QBs win games and CBs help make good Ds. It's the right call by Tepper but it's also time to put this staff on the clock. Start winning or get better people.

Qbs do not win games. We had one last year and he kinda sucks at winning games. CBs do not help make good Ds. We had plenty of CBs last year and did not have a good D. 

Good QB wins games and good CB makes Ds good. If we thinks Horn is a good CB thus making the D good and Fields is not a good QB helping us win games, then the pick is the right one. 

I am sure that any coach in the league would rather have a top 10 QB than a top 10 CB, but lets see if Fields is such a good QB. And lets see what Horn can do before we say taking a CB over a QB was wrong.

I’m glad Tepper didn’t overrule his staff. 

But there are good odds he was right.  No matter how much we needed a DB, in the big picture QB is still the biggest need in Carolina.  

and just from a positional impact perspective, it’s also easy for Fields to make this decision look really bad.  Given he will be playing QB for a very good Chicago team.....and DBs don’t have the same impact on games QBs do.

I will say that one of the best two CBs was there. Surtain may or may not turn out to be the best in this class.

TBD.  Horn may be the better fit in Snow’s scheme or because he is a better matchup against division competition.

Good on Tepper for trusting his people. Now his people better hope they're right or they may realize they were given the rope to hang themselves with.

 


If Fields ends up being better than Darnold, Dave may never sit on his hands again.

And nobody could blame him.  
 

Teddy was a colossal mistake, and now if Fields turns out good and Darnold does not then I could see any owner becoming frustrated.

I don’t think we see fields start this year. At least not to begin with. It seems clear by the team choice they want to develop him about behind the vet. Maybe throw him in if the vets stink it up.

I don’t expect Horn to play great this year either.  All of these guys you need to give a few years to accurately judge.

      Ticket Prices

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Fees nowadays are ridiculous. After purchasing concert tickets for my son’s 18th birthday and paying the rest of our HHI trip with 3 other families, I’m shocked at how much they are. Honestly, it’s grand theft. Some is taxes but in a world where everything is electronic, fees should be cheaper. Electrons don’t cost 10-30% of the event.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Nope, that’s not the disconnect. In 2022, our GM knew he was going QB in the 2023 draft. You are talking about risking fans involvement on a team that’s been basically bottom 3 in the NFL from 2018 to now. There is no risk when you are that bad. We were right to want Fitterer to tank in 2022 and get rid of anyone who could bring us big value and extra cap room for future years when we aren’t winning 2-7 wins a year. We knew we wanted a rookie QB so we didn’t trade assets for picks and get a better draft slot so we ended up only getting a 2nd for Burns and threw in DJ Moore plus an early 2nd instead of a 1st, which basically lost us an early 2nd. The “risk” to our franchise’s losing culture ended up being around 4 1sts of total value. Yep, I refuse to listen to the other perspective that lost us around 4 1sts of value. At least our fan involvement is so high that our stadium isn’t chock full of visiting fans since we’ve won so much since 2022. Again, you won’t change my mind that we should have tanked in 2022 and had another 2-4 Browns/Horns on this team.
