Does Mikell help us Sunday like Blackburn did against the Giants?

I think if anything Mikel is a liability for us going into the game. If anybody knows his tendencies and weaknesses it's the Rams!

There's a reason he's not a Ram, and I'm not buying the whole "salary cap" reason either.

It will be awesome to see Tavon Austin finally have a break out game against US of all people. (Huddle will implode about why we didn't draft Austin and why we still don't have a compliment to Smitty) Rams win this one in a blowout due to Mikel being burnt continuously in play action by Austin.

(Note: every win we have has been after I post something like this... So here's to hoping that it keeps working)

I would love to meet you.

A former player's ability to help his new team with tendencies and schemes is almost always way overrated.  There is very little info he can provide that the Panthers can't get on hours upon hours of game tape.  If anything it may give Mikell extra motivation but beyond that, it is not going to matter much.

If anything he might be familiar with some of the calls and terminology they use on offense and defense, might recognize some of the formations and have a clue if it's run or pass.  Who knows.  Maybe the Rams are aware the Panthers have Mikell and are planning to throw him off.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
