Anyone losing sleep over Diontae Johnson is beyond help. The Steelers certainly aren't missing anything.

Well that and they have simply hired young capable and innovative people and are letting those people do their jobs. They know when to pull back and that's what they're doing. They also aren't trying to make everything about them placing themselves front and center. What a sad state of affairs the Panthers are in comparison.

Looking good so far. What I love to see is they have a lot of fight in them. Guys are playing hard for each other and their new head coach. LaMelo is definitely stepping up. Even Nick Richard's showed some grit out there. Tre Mann has been a great addition. It's very nice to have a local team worth watching.

So looking back to week 1 when the Saints basically destroyed any hope anyone had left for Bryce's career and we thought their roster was actually for real. It's interesting fast forwarding to now and the Saints defense is 32 out of 32 in total defense according to Fox Sports. Now he's facing a team that's 3rd in total defense on the road in Denver. Ohh wee mayne.

I have to say it doesn't exactly inspire much confidence in Morgan that he's been desperate to ink this guy to an extension while he throws the rest of his team under the bus and mails it in. Haven't we seen this story before? Sounds a lot like Scott Fitterer to me.

When people say things like this my literal reaction is: Bryce Young could not be more different from Mayfield and Darnold. Neither Baker nor Sam have to take ridiculously long drop backs to survey the field or stand on their tiptoes to see. Also neither of them would have missed 2 open receivers right next to each other at the goal line in the red zone because they couldn't see around their right tackle.

He truly looks like he is absolutely over being a QB in the NFL. The bag has already been secured.

Sounds like a rare instance where the Panthers are being saved from giving a contract they'll later regret anyways.

Clearly the locker room isn't in a good place right now but he's the only Panthers player I've seen to publicly badmouth the rest of the team. He basically said he can't play every position on the field. While also taking no accountability. Like I said. This is why he was available.

The last few weeks have shown why he was sent out of Pittsburgh for little more than a sub sandwich. He thinks he's one of the best receivers in the league and he's a poo teammate. Good riddance.

Sprained thumb? I thought that was a joke at first. Just too on the nose for this franchise. Alright Bryce. On with the shitshow...

Bulworth.

The revisionist history with Baker and Carolina is exhausting. Were the Panthers bad? Yes. But that was a different Baker with us. He was still the same cocky asshole as he was in Cleveland. Remember the t shirts he was pushing on social media before the Browns game? He was humbled with us. Mightily. That more than anything is the catalyst that led to him switching up everything and becoming a better competitor a better teammate and a better leader.

At first glance it sounds random all things considered. But Charlotte drivers are absolutely horrendous. Glad to hear no one was seriously hurt.

Sir. Steve Wilks football team was wiped off the field 35-0 by the Bengals by halftime and he had both a better defensive roster and the QB that the Buccaneers are now successfully competing in our division and the overall NFC with. Idk how you guys don't tire of comparing failures. But my preference is turning the page. To each his own though.

The fact that this actually sounds like a breath of fresh air is quite sobering.

At this point there are undoubtedly things going on behind the scenes we aren't privy to. We can only make assumptions. But I do think it is safe to say the fact we still won't go back to him speaks volumes in itself. Seems to be a matter of when they officially move him not if. I've been waiting to see Bryce Young play well for over a year now. I'd have loved to see it. If anyone out there is holding out some bizarre hope that he will suddenly turn into a franchise QB one game this season I don't have a response to that because it is quite literally an insane notion. There's no delicate way I can put that. We don't need to start Bryce to get the first pick this season. I think the highest we are going is 2nd. We are that bad from top to bottom.

We're getting the first pick regardless man. We are the worst team by a significant margin.

What exactly are you hoping to see? Xavier Legette plainly told you after Bryce was benched what he was looking forward to. The deep ball. It doesn't exist with Bryce Young. He came into the game against the Commanders down 33 points with absolutely nothing to lose in that game or his NFL career to this point and tossed a pass behind the line of scrimmage and went back to the sideline. That's your first overall pick.

He's already gone brother. You don't bench him the way they did and talk about things the way they do without making it abundantly clear that is indeed the case. There's no hate for either QB. They both stink. The team stinks. The roster has thrown in the towel. We're dead in the water for the time being. Bryce Young won't be here near season and at this point Andy probably won't either. We need to fully reset the QB room and from there rebuild this thing from the ground up.

Sir. Your takes are definitely lining up with your avatar. Just saying. Bryce Young entered a game down 33 points. Threw for negative yardage and capping it off with a throw behind the line of scrimmage on third down. He's as toast as Dalton only 13 years younger and significantly smaller.

Everyone here is frustrated. But you have to move forward using some level of sound logic and rational thinking. Just resetting the entire roster and trading off everyone for any pick you can get isn't necessary. The cupboards are bare. We are already in the midst of a youth movement. Just need to keep adding more youth and if Canales doesn't show signs of improvement by next season you consider a change. Same with Morgan. There is a possibility Canales doesn't last the season but doing so will only result in a worse hire in the short term we all need to understand that no matter how frustrated we are.

Wilks isn't coaching in the NFL. Wilks bread and butter was a strong run game and an opportunistic defense. Against the Commanders we could not move the ball on a 4th and 1 after investing $150 million in the interior of our OL. We would still be getting our asses handed to us with Wilks coaching. Please end this automatic cope reflex already.

There is merit behind both responses here. I think it boils down to the return. Unless we are getting a literal haul worth drooling over just stay put and draft the best player on the board.

Mayfield is looking like the Baker we know well.
