He also gets validated on the two Rams wins and we saw the Rams literally replace the entire secondary this offseason as it was their Achilles heel. He’s gotta prove he can do it against everyone and win the games that really count without backing into the playoffs. Personally, I’m ready to move on because nothing I’ve seen in the first three years tells me he can lead us deep in the layoffs.

He was but if you read all the Fitterer crap, Scott loved Young the year before he was in the draft. Don’t think for a second that Iky wasn’t picked knowing we were going QB in the next draft.

I don’t usually care about this type of stuff but damn she’s an awful person. Saw an IG reel with her and Vrabel on what looked like a zoom call for a Family Feud game with a bunch of other sports people. Her question was what do you do with your eyes closed. Her answer, even though everyone after told her this was for kids, was have sex with your husband or wife. She’s degraded her husband a bunch of times in all these reports. Just divorce the guy, don’t be an asshole all the time.

Ok. Did the play get reversed and did you watch it live? It did and I did. Ref is 100% to blame. The CB was down and it was obvious.

Again, KB did nothing wrong. The play was reversed after it was obvious that KB touched him when he was down. The video shows a ref 5 feet away who should have stopped the play. KB knew he already hit him while the CB was down. I watched that play and I saw he was down and knew we’d win the challenge. Just like when the ref told Cam he doesn’t get those calls yet, it did make me wonder if the ref swallowed the whistle since interception returns are a play where QBs can take a big hit. That was right around the “player safety” increase. Cam got hurt because the ref didn’t call the play dead even when it was ridiculously obvious the CB was touched down and the quick review and reversal showed that.

I hated the pick but the point guard talk started with Thomas Brown, 2 months before. I’m not a Tepper fan but I’m sort of annoyed when it looks like people are not including Fitterer, Reich and Brown as well. There were tons of interviews with all the interested parties and how they were all aligned. I’m sure Tepper played a part but I don’t think that Mrs. Tepper made the pick or Tepper made the pick overriding everyone else. It was a cluster, period. Reich’s offense looked like poo, Fitterer sucked balls being the man and Brown was far away from his McVay tutelage.

Gave up is fine. We could have had Jalen Carter/Williams or Maye/+++++++ so to actually have Young on our team we gave up/used 2 1sts plus more.

Dude, there aren’t rose colored glasses big enough for you to call this “not a bad draft.” BC was not a good pick. He was taken with the 6th pick in round 3 and he’s been a backup OL. Tremble also wasn’t a win. Another 3rd rounder who’s easily replaced. Only reason either of them started games is because of injuries or a lack of a better starter. Chuba’s got heart but he’s had one solid year behind a solid run blocking unit. Other than that he’s underwhelmed and like we saw with Dowdle and Foreman, it’s not hard to find cheap pickups who perform as well. Horn has been a good starter but honestly that draft had so many solid starters we could have taken. With as many picks as we had, him and Chuba is absolutely a bad draft. We needed OL and BC and Brown was a terrible effort. You clearly didn’t watch the Senior Bowl if you thought Brown had a chance in the NFL. The huddle draft folks wanted Humphrey and Smith and instead we got crap and Mahomes was the winner.

I have no clue but I haven’t wanted him since the start and my main worry is extending someone I know can’t win it all.

If he’s “much” better, you are looking at 4000 yards and 30TDs. That puts him easily in top 10. If he’s top 10, we’ll extend him.

Pretty much. Worst case scenario is we burn $26M for a backup in 2027. I feel like I already know Young isn’t the guy to bring us deep in the playoffs but the team wants to confirm. Rather than signing a huge extension, we’ve got a 2 year review. We should know after 2026 but the 2027 draft may not go the way we want so at least we’ve got a QB for 2 years.

Problem is he had two good games against the Rams and people forget that the secondary was absolutely terrible hence all the offseason signings at DB. We have a 1st place schedule so we’ll find out. I would be very disappointed in an extension as a good OL and WR crew (if Brazzell works out) is going to be underperforming with Young.

