considering this team has roughly the same mean aggregate talent as a decent college team, it's as if he never left.

bs. This team is loaded with talent. It's missing experience and lacking in coaching in some areas.

Talent and youth are two things this team actually has.

The problem in the NFL is that talent alone rarely wins games.

I get tired of comments like this....there is 1 position on a football team that can drastically effect the look and perception of a team QB. A QB make a team look horrific when the rest of the team as a whole really isn't that bad.

See Jake Delhomme in 2009. Was that team bad or was the QB play causing the team to be bad. Moore came in and provide stable QB play and they dramatically looked different.

Bottom line is this team HAS a good defense, they have a great running game and they have a top tier WR. QB play can make all that irrelevent. People continue to act like the OL is garbage.....but they can not pass/run block w/ 10 defenders in the box consisitantly. Defenses are able to do that b/c of the QB (and that includes the play of both guys).

We have weak opponents this year?

Peyton Manning had a tough schedule his rookie year....check out his division.

New York Jets 12 4

Miami Dolphins 10 6

Buffalo Bills 10 6

New England Patriots 9 7

Indianapolis Colts 3 13

NFC is weak this year. Manning had tougher opponents than we will see this year. Peyton also threw at least 1 TD in 15 of his 16 starts. People need to leave Manning out of this Jimmy talk. Peyton ain't got nothing to do w/ Jimmy.

    • Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?
    • Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess. 
    • Willis was impressive last night given the circumstances. GB and SF seem to just have it figured out as far as QB goes.   It's frustrating, but I enjoy seeing our old players find success elsewhere.
