From what I have seen so far, it appears to be the Saints. Carr may light it up over there. The Falcons are 2nd in line. Running game will be improved. Hopefully we can overtake the Bucs (if Mayfield shats the bed).

Saints, Falcons, Panthers, Bucs....

Don't see playoffs this year. The fun begins next season with a few more pieces and a year under Bryce's belt.

Wat u got?

 

Atl, NO, TB, Car. Atl a good qb away from being scary on O.

Fitt is only good at his job via the perspective that he didn't actually do anything and was wallpaper in Matt Rhule's office his entire time. 

Well said. 

I'm glad to see people recognizing how much Tepper sucks.  Fitterer doesn't have a good track record either.

Cut Corral and bring him home. It'll please the size bros too

Who? I think Bailey Zappe > Corral for what it's worth. 

Our draft came and went with Bryce Young being taken in the final round by a Bama homer and not one wr being taken. I'm going to drop add tomorrow and pick up Thielen. Don't want any other wrs (maybe Mingo as a long play hold) or that defense. What are your thoughts on fantasy possibilities for Bryce, TE, WR's?

And the prior two games he completed 68%. Now completion percentage is a Teddy Bridgewater stat, and doesn’t mean much to me, but it is indicative of a QB who, indeed IS putting the ball in “the same zip code as his receivers.”

Exactly. I feel like a lot of people hate Corral for some reason and exaggerate their opinions about him.  His PFF grade was a lot higher than Bryce's last week. Does that mean he did better than Bryce last week or is a better option? Of course not.  Preseason stats don't mean squat. Maybe we cut him and maybe we don't. I trust the coaches either way. And by the way, Bryce's PFF went up because the oline's went up. They give him barely adequate cover, and he will do just fine.

They traded a lot to get a QB. That tells me they believe they have a decent roster and can afford giving up future picks. 

Disagree. I think they wanted to get the qb done now and thought trying to trade up next year would be impossible.  We were not a quality team that was only a qb away from contending.

He has looked good, but the offense hasn’t so much. 

That is basically what i am saying. Bryce's production is going to be limited by that oline and right now they look like crap. If I could do the draft over, I would take Bryce with the no. 1 pick again. I think he would be doing great if he had the oline we all thought we had.

You think Bryce has looked bad? interesting…

Yes. 58.3 completion % 56 total yards and 0 touchdowns= bad. I attribute most of that to the oline and receivers though. When we give him a pocket, he has looked good. He's going to be running for his life and taking some big hits this year.

Here's something else to think about...

Didn't he also say Matt Corral was the best qb in last year's draft? The problem is that Bryce looks bad because the oline can't pass block.  I see no reason to think they suddenly start playing well when the games count so Bryce will look bad then too.

That is all fear based on past events. Come and join us in the present.

Unfortunately the past events are Tepper's entire ownership period.

Tepper is the turd in the punch bowl. This franchise will only ever be mediocre as long as he is the owner. He will be the owner with the worst won lost record at the end of the year.  Tepper hired an idiot w/ no NFL coaching experience and made him the CEO.  

I think our oline will get it together by the opener and that will allow Bryce and the wr's to move the football.  Quite a few defenders out, and I'm sure Ejiro doesn't want to give anything away.

To all the overreactors out there, it's incredibly important to put this first preseason game into some perspective. Bryce and the starting OL only played 11 snaps. We were missing Corbett and Sanders which will not be the case for most of the season. Thielen, Chark and Mingo all played less than the 11 snaps Bryce played. And even still there were only a few actual bad plays from the starters (Bryce overshooting Chark due to pressure, Laviska messing up his route, and the final sack). Even aside from the usual pre-season vanilla stuff, etc. it's really impossible to draw any conclusions whatsoever from a mere 11 snaps. Put away the pitchforks, playoffs are still on the menu

PFF grades for the oline (ouch):

29. LT Cameron Erving: 47.5
30. LT Larnel Coleman: 46.9
31. TE Hayden Hurst: 43.9
32. LT Ikem Ekwonu: 43.4
33. G Michael Jordan: 34.3

’ the o-line sucks’

Oline got Corral last year and just a matter of time until Bryce goes down. 

Guess who ran through all of his NFL money and wants to sell copies of his new book out on August 8, 2023? 

The oline keeps playing like this and we will have another rookie qb out for the year. Maybe they just suck at pass blocking.

our offense looked bad against a defense that had been playing them all week.

and our defense looked bad against an offense that had been playing them all week. You can say that about both teams. Expectations got too high for most of us though. Tepper has never owned the Panthers when they had a winning record. Probably a trend that will continue. He has to be one of the worst owners in the NFL based on winning percentage. We could still win the NFC South.

Freak injury is a random one that is not indicative of a long term problem. It’s one that does not portend further injuries. 

How do you know? He has been injured each of his first two years and already has some mystery injury this year.  Like I said, he's been available less than half the time he's been with the Panthers.  How can people say he is better than the cbs that actually suit up and play for their team. His potential is not going to win games.

Horn has shown he’s better than Surtain and so far he’s only missed time in seasons that were over before they began, and freak injuries at that rather than chronic ones. Hopefully his career can really start now and prove why he’s worth his draft position.  If he misses a third of the season or more again then I’ll have to rethink my position though heh

What exactly is a "freak" injury? Did a satellite fall out of space and hit him on the head? No. He broke a wrist and and a foot and has been available for less than half the games. Right now he is injury prone until he proves otherwise. Surtain would have been a much better pick. 

Time to burn it to the ground and start over w/ a network that only cares about broadcasting sports.  I don't care to hear your political opinions.  There are a lot of media outlets that already cover that.

Not trying to get into an argument, but when in the last 20 years has a top 15 pick at TE been worth it?

 

Greg Olsen or Vernon Davis.  

If ever there was a qb to start day 1, it is Bryce Young. He will be ready.  The big question is whether Anthony Richardson will start day 1. He will, and he will not be ready.  In his last football game he threw for 33% completion rating.
