Why do I still have this feeling that Washington got the best qb last night?  I will have to monitor that situation up there. I can't explain it it, it's just a gut feeling.  It could also be gas. 

it's a sick feeling that you might be right. for some reason i just hate for them to have stumbled on something good there.

Now here's a question that'll cook your noodle, is Maye's situation better than Bryce's last year? 

Doesn't matter if Maye's situation is better or worse than Young's was last year. If Maye has a terrible season, LG will say it is worse and blame everyone except Maye for it. The UNC homerism is strong.😄

thats the thing, blank clearly is out of it and they made the pick without telling him.  Thats how its set up in atl.  Here not so much

It’s not about being overly involved. What you’re describing is an owner who has basically no communication with his management. If true, that’s negligence and incompetence, not something to emulate.

Maybe, maybe not. I haven't paid attention to the Pats, so have no idea how good or bad their QB situation is.

they just signed brissette to a 1 year deal anticipating whichever qb they get he will sit for the short term to maybe year,  Bill simmons has talked about this a bunch on his podcast

cousins has a no trade clause

 

Why sign Kirk if you knew you like Pennix?  Blank was supposedly furious last night

i wouldn't doubt it. 

i mean we haven't had the greatest management here for a while, but the falcons doing what they did just makes you go...

 What The Hell Just Happened Reaction GIF

was this planned and they just didn't tell ANYONE what they were doing? was this an impulse purchase? 

but as far as Blank is concerned, he probably felt like things were on the right track and he could have that high powered offense going again and now you just have to give Cousins more weapons or give the defense more (especially since there was so much available at that moment) and you draft a QB that you won't need for 4-5 years because you've already got one locked up with a killer contract for that long? 

unless they cut Cousins, by the time they are ready to move on from him contractually, Penix will have lost 3-4 years of his rookie contract and you'll only have him for another year or two.

blank also wanted to hire Bill B but his front office talked him out of it.  Seems like the issue is much larger then most are aware of.

there's a big time disconnect there. blank as to have some buyers remorse there. whatever is going on, it makes me feel better/less miserable about our mess. just like losing the lost superbowl we were in sucked, but at least we didn't lose like they did.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
