Selecting N.C. State’s OT  Ikem Ekwonu at No. 6 was a dream selection.There is no way that i though he would make it to us.

I was afraid we would do some type of dumb trade back to obtain more draft choices and was greatly relieved when that didn't happen.

The Panthers have the making now for a very good OL,something we have not had in a very long time.

It was leaked this morning that the Texans and Jets were taking the two cornerbacks. Once that happened, and Giants publicly wanting Neal and not the other two, the cards aligned for Carolina

If Irving ends up starting at LT this season, I don't think Rhule makes it to the parking lot unscathed. 

I will loose it if Rhule starts that learning every position sh!t with him. Let him learn to play a NFL LT and that only for a season or two dammit.

I swear I’m not trolling, but how long are his arms? I wouldn’t put it past rhule to double down on some garbage like that

You won't like what you see. But now everyone will finally understand it wasn't the OL that was the problem for Darnold. It's between his ears.

They have to at the least get him some decent competition in the QB room and actually play him in preseason before trotting him out there when it matters. Automatic 5th year option and basically no preseason competition last year was the dumbest poo you could possibly think up

I mean, the state of or QB situation is very obvious. Darnold is completely terrible and PJ couldn't make another roster.

No he's advocating for Sam to get the start next season.  He prefers Jimmy G but it's a no go with the B word.

Heads will explode tomorrow when it's seen by folks in here.

You will be busy with the ban hammer.

This was the strangest draft round 1 ever. Seemed like every team got exactly who they wanted even with all the trades. I knew we'd not get any trade offers Fitterer would like because most of the offensive players were still available and the top defensive players were gone. It was a matter of which LT we chose.

I'm excited it was Ickey. I'll bet Campen is happy too. And Bozeman can now concentrate on center. And Corbett can settle in at RG. It's like panning for gold in your favorite little creek and the flakes settle nicely in your pan.

      You're right. And he's been on the upswing, something that's been a long time coming. And over the last few years, we woulda been better with a Trent Dilfer out there considering everything.  But right now, we got a W following a W the week before. It has been a while since we've been there. And we're at .500. I know that's only a C grade right now, but man, after so many F grades in a row... it's kinda refreshing to be here. Is Bryce a long term answer here? He's still got a long way to go. Could he do it? Those three touchdown passes he made were bang on, high performance throws. And they finally game planned him pushing the ball down field. It was against a weak Dallas defense, but at least they were running a game based on attacking weaknesses of the defense rather than covering the weaknesses of our own team. Maybe both Canales and Young are maturing before our eyes.

      No, he got beat at home by Michigan this year.  The other five wins are against Big Ten and Non-Power bottom feeders.  He's 0-7 vs ranked teams, and each year Nebraska has started strong and then faded in conference play.  Nebraska is 1-7 in two Novembers under Rhule.  This year their November slate is USC, @UCLA, @Penn State and Iowa.  Very possible they lose all of those games.  His tenure at Nebraska is looking very Baylor-esque.  And somehow he's still a front runner for the Penn State job.  Which would be ironic since they just ran a very Matt Rhule like (as far as can't beat any good teams) James Franklin out of town.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      GWDs vs... HOU: 15 - 13, no turnovers ATL: 9 - 7, no turnovers NO: 23 - 22, 1 interception NYG: 20 - 17, no turnovers ARI: 36 - 30, no turnovers @ATL: 44 - 38, no turnovers MIA: 27 - 24, 1 interception + 1 fumble DAL: 30 - 27, 1 interception (that was clearly TMac's fault) Which one of those games was Bryce clearly the reason that the team was behind aside from Miami?
