I get that, but I don’t think we were at much risk of winning more games even with him and he would have been nice to have for next year’s new staff.

Yea if we can get a really good one in the second then absolutely. Foreman is meh, not a starter and Chuba is trash. Also depends on the coach and OC we get. If it’s one of these guys that can squeeze yards out of mediocre backs like New Orleans did for so many years before Kamara because of the scheme then just pick one in the third or later that fits the physical traits that system needs.

The offense didn’t work because of the guys on the sidelines, not the guys on the field.

He has been on the field. You might have noticed him in our last game accounting for 75% of our total offense.

I agree with everything you said. Levis doesn’t look bad, just nothing I saw really impressed me. I’m much more interested in what I see during game time than measurables. Young reminds me of Watson, good and bad (on the field). From what I’ve seen of Hooker he is the epitome of one read and run QB. No thanks. I watched a couple games worth of videos and never saw a single second read. Helluva athlete though. Stroud just looks like the total package, but he also had a superior system and weapons so I try to filter that out and focus on his decision making, throws (placement, touch, anticipation), and things that are independent from those. With most guys you’ll either have the “he’s got superior weapons” argument or “he hasn’t played anybody/cupcake division” argument because of a team is going against top tier teams then they’re going to be a top tier team too, weapons, system and all.

He had two different injuries two years. You’re making it sound like he was out for four years. It was two, and this year he was looking good when he actually touched the ball. Not his fault our coaching staff is incompetent. When he had a decent OC in Turner he was cranking out yards like no one. Maybe he won’t last more than a couple more years and this will have been for the best in the long run, but right now it just sickens me how little we got for a generational talent. Again. And how badly we wasted a generational talent. Again.

CMC makes just over half what the top WRs make. He’d be most teams best WR. His contract wasn’t bad just because his position is listed as RB. Name the last WR that had as many total yards as CMC’s last healthy year. And he was looking pretty healthy to me this year.

Stroud is my preference for now. Definitely looks different from the OSU QBs before. Reads the defense well, goes through progressions, throws an absolutely beautiful ball, evasive in the pocket but not a runner. Looks like the one. Young looks like a playmaker but not only is his size a concern but his game also has the biggest potential to not translate of the two in my opinion. I haven’t seen any others that even warrant conversation. Definitely not Levis from what I’ve seen so far.

No first, even a ‘24 first? We got f’d

Yea we should take whatever we can get for Shaq. One good year in five or six or however long he’s been here isn’t enough. He’s a prime example of big cap space that should be shed because he’s not really helping the team in the future. Totally different than CMC, Burns, Brown, Chinn, the rest of these guys being foolishly brought up.

For now I’m on the CJ Stroud bandwagon. I’ve watched a bunch of videos and he looks way better than Fields or any of the OSU QBs that people hold against him. He reads the field (Fields and the others didn’t), makes good decisions, has a helluva arm, slippery in the pocket while not a running QB, looks like the one that will finally break the curse of the OSU QBs as long as he goes to a team and system that doesn’t break him like the Jets tend to (jury’s out on ZW but he’s looking solid so far) and Rhule would have.

Shaq is overpaid for what he brings. He was great last year but I haven’t seen the same greatness this year. YGM is still young and has time to develop. Half you numbnuts were trying to give up on Brown too. At worst YGM will likely be a decent player and good depth that isn’t costing much. No need to try to get rid of him. If we could get anything for Shaq to get his contract off our books we should take it. And no one is trading a pick that we could use to replace YGM with for him, so we might as well hang onto him and see if he develops.

Not if we get a good coach and QB. Plenty of teams in worse shape than us outside those two spots have turned it around quickly. I know it’s edgy and trendy to let emotion say the team is complete trash and going to take X years to turn around, but there’s no way to know that. The Giants still have much worse talent top to bottom than us but they’re competing now. All it took was year one of a new coach.

I wouldn’t take less than a low first and second or mid first and third for CMC. We’re more than a year from competing if our new QB takes time to develop and we get an old school defensive HC. We get a bright HC that hits the ground running and our QB is ready to produce early like Cam was or Herbert or some of the other young QBs, we’re ready to compete immediately.

Oh hell no to trading for Mac Jones. We already did that twice with Darnold and Mayfield.

No, I want to see him on the Panthers.

Ping pong has apparently taken the nfl by storm. There’s been stories about a few other teams having ping pong tables in the locker rooms. Bad teams too. It’s not a Panthers thing.

Uh. No.

Of course he is. Tepper said as much in his presser and I think Fitterer has done a good job so far. Not perfect, but good. And who knows how much of those bad contracts are due to Rhule having more power and demanding they get done by any means necessary. He definitely deserves a shot to show what he can do without the inverted power structure of having a coach over him.

Probably no one. If anyone it’ll probably be McAdoo

Woods has been really good, I hope we don’t dump him

A 6th and a 7th. Not bad really

Players would learn to stop committing penalties

It was somewhat satisfying to hear Pereira say after the call for Stafford “well that’s simply not roughing the passer, they got that wrong.”
