Best-case, it's Stroud throwing to ditch-diggers and overpaid USFL tight ends. 

Worst-case, it's all of that but Levis.

I mean that might be the case if FA and the draft didn’t exist. You act like we’re gonna add a QB and nothing else.

All signs are pointing to it being Stroud, with Young also being possible. 

That's wishful thinking. Nothing's been proven, and Reich might have a hard-on for Levis. If Stroud is the pick, OK. Still shouldn't have given up Moore. If Young is the pick, shouldn't have traded to 1.

Nothing is going to be proven until draft night. If you’re looking for them to announce who they’re picking right now then you’re going to come up wanting. I’m bummed about losing DJ but I understand that it was all part of the calculus of obtaining a franchise QB. I’m going to withhold judgement until all FA and draft moves have been made.

I had an expectation that if you're trading to No. 1, you know who you want and you don't mind leaking it.

This is the first time in NFL history that's not been the case, and since it's a David Tepper-owned team, it's not surprising in the least.

it is what it is has to be the most quintessential bit of coachspeak of all time.

i'm opening my mouth, and noises are coming out, and the noises even form words, but i'm not saying anything.

I mean, it was maddening at the time but it was a truly beautiful gift to all Panther fans in the long term.

That's not a lot to give up for the #1 pick. WRs are easier to get than QBs. We have messed around with the QB situation for years and it hasn't worked. Now we have OUR choice. Not whoever is left over. We control this draft. 

I would have expected to give up more to get to #1 from #9. 

I feel like i am one of the more pessimistic fans on here, and I like the trade. It means our staff knows who they want, which brings me a lot of comfort because i'm not sure. There was no guarantee that we would get one of the top four qb's at 9 or that it might be AR if we did. I switched my mind and now think it CJ at 1 not Bryce. Either way we now know we got our qb so let's go get some free agents.

You may be right, but I feel they DO know who they want.  But they are being smart enough not to say because that leaves open the possibility of still getting him with a trade down.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
