Draft coverage was TERRIBLE

If you are watching the draft for suspense, or any entertainment value at all, then then you are a nearly paralyzed football addict in offseason withdrawals.

I tried to ween myself off the stuff cold turkey, but it was too much. Baseball is basically my Nicotine patch. It holds me over until the season and keeps me from going into sports DTs.

Ummm Last night was very entertaining and thrilling... and the Panthers did not even draft. I wouldn't call it withdrawal, because the NFL Draft has always been an exciting event to watch.... For me at-least.

Look you assholes, when you show the player on the phone it ruins the suspense of the pick. Let them announce the pick and then show their reaction. Dammit that really pissed me off last night.

Exactly. And I didn't like when they would talk to Jason La Canfora to get an idea of who was most likely going to get drafted right before the pick. This was for NFLN.

The draft is fun. But I watch it like the news; very empirically. I will pour over every detail, but I wouldn't say I was on the edge of my seat (except when the Panthers pick). The rest of the time I am just interested to see where teams are building for the future, where the guys I watched in college went, and if anyone I knew from Maryland got drafted.

I wouldn't call that entertainment, interesting, not particularly entertaining or suspenseful.

Though I should say that coming from Sports Journalism I tend to look at these kinds of events with a more discerning eye, I guess it just seems like business to me.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
