There's a lot more evidence to suggest they have no idea what they are doing.  There is very little to point to that says "these guys know what they are doing".  That is reality.  Sorry.  I hate it too, but I'm done denying it.

The draft last year was very good to great.  Our star CB first rounder got injured.  It happens.  Our second round WR wasn’t ready yet.  Normal.  Brady showed some talent.  Hubbard was really good.  Tremble looks promising.  The rest we will see but that was a very good draft

I mean dude come on. He’s right on that. A long time college and NFL head coach and an NFL GM definitely know more football than 99.99% of the randoms online. 

So what?  They are ineffective at an NFL level.  All that takes is observation of their performance relative to their peers.  We don't need to be one of their peers to observe the results of that.

Sam Darnold is a better QB than anyone on this board, but he is a bottom of the barrel tier QB at the NFL level.  We don't have to be NFL QBs to evaluate that.

I get being optimistic, but I'm past the point of no return with this administration.  It just tickles me to deny any rumors that we've offered packages for Watson, because our front office is too smart for that.

Which QB last offseason would have solved all our problems?  Please enlighten us

We had to get a new QB…there is no way anyone could stick with Teddy.  Anyone denying that would be crazy 

I mean maybe Justin Fields…who I wanted but that ship has sailed

Dude Rhule and Fitty know more football than you could ever imagine.  Stop being ridiculous 

This argument gets repeated on here often. Of course they know more than fans. The thing is it's irrelevant.

Rhule and Fitty need to know more and be better than the guys they compete with like McVeigh and Arians and Snead and Licht.

One starter who missed 75% of the season doesn't strike me as a very good draft.  Marty pulled that off with his eyes closed.  They contributed some which is a welcome change but I wouldn't be betting on them working out.

NFL draftees can’t get injured?  Good luck with that

That has nothing to do with anything I posted, but I'll bite.

There is no QB that would have solved all of our problems.  There will never be a single player that solves all the problems on a team by himself.  But the answer certainly wasn't to trade away Teddy so that we could trade away draft choices and commit significant money to Sam Darnold for 2022.  Signing Teddy was a mistake too, but at that point it would have been best to just roll with him.  But if we had to move on from Teddy, the answer was literally any other veteran FA or cheap trade target.  (5th or worse round pick)

Rhule and Co have gone in big two seasons in a row on QBs they shouldn't have.  (63M for Bridgewater and picks plus 5th year for Sam).  Going all in on Watson is not outside of the realm of possibility for them IMO.  Especially considering this is likely a make or break year for Rhule.

Edit:  And on Horn, yes he looked impressive.  But if Darnold was the one who got hurt in that game against Houston, do you think that changes how we view Darnold now?  Just something to think about.

Arians?  LOL.  The Panthers are going to look so different this coming season.  All you guys will feel bad

Hey man…I appreciate the post.  Every comment you made is hindsight.  It is extremely easy to evaluate things after the fact,  but incredibly hard to make the calls

Oh, I have little doubt that the Panthers are going to make me feel bad, but it won't be because they exceeded my expectations.

I agree with what you are saying. In addition, I wonder how if the impending loss of Reddick's pressure will always impact our DBs

      ESPN's All Quarter Century Team 2000-2025

      By TD alt · Posted

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.

      So where can I find out tailgating parking spots for the season?

      By toldozer · Posted

      I parked in this lot a few times. It would take over and hour to get out of that lot after games. Never again
