Lol. The Texans are literally one of Bryce's six career NFL wins. WTF are you talking about?

The year 2025? Maybe you want to join us?

Furthermore his rookie season is statistically one of the 5 worst on record in at least 2 decades and we had the worst passing offense in the league.

He's not a capable back up and someone like Winston is literally half the price 

Are they not both on 2 year $8 million contracts? Not trying to be smug, just trying to see what I’m missing.

In the interest of getting this thread back on track though...

LMAO. Are you in full seriousness talking about PRESEASON??..

Dude, come on. Who gives a fug about preseason even a little bit? 

If he starts off this season like last season, then I will be calling for his head the same as everyone else. But....PRESEASON????

Coincidentally I've had people tell me him looking good in a joint practice is more important than preseason.

So maybe you guys who are so eager to be sycophants should pick a position.

Dalton is more expensive because of the void year. Not much but more expensive.

I think you are just being an old man yelling at the sky. I don't give a fug about joint practices either. Lace em up and that's when it counts. Not fuging practices.

Practices are for the Ian Thomas's of the world.

Also to be abundantly clear. There is a ton of regular season game tape of Bryce Young looking just as flustered and skittish as the way he did in preseason against the Texans so if your position is it's irrelevant well that's too bad because sorry the word is already out to every defense we'll face.

Yeah and very little of it was down the stretch last season. That's literally what the ACTUAL SEASON is supposed to solve for us. Was Bryce 1.0 or Bryce 2.0 the aberration?

There is no point in getting your panties in a wad about the preseason. We got a few days before we get to see the real thing and start finding out.

 I thought Howell looked good early on in his career. Things seem to have gone downhill fast.

No one has said joint practice is more important. I’ve said coaches are using joint practices to get their starters reps and giving them less reps on the preseason games because of this. They are both just a tool for the staff to shape their depth chart and brush off some of the offseason rust.

'Panties in a wad' is the most current form of the previous 'panties in a bunch' or 'panties in a twist'.  If one were to classify 'wad' as V3.0, which of 'bunch' and 'twist' would be V1.0 and V2.0?  Anyone old enough to remember and admit it?

Well, we're still waiting for the Panthers cut list, what else do we have to discuss?  Smoke 'em if you got 'em.

[Mr. Scot]

You hate to see it.

Okay maybe you don't hate it that much
