Just 20min and hearing how Reich likes having big bodied WRs makes me wonder how TMJ is going to do in this new offense.

Saw Scott Bolander's post on the Panthers subreddit sharing an hour-plus long deep dive on Reich's offense and lost the thread + video, so I'm amped that 4MR got with him to dive in further. Loved hearing that Reich will never embarass a player. After the last two HCs, can't help but wonder how grateful guys will be to not have to worry about their coach dragging them whenever they speak to the press.

There's an argument to be made that better decisions have been happening with Nicole in the room instead of Rhule...

I wanna pick Chaos so bad... but if the team is selecting #1 (or #2 for that matter), I'd prefer it be either Young or Stroud. Both have their positives, and these coaches know more about NFL QBs then I can ever hope to dream of, so I'm going to trust in the process this go around.

Eager to see how this signing plays out. At the very least, TMJ and the other young WRs are going to be getting route running clinics from Thielen. Current red zone weapons: Sanders, TMJ, Hurst, Thielen, Tremble? Not bad.

IF a trade down were to happen, I can't imagine the move being made anytime soon. They've got plenty of time to continue vetting QB1 and while they might find themselves interested in more than one of them they might also fall head over heels for a particular prospect.

I'm guessing that Frank and the gang are looking at that UGA game as what he can be coached up to be. When the biggest knock on Stroud has been how he wilts under pressure, he went out against one of the best defenses in the country (with NFL talent littered across it) and put on his best performance yet. Following that up by putting on a show at the combine only solidified it further. Can't coach 5'10" up to 6'3"

Thank you for the insight + clarification!

Why would they trade it to their division rival tho?

Sounds about right. Do you imagine that they'll trade with Houston and select Richardson if the compensation is enticing enough? I can't see them dropping down to #4. Feels like it's Stroud and that's that.

So... you're looking to prove that you're right? The thread title says to help you understand, but based on this reply and other's that you have made in this thread I'm led to believe that you're just looking to argue.

Are you trying to understand the move, be convinced about it being beneficial, looking to vent, or just looking to prove that you're right?

Damn, the TE group just got leaps and bounds better. Wouldn't mind the team still looking at taking a TE in the draft with higher upside than running it back with Ian Thomas.

Really happy for Baker. Things didn't go well here, but he seemed to grow a lot as a professional during his struggles. Hope things work out for him in TB, so long as it means losing to the Panthers

Oh my damn All the offense needs now is a deep threat WR, Foreman or Williams to tote the rock, and the QB that the team selects at #1 overall aaaaahhhhhhh

Ngl was fretting a little bit over finding a capable mentor that isn't a coach for the rookie QB, but Dalton is an excellent choice to help the #1 overall pick learn how to be a pro.

In a way that would likely result in members of the Huddle calling me everything but a child of God

On the surface, this assessment is accurate and scares the Hell out of me. However, none of those guys are the athletes that CJ is. None of them can move like him. His acceleration seems to require some time, but he can move a lot better than those other guys. My hope is that if he's the guy that Frank and co. can coach him up to play like he did vs. UGA.

If they believe that AR-15 is the guy and can convince Houston or Indy to swap with them and regain some lost assets...

Shaq staying means that armchair capologists are having an aneurysm which makes it even more awesome

The narrative here was that DJ wasn't a bona-fide WR1. Playing semantics and trying to make it seem like it's about being elite is disingenuous, especially when being a true WR1 in the NFL is an elite status.

It is hilarious that the football world acknowledges how solid DJ is yet we still have fans that think he's at best a WR2. Gotta admire the commitment by some folks. It's a commitment to stupidity, but it's a commitment nonetheless.

Love to see it.

Always good to have another capable QB on the roster with a 17-game season. Even better if the pick is Bryce Young and he has trouble holding up or even if it's CJ and he ends up not able to take NFL hits despite being bigger.
