black writing is so vogue but this is the quote that interests me, care to elaborate on those reasons I'm honestly curious 

"We didn’t go after Fields for numerous reasons"

Outside of the Epilepsy reports that could’ve scared off people. We invested a decent amount into Darnold. Building his confidence is the first step to finding out who he really is. Getting another QB doesn’t do that. I for one was glad we didn’t after seeing his reaction to being drafted and to how he nailed his Bears interview. He gives me Haskins vibes solely on his demeanor of investing in himself. He comes off more self driven than team driven. Accolades don’t win championships, there are many franchise QBs that will tell you the same. Not saying he won’t possibly be good but he wasn’t a fit for what the FO wanted and honestly I feel confident in the way they have been drafting. Defense will always win championships. You just need a smart decision maker behind center that can show arm talent when needed.

The man put his body on the line in that Clemson game and played injured while crushing that team. He has a desire to win and was pissed at dropping in the draft. That was a “I’m going to make you regret passing on me” look. There is nothing wrong with that. I hope he does well in Chicago, but I hope Horn becomes the next Revis even more!

      Every Xavier Legette target 2023

      By frankw · Posted

      I know we're in the hopium phase of the year right now but this is all over the game film that every defense we face is going to be waiting for. If Bryce keeps doing this sooner or later we are going to be stuck arguing over why this or that receiver sucks because they can't bail out Bryce all the time. Legette would just be next in line. Bryce is a first overall pick. He's got to figure out how to get some more torque out of his arm. These yarns about his frame and this and that just seem like an excuse to justify him not wanting to lift weights. He's got to match the output of his offensive counterparts who have been putting in the work.

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By d-dave · Posted

      Well, if we'd sat Bryce then we'd have gone 17~0 on the way to Superb Owl win!  Of course right? Honestly, it's one of those Schrodinger's Cat situations.  There are an infinite number of possibilities that it could have been between: Worse and Better.   Dalton would have looked better.  We'd have won more games.  Reich would probably be going into year two with Scott Fitterer at GM.  Would we be a be a better team? We would have zero idea if Bryce was the dude, kind of where we are now.  Except Bryce would not have had as much adversity.  With QBs in the NFL, you don't have much time to evaluate.  You used to be able to sit guys for a year or two, but now a days, you are up and playing week 1. I think we'd be in worse shape honestly.  I like how things are going right now under D&D.  I am not sure Fitterer would have done any better in FA or the Draft or if Reich would have shown his coaching acumen any better in 2024. So instead of changing the past, we have to keep looking forward.  Learn the lessons from the past, but keep moving forward.
