Watching stroud play well vs pillows shitting the bed ever…single..Fu king…game. I hate this team. I hate pillows. This team sucks. I bet pillows doesn’t throw for 98 yards tmrw. In fact, that weak ass noodle arm bust will have a stat line of 12-32 for 96 yards and 2 ints and a fumble tmrw.

With Young they’re picking first, with Stroud we’re in the playoffs. 

Hard for me to disagree....

Blows my mind that former NFL QBs frank reich and josh mccown meet with young and was like "This guy is a NFL QB". If they felt different, they didnt effect the dumbass scouts that loved his college game. Cannot believe alllllllllll the draft think tank didnt understand a 5'9 180 LB with a weak arm was a NFL #1 ovverall pick.

I honestly think Bryce is probably 5'9" on his best day.

Everything about his combine appearance was for measurables. Hid under that hoodie to hide his gut from porking up to step on the scale. Rocked that little baby 'fro to add some height. The guy is probably legit 5'9" 175. That was me as a freshman in HS.

Bryce was measured at 5-foot-10 and 1/8 inch at the combine. We can safely deduct that 1/8 inch due to his pineapple hairstyle. On top of that, he was measured in the morning. Since adult males lose about 2/3 of an inch on average during the day, Bryce is likely 5-foot-9 and 1/2 inch before he goes to bed, tops. 

None of the pre-draft hype about Bryce panned out, not to mention he didn't throw or run at the combine, and he probably packed on 15 to 20 lbs of water weight to tip the scale in his favor at the weigh in. We now also know that he's been practicing for the S2 test since high school. Bryce really put on a masterclass in dishonest marketing. He gamed the system, and the Teppers took the bait hook, line, and sinker.

Well in all honesty it was Tepper that wanted Pillows.

Pillows sucks and will go down as one of the biggest busts in NFL history

Bryce, right or wrong, is the tangible personnel evidence of Tepper’s franchise failures 

I pray I’m wrong for the franchise, but he sure doesn’t look like he belongs in the NFL, on any level

cmc, DJ, gone, for Minnie Mouse

when a fan goes into each Sunday hoping for participation trophies from a player that cost the franchise dearly, it’s a sad situation…for the player as well

 

I get what you are saying there. What I don’t get is the gloating in which many fans take part because they wanted Stroud over Bryce. Your gloating is only possible because the Panthers made the wrong pick. Why would a fan want to gloat about that? That’s what I’m not understanding.

Every team is one QB away from contending. For every flaw this team has, get a QB and you can be a playoff team.

I also keep my own receipts !!!
I had a few where i was trying to convince myself id be okay with the bryce pick. But most of my takes especially the early ones were spot the fug on

Same. After watching CJ TORCH that vaunted Georgia D, that's all I needed to see.

It's not gloating, it's saying "I fuging told you!"

It's anger at the stewards of the organization failing so badly.

Minshew is trash!

 

They didn't trust him for a reason. That pass was behind the rb who was wide open.

That ball was perfectly catchable. The Colts just picked an absolutely baffling time to take their starting RB who is their best player out of the game and throw to their 3rd string RB on the decisive play of the season. Goodson dropped it. Period. Could the throw have been better? Sure. But if that's Jonathan Taylor they move the chains. They had their best player standing on the sidelines probably even more confused than they were about it. I bet that guy tore the fuging locker room apart after the game. 

You say they didn't trust Minshew yet they put the ball in his hands on THE play of the season while their best player was standing beside their coach wondering why he isn't in the game just to watch his backup blow it. That's on the coaches.

It isn’t gloating 

it’s bitterness towards an owner and his staff that has ruined this franchise 

picking young just exemplifies all of it  meaning ‘I don’t care if he is the smallest qb to ever play, I’m Dave Tepper, draft him’

his flaws technically are in film for all to see but a nice dinner with Dave, Nicole and Fitterer was all it took 

nothing like trading away what was left of decent personnel for a 5’ 9” Qb.   Nfl ain’t college  

when legendary coach Bill Parcells was asked about young given the height concerns and the price paid, he said ‘he better walk on water’

i aint seen a whole lot  of walking   I see a lot of, Bryce  threw 2 TDs this game…participation trophies

I honestly doubt they did. Tepper was sold and at the end of the day that's all that mattered.

Minshew sucks deal with it.

The running game is what got them back in the game.
