I’ll say this about Hurst. He’s never really gotten a full season to do his thing in an offense that uses the TE. Those years in Baltimore were a wash because he couldn’t even get targets. Honestly, few could because of how strange Lamar made it. He got some good run with Atlanta that was probably closest to who he really is as a player without splitting time. He still only started 9 games that year and played even less the next season. His career was in life support before the Bengals. Even there it was a somewhat bad spot because despite getting starts, he was still way down the pecking order because they had to feed Chase, Higgins, and Boyd. He did enough to show he’s still a player. 77% of his targets were caught and that’s eye popping. He’s got a young body for 29, but a lot of guys at this position bloom late for not finding the right opportunity. I think he’s good for 600 yards and 5 touchdowns and any talk of overpayment will be gone. I think we signed him less because we were scared of paying the top end guys, but because those guys weren’t our preference. We went out and got the one we wanted. Same with Vonn Bell and Shy Tuttle. Adam Thelein was also made a quick priority. This team has direction for the first time. They’re not just out there shopping for the best names for the least money.

If we could get Hopkins for a 4th or 5th...

I think they should try. He would be returning “home” after all and this roster is not bad. Add a couple more pieces like him and some young talent in the draft, playoffs could be more than just a dream.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      By Jon Snow · Posted

      The Rams wanted to trade up for Williams who they ended up within the end. They even told him that when they called him to let him know he is the pick. The other teams are only an assumption. Like the Cowboys, who took a guard. The truth is the team wanted to trade down first and foremost but couldn't get an offer the were happy with. They took McMillan because they felt he was bpa at 8 plain and simple.
