Hurricane Dan put on a masterclass FA signing this offseason

No receiver on the team can be adequately judged given the absolute ineptitude from the QB position.  With that said, it appears for the first time ever that we have a legitimately threatening receiving corps.  With a professional QB at the helm these guys are going to be tough do deal with, and Dan deserves all the credit in the world for that.

Sorry, but the handling of the QB room this offseason was unforgivable. Dalton was pure ass last season. Anyone with any football IQ could see he was done. So signing him to a 2 year deal this offseason was insanity. Bryce was protected this year. What was done wasn't done in the best interest of the team. Now we're staring down the barrel of a 5th year option with a 3rd year QB that would already have been cut if he wasn't a 1st overall pick. 

We had options that could have been made. Morgan chose not to make them. Whether that was Tepper interfering, which is highly possible, or his genuine belief Bryce is the guy. Bringing back Plummer made no sense whatsoever, and showed a complete lack of interest or desire to do anything to improve the room. 

We can't even really judge DC, because neither Bryce or Dalton can run his style offense so there's no way to fairly judge if it's Bryce, DC, a combination, the supporting cast, etc. It's been a clusterfug. And we're winning games on the back of an implosion by Penix, a defense that's been much better than expected, and a 1 year RB playing out of his mind. 

This isn't sustainable long term. This was a good draft and we've got some pieces. But we also bungled the draft last year, signed 2 overpriced guards, extended Moton for 2 years unnecessarily at that point, especially when we need to sign Icky. This year's draft and FA doesn't make up for the comedy of errors IMO as a GM. 

We've dumped everything into surrounding Bryce and the results have been it's best to take the game out of his hands and put it in Rico's and the defense. 

5 1st rounders, 2 2nds, 100m offensive line, top 10 RB contract for a QB and our offense struggles unless our fa RB who's playing for a contract is touching the ball. 

That's not success to me, it's epic failure because he knew it, ignored it, and now we're in an even worse spot because of it.

 this is better than the year we got Ken Lucas and Mike Wahle

Wahle was a three year starter in Carolina and one of the best at his position. Ken Lucas was here for four, and for most of that time was the best corner on the team. 

Rozeboom is a rotational nobody on a one year deal. Unless you think the panthers scouting department knows something the rams don’t.

Rozeboom has probably shown the most growth out of any of our players from week 1 to now. I like when we bring him on that A gap blitz and it helped us big time a couple of times yesterday

He was unblocked and ran in a straight line. 

zod could have made that play.

He timed the snap well when he blitzed and was lined up in a way the oline didn't think he would... He also led our team in tackles and had several tackles that resulted in no gain or a short 1-2 yard gain. Give the dude some credit - he was a big contributor to us beating GB

He was literally the second player on the defense to run that play that day. It was obviously something evero spotted during preparation. 

im working on a half serious half joking theory that evero is actually the head coach of the team.
