Yes. Big surprise that the man that couldn't even operate a pizza joint even with his name value in Charlotte can't run an NFL front office. Can't get over his 2023 and 2024 draft classes. Taking XL, Brooks, Wallace takes a special skill of incompetence. Can't get over his plan at MLB. Was apart of the Fitterer team and their comedy of errors. We need fresh ideas in the building next year not only at GM, but in our scouting department. 

Are you doubling down for the Falcons game? If so, post your bet slip

A small way to help Young next week is to bench Legette. Brycen Tremayne needs to be the starter but I'm sure it won't happen. There's no player accountability from the coaches. We would have been better off if XL never saw the field yesterday.

What are you expecting or hoping to see out of Bryce?

Yesterday absolutely killed any sliver of hope I was hanging onto. When we recovered that onside kick I was thinking, okay here's his chance. He's been having a really good second half while the opposing D has been playing soft protecting a big lead, his confidence had to be brimming, so let's see it. Here's his chance to actually show us something in a meaningful situation with a chance to go to 1-1 vs. 0-2. That's a massive difference. Historically speaking, your odds of making the playoffs are about 44% at 1-1. They plummet to 12% at 0-2. At 1-1 your season is very much alive and you're in the fight. At 0-2 you're already in panic mode because if you drop to 0-3 now you have a 3% chance at the playoffs statistically speaking. Your season is practically over before a leaf has changed.

Anyway, I got sidetracked... so, Bryce takes the field with a legit opportunity for a meaningful game winning drive while playing well and what happens? He IMMEDIATELY reverts back to looking terrible. Looking timid. Looking unsure. Taking bad sacks. Missing throws badly. The refs threw flag after flag after flag giving us second and third chances and he just couldn't do anything with it. Oh, and I should add... all of this game against a defense that was missing practically it's entire starting secondary due to injuries at this point. It was an absolutely golden gift wrapped opportunity and he absolutely blew it. He didn't just blow it, he didn't even give us a chance. Practically every other starter and most of the #2s in the league are at LEAST gonna give you a fighting chance in that scenario.

I've seen enough. I'm all the way out. This dude ain't it and those last two minutes proved it for me. Bryce seems like a legitimately good guy. A guy you'd be happy with your daughter dating. But he ain't an NFL QB.

C'mon man. We're 2 weeks into the season. When Hendon Hooker inevitably plays bad, what do we do? Go back to Bryce Young and look even more like a clown show? I'm not a Bryce Young fan at all, but it's week 2... We shouldn't be pulling the cord this early for a player who had a 36.1% QB rating and was cut after 2 seasons as a 3rd round pick. I get that the backup QB is the most popular player for fans, but he's not the answer either. We made our bed with Bryce Young, now we have to lay in it 

Falcons did really well in the draft. Plus they signed Devine Deablo at MLB who we should’ve went after. Nic Scourton looks non existent out there. I’m afraid he’s too small for a DT and too slow/non twitchy for an edge. 

Screw Atlanta. Divisional game. Anything can happen. I’d rather not accept defeat on Sunday night like some of you. 

Couldn't we have signed Deablo for LB? Guy has been everywhere tonight. Another Dan Morgan blunder. Get him out 

I'm probably in the minority, but I don't want to see Bryce Young benched yet. Especially for Hendon freaking Hooker. Sorry. 

It's been great seeing him play so well. I knew he would. Can't help but to feel ashamed of the team we have surrounded him with. They'll be no reason for a Cali kid to stay in Charlotte if we don't get our act together fast. 

Almost all NFL QB's have had great games here and there. Consistently being a top 5 performing QB week in and week out is what makes you elite.

I could care less if a QB entering the draft is 24 or 25-years old.  I see it as a plus.  In the NIL era, journeymen players is going to become the norm.  

He lacks upside. Aguilar will prob be a 4-6th round pick. Anyone who projects him as an elite talent is silly 

Of all QB"s you want a journeyman super senior whose 24?

Compare Campbell's supporting cast to Brown's 

Compare Campbells and Browns salaries. 24 million vs 2 million. We need him to be a Jalen Carter/ Chris Jones player consistently. I've hardly noticed him so far in the two games.

Brown's impact isn't always the kind that shows up on personal stats.

What impact then? That's usually what you say if your stud DT is anchoring a strong run D, but we're not stopping the run. I notice top DT's all the time. Chris jones, Jalen Carter, Q Williams, Vita Vea, J Simmons etc . Look what Calais Campbell just did to us. I'll give Brown a pass for now because he's coming back from a season ending injury, but his impact has been disappointing 

He played his role well

Not a Bryce fan, but the play calling that last drive was disgraceful. We had time to run a no huddle, quick pass game attack to get down the field, similar to the previous drive. Heck, we even had a timeout in our pocket.  Instead, we decided to call long developing deep routes which doesn't cater to Young's strength's. The Cards D-line were pinning their ears back, and we had no answer. That last drive is more on Canales than Young

Some of it is Legette but he was put in positions that doesnt fit him.  He is not a speedy receiver, why are we throwing him smoke plays and handoffs?  IMO is is a short yardage receiver

No positions fit him, with the exception of the bench. We should trade him just like the Patriots did with Polk 

Throw the damn ball to T-Mac and give him a chance! How does he not try that? 

Throw it up to TMAC. Wtf

Hell of a throw! Give credit where it’s due

That dude is better than XL

He’s actually a WR who had to earn his way on a roster, not because he was a freak athlete high draft pick 

I can’t think of one thing he does well besides suck 

Why use a timeout there? They’ll prob get the 1st. Save it when the downs reset. 

Feels good knowing I was never a Xavier Legette apologist. I’ve been on record since last year saying XL isn’t the guy despite getting hated on for it. 
 

Let’s just dink and dunk down 18 with 7 min left
