Yeah, I care more about how the team performs and if the game plans look sound. It's acknowledged that we dramatically lack talent(I know people get upset to hear this) but it is actually very true. We are a team lacking in overall talent. That will manifest itself several times this season, most likely.

The sky will not fall if that is the case. It just is what it is.

Some people also need to use this year to step up and become the talent we need so it could grow...theoretically.

We deffinatly need to figure where the talent is and isn't this year. That is way more important than wins or losses IMO.

Think this game will be a shootout - don't think it's likely we'll be able to stop Burrow, Chase, and Higgins from lighting up the secondary with the still anemic pass rush, but their run game doesn't scare me at all and their defense is just as bad as ours looked week 1 and 2.

If the Panthers are to win this one, it's going to be something like a 31-28 close game. Our best bet is to be able to get an early lead and then play keep away from Burrow by bleeding clock with Hubbard and short Dalton throws moving the chains.

I bet if Young was out there and we won the media would gush over it. Dalton will get no such love though.

I don't think it is as much about us/Dalton as it is Burrow/Chase/etc. Those are NFL centerpiece star players. They will obviously always get much more coverage.

Look at the shift from our coverage once Bryce wasn't the focal point. He was the only guy on our roster that had anywhere close to national visibility and that is from college/#1 overall draft. It isn't anything he has done in the NFL.

Dalton is giving me Delhomme vibes right now in terms of who he is at this point in time.  He’s a journeyman QB with the tools that was in a backup role and elevated to starting. He’s a gunslinger playing with house money and knows how to get it done. Not saying he is not flawed but that attitude can carry a team. 
 

Dont know if we win or lose or if Andy can repeat last week but the team is on the way to having an identity which has been missing for some time.

If we win, the media won't be talking about how good we are, but how BAD the Bengals are.

Who cares? I don't the 15-1 season all they did was talk about weak schedule and how the Cardinals were better.

 

Heck at this point I'm happy with the games being watchable and exciting.   

If we keep winning and can sneak into the playoffs I'd be jumping for joy.

      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.
