“Daley suffered a concussion during Sunday's game against the Lions, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Daley recovered a fumble in the second quarter but suffered a concussion in the process. He'll need to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol before playing in another game, and his status is uncertain for a Week 12 matchup against the Vikings.”

I think we all knew it

Sh-t.

Daley is good but his body isn't holding up. I don't think you can depend on him long term.

It’s like a repeating story with any of our promising lineman. If they are solid for any real stretch it’s been all too common to get hurt shortly thereafter. It feels like the injury bug hits our oline more than any other franchise recently.

It's the story with a lot of late round picks.

I've said it before: The hardest part of the Draft isn't deciding who's good right now. The really difficult part is predicting how long they're going to be good.

People get excited when a late round pick or an undrafted free agent look great; and yeah, it's a good thing. The problem is that as often as not, it doesn't last very long.

He’s been OK. I wouldn’t say he was promising or good. He’s stepped up when we needed him but if we want a solid OL I still think, health aside, we’d need an upgrade. Health added in and he’s definitely not a long term solution.

Those 2018/2019 drafts really did kill our depth and create holes. We had 2 extra 3rds and we still ended up with Burns, Moore and meh.

My experience has been that with OL, waist benders tend to have the most head injuries.  It only makes sense.  Stick your nugget in Reggie White's face and see how long you last. 

(The reason I said that:  The RT for the Raiders last night --his father was on the practice squad for the Steelers and he told me about a scrimmage they had with Philly.  Reggie knocked him out during a drill.  He is now a preacher--like Reggie was--I told him, "Reg knocked the word of God into your head" and he said, "and knocked a lot of crap out the other end")

Didn't he leave the game WAY after that or am i remembering incorrectly.

I'd put Daley in the range of good to sometimes approaching very good. Not great, but that's okay.

I was going to classify him as "better than Greg Little" but I realized that's way too broad a category.

He had a good start last year but got worse. He’s not above average which is good to me. Remember how good we thought Chris Clark was and even Little looked OK until he played Atlanta and looked like he wasn’t allowed to move his feet. Daley has not played well enough consistently to be considered above average. He’s potentially salvageable unlike Little. Wouldn’t surprise me if Little gets the Gaulden treatment after this year.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

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

      By TD alt · Posted

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

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

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
