It's insane how we do things ass backwards 

They should have picked Jackson Powers-Johnson and Brooks and the plan would have made sense. I can’t believe they plan to go into the season with a guard coming off some serious knee injuries converting to center with no backup plan. Classic idiot panthers.

the Panthers were the first to take a RB.  One that blew his knee out and isn’t even healthy.  And this is a weak RB class. We also happen to be the worst team in the NFL.    

I mean, maybe walking out of this draft claiming you were the first to draft a RB in round 2 isn’t a brag….and we shouldn’t have be demanded to like or are a Debbie Downer.  That’s just not how teams do it 2024

My guess is they plan to move one of the new guards to center in that situation.

OK, if you were going to build a system around a young, small QB who got hammered last year, what do you do?  You follow the Saints' model and bring in two stud guards.  You add a first round WR.  You trade for an X WR.  You add the best RB in the draft, one that blocks, catches, and runs.  We may add a TE tomorrow. 

You see, when the Defense is not afraid of your guards, your WRs, your RB, and your TE--they tend to pin their ears back.  That makes playing QB very difficult, something some of the more astute Huddlers have noticed.  Now they have to fear our OL, WR Johnson, WR Thielen, WR Legette, RB Brooks--all pretty elite. The Defense is less likely to pin their ears back.  This is how Payton designs his offenses, and why they call him the QB whisperer.  Yes, we will run the ball and I think we will feature motion, short passes, slants, etc. with a focus on YACs.  The RB was an important piece, and I doubt the RB we needed was going to be there in the fifth.  I hate drafting a RB, but I understand it.

Some old heads are stuck in the 3 yards and a cloud of dust days. There’s a reason bad teams are bad and it’s decisions like this

      Did Trey Lance ever get a real shot?

      Some QBs take several years to develop. Maybe he is on that level. He needs to find the right offense and coach to succeed.

      That is a good question. I quit following Cleveland back then after Ernest Byner’s fumble turned into ‘the Drive’ The average fan didn’t have near as much access to information as we do nowadays.  As far as Lance it isn’t much different from anyone. It is on him to perform. We need somebody badly and should take a look at all options.  The gatekeeping centers around physical attributes as being the first hurdle abs then you get into the cerebral and execution and whether or not there could be growth in a certain environment.  It is one option, in preliminary discussions.  I used to bet the horses. This one track, if they changed jockeys right before the race you bet that nag. And you won. Not sure how it applies but it was a cool story.

      I've said it before but he's smart in knowing anticipation within a play's design, but he can't see the live-field to properly layer a throw.  So many issues.. -Slow, shallow drops that restrict sight lines -Because of this, he can't see the field and gets swallowed up even when an OL holds up -So then he bails when he doesn't need to, and can't properly survey -And also can't put the touch on intermediates enough to produce YAC. Smitty would've gone ham on him if he was catching his balls.  Probably gotten a few black eyes in practice already.  McMillan was even looking visibly frustrated the past two games.  The kid doesn't have it. It's over.  It really is.  We've given him so much time for how bad he's been.  Far longer than Zach Wilson or Josh Rosen at this stage.
