All that hype around Shedeur sure faded fast as he took sacks on nearly half his drop backs against the Rams. That sure doesn't speak highly of us.

6 pass attempts 5 sacks.

Damn.

looks like the Lions and Bangles should forget about the playoffs, trade everyone they can, and start over.

Yep, makes sense. I mean, we’ve gone to as many playoff games as they have lately, right?

I know people want to gloss over our badness in recent preseasons but you are missing how bad we’ve looked.

We are 32nd in preseason scoring with 23 points and that’s including many teams that have only played 2 games. Washington is the only other team that has played 3 games and has under 40 points. They have 38 points or about 65% more than us. Our offense, 1st through 3rd string has been awful.

My honest take on his future is he'll have some cool highlights (maybe even a lot) but in the end he won't be a consistently good player.

Of course, his fans will blame that on everyone except him 🤨

The Panthers make bad teams look good. It's a magical power we have.

Man, what is the deal with Howell? Is he a nutcase or something? This is his 4th team and he is going into his 4th year in the NFL.

I don't understand.

He's not very good. Its surprising he keeps getting trade interest

Howell is not a starter, but a decent backup.  He's kind of in the same mold of Hurts athletically, so if he does miss time, they don't have to tweak the offense to a backup that's polar opposite skill set of their stater.  It makes sense to me.

He's not a good nfl qb. Its that simple. 

He has a live arm, and if you don't have one of the top backup QB's in the league who could start for a few teams, that's the type of backup you want to have as they might make mistakes, but they're also going to make a few plays too.

Yet he keeps being traded away by teams who just traded for him to be their backup....for less than they gave up to acquire him

Yeah, something is definitely up. He is either a real dum-dum or a locker room cancer or something. 

The talent level doesn't match the results.

      Night before the game

      I don't know; I think it's close for the first half and if it gets ugly it'll be in the second half.

      The thing is, I feel like last Sunday validated what I have been saying about Bryce.  And this is why I'm somewhat optimistic. He isn't a good QB, let me make that clear before the brigade storms into this thread, but the biggest difference between Bryce before last week and Bryce in the second half of last season was his lack of confidence and willingness to make plays downfield.  Last week was the first time this season he's had that "F It" mentality, the same he had when he came back last year when he just looked and played care-free (in a good way; he had a positive energy).  We need him to keep that energy the rest of the season because if he does, we can win games. It ain't always about being good.  Hell Jameis Winston isn't good (better than Bryce, but still), but he plays with such a confidence that his teams always have a chance.   If Bryce is down to be as aggressive as he was last week, I think the opportunities will be there against a weak and injured 49ers defense.

      I don't have a great feeling about this game, but after last night I have a real good feeling about our chances to win the division. I think we might actually have a fair amount of wiggle room if Baker is out for an extended period of time, especially if he misses one or both of the games against us. 9-8 could very well win the NFC South this year. Hell, depending on how long Mayfield is out I wouldn't be shocked to see 8-9 win it.
