teppers at the press conference - he was overly effusive and maintained eye contact.

    He's as much a salesman as the rest.

    I merely argue, Ejiro who is a decent coach, is being inflated given how bad everything else was last year. 

    and I think Ejiro nor our new HC have much of a choice about how things are going in 2024.  Tepper paired them.  And Tepper is pairing Jim Caldwell ONCE AGAIN.....to be his eyes and ears.   

    I give this HC 2 years tops.  It's more of the same.  Bad or forced marriages.  We needed a clean slate and new life.   Tepper is just doing another variation of what he did with Frank.....and too many of the people part of the nightmare have been the voices "fixing" things. 

    Well he's been inflated for 2 years then, cos he did a similar job in Denver.

    It's a sensible appointment.

    all depends how you look at it. 

    maybe part of the reason the D sort of oddly stood out in that cherry picked example.....was practically all the defensive players played with the opposing QB just a few short months ago.  Who knows. 

    All I know is, I can't call the 2023 Panthers D top 5 with a straight face.  

    32nd takeaways

    32nd in sacks

    #1 in missed tackles

    30th in pressure %

    29th in points allowed. 

     

    It wasn't Top 5, it was middle of the pack. However talent wise it was dead last. Evero did a very credible job.

    honestly, what I watched did not give me the warm and fuzzies. I fear both Dan and Dave C will be gone in 2 years

    Al Golden gave an amazing introductory press conference at Miami and he couldn't find his ass with two hands and a flashlight.

    Rhule was pretty inspiring too when he got up to the pulpit.

    I'm reserving judgement - I'm not really looking for a great public speaker, just a great talent evaluator and a great leader. That doesn't show in a press conference.

    Agree 100%.  Seen it written by multiple guys in the know that the reason our d was ranked as high was the opposing teams didn't need to run the score up due to our pathetic offense.  They could very comfortably sit on a small lead.

    Yes, cos the NFL is certainly known as being merciful...

    No offense to Dave Canales, but how do you not at least try to get Ben Johnson? 😕

    I can only assume that Johnson made it clear in / after his first interview that he wasn't interested in the job. If we're demanding that Young is our starter in 2024 then most established candidates will look elsewhere.

    Also I think people get way too tied up in good playcalling O/DCs being good HCs. It's an entirely different skillset.

    The ads from Mahomes / Kelce…. I mean this is nauseating

    I don't understand marketing companies. 

    Kelce and Mahomes are literally everywhere - the marketing companies have made people hate them. The same thing happened with Rodgers and P. Manning. They've oversaturated the market.
