Both of the high profile games today were completely dominated by defense. 14-7 and 17-10. And those games were supposed to feature three '26 1st round QBs including the slam dunk #1 overall pick.

Not uncommon for week 1 games. Especially against good defenses. It’s why I prefer my team play these small schools week 1 if they are going to play them. Gives the offense time to get calibrated.

Yea, offenses usually take time to get in sync vs. the organized chaos that is defense 😛

Was trying to remember where this came from and then it hit me... buddy of mine that was recruited to play LT for a D1 school (he quickly realized he did not want to do that grind and ended up grinding to be a pharmacist instead). He was telling me how it was insane to have assignments and then these pitbulls in front of you on the DL are literally hopping and rolling over one another to change where they're lined up.

Dudes in the trenches are built different... not quite as crazy as the animals that love special teams, those dudes are crazy crazy 😂

Well, Clemson just couldn’t afford to lose their #1 WR that early in the game.

overall, thoughts are generally the same.  This season was going to come down to two things….can they run the ball and stop the run.  I thought the D was actually okay enough.  

Cade going to catch the heat but….  It’s the run game.  Lead RB had 5 carries (9 RB carries overall) in a game that was tied 10-10 in the 4th.    Cade ain’t that good enough to carry a game like that and be out in that spot.  

still think they will figure out the run but that was the worst part of a tough week 1 matchup.  Zero time to figure that weakness out 

Clemson can afford that loss.  It’s a an ACC championship world for the ACC primarily

Yep. Way too early to evaluate anybody at this point, especially quarterbacks.

I agree you don’t who is what this early… and while I don’t think he will be the best college quarterback….Sellars is really the only one as you look to the next draft who I think really has the tools that make you think be might be special at the next level as of right now.

Agree with Allar looking like he has it all. But every time I saw him play last year it felt as if something was missing. Coming back for one more year was a good choice. Will be interesting to see if he takes the next step this year.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      I would say that seems like an odd comment from Morgan, but at the same time it's almost impossible to find a college QB declaring for the draft to have less physical ability than BY so you can assume almost anyone you bring in would be your go to QB sneak/designed run guy.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.
