It's simple... If they compliment us we love them, if they fail to rave about our awesomeness, we hate them!

I just want the truth. I understand that the truth hurts sometimes but I would rather be told the truth that hurts than a lie that makes me feel good.

for example I was told how great our D was under Evero and how if you cherry pick certain stats that our d was actually good. But the truth was we were in the bottom of almost every category except pass yards and that was probably because teams ran the ball down our throats and didn’t need to pass because they were ahead by so much. Context is key. Then coming into this season we have one of the worst defenses all around. The truth was we weren’t that good the year before but some people didn’t wanna hear it so they tried to twist it to make it seem like we were better than what we were. 
 

This season there was no way to deny how bad our defense was.

If you actually listened to the truth you would have realized this going into the season but the lies gave people false hope.

I don’t think we will be any worse. I think it really depends on how well the rookies play.

Nope. Maybe if we were one player away from winning a SB but why would you bring as young as we are? Why not save the money for the future? Why not give reps to younger talent in hoping to find a young starting CB. I also don’t feel like investing in a 30 year old CB.

I don’t get why people hating on Purdy. You don’t put up the numbers he did for 3 years and just be “average” otherwise you would have had QBs who you claim are better put up way better numbers.

I don’t get the hate for Purdy. You don’t put up those kind of numbers in a 3 year period just because you’re on a good team or have good coaching. Despite all the injuries to his own team and injuries to himself he still had a 96 qb rating and has a qb rating of 104.9 in 3 years over 40 games. Heck he was in the mvp race in the 2023 season.

I feel like this is a really easy schedule. Lots of teams without an established QB or that wasn’t good last season.

Panthers fans know this. How many times were we looking at getting a top pick only to go on a winning streak near the end of the season to get out of the top 5 picks

Honestly I expect more from Princely Umanmielen than Scourton this year. Scourton is only 20 years old and won’t be 21 until August where Princley is 23 and was a 5th senior with 2 different SEC teams. They are different kinds of players and Scourton may even get more reps on the rushing downs but I can see Princely getting more sacks.

I trust Morgan when it comes to LBs so I think Wallace will do well.

Now there’s a shot at Dj Johnson or Barno making the roster

Well more time for our rookies. Let’s see what they have.

My biggest fear is what if he puts up just okay numbers. Numbers where he wasn’t bad but not great either. Just middle of the road. That makes the decision a lot tougher. Because that would mean his numbers did improve but it’s not as good as you wanted.

then we would have to think about giving him another season to prove himself.

While I do think he will improve, I don’t expect his numbers to be that much higher. We have a good group of TEs as it is. I think Evans has the potential to be a good TE for us. Tremble will be our most experienced TE and is a great blocker who will take reps away from Sanders. There’s also the fact that we drafted Tet who is a 6’4 WR who could take away red zone targets. Legette and Coker are also listed at 6’3 so we have a lot of big WR on the team already. 
 

then there’s the fact we have 2 1,000 yd RBs on the roster. Does that mean we will run the ball more this year?

I also noticed that Tommy Tremble is listed as our #1 TE. Granted that could change when the season starts.

So overall I wouldn’t expect a big season from Sanders. That could change with injuries.

I think 400-500 yards seems more reasonable to me for this season. I wouldn’t pay attention to the stats as much as how well he plays though.

When we drafted him the commentators said he was playing at 285. I’ve seen articles that said he played at 265-285 throughout the season. Add the fact he had to play in a new system and I actually think those numbers are pretty good. 

No we need to give Wallace reps to see if he’s the future at LB or not.

I loved this draft. I think we have 3 starters out our first three picks. Maybe they take a year to develop but I don’t see them taking long. 
 

I think Etiene is going to be a good back up. He’s only 20 so he has a lot to improve on.  I think we will see him be used on special teams this year. He won’t get many reps unless an injury happens because we got two 1,000 yard rb in front of him.

I could see Ransom starting but I think he will probably be a back up, maybe playing special teams? I think hes probably got the lowest ceiling of all our drafted players.

Cam Jackson will be a back up, probably not a lot of snaps this year. Could end up being a solid player for us.

I love the Mitchell Evans pick. He’s got potential to be our top TE. He had two different injuries that set him back in college but I think if he was healthy he would have been one of the top TE in the draft. I have even more faith in him because ND makes great tight ends. I don’t know if he will play much this year unless an injury happens though. Probably just a blocking TE this year.

He’s only 20 so we have plenty of time to develop him. I don’t believe he cost a roster spot either. Give him some preseason reps and see what he does. It’s a no risk/high reward player.

I just remembered that they said Mike Evans problem was he took plays off in the NFL. I remember the season that Jameis Winston threw 30 INTs that the announcer was talking a lot of crap about Evans taking plays off. 
 

Evans still put up over 1,000 yards that season and had 8 TDs.

I say that because Evans is the guy who Tet is always compared to. I think even if he does take plays off then he will still probably be decent. Hopefully the whole “takes plays off” is blown out of proportion and he balls out.

James Bradberry is available too

Does he have anything left in the tank?  From my understanding he was so bad that eagles drafted two CB to replace him with last year.

How well did he play last year? He always does well but never gets resigned. I figured at his age he would be regressing. That said, with the lack of depth at CB, I wouldn’t mind him being a back up.

6ft 6 wingspan…. Nice.

I love this signing. He was a solid player for years with Oakland. He does his job well, problem is he basically just plays slot. If nothing else he’s a good camp body to have. If there’s an injury then he’s a experienced WR we can use as a back up plan.

Wish him the best but he’s a long shot to make the team.

I really don’t think any UDFA makes the 53 man roster . If there is any that does it would probably be one of the offensive linemen.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we either sign a inside linebacker, CB or safety before the preseason starts or claim some during cuts.

I don’t see DJ Johnson, Barno and possibly Crumedy making the team 

I don’t see why he should apologize, it was hilarious and considering the fact that sanders and his family are such jackasses I love it even more. Nothing makes me happier than seeing a jack ass being put into his place.

but it’s also the falcons so it’s a bonus so we can laugh at them even more for their screw ups. A win win for me
