Nah, the suggestions aren't working with the text boxes. Anyway...

  

"He's gonna have to rebuild his confidence. I mean he was shook. Let's be honest. I'm not going to lie about that," Rivera said at the Annual League Meeting Wednesday morning. "The young man went through a tough time and we went through a tough time. Why? Because of the injuries that we suffered on the offensive line. That was probably was the biggest thing. It just kind of shows you the more of the importance of being able to protect your quarterback."

Last year just sucked. Let's act like it never happened. 

I wouldn't be confident until game 1 and we see how it goes.

I don't know why people get excited about interviews with head coaches in the NFL.  They are 99% of the time just fluff and PC answers.

Despite what many around here seem to believe, Ron is actually one of the more candid and open HC's when it comes to interviews / comments and not just "coach speak" usually.

Not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing but the fans at least get something. Most coaches are exactly what you say though and who can blame them.

If Greg goes down, a significant part of our offense does too...  Just like with Stewart and at OT, we got to have a better plan for this year if he were to go down.  Ed Dickson is who he is.  He's not terrible, but he doesn't change the way a DC prepares in the least

He was rated as one of the worst, if not the worst, TE in the NFL by PFF. I know PFF is not the end all for judging people but his blocking skills are the absolute worst. We have GOT to have a better TE2.

Jordan Leggett or OJ Howard

RR on Julius Peppers: "I think he has a lot left in the tank. Look at Tom Brady."

How many sacks did Brady get last year?

I would say there is a 20% chance Dickson wears a Panther hat in 17.

I can't wait for the draft at which point much of this angst and gnashing of teeth will either end or increase. Otherwise there is still going to be another month of bitching and complaining about what we are or aren't going to do. This type of whining might be appropriate if this were July or August but not even April?

This is ridiculous. Can't we at least limit the sky is falling, Cam is getting screwed, etc. Until it is more than simply a possibility. So far GMan has done a good job in free agency. I think we are going to make some splashes in the draft on offense. If not then I will join in the bitching.

[Saca312]

If we don't at least come out of this TE class with Kittle or ANY TE, I'll rage.

We do NOT have ANY TE depth. What is Ron smoking?

[RelaxImaPro]

Hey, Dickson caught that one pass that one time.  You know the one.

[Cpt slay a ho]

Ron hasn't had a problem admitting fault or acknowledging a problem, it's the stubbornness to address the problem that kills me

There does seem to be  fewer actual football discussions these days. I think it reflects the changing board composition as more millennials join the discussion and older folks drop out.  Yep I said it. Millennials think everyone cares what they think and it their duty to let everyone know what they think about everything all the time. Because it is all about me and how things impact me....
