After a rewatch of the game… is anyone weirdly confident about the future?

I think too many inking in Brooks as some surefire stud that is about to just walk into the O.  Lot of sure thing RBs that have been drafted high of late have disappointed.  We haven't seen him to a single rep vs pros. 

Not just other backs' bad history, this is a guy never been in the NFL, coming off an ACL rehab, with no camp or preseason. 

Temper the expectations on that basis.

The only and I mean only silver lining is the Saints might be that good.  We'll see this weekend.  I have zero optimism and zero incentive to suffer through another year of Panthers football with Tepper.  At least in the past we had faith that Richardson was trying to do the right thing.  Now, we get to hear about soccer and concerts.

And what's up with using Sanders, Moore and Mingo to do stuff Leggette was drafted to do? 

I don't care about disguising intentions. You know Deebo is getting the jet sweep and you still can't stop it. Why? Because he's the best player on the team at running the jet sweep. Geez!

That's the kind of football I like to see. Here it is, stop it. Have to be good enough to do that sometimes. All the time would be great.

I think that big OL is the first step towards that but with no defense we won't get to use that much in the run game. 

 

edit: I am gonna go with, on Legette, his unavailability in preseason retarded his integration. I think he is going to be at least what I thought he was though, in time. Which basically  is a QB's friend.

I appreciate this delusional optimism, because I absolutely do not want to go through what I went through yesterday all season. It is also embarrassing for NC, and I hate to see it represent the state.

So here's to seeing vast improvement, and some pride next week.

At least we have the Hurricanes which have a great foundation and owner and they just resigned Jarvis

It’s too early to tell. I have seen games where a team can do no wrong and I have seen games where the same team can do no right.  The Saints made huge offense adjustments in the off-season. How do we know if the Saints are improved?

I recommend giving it two maybe three more games. One game in the season does not give you enough information to make decisions. 

if, and I realize it’s a big if, the Saints go on to smoke the Cowboys in their home field and Bryce has a great outing versus the Chargers, I think fans will feel much better.

By the way, I’m not sure if this game was all Bryce Young’s fault. My question is what happened to the defense?

Surely, it was week one and I assign little value to it as a predictor of the season, whatever the outcome. So yeah I don't think you crown or banish off week one.

Team wise. I do think you can tell pretty easily about individual players though.

And our QB may be a notch or two better than he showed, but also his issues are his issues and were clear the same as they were last season. He is just so limited and the offense is limited by that too.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
