This was my thought exactly.

Was wrong. Was thinking of Tuttle for some reason./ 

Maybe slow down when pissing on your team and you wouldn't get it all over your face.

Piling on Stroud or whoever only invites criticism toward our own rookie when he makes mistakes which are going to happen.

This is going to happen anyway. There are more than a few out there who will absolutely have a field day if he has bad day. And if Bryce gets injured at some point, it will be a meltdown from those same people. If Stroud ends the season as the better QB, you don't think panthersGOATfan isn't going to come back in some iteration? I mean, there are already people saying Bryce needs to be basically perfect based on what we spent to trade up for him, and anything less than a record setting performance will be considered a failure.

Without OU he's not in the NFL. It's not claim. That's just a fact BRO. 

It's not a fact until alternate timelines is proven to be a thing that exists and we are able to travel between them. Something that didn't happen in reality can never be a "fact" because it cannot be proven.

The word you are looking for is "belief."

Are you suggesting that Rogers will throw for 5,000 yards this year? Cuz he didn't even break 4,000 last year. 

No it was a random number; just an example to get my point across. Wasn't really saying anything about a specific player. Same can be said for a QB that throws for 2000 yards. Hard to have a bunch of receivers with 1000 yards seasons when the QB only completes 2000 yards worth.

The point: A good QB will elevate his receivers and they will look better on paper. A bad QB is going to bring the receivers down to his level.

Yep, rating is mostly determined by QB and the rest of the team is adjusted accordingly LOL

Aaron Rodgers? Great lets bump everyone else to compensate. Same for Bengal and Bills. 

Tbh, that's kinda how the NFL works. You can't have a QB throw for 5000 yards without your pass catchers also getting 5000 yards. A good QB makes their skill positions look better, and vice versa.

Quick, trade him before his value drops anymore!

Bojangles is absolute greasy slop, a fuging embarrassment of a food chain, the last time I ate there was probably 3 years ago and even the damn dirty rice was greasy.  How the fug do you make rice greasy?

You don't know how to make dirty rice or what's in it, huh? I agree it shouldn't be greasy though. Someone missing 1 small step in the process.

Finally there is an adult in the room.  Was listening to Sirius earlier while in the car....they said "coaching matters."  This will be a good team and will be very good very soon.

I read somewhere or heard somewhere, may have been on Sirius, that coaching = 30, 40%. Basically a good coach will have 30% more points per game or 30% more wins vs same team with a bad coach. Something along those lines.

The club is especially cognizant of who’s playing center when Young is in.

In comparison to last year, with whatever the hell they were doing.

the belief that things will be different here is what led to Rhule,Darnold , Baker, Cams horrible return,

I tried to sort out that sentence, with more commas then should be in sentence when there is no list involved. Anyway, this section here needs quantified, because I'm reading as "Fans" are the subject of this sentence. Is that correct? As in, "Fan's belief that things will be different here...."

If that is the case, I'm super curious about how Fan's believing something leads to....well, anything tbh. Are you saying hopeful fans is how we ended up with Darnold, and if we were just less optimistic we would have had Mahomes? Is this like a metaphysical thing or something to do with essential oils maybe? I'm just so confused.

This is the same NFL that gave us the Broncos to kick off 2016. Wish I could say I’m shocked but I’m not.

Isn't that fairly common? Idk about an every year thing, but I thought first game of the season being a repeat of the super bowl happens very often.

We were a career day from Mike Evans away from winning the division and we’ve only exponentially improved. The bare bones of Pj Walker, Sam Darnold, limited Steve Wilks and absolutely useless Matt Rhule (smaller part to McAdoo) away from a playoff berth. I’m sorry but I just have a hard time buying into the other NFCS teams. And I’m not one to get overly confident or cocky. I think we’re gonna be in for a treat..

I'm expecting the team to not look so great at the beginning of the season with great improvement by the end of the year.

Would be great to start off the season with a win anywhere. It's been a while.

2021 vs the Jets.

I wouldn't have used Darnold for SF personally. I don't think that's really fair. Trey Lance is supposed to be good to go by training camp I believe. I highly doubt Darnold will beat him out.

This is supposed to fun. Entertainment even. Why bother if it just makes you miserable?

I was actually kinda surprised to hear Tremble's age. Dude is still very, very young. He had to have been barely 20 when he was drafted.

Shortly after 8 p.m. ET Thursday, Roger Goodell announced the start of the draft as Fitterer, Reich, the Teppers and all the Panthers coaches and scouts watched on TV. The league had asked that they wait at least five minutes.

I was wondering why we waited.

I've heard they didn't like when the Jags turned in Trevor Lawrence's name so quickly in that draft.

I think some folks are waaaay over thinking this.

I wonder how early is to early to start calling guys?  Would a guy take it as an insult if you call late five or early six about FA.  

Idk how early exactly, but definitely in the 6th teams are calling. Pretty much have to to get a leg up on other teams also calling. Teams are trying to get guys locked in as UDFA's before other teams get their claws in em.

I love, absolutely love the mingo pick but goddamn that shouldnt send fitt and co into a damn death spiral of desperation in trying to get a DE.   Just take the lump and move on down the road. 

This I agree with every word. Was not getting a a random EDGE in this draft really the end of the world? I just don't think it was necessary to panic.

I don't like the move. If you are going to trade up, do it for someone you really really want or bpa. This feels very out of character for Fitt. I'm guessing he was the last guy at the position on their board and they said f it. All in all I don't care, but seems like a dumb move.

I hope we just pick best available. Some strong TE’s left too

Did Kincaid or Mayer go last night?

There is no QB in this draft who should have been taken in the 1st round.

Last year's draft proves you wrong. People aren't taking 2nd round QB's in the top 10 willy nilly. If that was the case, last year's draft would have gone very, very different.

I've been hearing witherspoon or Gonzalez to Seattle all week, so I guess I'm not surprised. Though many folks may be surprised that Pete Carrol didn't take Carter.
