If Matthews, Lewan and Kouandjio are gone, we should just draft a LT in the second round. There's a dropoff after those three.

Seferian-Jenkins is going in the first. No way he goes in the second. He's being viewed as the next Tony Gonzalez.

 

I agree on not reaching for a LT, think one of those three will be there though. Not so sure on ASJ. He's a talent no doubt, but he also comes with some baggage. I've seen him anywhere from top 15, to mid second rounder which is about the range I see him at. There's a chance (I'll admit it's small) that he could be there when we pick in the second round. I have Ebron and him pretty close though, and would love either on this team....

It's not hate. Luck and Wilson are quite similar game managers. They're both in run first offenses with very strong defense and they're ask to throw the ball about 25 times per game. Nothing special there.

 

I know I told Ruff I wouldn't feed the trolls but forget it. Luck averaged 39 passes a game in 2012, and is averaging 31 in 2013 so yea....not a game manager by any stretch of the imagination....

So what is the Panther's excuse for not drafting Allen?

 

Doubling up on DTs. I like Short, but he was a luxury pick after Star to me.  Yea they don't play the same position, but when you overload in one area you have significant holes/weaknesses in others (see CB/OL/WR).  We would've been much better served to take Allen in the second imo...

The same game you and everybody's watching. Andrew Luck is a glorified game manager like Schaub and Alex Smith. Those types fades from people's memory in a few years and then the team implode and they head to the bench.

Did you miss the 35 yd laser to wayne in the first quarter? If you really think Luck will ever be on a bench...... He will prob be a HOFer one day

Great point

Not in this new NFL. Putting the ball up 40 times is now the norm. Watch Phillip rivers operate. The whole game is in his hand from quarter 1 through 4. You can't say Luck win when mothersucka only throw a few predetermined slant. Thrust me, millions are watching the game right now and Luck doesn't pop out of anyone' screens. Heck they barely mention his name even though try so hard to. His best drives has always been against prevent defenses in 2 minute drive.

This offense is so much better suited for Luck than what they were running last year Yes it is a little dink and dunk, but that is what he is good at.

A few days ago you and I talked about Cam, and where he would be at in a WCO. This is truly the WCO.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
