A bunch of stuff that wasn’t his fault lol.

He said he called for it.

I think he has underperformed his draft position. Doesn’t mean he sucks but I haven’t seen what I hoped to see. I guess let’s put it that way. I don’t advocate adding LOT to the needs list. It is a tough one.

He has actually done better than I anticipated after his camp and preseason and the opening two games. When you have Tet and Rico is rolling like that he just needs to keep on blocking. There was a play Sunday he could have scored on with one block. It didn’t happen. Yeah he has work to do but I’m not freaking out over him yet. I would like to point out that people who are slow learners can still be sure learners it just takes them longer.

I suppose given his selection slot he could be called a great pick if he develops. We are spoiled with 1st round MLBs.

Can we go back to square one for a minute and remember what we paid for this guy and how he was sold? He was like, the anti excuse. Makes everybody better, Did we get that? I think the answer is still coming but so far you might can say that for a game or two. Cam had issues with personnel every season almost. Horrible OL, but he had receivers. Decent to good OL no receivers. Etc. Bryce needs to stand up, or keep standing up, however you want to put it. It is big boy time in year 3. He doesn’t have to make the playoffs but there is a standard. We’ll see what happens. But the excuses are just fuging tired. ps, I mean let’s not crown him when he has franchise record production in two wins,.. let’s see when they stop that, how he does then.

It does vary, and depends on their health and other factors. I mean you really can’t look at the schedule in August and know what you will be facing mid season or even early October. Pick a month. Any time because stuff happens. It is any given Sunday relative to that. Early this year, KC was beatable. Will they be in December? And we don’t know if they’ll be motivated, or out of it. One team, that is likely a different team in 10 weeks. That’s an example of what I mean. Far as “decent” we know who the good teams are. We could hit a good team on a bad day, and we could have a really good one. It happens. All I’m saying. And I don’t expect it not to, for random teams. That’s about it. Predicting wins is an imperfect pastime.

We could beat a decent team if our QB had a career type day and theirs had an off day. You just never know.

Or fug something up and blow a close one at the last minute. To me that is even more Panthers.

Blitz Shaq blitz Shaq!

All I know about Rhule is thank God he will never again be a Panthers coach. Sorry but college coaches without significant NFL experience should be off limits.

True. As far as the D I think a great MLB behind DB could really force some chaos.

That was last week it was the guys from ESPN radio - the team with Chris Rae I think and the bearded dude with little head hair. I don’t follow them I just saw it on YouTube Their postgame said the press box and everyone on the stadium (lol) had him fired. And the rest of his teammates “saved his job”. That is what they said, you can probably find it. I am quoting 8 days later I may not be perfect word for word but that is the essence of their message I didn’t hear anything like that this week.

I think he was hired as HC in San Diego a few years back? Everyone used to dog him and then he got named HC. Lol worthy.

Only justification I would accept is if he was doing damage to the top pick you have at QB.

My opinion on the edge rusher lobbying here is we need to give these guys the season before even thinking about it. We cannot get to a QB before some TE or slot guy gets open vs our ILB when they need them to. I would wait on edge and focus on a stud to play next to Wallace or whoever

Moton was inactive Sunday, injured. It means I’d probably rather use Christianson to sub for an injured Moton than Nijman and use Corbett at G. Because I don’t trust Nijman in pass pro so much.

We escaped a game where Nijman played and he didn’t hurt us. I don’t want to keep making that bet. Let’s free Brady up to sub in for Motion.

You aren’t going to convince me, this is circular. Let’s stop.

Looking at the Jets and that mess they have going on, it seems like they would be pretty hopeless. But it is Vegas. And the Panthers. Hit Bryce a couple of times and that ball comes out as often as not it seems like. Others can put it on the ground. We have not suffered much of that. teams show up up flat. Kickers miss gimmes. Balls bounce in one side’s favor the entire day, It’s a crazy game. Then, factor the refs are total wild cards. There are better ways to gamble.

I would say that about the NFL in general. It is uncanny how Vegas can set the outcome.

I thought better of leaving my line about the town slut in, and omitted it but I am with with you there.

I was afraid you would use Herm to miss the point, but I risked it because despite his record he was 100% right on that one. Congratulations.

panthers are giving a point in what I saw. I would say they cover a point but it’s the panthers so saying it with money, maybe I’d just pass.

I would say this about 2025, after #8 Tepper really didn’t exert much influence because it was defense and he isn’t fixated on defense, he doesn’t think it sells tickets.
