I think this is right. I was thinking a lot of Will Witherspoon.

I miss Will Witherspoon. Dude was great and I thought that when we chose to keep Morgan over Witherspoon back in the day, we'd chosen incorrectly. I used to be friends with one of his former teammates on the Rams and he said Spoon was just an all-around great guy and had a brilliant mind.

A 4.5 laser timed 40 in an era where you have to cover? You don’t like that? He will probably play a Chinn type role. 

Well chinn absolutely sucked after his first year and is now off the team. If that is what we are going for then this team is in a constant rotation of diarrhea.

Spoon had incredible Dlineman to allow him to run free. Pep Rucker Jenkins will do that.

More I see of this guy the more I like him. He can ST right away, and moves great for a pretty big guy. 

We got the staff, we got Morgan, we got Luke getting a little interested, and we got a good vet for him to understudy. Shaq will treat him right. 

I really like Legette.

I understand the RB he has the size and build, and he does appear to have great hands. L:et’s hope he likes blitz pickups.

I really like the 2nd in 2025.

Everybody says “I just want them to draft BPA” until they don’t draft whatever player some mock draft says is BPA. One thing that is clear to me is that they are drafting BPA according to their own board, rankings, and evaluations, because RB and LB were certainly not the biggest needs. Most people here, myself included, just have draft crushes on some specific players based on extremely limited information. The teams have 10x the information we do and are looking at 10x the amount of players. That’s not to say they always get it right, it’s more to say the average fan getting it right is more akin to a dead clock being right 2x per day. And you really have no idea, if you were talking to Payton Wilson’s doctors and examining his medicals just like the team is, or sitting through the interviews, or getting direct information from a team of scouts, you may find yourself agreeing with the team more than you think.

Very important point.

At the end of the day, this is their work and they're in charge of bringing the right guys in after interviews.  From a fans lens, we look at the field play and interviews here and there and just hope for the best guy from the outside looking in.  But it is absolutely critical they get guys that mesh best with their approach, culture, locker room.  They're building a workplace. 

They have their board with their blocks and they're drafting based off that.  We'll see if they got some guys that stick this year.

I'm not going to post as if I know anything about this guy. What I can say from watching the videos this guy is a sure tackling LB. Some of his tackles are violent and about as sure as you can get that the offensive player is going down. 

The videos seem to portrait a DAWG. I believe Dan sees something special in him and look forward to see how he does his rookie campaign. 

I have read he's pretty good covering TE and RBs out of the backfield. Sounds like a perfect 3rd down player and once he's coached up to correct his flaws he'll Crack the lineup.

Linebacker is our weakest position group by far

I'd argue that edge, CB, TE and NT are more immediate needs but I do understand the argument, we do not have any depth behind Shaq and Josey outlaw

Wilson doesn’t have an ACL in one of his knees. I’m honestly surprised he was drafted. 

He reminds me of Miles Jack. He will play for a few years but he does not have a long career ahead of him. It's a shame because he's a damn good player

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By PootieNunu · Posted

      It's funny how the teams with the great QBs stay at or near the top of the league every season.  Yes it is a team game, but the QB has the biggest impact in most NFL football games.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By d-dave · Posted

      Look, no one is ever a perfect player.  Since the QB handles the ball on 100% of plays offensively (unless there's a direct snap to a RB or something), I can absolutely see where they get an outsized blame and gain from what happens at any given snap of a football game.   Theoretically, there shouldn't even be a stat or idea to a 4th quarter comeback or game winning drive because you should already have done that during the game.  Losers!  Right?  Just because you win late doesn't take away the fact you tried to lose the game for your team! I'm not a fan of that opinion, but again, I'm just a moron with a keyboard.   Bryce has limited tools.  Bryce has not inspired the same level of confidence in us as Cam Newton did in year 3.  I certainly get that.  We traded a TON of assets to get Bryce, and we still suck.  (I mean, since we've lost games, we're losers right?) I completely understand that some fans are just unhappy with a limited QB and a team that isn't performing well, unless the other teams are worse losers than we are. I will say this:  Bryce will fight until the end.  Sure, he's has some real loser football.   But in close games, he's doing his best to comeback (even against a winner of prevent D). Now is it better or worse if your QB plays their best ball in the first half and sucks 2nd half so long as they finish with 300 yards, 3 TDs for your fantasy points? Who said stats are for winners anyway?  The Panthers and Bryce has a long way to go.  I'm enjoying the winning right now.  Though I do start each game thinking "how will we fug this up today?" Because it's been such a poo show in the Tepper era.  Will he prove to be a legit starting NFL QB?  Maybe not here as evidence by our record with QBs who were high draft picks.

      Ive never liked the term game winning drives because they include games where the QB was part of or was the reason the team was behind in the first place. Ive been arguing against this stat since the Delhomme years. It should only count when the QB is out of the equation of reasons why the team fell behind in the first place and is at least half the reason why he led the last drive to give them a lead. It shouldnt count if they just hand it off most of the time and the RB is on fire and they go down and score a TD or FG.
