I knew Mr. Scott was a veteran, just wanted to make sure he had sat threw all of our pain. You most likely a teen in the Cam Super Bowl.

Every second of it, including fifteen seasons of Marty Hurney and the past three years of Matt Rhule...

This is a new team and regime, though.

It's way too soon to know who and what they'll be, but I like their pedigree. Actual NFL experience is a huge step up from The Meatball.

I was in high school (and a 49er fan at the time) when The Catch happened. I think I jumped about as high as Clark did 😃

My first football memory is of The Immaculate Reception. I was five and my family had the game on at my grandma's house. Saw that play happen and was like "What is this?"

Fifty years later, I've played, I've coached, I've studied...hell, my wife gets me books on coaching and scouting for Christmas.

And in all of it, I've learned...

... patience.

Said elsewhere: It's a marathon, not a sprint. The team you see today will likely beat little to no resemblance to the one you see in December.

That's why rushing to judgment is a mistake.

I know I overreact. I'm so pumped for this year cause I feel myself slowly fading. Got the Mon. night game with my son. Few weeks later taking my nephew to game. I'm running out of time and time for next year!

? Um, okay. Not sure what you are trying to say here? Do you catalog goofy posts, or are yo just going off memory? 

You are on your high horse calling takes goofy.   That’s the point.   And you had some of the proven goofiest takes this time last year. 

and the people who got it right last just called a spade a spade.   Some type folks you are raging at again.

I've overreacted loads of times in my life, but luckily through the years I learned a thing or two.

Heck, just two seasons ago, we thought we were a lock for the playoffs after four games, but by December we saw the truth and most of us were calling for Matt Rhule's head.

Further back in 2003, we were (likewise) riding high for the first four weeks before the Tennessee Titans cleaned our clock in week five. The narrative pretty much everywhere was that we'd been exposed as pretenders, but that year ended in some of the best memories we have.

You never know...

So far Frank Reich needs to be fired because he won’t get mad during a preseason game. Icky is a bust and should try to move to OG. We should bench the top pick in the draft to save him. Our exact same OL last year will be worst than 5 Byron Bells on the OL. The Huddle is a preseason emotional roller coaster.

There are no free lunches here the coaching staff knows what's at stake and no matter how many keystrokes are wasted about how it's only preseason they are not at all satisfied with some of the things we've seen. At this point both sides of the fence of this are overbearing and need to take a break or two.

I would say The Huddle is an emotional wreck.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      If Canales comes back and Bryce doesn’t I would probably prefer to bring in 3 guys he likes from around the league or maybe outside a top ten pick and work through them, give that a shot. Because if we win a few more games we won’t be in the running for the top rated QB prospects anyway.

      You mean tepper but yeah I agree about rhule   Baker is a top 3 potential qb that is play for mvp and he is doing it with a slew of injuries

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      There’s too many to reply to so I’ll just say a couple more things then I’m out: 1. It hasn’t been both ways and that’s the point. People saying stuff like “too bad Bryce Young didn’t make that tackle” is a direct result of the ridiculousness of blaming Bryce Young for literally everything. I remember one game day thread a poster unironically blamed Bryce Young for JT Sanders flipping onto his own neck and injuring himself. That post was pied. I literally just read a post blaming Bryce Young for XL dropping a ball on a would-be game winning drive last year. This past week, when Tmac bounced a ball off his hands for an interception, Bryce Young was immediately blamed in the game day thread. Alternatively, people who try to give credit to Bryce Young are immediately told that to credit Bryce Young is taking away credit from Rico Dowdle, OL, whoever, and that they shouldn’t be talking positively about Bryce Young because he doesn’t deserve any credit. 2. Yes, there have always been bad posters, the difference is that back then they were largely derided. Bryce Young’s rookie season, when many of us were simply pointing at the train wreck of the whole team and saying it was maybe a little tough to evaluate Bryce Young when he had no time to throw and slow receivers, and just saying basic stuff like “Bryce Young can physically throw the ball further than 20 yards.” There was an attempt made to limit all those opinions to a single thread, by a mod. This is like saying lunatics running the asylum is normal because there have always been lunatics in the asylum. The difference is before they were patients, now they’re in charge. 3. I know for a fact I am labeled as one of the “Bryce Stans” by many of the usual suspects, but the fact of the matter is they have no idea what my position is on Bryce Young because any attempts at nuanced discussion in the past have been so completely pointless due to never being able to get past the hyperbole. How can we have a serious conversation if you insist he is physically incapable of throwing a football 20 yards? Or if you insist that he somehow duped the Panthers into drafting him just by drinking water? Or if you insist that he should be able to succeed behind one of the worst offensive lines I’ve ever seen (rookie year, not now). And I’m not the only one, there are many who have left the huddle because of it and started a discord server, I’m just too lazy for another app.
