LOL...sorry Snow....

I was perfectly happy letting things play out with Darnold. It would reach its inevitable conclusion with another 5-10 season or worse. Tepper cleans house and we hopefully get someone else in here that knows how to coach an nfl team.  But noooooo...they have to trade for this douchenozzle and ruin everything.

CLE had a really good OL, and one of the best backfields in the league (Chubb / Hunt)

I will say their receiver situation was never great, OBJ was hard to read his time there from a casual perspective, Landry to me was never ''special'' just a high volume guy underneath with some shots deep to compliment, then after that some ''forgettable'' guys or at the very least not household names (Peoples-Jones / Higgins). 

I think we have a better set of receivers, and we have untapped potential at TE that we saw a flash of with Ian when Olsen went down in 2018. Our OL is improved and should be at least average, and our division overall is not as strong as the AFC North has been. 

So for now ''meh''.

Im excited. Im watching the games regardless who the players are. Now we just got better and have a potential long term franchise QB. 

The win/loss record probably wont improve dramatically but If Baker balls out we dont need to use that high draft pick on a QB next year.

Went from a 4 to a 6. From a, "Meh, I'll watch. It's football season," to I'm certifiably interested in watching week 1 and seeing how it plays out over the season. That's got to count as excitement. Pre-Draft/FA I was a 3. If we'd traded for Watson, I literally wouldn't have bothered to tune in.

Probably not a big deal 😕

I think it's going to create some drama at the very least. The drama won't be immediate, but somewhere down the road, we're in for a soap opera.

I honestly don't know how I feel about the trade and all of the potential implications, or just simply the dynamics, but hopefully true competition will raise the level of the room, and not be an outlet for coaches to become complacent and default to certain players in the long term simply because they are here.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
