At the end of it all they have a playable QB and took a swing on their next up...even if it was a dumb as hell swing.

Given the Panther's situation, that team could still take 2 wins vs the Panthers this year so some of y'all might be laughing a little too soon...

Meh, many Packer fans felt the same way about Jordan Love, but I think they are ok with him now.  

Arod wasn't new to the team, nor did he sign 180milion deal with 100 million guarantees. Plus love was a 26th pick, not 8th overall. BTW cousins has a no-trade clause as well....

I think it made arod win the MVP too....which in itself worth the pick...

The main point of drafting a rookie is for them to play on that cheap contract. At min penix will play two years from now, thus washing out the good part of his contract. Only way this works if cousins gets re-injured or busts. He will be 26-27 and need another contract by then. 

No matter what the saints do, Each cap dollars do matter. It's an awful awful deal no matter the out come. Glad panthers will benefit!!

I see that perspective, but there are some glaring differences.  At that time, the QB in Green Bay was entrenched  or proven and Love was the 26th pick of the first round--not the 8th.  Picking him at 8 was a reach, and people in Green Bay thought picking love at 26 was a bit of a reach (I recall many wondering if he would be a first or second rounder).  Cousins is new--has not even met his teammates.  This will impact the locker room differently.  Since the fans are not that attached to familiar as the Cheeseheads were to Rodgers, Cousins will have a bad game and the controversy will begin.  For that reason, I am not sure they did anything but use a first round pick to weaponize their fan base against the QB they just paid $100m in guaranteed money.  That did not happen in Green Bay--it will happen in Atlanta.  Popcorn is out.

It could easily divide the locker room and the fans.

Good for them!!

Green Bay also already done it with farve and arod, again different since arod fell to 25.

8th overall is about finding a difference maker, not a maybe years form now.

Only way this works if penix is like a HOFer and then it would not matter. Until then, LOLLOLOLoLOLoolos

Fan base is excited.  A black left-handed QB named Michael. 

Never happened before--I don't think.

Keep working that brian, unless I fell for your troll....

Hint- think of Arthur blank pushing a player in wheelchair....

Not immediately, but I would not be surprised to see a new GM in Atlanta if Blank did not see this coming.   Right--a top ten draft pick needs to be on the field making plays, not on the sideline.  This is going to be like a baseball team whose pitcher starts getting rocked with Mariano RIvera in the bull pen.  What do they think the fans are going to do?

      Canales' O - Year 2

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      I truly think we *had* to hire a Canales. Nobody except a nobody wanted this job after the way things unfolded since Tepper took over.  I'd have offered Vrabel a blank check and said congrats, you'll stay the highest paid coach in NFL every year. But I still don't think he would've taken it with the stank we had/have on this franchise.

      Kurt Warner on Bryce Young

      By strato · Posted

      This is something I definitely relate to. I have been saying we have been indoctrinated since year one. Hypnotized. Something. Not sure how to verbalize it. We got used to seeing it. Desensitized lol.  It looks normal now, but the first year and the first couple of games the difference between him and normal NFL QB play that I had been used to watching my entire long life was stark. And as a fan of the team, seeing it was fuging disturbing.  I remember after the first game in September 2023 just being kind of in shock over what I had seen on my TV screen.  And the 3rd game vs Seattle when Dalton played, it looked right again. Major difference. No wonder Frank had ‘that look’.  I noticed that by year two it didn’t seem that way nearly so much. But then I’d watch some other teams play and it was real noticeable.   And I don’t think we really see the arc or trajectory, or the velocity all that well on a telecast with those angles compared to being in the stands. Someone else might opine on that, I have not been in the stands.  I said all along I could see a way it could work, but really didn’t want to watch that kind of ball. And we have kind of done that. Made it work enough to get a playoff game. Here we are.
