What did she actually say?

Either way, do you really believe she was the one orchestrating the entire trade?

Much more likely to was a made for TV moment where she is just basically relaying what the front office was planning on saying.

I know it’s easy and fashionable to blame the rich guy but if anything it’s almost masking the fact that our from office has at this point seem to have done a really poor job the last few years.  Not only with the draft, but also free agency and evaluating the worth of their own players. 

 

Neither scenario is particularly a good look all things considered.   
 

it would be nice to operate like a nfl franchise at some point

You can call it "rich guy hate" if you want but all NFL owners are absurdly wealthy. It's about having the worst record in the NFL and appearing completely clueless.

They're not ruining all football in the Carolinas, just the NFL. There's still college ball, which has been a lot more fun to watch than the NFL's Carolina team over the last seven years or so.

Can't do college ball myself. Too sloppy and just not high enough quality for me. I get the entertainment side but i only liked it when I was still in college.

I get what you're saying. I think the high level college stuff is just as good as the NFL quality. But that's only a handful of schools traditionally. NIL and the transfer portal might end up being the great equalizer for college ball. Then again, they'll just allow schools that can afford it to buy teams. See Texas and FSU for example.

It's not to me. Nothing at that level ever came close to the NFL and my freshman year my school took the championship. Hell buying teams is closer to the NFL. It is as different to me as high school is to the NCAA. I like the way it's going with the NIL but I still can't watch much of it.

Fair enough and as the old saying goes, unto each their own😄

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
