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.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.
