Shame on our front office for not knowing that a player of kupp’s caliber would be injured this year ahead of time 

Was really obvious the Rams were going to be down for a couple of years. No, no one guessed it would be Kupp being injured, but that's just part of the 'how'.

Those picks for burns could have been snoop Dogg high.. But it's too late for that. They need to get the extension done

I think everyone knew that except for Fitt.  He’s been making some good moves for us but he’s been making poo ton of errors too.  Fitt is as average as you get as GM.  I’d love for him to succeed but I think his time here will be limited.

I’m so annoyed that I was 3 minutes late to my Fantasy Football draft and was auto-drafted this bum in the first round instead of taking someone like Tyreek Hill.

Yeah, auto draft selected him as my #1 WR too. Sucks.

That is a completely different experience than years ago when I played in a league with a guy who forgot to show up for the draft and got Priest Holmes autodrafted for him.

A guy in my league has by far the worst scenario I've ever seen in a league before.

Our draft was Labor day and we do a $300 budget auction draft with an 8 spot starting lineup (we have 2 flexes but no defense or kicker) and his starting lineup in week 1 consists of only $101 of his budget and a player he picked up off waivers after the draft.

He spent $42 on Mahomes and then in trying to get the bidding higher on Hurts, accidentally got stuck with buying him for $31 and he hasn't been able to trade him yet.

He spent $77 on Kelce who then got hurt the day after our draft.

He spent $69 on Kupp, a few days before going on IR

And then he also spent $18 on Kamara who of course is suspended for the first few weeks.

That's $195 of his budget that he can't even play in week 1 if he wanted to

BRUTAL

    • We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.
    • I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
