Ron continues to display his complete cluelessness.   In the real world this would get him fired before Monday Morning.

Really doubt Ron meant anything malicious by it and was just trying to be funny.  He probably shouldn't have said it, but ffs people shouldn't blow it out of proportion.

In the real world People laugh at the joke. In your npc the world ends.

Not NPC.  But what Ron said is a serious HR violation.  Imagine the boss saying that about one of the female workers where you work (assuming you are gainfully employed).

Rivera was trying to be funny and really it was. I seriously doubt Cam has any kind of animosity towards RR for anything over his career... Rivera is VERY loyal to Cam, usually goes both ways. Rivera will be a head coach somewhere next year.... maybe not here and if we don’t resign Cam I would be shocked if Rivera wasn’t screaming to get Cam from the top of a mountain in his new organization.

Everyone should probably put the square wheels on for a bit.

Allen played very very well, but against a less than all world defense.  At the same time, he did show a lot of composure and ran the Norv offense with quite a bit of efficiency.  He and Cam could certainly benefit from a solid LT.

One day does not make an NFL QB.  Panther fans would sell their daughters for a win, so just keep in mind that he needs more than a debut to take over.  Defenses have not studied him, cause there's nothing to study.  It will get harder.  Hopefully, he will get even better to match.

At least Cam has time to nurse his wounds and get healthy.

When we are 4-2, then we can talk about sending Cam elsewhere

If Allen is the real deal then he has the opportunity to run away with the job. If he shows faults and Cam is getting healthy then you give Cam one more shot.

The problem there however is that Rivera and Hurney are probably on the hot seat. Losing games to see how well Cam does can cost them their jobs. 

I love Cam and I hope his competitive spirit rises to the occasion and he takes this challenge head on to be better than ever. But even if Cam is healthy you could make the argument that he doesn’t access the potential of the offense the way Kyle can. Cam hasn’t been healthy enough to fine tune his game and pick up where he left off.  It’s not just the running element anymore. Kyle looks like he can throw all over the field. Cam has to now be as good as Kyle and then some. It is getting to that point unfortunately.

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.

      I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Seltzer · Posted

      10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
