The reviews got to his head from last year. 

Honestly wondering if there isn't some truth to this. He looked horrible in the preseason and then they'd interview him on the sidelines and he acted like everything was just great. Like bro, you looked like a speed bump out there tonight. 😂

Maybe we switch him to Left Guard and let Brady take back over Left Tackle since he is really having problems with speed rushers.

OI am talking about when Brady comes off IR or next year. This would give him the offseason to work on his new position. It can't be any worse.

I'm beginning to feel about Icky how I feel about Bryce Young. Great guy intelligent says the right things but simply does not look like a good football player. Both could pull a 180 and turn things around this season or even next season. Or this is just what they are in this sport. Feel good stories do not always amount to All-Pro NFL players. But they do have one thing going for them and that is our head coach looks like a complete dud of a hire and we need to get a look at them and everyone else on offense with a different coach running things. Reich is not the guy.

Just thinking back to this off-season and preseason the whole vibe from this team, staff, front office, ownership, fanbase, just everything from the top down. We had ARRIVED. It's all fixed now. 

Whoops.

Definitely some players and coaches started believing their own hype. But the cracks were surfacing as early as week 1 in preseason. Since then we've only regressed further with our super processor QB. Beyond how we feel about our offensive roster because we've argued it into submission at this point. Reich should not survive this season. I don't care about people saying it's early. He's already been fired before and he's not a young offensive mind. He's Ron Rivera on offense. Time to go.

Hence the it’s just preseason, doesn’t matter. We just don’t want to give the Falcons and Saints too much before we play. Welp, preseason does matter when the team after 4 regular season games looks like the team that played the Jets.

Who knows. Everything is broken right now. 
 

Just hoping Brown will be allowed to call the offense soon. Maybe Frank has screwed this up. 
 

It’s basically throw your hands up in the air time right now. Everything is difficult on offense. 

I think thats the worst part for me.  EVERYTHING seems difficult.  Even a 5 yard run.  We hardly ever have somebody just hitting a hole and running clean, or a WR wide open streaking across the field.  Its like we have to claw and grab for every single inch on the field.  It doesn't help that our entire offensive playbook seems to consist of about 7 plays.

Everybody keeps wanting draft picks but WE CAN'T DRAFT. Do what the rams do, trade the picks and open the check book for veterans. It also really only seems that players with established families who's wife hold the family jewels want to end up in Charlotte. There is really nothing going on there. Cam was it. Oh jee golly Bryce ain't.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
