The historical physical outlier thing was really perplexing then and is even moreso now. I don't want it to be true but with the way Tepper treated Newton on his way out the door the first time and how bitter that debacle became I think it was motivated in some way by a need to try and go in a direction from top to bottom the complete opposite of Cam Newton so that they could put him in the rearview. Now I know some people will say that sounds crazy but we know that Tepper is an extremely arrogant individual. Cam's shadow has and still does loom quite large. All along Tepper's been huffing his own farts thinking because he has been massively successful financially he could be successful running a football team. He wanted Bryce Young to be the polar opposite. No longer outspoken and outwardly confident and flashy. Instead mild mannered quiet humble and able to blend in with everyone else. He got what he wanted.

Correct. He and his wife are insufferable. I'll root for Darnold before Stafford at this point. And that's saying something.

Interception. That's about it. Maye is a likeable kid so I'm more indifferent to the Patriots now. I'm just glad not to see the combination of Sean Payton and the Broncos in another Super Bowl.

Lmfao another missed kick

Pretty rare that you're going to be in a playoff game where the score is 10-7 late in the fourth.

History has shown time and time again you don't need the #1 pick to get your QB. The trade was all about Tepper's arrogance and needing to be in the news cycle.

In near blizzard conditions just go for it. Especially the way Maye has been running.

NO GOOD hahahahaha

Flea flicker and they ran it to perfection oy vey

Yeah tumbling down the draft board certainly isn't ideal but this is where a guy like Tillis should come in and earn his money. Between the two of them and all this time and money we've put into PFF if they can't get it done we're boned anyways.

This thread has been on the first page for nearly an entire week now and simultaneously you've got folks bumping years old Darnold threads and swearing it isn't about Bryce lol.

I hear you. I'm just hoping that we can fill in the roster more for a better balance and still find our way back to the playoffs somehow. Gotta start with nailing this upcoming draft. This offseason will make or break Dan Morgan.

Comparatively Teddy Bridgewater is basically the best QB we've started in 6 years. And that was with Matt Rhule whom everyone agrees was a trashcan and a conman. The consistent theme under the ownership of the Tepper's has been us hiring bad coaches and largely making bad personnel decisions. You pretending like you didn't bump this with the intent of carrying water for your guy in some capacity is just ridiculous. Cmon.

That's valid. Then you've got the Tepper's in the mix. I agree with you. Too many cooks in the kitchen either way. Let's hope we nail this upcoming draft. Looking at the division around us trending upward the stakes are very high. Certainly can't count on luck again with the 2026 opponents.

NO GOOD LACES OUT

Maybe but if it's the Broncos you can never rule out the impact of the refs.

To be honest with you. And I like Horn on a personal level. The prevailing reason he is a Panther is because he played for South Carolina. We've done this multiple times now coveting players because of their local ties. We seem to prioritize this.

I despise him but Sean Payton is certainly a good offensive mind and he can get results out of some seriously mediocre QB's.

@TrevorLaurenceTime22 As if you aren't intimately familiar with everyone here

Well that first Broncos drive came and went in an instant. What a shame.

The poster who bumped the thread has gone out of his way to be vocally defensive of Bryce Young for years. Try to keep up or don't quote me.

You bumped a thread from 4 years ago about throwing downfield but this isn't about Bryce Young....

Priorities ILB - High draft pick and FA signing Edge - Veteran FA signing C - Draft pick or FA. We cannot let our depth at the position return to days of yesteryear with Bryce Young at QB. It will end terribly. TE - FA signing As far as backup QB's go I think we should all prepare for the QB room to be kept largely intact. I don't like it or agree with it but that's the likely outcome.

One QB has led teams to 14 wins and 15 wins in consecutive seasons and an actual human being is arguing a QB who was swept by the rebuilding Saints led by a rookie 2nd round pick is more clutch.

Also. For all the criticism of Teddy Bridgewater being a checkdown king and rarely throwing downfield he was 15th in yards per attempt the one season he played here. Compare that to Bryce who just finished the season 30th in yards per attempt.
