Found this quote on espn.com today to even out the downgrade quote earlier.

I have no idea who this person is or what an "andscape" is but he likes young id say.

Jason Reid, senior Andscape writer: Bryce Young is embarking on a career that will one day culminate with his enshrinement in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Some guys just have it, and Young is one of those guys.

guys…has a first year coach and rookie qb ever won a division? Let alone go on a deep playoff run like so many here suggest? Like ever? I can’t think of a time.

why do we need ‘haters, doubters, disrespect? must be a generation thing and it’s weird tbh, I was always taught respect is earned when I played ball

objectively speaking the Saints should have this division pretty easily. For now. The panthers will have their turn but be realistic. It’s in a couple years

I listen and read a lot of the national media and it baffles me how many of them are jumping on the Falcons bandwagon to win the NFCS.  Some even think Panthers “take a step back” this year. 

I am so glad they’re underestimating this roster and coaching staff, and they’re disrespecting Bryce as the #1 pick.  

So weird how the during the pre-draft Young was the media darling. Now the switch has flipped and all of a sudden he isn’t any longer.

I have only heard 1 person say they think ATL has a chance to win the NCFS; I’ve heard several national folks say they wouldn’t be surprised if the Panthers do. Most think it’ll be the Saints because Carr is the best QB in the South, but the Panthers get much more love from national media than the Falcons.

However, not everyone is riding high on the Panthers' hype train. ESPN's Doug Kezirian doesn't even see Carolina eclipsing its win total from a year ago.

 "Under 7.5 wins.I am a Frank Reich believer, but what else is there to like? I think Carolina downgrades at quarterback with an undersized Bryce Young. Even in a weak division, the Panthers could compete for the league's worst record."

 

[ SCHUYLER CALLIHAN SPORTS ILLUSTRATED CAROLINA PANTHERS NEWS]      A downgrade at quarterback? From PJ Walker and Sam Darnold? Well, uh, that's quite the take. I'm not a gambling expert such as Kezirian, but I have Carolina winning ten games. In addition to an incredibly weak division, the Panthers also have games against the Texans, Colts, Bears, and Titans. It's a very favorable schedule. Sure, they may finish 8-9 or 9-8 but 7-10 or worse just doesn't seem possible unless there's a laundry list of injuries.

For the most part, the national media latches onto certain teams.

That's because they all plagiarize from one another instead of doing research. All it takes is on "respectable" source to say something and they all regurgitate it.

    • I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner. 
    • How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.
    • I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
