I'm hearing conflicting stories about this.

 

Other places are saying they expect Manuel back week 1. Which is it?

 

 

It is if Manuel isn't ready.  They don't know yet.

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported Sunday that Manuel is "on track" to return for the Patriots game. Marrone confirmed that he's "still hoping" that's the case, but the coaches have to get Tuel ready to start until Manuel proves healthy enough to play.

So far in Rivera's tenure we have generally played to the level of our opponent, so I'm not gonna get too excited.

 

Fair enough. But also during his tenure every year we have gotten slightly better. So that could be the edge now. Playing at that level and really gotten blown out by two teams. That is how I am looking at this. Getting better and maybe tipping the scales against the top tier teams.

      We have without question one of the worst QB rooms in the league and your key concern is people having the audacity to be talking about it lol.

      I saw this list crossing the screen waiting for any Panther.  Chubba, JC Horn and Hunt.  It was a crime to see so many that were not as good as these three.  ESPN is garbage anyhow.

      Bingo!  We are on the same page.  Our scouting department was average under Hurney, but at least we hit hit it out of the park with our first rounders.  Our scouting department under Tepper's reign with his revolving doors of HCs and GMs has sucked because the scouts largely stay in place.  One or two may change every few years, but the core philosophy stays in place and I believe that to be heavily RAS influenced.    Looking the part of a football player (physical/athletic measurables) vastly outweighs putting on the tape and deep diving into his stats with our scouting department. Until we change that mindset, this team is doomed. Again, how many of us Huddlers (none of us are professional scouts) wanted McConkey over Legette? Yet, we went with XL.  Why?  RAS score, pure and simple.  If you put on the tape and look at the numbers without taking RAS into account, McConkey was the clear choice.
