Was just watching ESPN FirstTake, and this guy John Ritchie gave his top 5 teams, and then 32...

His first five was

GB

NE

Pitt

Houston(WTF)

NYJ

number 32 was Carolina

he then sat there and said how Newton doesn't have the "work ethic" and doesn't know how hard he actually has to work to be an NFL caliber QB.

His rankings and evaluation are definitely well thought out and researched...:rolleyes:

On Espn First Take Jon Ritchie a Former linebacker from the Eagles, Went through his Power Rankings. He had the Panthers at 32 Very obivious coming off our worst season in along time. He said Rivera is a mastermind he also use to coach ritchie when he was with the eagles as the linebacker coach and he said Rivera is one of the best Defensive guys in the League. But he said he dont believe Cam will be a good QB in the NFL. He says Cam has had so much College success that he dont know if he will ever work hard to be good.

Opinions...?

who cares what jon ritchie thinks?

Its not about who cares or who dont. It's that our team never got respect and since us been the worst team in the league now. Everybody looks at us as we are the Damn lions or Dolphins. I swear that our team are way better then Dolphins were when they got the number one overall pick. And the lions have improved a whole lot but look at how long it took them. If we keep our running game and makes some big plays and the defense plays we could win some games. Cam doesnt even have to play at a great standard right now. I dont expect him to play at the highest standard, he is a rookie and playing at the hardest position ever. Not right now anyway but if he did I will be a happy man. But if he plays good we could probably go 6-10 or Maybe 8-8 at best.

I cant lie sometimes I think we might have made the wrong decision to take Cam. But then i think about if we wouldnt have took cam and he turns out to be good. Everybody would have look at us as been fools.

      Who will blow it Sunday?

      BPA comes with the caveat of positional value and roster need included. Never let the latter two completely overwhelm the first, however. Our FO seems to lean heavily into "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE POTENTIALZ!!!" as a fourth category and often it seems as the #1 overall pursuit. With as many needs as this roster has, I am not going to get upset over a real roster upgrade at WR versus some reach at EDGE or whatever other extreme needs we have. Overall, I want to see the roster get better. There is far, far, FAR more than one offseason of work left to get this roster into the top 10-12 in the NFL. That should be the goal.

      Passer Rating Differential: A Key to predicting a teams playoff and championship potential.

      I would say we are more likely to get smoked by Tampa, blast Seattle and then perplexingly lose to Tampa again.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      In general, Dave Canales tends to target his TE's the least frequently of any position group(WR/RB/TE) during his three years of running an NFL offense.  However, if you notice this percentage has crept up over time. 2025 is the first year that TE has eclipsed RB in target percentage. Production has also gone up in 2025. This is a percentage of total output in each category. Canales has always used a very TE heavy offense. In fact, on average his offensive formations are 2 or 3 TE sets roughly 80% of all offensive formations. So, the question may be, with this uptick in total TE output, could an elite or top tier TE make a significant impact? I believe there is some evidence this may be the case. Here are a look at TE snaps and Cade Otten specifically. These are the snap percentages for all rostered TE's in every Dave Canales offense. The bolded cell is Cade Otten's whopping 96.46% of total snap counts in the single year he was in the Dave Canales offense in Tampa. This was overwhelmingly his career high. His production was higher with less utilization in 2024, however.    In conclusion, while I don't anticipate ever seeing a top 5 producing/Pro Bowl caliber TE performance in a Dave Canales offense, there does appear to be some evidence that an actual upgrade in our TE room would actually lead to increasing overall offensive efficiency. I think Otten's utilization rate does indicate that the splitting of time between our relatively even TE group would cede significant snaps if a far superior option were available. I believe this is an area we could(and should have this past offseason/draft) made a more concerted effort to get a dynamic TE threat, after the apparent failure that J. Sanders appears to have been.
