I went to the preseason game against the Dolphins in 2015.  If anything, it was worse than this one, with our play in the first 35 minutes or so being horrid.  Only difference is that now we don't have Mr. Preseason Joe Webb to bring us back. 

 

I don't know how good we will be this year, but this game is irrelevant.  Just as the 2015 Dolphins game was.  

Yeah in 2008 the Eagles game was horrendous except for that bitchin fake field goal Fumble return from Richard Marshall 

it’s not an exact science but I feel like our 3rd preseason games have always been decent in good seasons and the 2nd was horrible lol

Without Cam Newton, Rivera would be exposed as a moron.  Hell, he nearly lost his job a few times with Cam.

Think about it--Cam on offense, Luke and TD on defense...We got a coach telling reporters, "We lost because we threw the ball too high.."

I really enjoyed hearing his thoughts about Woodstock during an NFL broadcast. Also him being amazed and trying to explain Cam's hat. Mixon is a joke and I don't understand why Tepper allows him to represent us

I would love to hear a three-announcer team of Gross, Delhomme, and Rucker---maybe even Steve Smith---and Rosinski.

By the way, these 4-minute interviews on the sideline during the second half are terrible--but they keep doing it.

Yep. Cam has been bailing Ron's ass out since his rookie year. Can't wait until those 3rd "save my ass Cam" downs again this year.

The heat and wear of Wofford may have just gotten to them. At least that's what I'm hoping.

There's something to this.  I've argued for years that training camp at Wofford is stupid.  They need an indoor, climate controlled facility.  Practicing in stifling heat doesn't "toughen you up".  It tires you out, dehydrates you, makes you unable to practice as hard, and makes you more prone to injury.

Or move it up to Appalachian State where it's cooler and you can get a bit of altitude training, too. (Not much, but some).

I wonder if that is why the 2nd game always sucks. End of training camp and the team just kinda crashes? Glad our owner is gonna pay for some facilities

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
