Jon Snow

But he's not a good one. He's just better than Darnold. I cannot bring myself to cheer for the guy. I feel about him the way most on here feel about Darnold. I can't stand the SOB.

He will be meh, but that's an improvement over what we've seen so far. He will improve the team just enough to get his extension.

I prefer someone that doesn't need on the job training. Rhule is not and will nevet be a competent nfl head coach. Baker Mayfield is and will always be a mediocre qb. If you are content with that then more power to ya.

Baker will get it if they manage more than 5 wins this season. You can take that to the bank.

It's a push between the two for me. But Baker will pull off enough wins to keep rhule around and get his franchise extension money for getting the team to 8 or 9 wins.

I'm a Panther fan and I hate it even for what we gave up. Not a Baker fan at all.

I have no idea what he's talking about.

I feel sick to my stomach right now.

I hope all of you that are excited about this realize that this ensures Rhule finishes out his contract. He will also extend Baker if they have a winning season. This is not a 1 year experiment or rental for the team.

You're wasting your time trying to keep me on the straight and narrow brother.

Might not be an adequate choice of words I used to describe what he's going through. In any case it has to become automatic for him and not have him thinking too much if that makes sense.

That will serve him well in the big league. He's going to need it.

A lot hinges on the performance of the offensive line. I'm expecting much early on to be honest. But it has to look better than last season, right? I mean how could it possibly be worse?

That's a double edge sword. A simpler offense is too easy to diagnose and defend. The defense has a tremendous edge on the rookie and the team as a whole. That's how you end 5-12 for the season. I'm all for getting him out there but you have to give him a chance at least. There's a huge difference between college competition and nfl competition. Let's hope he catches on quickly.

That's they only way you should start a rookie. You are doing him a disservice by throwing him out there when he's not ready to execute the full playbook comfortably. He has to have enough film study with a vet qb and a coach that can teach him how to read nfl defenses. Does he have that here? I surely hope so.

Early reports are he's having trouble pre snap but is doing well after. Got to get that up to speed first. That's a crucial part of the job. He has to get everyone set and have time to read the defense before the clock runs out. I seriously doubt he can read an nfl defense well enough at this stage. Fingers crossed . I would love to have him start though. He still has a lot to learn despite my hopes that he can be the guy.

You are not missing anything.

If he's not the long term answer then no, it's a wasted use of assets for a one year deal.

I hate that dead stretch in the off season before camp. The natives get restless around here.

This is good news for the casino in Cherokee I'm sure.

I wouldn't say Burns is a stud just yet. He has produced anything of significance in my book to get top 10 money.

I would say DE is ahead of TE until otherwise established. Hell the entire dline is a question mark right now.
