Right.

Public perception of teams is an interesting thing in the offseason.  Rams for example, are darlings and can do no wrong and Eagles just won the Super Bowl so every move they make is considered genius.

Yeah with the Rams doing what they're doing, people have already forgotten who won the Super Bowl as they pencil in the Rams next year.

Arguably the third best team my a$$. Same record as division champs last year and 2 years removed from a SB appearance. No actual facts support that opinion.

you cant say we're better than the Saints because we got 3x swept by them last season, thats an important fact that doesnt show up on a simple "Panthers 11-5 in 2017" stat listing. We also got lost in the WC. 

Even I'm still kinda confused on how to view last year. Obvious improvement over 2016 on paper, but we still had horrible issues in the secondary and offense was really inconsistent.

Yeah, it was a weird year. The results were pretty good but we seemed to have so many obvious holes and glaring weaknesses. I honestly think we were simultaneously close to being in the Super Bowl and being a 4 win team.

I think if we played the pats again Brady wouldve sliced up coleman and worley. 

But then again the Pats seem to continually make Cam rise to the occasion.

Yeah, I am not sure what I would have thought about that matchup. We had beaten them already, but oddly, I think that would have favored them.

The mixed feeling comes from either winning or loosing 11 games by 7 points or less. It literally comes from losing to the Saints by 21 then beating the Patriots the following week.

Or beating the patriots and Vikings and getting demolished by the Bears

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      The question I wonder involves putting the cost behind us.      At this point he's here, so does the premium paid even matter anymore? It set expectations no doubt, and they weren't met.  He's been bench-worthy bad, but he's come back and looked first average, above-average to maybe great, and then downright bad again.  Now we're back on a good trend again.  Absolute rollercoaster.   So what level of performance deems him a viable option to hold?  He's looked absolutely incapable of moving an offense at times, and others like a guy you can "Purdy" with some dimes sprinkled in.     So, if he continues on this 2 game trend and shows consistent average to above-average play, we're treading into tricky territory.  Such a big investment but he tops out as a top-15/20 QB option.  It's Alex Smith KC type vibes. Are we going to be sitting at 7-10 come end of season and feel kind of meh? It's right at that fringe of what is worth it.  If he doesn't re-sh*t the bed, we may be best suited to go BPA next draft and see the 2026 progression.  And that will be the final make/break year.  What I can see if he doesn't fall apart and things look manageable: He may end up being the average precursor to finding the great talent that you can build the team around.  How Alex Smith was in KC.  They built that with him (not around him) until they eventually got Mahomes.  Heck, think back to Trent Green/Warner.  So, BY can manage, we may get some success, but if a stud comes along, we bail and roll with the new gun.

      We win 2 games largely due to historic rushing from our backup RB we signed in free agency and now the huddle is regarded as the most toxic place on the internet because not everyone shares the same opinion that Bryce Young has proven himself to actually be a long term starting QB yet. This place was just as ugly through the prime Cam years. People complained about him even when he was producing and we were winning the division. Things were just as ugly through the Jake years. Sometimes people would get so irate and fed up with him they would literally be calling for his head. How about we just give eviscerating one another a breather and see how this team and Bryce look on the road. Nothing anyone can say is going to make a difference until then.
