A moment of appreciation for Scott Fitterer… we have a GM

Well see how the picks work out but the strategy if nothing else appears sound. I'm ok with trying something new. Lord knows we failed plenty doing it the old way. 

I second this. 

It's refreshing to see that the focus is on building a foundation of promising young talent to build on going forward.  If they can keep that up in another season or two this team is going to be a tough out in the playoffs, every year.  That is the team I'm looking for.

So if Rhule can salvage the Ghost Rider we may not be as far away from competing as I thought.

What's that? A glimmer of hope? I do believe my giddy may be starting to get up.

Ah yea the draft super bowl thread, we are undefeated, had one for Hurney 2.0 and Gettle too.

We really don’t know and won’t know what Fitt is all about for a couple years.

The fancy trades and moves don’t impress me. Building a team and a healthy cap does. So we shall see.

I like the BYU pick personally. They have a fantastic oline program.

The whole premise of trading down is just an acknowledgment of the impossibility of getting it all right, a softening of ego - which is a good thing in any endeavor. Understanding that your abilities to see clearly are flawed/incomplete and therefore require a compensatory effect. (getting more picks in this case)

It has been proven repeatedly that talent evaluation is more art than science, and there's plenty of room for interpretation and error. With that understanding, you mitigate your risk - you "anti-Hurney".

I love our new GM already!

Its almost like we had a plan and executed it as well. 

David Tepper, always, has a plan.

He has put a model/framework in place and properly staffed it with smart guys...and even more importantly, has made certain everyone knows their role and how they are expected to operate within the prescribed system.

Being the smartest, and the wealthiest, is a lethal combination as it goes to being an NFL owner!

Good times are on the way...

Draft strategy was sound and we added some good, athletic players. I'll judge the draft haul itself sometime in the future, but my excitement for the season is higher than I expected given the passing on Fields.  I understand CB was a massive need and Horn is a great prospect, I just was a bit of a Fields homer the last couple years. 

These guys know more than I do so hopefully Darnold balls out.  I think he is given every chance to now... the weapons we will have around him... wow.

    • Tmac= Slant boy 25 Renfrow= if 2021 maybe the best for dinkin Hubbard= found his hands in 25 Dowdle= great Rb hands Sanders= better catcher than blocker Horn/Tremay/Tremble/whoever get snaps= more than able to run short quick routes or stand in a spot close to LOS. Coker= should be able to add to the group That's plenty my friend along with two RBs with good hands. I know Dave is not Payton and BY isn't Brejesus. This group can pull off a Chinese copy of it tho......
    • The fact that we're STILL questioning if he should be starting is all that needs to be said.   If this week doesn't turn out well, the boiling point could hit soon.  Don't think 0-3 does it, but it could be soon.  Considering our schedule, it may happen if things fall off the rails.   We have 3 winnable games by week 9.  If we're just sitting 2-7 or 1-8 after the Packers game, that would be near the end point of this situation in its entirety.    It took what, a 1-10 start to can Reich in his first year?  I think a 1-8 start to Bryce in his 3rd would be reasonable to politely end his tenure in Carolina.  
    • Pressure or no pressure Bryce Young does not have the arm talent to consistently threaten defenses and open up the whole field. We have seen this throughout his 32 career starts. The Jaguars defense in week 1 only blitzed on 20% of Bryce Young's dropbacks and they still imposed their will and forced 3 turnovers from Bryce Young. I can present you information but if you choose to ignore it and what you are seeing with your own two eyes you are beyond help.
