Do we have the guys who can do that job? So far this has yet to be seen and evidence currently points to no.

As a matter of fact this team has a number of individuals who are well regarded as personnel evaluators. All the same it wouldn’t alter the reality of opportunity cost that drives the draft either way.

Supposedly Fitterer is one if narratives here are to be believed. I guess all we have left is the hope they have learned from the Darnold debacle. Still cannot fathom how anyone thought it was a slam dunk to trade for Sam while believing his game film was not a significant determining factor. Of course this whole line of thinking is obliterated when you consider our decision makers made a new PJ Walker contract our first priority of the new season.

No different than Charlotte.

No, we have, or at least used to have when we had somewhat competent coaching, have an occasional playoff run. 

I think that era is over. Rivera brought it (eventually) and Rhule is doing his damn best to keep that era around.

Stafford was with Derroit  12 seasons, only played in and lost three playoff games with the Lions.

I would be surprised if Stafford who is not mobile, playing behind the Panthers rag tag OL and the inept coaching staff, could have elevated them enough to make the playoffs

But do those evaluators have a significant voice or any voice? If yes then they haven’t made a good case for themselves these past couple years and if no then the guy who has the decision making powers is not someone you can trust.
 

Just to clarify I agree that if a team doesn’t have a franchise QB then they need to get one, especially in the draft. Even if the guy Rhule and co. picks will get Josh Rosen’d it still makes sense to still trying to get a QB.

Ah, so we need to draft a punt returner and teach him how to play QB?

It might be worth a try.  Draft the fastest player available, regardless of position, and tell him he is now our QB even if he has never taken a single snap under center at any level, even screwing around after practice.

It is either that or try the wild idea of improving our OL.

Nah, now I am getting silly.  The fastest guy in the draft it is.

How many other Super Bowls have you seen where the winning team on their final drive gets that many favorable flags in the span of less than 2 minutes? We got some blind mice here.

Agreed, but those blind mice bought Bengal colored glasses. 

3rd down, yes that first holding call on the LB was a bad call, should have been 4th down.

Next play you had the dual penalty with holding on the Rams and the personal foul on the Bengals. Not arguing either call, but if there were an argument it would be the holding against the Rams. Exact same block by both teams all day with no calls. Either way, offsetting penalties, replay the down, and let's say its still 4th down if the first call above wasn't made.

Next play that was 100% pass interference on Eli Apple, and there is no question about it. So, 4th down or 1st down from the first call, the Apple play is still Pass Interference and 1st down on the 1 yard line. Same situation we had anyway. 

Now let's talk about the 75 yard TD to Higgins, terrible missed call on Higgins. He not only pulled Ramsey's face mask, he also shoved Ramsey out of the play. Clearly offensive pass interference and face mask with a no call. Take that away and the Rams win with or without that last TD.

Bad no call on Higgins didn't give the Rams any chance as it was a TD on that play.

Bad call against the Bengals moved the ball half the distance, but the Bengals still had chances to make a stop unlike the Rams. Bell shouldn't have committed the personal foul, thats the Bengal players fault, could have moved the ball back 10 yards on the Rams holding. Nobody made Apple commit an obvious pass interference to put the ball at the 1 yard line. Yet still the Bengals had an opportunity to make a stand at the 1 yard line, an opportunity the Rams didn't have on the long TD

That's true, there was a golden era for a bit there. Long gone now. Bring on more Ls.

Pretty much where Detroit ended up virtually every year with him. 6-7 wins other than a few anomaly's. He's not a franchise altering quarterback. That Rams team is stacked. They went to the Super Bowl with Goff a few years ago.

People give Stafford way too much credit. He's made multiple bonehead plays every game this playoffs. He's lucky the team around him has managed to bail him out.

It would look similar to the Lions just as getting Watson would look similar to 2020.

Wheb you don’t have a supporting cast or coaching, it just does not work. That is why the Bengals are so impressive and the underdog, exceptions verify the rule. But that’s in a general SB contender sense, the Panthers aren’t even close to underdog status.

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      By strato · Posted

      So we are all supposed to bow now? Or can we wait until after the season?  The fear is not that he would prove me wrong, it is that the people in charge are fooled again and accept subpar results as enough progress to make a new commitment. And of course, we get the same start to next year as this year and the previous two years.  I am not afraid to be wrong. I have consistently said let’s let these games play out.    I am just unwilling to accept one or two nice games a year or three or four and the rest working around him like we have to do, as proof of success.  IOW I am afraid you are wrong to crown him, the FO will be wrong, etc… And screw you too calling people miserable old fugs.

      Maybe it depends on how the logo is tweaked.   Kinda looks college-ish    (yes, this is official NFL merch)

      Okay, whatever. Some people can't resist taking a crap in another man's cleats. Even after the guy set the new franchise record for passing yards in a game, won that game and won it against our division rivals. Yeah, he's still a frog, warts and all. A lot of you are tired of kissing him. A lot of you just keep seeing the frog and want it gone, for your own good reasons. Truth is, though, the franchise is going to keep kissing this frog in hopes of finding a prince through the rest of this season, no matter what happens. We've got Andy Dalton on the bench, just keeping it from flying up in the air and basically no one on the active roster behind him. We have the veritable murderer's row of opponents coming up, including half of the game vs division opponents, including two versus the division leading Bucs. There's really not an easy game ahead of us unless New Orleans decides to pack it in early and just phone in a contractual obligated effort. The only way, the EFFING ONLY WAY, Bryce comes out of this turning into the prince is if he wins four or more of these games and somehow gets the team into the playoffs. And you can read it here, there are a lot of people here who are actually afraid of that because they could be proven wrong about him, that we could be saddled with a QB they don't like because of it.  They'd fuging rather lose games and shorten the season to see Bryce fail, even if it means their team fails. Man, that's fuged up.  Root for the team or go the fug on. If that means you've got to pull for the little guy in the fight, then you  do. Hell, the odds are certainly stacked against him. But it sure would be nice if we hit a patch of magic after years of futility. But you guys would crap on that, too. Miserable old fugs.
