    Sooo...I did me a cursory search to see how the web was picking our game. What I found was a bit...unexpected. So without further ado, here we go.

 

    Expert picks--Carolina 23    Cowboys 4

 

    Coin flip--Carolina 1    Cowboys 0

 

    Computer--Carolina 2    Cowboys 0

 

    I could not find a pick from our friend Conor Orr. But as he picked us to win the SuperB owl. I am quite sure he is in our corner as well.

 

    I really was not expecting this type of action. But man, it is difficult to not get excited when you see your team almost unanimously picked to win. Especially against "Americas Team" lol Sunday afternoon cannot get here fast enough.

 

    Just some Friday afternoon fluff for my Huddle brethren.

Yeah and we suck when everyone one picks us. I rather be the underdog any day that's when we are at our best.

 

    Naw, that is too passive aggressive for me. I like my football teams to be a big ol' bully. Come in with confidence, and cockiness. Then proceed to spank your opponent. That is how the big boys play.

No worries. Chris Simms picked against us, and we always win when he does, so we're good man.

 

(Btw, there's four pages there of picks, not just the first)

      Dude... you're just all over the place. You're the one who said T-Mac is better right now than Chark was at his best.

      When I say "average NFL WR", for me, that's comparing him to all WRs in the league during that season/span of time.  He was of course better than those #4-6 WR's that can't even get on the field, but talent/ability wise, he probably wasn't any better than a #3 WR for most NFL teams, he just happened to be on one of the teams in 2019 with even worse WR's so he put up solid stats for the season. Here's more or less how I'm looking at it. Take T-Mac right now and Chark at his best, put them on every NFL team at this very moment, and where would they fall on the depth chart come Week 1 (basically, the teams that don't put the rookies at #1 to "make them earn it in camp" don't count, it's projecting week 1 depth charts). T-Mac would be at worst the #2 WR on the majority of teams this season, (hell, he's likely our #1 at this very moment right now already), peak Chark would not.  Yes, T-Mac still has to prove himself at this level, but his current ability, even as a rookie who hasn't played a snap yet, would have him above Chark on any team's week 1 depth chart. Because again, you can't just fall back on "well Chark had a 1,000 yard season" and use that as the reason for having him above T-Mac.  As he didn't have that 1k yards because he was a beast, it was because he was the only halfway decent receiving option on a bad team that was always losing and passing the ball (the Jags had the 7th worst scoring differential that season).

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      We clearly need to add a veteran stopgap at safety one way or the other.