Was just coming in to post the snippet below from the site. I don’t care what draft site it is, our 2023 draft, considering what we gave up, is absolutely the worst draft we or any other franchise has ever had. We gave away Jalen Carter, Caleb Williams or Drake Maye, DJ Moore and a few other 2nd rounders for poo and a small QB leading a bottom tier passing offense. The Panthers take our top spot for the second time. We ranked them No. 1 in 2023 when they took Bryce Young first overall. This time around, they picked No. 19.

TD was the exception that proves the rule.

No worries. I liked our draft but hearing someone say he looked bad in the combine drills and this play on X makes me concerned. I watched Little’s combine drills because Marty was supposedly in love and we needed OL and he looked like the Freeling video on every drill. He looked like the worst OL out there so hearing someone say Freeling’s combine drills were bad is a punch in the gut. Let’s hope it was a bad play and Freeling’s athleticism can get rid of the raw. Little’s RAS score was terrible as well. He completely poo the entire combine. Effin Hurney was so bad at scouting. I don’t care how many 1st rounders he hit. Picking top 10 isn’t hard.

lol. That said, the hopium around the 7th rounders and UDFAs is crazy. The legends of Beau Sandland and Jeremy Cash come to mind. Aside from Norwell and maybe Philly we’ve had tiny flashes, but nothing real for over a decade. Butker was the only other chance in the 7th but we all know how that went.

SMH. Yep, I was just saying this one play means everything. Combine drills are big to me so someone saying they watched them and he looked like Little out there is concerning. We’ve got people saying he had the wrong cleats on when Indy has turf and has literally hosted every combine I can recall. No one wears the wrong cleats there. Oh well, I’m a bit more worried about a raw guy because some flag football coach watched the drills and felt similar to how I felt when Little ran drills. Also, by the way, Little was considered a top 15 prospect by all the same ex-NFLers until his combine was so bad and we still took him in the second. Heck, Little was a PFF all star because he gave up 1 sack in his much longer college career. Little’s athleticism was terrible too so at least Freeling might be able to fix the reaching and falling but I’d rather have heard he killed it on the positional drills instead of looking terrible.

All I know is that he posted about Freeling looking bad in the combine drills (position stuff not #s stuff), which reminds me of Little. After watching the fluidity of Burns, watching Little in the combine drills was a huge red flag. He was the only OL I absolutely didn’t want us to take. Hurney had to miss Little’s drills due to a meatball sub. Anyway, I didn’t watch the drills this year but this was posted above and it certainly makes me concerned. Little always reached and fell down. Hopefully Freeling is just raw but I’m concerned due to another Huddler’s evaluation of Freeling’s combine position drills. https://x.com/trappanthers/status/2047800343723938239?s=46

When was the last time a waiver wire pickup became a starter? If a player wasn’t drafted by us, signed in real free agency, signed as a UDFA right after the draft or stolen off another teams PS after the draft (like Butker), there’s basically zero chance the player will ever be useful. It’s like our love of 7th rounders, they won’t do anything.

I like the draft class and hopefully we get some surprise impacts but I don’t have a warm fuzzy feeling that we’ll get true impact/above average starters. Just getting a starter is nice but we’ve had a ton of recent draft picks that played a lot and we’re still JAGs to be replaced. I’m hoping we get surprised by a couple true impact starters that make the team better not just replace guys like Scott or XL or Corbett.

Why was Love a great move? The two WRs taken right after Love were Tee Higgins and Michael Pittman. You don’t think Rodgers could have used them? Love is 27-20-1 as the starter and is 1-3 in the playoffs. Rodgers last 4 years was 47-18 and 2-3 in the playoffs but they also had byes as they won their division 3 times. Love has finished 2nd in the division once. Sorry, but I think Rodgers having Adams and Higgins together from 2020+ would have had more success than the 1 playoff win that Love has had. The Packers were clearly better at the end of Rodgers run than they’ve been lately.

Didn’t realize he was slow.

Couldn’t be happier. Great pick and great job trading back and still getting Hecht.

A few guys left (all positions) who I’d rather have than XL.

When you keep drafting lineman, it means to keep picking up guys with solid potential on day 3 or maybe day 2. There are tons of starters on the OL that came from rounds 3+. Taking developmental/risky guys in round 1 like Young and Legette is not how you build. You need your Brown and TMac rock solid, immediate impact guys and the rust guys come later.
