Someone needs to tell the NFL that Justin Fields and Sam Howell are first ballot hall of famers. (according to carolinahuddle.com)

Nobody is saying that.

Meanwhile, they get traded for peanuts while both have shown more promise than the guy we've mortgaged the franchise on. That's them hard to swallow pills.

Brutal. Especially if you include the CMC/Burns trades and the new guard/wr additions. Willing to gut your good defense just to see if this little guy can be a decent game manager lol. Hopefully if he's not they'll bench his ass and throw Dalton out there so we can watch actual competitive NFL football

meanwhile we need a d that keeps teams to under 13 points for us to have a chance. lol

All Burns talk aside it's easy to see why the defense finally got fed up with the historically pitiful offense led by Bryce Young. We were 32 out of 32 in offensive yards per game for the season and 32 out of 32 in total passing yards.

I'm still waiting to see anything about Bryce working with his receivers in his own time over these last few months. Seems like that would be pretty important to him given the excuses we kept hearing about a supposed lack of chemistry.

You definitely really see it wear on a unit when the unit on the other side of the ball simply can't hold up their end of the bargain. Whether it's a defense carrying an offense or vice versa. Eventually the carrying unit is just like... "Damn, no matter what we do these clowns on the other side of the ball are gonna find a way to fuging lose the game."

Yes, Burns was in an impossible situation. To be a pass rush specialist and always playing from behind is a recipe for a terrible season.

Seahawks actually have legit weapons on offense. They seem to be trying to patch up the QB position.

 

I would have traded for Fields.

If Sam gets in a stable organization, he is going to play much better than the mess in Washington.  Washington is obviously selecting a QB so moving Howell was a smart move. IMO Howell will prove he's an NFL starting QB.

Having a mediocre qb sets your franchise further back than having a bad one.

What if you traded a boatload of assets to get the bad one?

We're basically left hoping our guy can get to mediocrity.

Nah.  If he sucks the same this year then we have the first pick next year to spend on a qb.  If he is mediocre this year we dont have the first overall pick and we still have no idea what we are doing at qb.  Crying over the past is getting a little old now.  After the 2nd next year all of that will be in the past.  It does no good to focus on that anymore.

What's also in the past though? DJ Moore's tenure as a Panthers and the opportunity cost of the picks we gave up to get to #1 and who we passed on to take Bryce. This is shaping up to be the most disastrous move in franchise history.

The whole roster is close to turning over.  The old HC and GM are gone.  Now we see if Bryce is good enough or not.  If he isn't he will lead us to his own replacement.  No one can change what has already happened.

I agree. But it's not the past yet. We're still in this poo right now. We won't be out until Bryce sinks or swims.

    • 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
    • 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.
