i hit the pie button by mistake and there are a ton of t. austin fans here...it was a lame joke, sorry

im just chasing my tail just like everyone else around here with predictions

I was very slow...but I get it now. I'm not saying I hate the guy - and if we do select him I could grow to like him. But he's not in my top 5 at #14.

Hopkins has done some good things in college, but he reminds me too much of Darvin Adams. 44 maybe, but definitely not 14

That is a deservice to Hopkins, while they might be roughly the same size, Nuk has better speed, is a exceptional route runner, better ball skills, and is physical after the catch. Adams wasn't a good route runner, didn't have that good of ball skills, and wasn't going to fight after the catch, there is a reason he was cut after a year and is now in the CFL.

If he was going to catch on with any team, it'd be a team like us who was thin at WR and has his college QB, and he still failed. Nuk would be a immediate #2 on many teams.

Unless Hopkins gets caught doing cocaine off a dead hooker....he won't be there at 44 to ponder.

I wouldn't be mad at all with Hopkins at 14. Like others have said, if he's your guy then take him.

Trading down would be ideal, not because he's not deserving of being taken at 14, but for the simple fact that we only have 5 picks and could really use some extra picks. This would mean possibly netting an extra 2nd or a 3rd and some other picks.

If we think D-Hop has some juice, the only way I see us taking him at 14 is if Tavon Austin is gone. As has been stated, this may be the forerunner to a trade down. Perhaps we will trade down, or maybe, just maybe, we pick Austin and trade him for D-hop and a third round pick if the cards fall right. The Pats, Ravens and the 49ers are reportedly some of the parties interested in Austin's services. At best we get D-Hop and a 3rd, at worst, Austin.

      Canales needs to concentrate on coaching

      By Waldo · Posted

      That should have been this year. Tough to sell to anyone worth getting when this crew is going into year 3 on the hot seat. I still think keeping Evero will sink them all after last year's showing. If/when he is scapegoated they need to show improvement or it's likely to be so eone else's problem next year. I do agree in principle tho, it all should have happened after last year's problems.

      ESPN's Benjamin Solak on Bryce Young

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      I've listened to some things that have calmed the "Bryce was flat out terrible" to just "he was really bad" in Week 1. It's Year 3 though, and that shouldn't be the barometer. I've got 1% hope left for Bryce, and that's just blind homerism coming out.  I'm scared that as much emphasis as the team places on advanced stats and PFF that the team *doesn't* think Bryce was that bad in Week 1. Couple that with so many of the QBs in the league looking rough, offense being down in general, and I feel like there's a lot of "what if's" going on in the building instead of facing the music.  Lose Week 2, and we should switch the main focus back to building/churning the roster, evaluating young guys, and hoping our next QB can have a Jayden Daniels level of impact. As we're all well too aware of, QB is a crapshoot a lot of the time. Admit we made a bad pick, and go draft another. And another. Repeat until correct.

      I wouldn't want any of those starting as a rookie on day 1.  That said, we need a vet, that is not Andy Dalton, that can be the starter while a prospect grows and learns on the sidelines.
