Oookaaay. just to review the original topics and where we're at to this point:

- Jeremy Fowler, Dan Graziano, Joe Person have all said that they expect Young's fifth year option to get picked up, with Person calling it an "easy decision".

I've yet to see anyone say otherwise, and barring something crazy happening there'll likely be more insiders and analysts making the same prediction in months to come (especially if we make the playoffs).

- Also doubt anyone disagrees that Dave Canales isn't being retained (which was actually the first point thrown out in this thread) and any staff changes that do happen will probably be backfilling as opposed to replacing.

- Front office? Turnover, title changes and promotions are pretty close to an annual thing there. May or may not be major moves, but there will likely be changes. Heck, there are some prior positions currently unstaffed which they may be looking to fill (Neil Stratton is always a good source for news of that sort).

...

So, questions? Comments? Insults? 😕

Or are we good? 

I'm saving my powder for the offseason.

I think the board feels one way today overall (remove the extremes). 

lose the next 2 games? I’m not sure the middle is going to feel the same about a lot of things and decisions

This board has more moos swings than a schizophrenic woman in the third trimester of her pregnancy, so... 😕

I'm just trying to make the best of a bad situation. You should have seen this coming since the end of the 2024 season. As soon as he starting playing better last year I knew they were going to pick up his option. It looked in doubt earlier in the season but as soon as he started having a decent game here or there i knew it was all they needed to buy in. I'm not saying I like it. I'm saying that's going to happen.

I still think “we” sort of operate with a good for Tepper Carolina overall kindset 

feels like we are forever trying to get back to the Fox/Ron level we were so eager to be done with.

    • There is so much wrong with this post it's scary. First, as it's been explained to you, the Bills call was 100% correct, he never actually had control of the ball outside of literally less than a half second of time, you're stuck on super slow mo and still frames as your proof.   And second, the refs get almost zero replay assistance on the types of calls that make people say they are terrible at their jobs.  Replay assistance is for things like catches, in/out of bounds, fumbles, and ball placement.  Fans really don't care much about those things and if refs are right or wrong, because of the replay assistance (only comes into factor when it's too close to call so the original call stands) They don't get any assistance on the rest of the penalties that are always what fans get upset about and why people say refs are terrible.  Namely, things like holding and PI, both called and missed, which they get absolutely zero replay assistance for. It's those things I'm talking about where it's really tough for 7 refs to catch everything all the time.  They can only watch so many things at once, and that's if they even have a line of sight on the penalty, so many times the ref is watching the play but the player's bodies are between the ref and the penalty, particularly PI.
    • Slowik was who I wanted as our HC when we hired Canales.  He clearly had an idea of how to maximize Strouds talent. sophmore slumps happen, but he fell off a cliff this year and I believe it can be due to getting rid of him.
    • Trey has plenty of tape standing up surprisingly. Guys like him have the technique and IQ to play the position for awhile. Cincy definitely  did him wrong and I'd gladly accept  him.  He would allow us to continue developing  Princely etc too.  Take an MLB or olineman with 19 or trade back and add more picks.  I'd assume free agent rushers would welcome the fact we have good coverage.
