Skins really pulled a good one taking Cousins in the RGIII draft.

Smitty works for David Tepper and has a cake job. He is in good with the team. He isn’t going to bite the hand that pays his divorce lawyers. Probably my favorite Panther, a relentless competitor. Luke had that same drive just without the antisocial streak. But Smitty on Sundays? Not that many that were better.

Your use of stats to advocate for Bryce being better than he really is, is why I don’t really take some of the stats arguments seriously. I can see what he is. And I have not watched the games this year but have scoped some post analysis, but I watched every snap for the first two years, some twice. He doesn’t look like some different guy in year 3. He is the same guy he was, and further - pretty much the same as he was in college. Unfortunately. I am getting a pretty big whiff of Stan here. Here is how I see your future: one day you will finally realize he is a failure at professional football. When that happens, you won’t be making boast posts about how good he was in year two anymore, you will be posting about how the Panthers ruined him his first season. With a straight face.

I thought about that the other day and came to the conclusion that Reich could have done that partly to poke Tepper. Lol I can hear him cussing now. Frank’s like, yes please, fire me.

Development. You really think he looks different than two calendar years ago? I just don’t. Icing on the cake is he was supposed to be developed and ready to start, and win, while making average WRs better. Point guard. Elite processor. Ring a bell? Everyone has had to forget about that and just hope he can look average. 95% of his time on the field has been a fail, maybe 90%. He has caught lightning in a bottle one game, and maybe a half in a couple of others. Or a drive. That’s about the size of it.

Yeah. I mean he has no above average physical anything, and the bad mechanics and footwork weaken an already borderline arm. I was so baffled and frustrated with the narrative that had him as top pick. As far as going forward, you have a stack of 25 games where he was bad and over here, maybe 5 games where he was good, one where he was damned good. One. Moving forward with him is being completely blind to reason.

I was hard against that trade. My red line is you don’t trade future 1st round picks. You just do not ever do that. That is what Hurney did that turned me against him. All I know is everything I watched with Young playing football screamed to me, do not buy into this he can’t succeed against NFL talent.

Lol I was working from the other direction, thinking they could attach antennae to their helmets with a lil flag at the top he could just throw to the flag.

I guess. For me I am a layman football scouting wise. I know nothing really. But just 10 minutes of critically looking at Young via videos showed it to me. I don’t think Leaf, for instance, would have been easy that way. He had the prototypical stuff. To know he would bust, you’d have to have the skill to dissect his mental potholes. And probably some one on one time with him.

He was horrible his rookie year but he was much improved last season. To the point he could serve. I am hoping….

Basically he is saying the last pick of the draft and Bryce Young are interchangeable. Okay Purdy could have gone higher obviously. And I’d have probably taken Bryce if he were there in the late 3rd. Edit: strictly on his size and arm, he would be off the board until then. Standards.

I was thinking he has to be in the running for ‘most likely to bust’ though. I am sure there were a couple more. Manziel comes to mind but I think Bryce wins. Jamarcus or JaMarcus was a piece of work and it seems like the good teams should have sussed that out. Quarterback Fever is a bad germ to catch.

This is a score for someone. Go through the motions of getting the banner and renting the plane. Leak the news and wait for the buyout offer.

According to members of the fan club ‘Bryce’s Believers’ you are not allowed to count the 16 games from 2023.

Because everyone is picking on him and treating him very unfairly when none of it is even his fault?

I am not that worried over how they will do if they can stay healthy. Icky is a run blocking fool. Lewis him and Mays ought be able to do something.

Sure let’s do better. I want a bad ass defensive guy. Vrabel would have made me happy. Finesse teams do offense. And we are damned sure trying to do finesse. Can’t even do that right, we have nothing going.

Yeah. And I knew we were going to be bad for years messing with lil buddy college all star. When they kill your hopes for three years at one whack, it is tough.

Maybe he talked with him and expects him to play better. Might be a one more chance scenario. Gotta wait for Coker to come back or something. Legette will force his hand with much more of his crap though.

I know he caught most of the grief over Mike Evans. While using street FAs or practice squad guys to cover him. 3 times. I understand that excuses are just excuses and it did happen. Still, his record of 6-6 in 12 games beat out every single head coach in the Tepper era except 2018 Rivera who won 7 but had 16 tries. So I misspoke when I said every single coach in the Tepper era because 2018. But he got everybody else. I think he was a better HC than a DC no doubt. Hell I wasn’t impressed with him as our DC. After totally loving him as the DB coach. Anyway I don’t feel bad about preferring him over all this crap since.

Didn’t expect him to be a problem child but starting with the first play of preseason he has been one.

Uhh, Luke. But this was a great outcome for a pick. Especially for us.

Lol I don’t Want to get mad about but will end up taking a look at the breakdowns.

I haven’t seen the games but the reports of lack of hustle and effort are damning him in my book. I had hopes for him this year but that is cause for being inactive on game day.

Yeah I didn’t remember how many guys were on offense besides him that were taken but did figure he was facing one, maybe two guys that would be drafted from whatever defense it he was playing. Then the out of conference games against smaller schools that are basically exhibitions, sheesh, you know they can feast. The other thing is, out of those 62, how many really had NFL bodies at that point? Few of them. Most will be different players after a year of NFL training and body development. So you have to think about what the difference is. Even with the SEC guys that got taken, they will be better in the pros too. So when you factor all that in, and look at the Bryce tape and the Bryce pro day and whatever, I just will never understand why.
