fug them.

They cried all postseason and offseason about how unfair it was to them.

Well, look what all that crying got you. Enjoy your 7-8 win season.

I get it. I just have a lot more sympathy for fanbases in the post-Tepper era. We went from dreaming of Super Bowls less than a decade ago to hoping we can just win a fuging game, period. poo sucks. So I get it.

I don't know what happened to DJU. When he was filling in for an injured Trevor Lawrence his freshman year he looked GOOD. Not like good for a freshman like good like "holy poo this guy might be even better than Trevor Lawrence". But it's been all downhill from there.

So did Chase Bryce then he sucked at Duke and was average at App. Sometimes that “backup” tag takes pressure off the player.

Their wounds are very self inflicted. I have way less sympathy for college teams than professional teams.

What happened? Well he was a five star HS QB that had always been a 3 star college QB. He didn't do anything wrong. He just is what he is.

I have zero sympathy at all for the organizations themselves, all of my sympathy is for the fanbases. The organizations get what they deserve. They make their own beds.

    • It probably would be. Given that most 6th and 7th rounders aren't NFL game day material except on the Panthers, the pick might improve us slightly with a drafted player, but I'd like to see us actually be able to open up the field. I do think some of our offensive problem stem from defenses aren't afraid of Bryce's arm. They cover a short field and that makes life a lot easier for them.  If it doesn't work though, unless we get rid of the scouting department and whatever drafting algorithm Dave is making us use, it won't really matter anyway. 
    • I think the Baker/Darnold thing has been overblown. QBs that struggle with the team that drafts them and go on to find success elsewhere often do end up going to multiple new teams before they figure it out and/or find the right situation. It just so happened that we traded for both guys in back-to-back years and neither player had quite figured it out yet. Baker, I think, needed more time and a better supporting cast. Darnold, I think, benefitted from a year on the bench in San Francisco a ton. I don't really have any ill will towards either of them. I think they both came here with the best intentions after coming from difficult circumstances; unfortunately the Panthers were - and still are, it seems - also in the process of figuring things out.
    • At this point this is all I want from this team. I'm done hoping for wins. I just want to see a competitive team for 4 quarters. Come out of the gate hard and don't give up no matter the score.
