It was baffling leading up to the draft reading all the reports (that proved correct) that we loved Greg Little. Watching him at the Combine drills, it was like... "Wait, that's your guy? The guy with two left feet who moves like he's hungover from a three day bender? THAT guy????"

The OL struggling was predictable. Our D making their borderline NFL roster caliber backup QBs look like seasoned legit starters was not.

At one point yesterday, one QB had went 10/11 and the other QB had went 7/10. Multiple TDs. No INTs that I can recall. It wasn't pretty. Keep in mind, Indy is in a panic right now about their backup QB situation because they suck and Wentz is out with injury. We made them look good.

Let's hope for a better showing today.

Never forget, we actually went into a season with Byron Bell at LT and Nate Chandler at RT by PLAN. Not due to some forced desperation due to rash of injury.

13/19 for 87 yards? The Pats didn't needs to spend the 15th overall pick on that. They could've just sent us a 6th for Teddy Bridgewater.

Honestly, no but if you think the shirt fits...

Well hey, if that whole QB thing doesn't work out we might have a need there too.

He's just doing it to be an ass. I chuckled.

My buddy's such an asshole. I texted him to let him know about the poor showing. He just said thanks and sent this screenshot. LOL!

I've watched people every year put huge faith in an organization, coaching staff, front office, etc. like they've come to expect success. I'm a Panthers fan and I'll always HOPE for us to be good but I'm not going to act like we've been a successful organization and put my head in the sand and act like everything is fine when an objective observer can easily see some pretty critical issues.

Some of our fans act as if as long as they're irrationally positive we'll actually he good ingnoring the reality that we're coming off of three consecutive losing seasons and our first joint practice pretty much confirmed the concerns most of us already had about the roster. But, I guess go ahead and keep acting like we're the Pats or Steelers.

Yep. We're at a talent deficit on the OL. No way around it. Identify your best five guys and let them start developing into the best unit they can be. It probably won't be good but it'll be the best it can be.

I feel like this should've happened years ago. If the reports were accurate today that Christensen looked better than the vets, just rio the bandaid off already. Moton at LT, Christensen at RT and let's go. I don't have much hope at OG.

Definitely agree with this.

Since we only drafted one 3rd round OL, the draft could be an A+ and the OL still be donkey balls. We have one OL who would start on the majority of NFL rosters. That ain't the makings of a serviceable OL.

Some people wear delusion as a badge of honor.

Given our lack of investment in the OL, this is to be expected.

I wouldn't be as disappointed if it wasn't borderline NFL QBs who were doing it. Indy is in a near panic QB situation right now with Wentz's health in question and we made them look good.

I just want a decent enough OL to give Darnold a chance. We gotta figure out if he can be the guy or not. If not, we gotta find the guy. I don't want us going into next off-season thinking "well maybe he can be the guy if we fix the OL". Fug that. Be the guy or get outta the way.

Signing Erving and Elflein so early in FA to decent contracts was baffling to me. Those were the types of guys I expected to go for cheap after the primary wave of premium free agency was over. I was hoping we'd targeted them because we'd seen something specific they had. But, it seems like we're pretty much just flailing at OL and that's disappointing.

I'm with you. This isn't college where you have a massive roster, linemen take 2-3 years of development then you only get 1-2 years of actual good play out of them before they're gone to the NFL or gone due to expiring eligibility. This really feels like a college approach to the OL.

We've invested heavily in the secondary in recent years. Jackson, Horn, and Chinn represent two 2nd round picks and a top 10 1st rounder. Compare that to our investments in the OL. I expect our OL to suck but I expect our secondary to start looking like they belong.

Pick your five best bad guys and let them start gelling.

As expected for the OL and DL. Disappointing for the secondary.
