His intellect? I can see who lives in the city or suburbs just from these comments. A lot of prejudice is oozing through here with this idea that everyone from the country are a bunch of bumbling idiots. As I learned from my boss who was recently fired, pretending you’re the smartest person in the room doesn’t make you the smartest person in the room. You’ve literally never met the guy, yet make presumptions based on select publications of him and what he does in the offseason.

We also aren’t a “QB grave yard”. Sam played fine once Rhule was gone and instead of doubling down on a .500 team, Tepper opted for yet another full rebuild.

It really doesn’t matter. Bryce isn’t an area thrower, he’s a precision passer. You need guys who run precision routes and gain separation. This organization is constantly trying to fit a square peg through a round hole and it’s to the point that I just don’t care anymore. we should have taken Golden or Warren, period.

It wasn’t all on Bryce but you’re not winning when you turn the ball over three times and throw for 154 yards. We are lucky this game wasn’t 42-3, because that’s what it felt like. I watch a lot of football. I am convinced we should have taken Matthew Golden and kept Thielen. Bryce needs a quick hitting offense to function.

28-3.

That’s a good decision. I think Brown will have a bigger impact than Parsons. Without Brown, Parsons would have been a JAG, and an injured one at that. Backs don’t usually get better in this game. He may go to Green Bay and be great, or he could fade into injury obscurity.

He’s going in to Year 2. What is your issue with him? What are the other options? Develop who you draft.

You think Parson's has that much more of an impact than Brown? Did you watch the Panthers defense last year? Brown is a perennial All-Pro candidate.

UNCG’s campus signs are burgundy?

Guilford College is a meme?

I remember people here saying it was ridiculous that we didn't draft Hooker, and that he would be someone we regretted passing on.

+0.5 speed

We have ONE of seven who will not see the field on offense. Jimmy Horn also is more quick, than fast. He could probably have gone up to New England with Brady and been a puzzle fit, learning to run the Edelman, Dola, Welker route tree. He's not going to be asked to do that here. He's going to be asked to run a traditional route tree and just beat your man on your assigned route. The comp for Bryce was Mahomes. Mahomes and Reid play a lot of backyard style football with plays drawn up on the fly. Brady used to do this with his quick hitters. I get Bryce is going into year three, but man, you really have to adjust to your personnel. The team is still building as if we have a 6'4 QB starting and that's just not the case.

I'd rather have 5'11, 190 lbs, can run routes better than the corners can. Why does Canales want jump ball receivers? What is his angle here? Bryce played in a high percentage offense in college, with guys who were both fast and excellent route runners. So he comes here and we do the exact opposite.

If I lost 70 lbs I would be dead. So good work surviving that.

Didn't trade him for peanuts. But yes, route runners are a no go here. Otherwise we would have had Matthew Golden or Tyler Warren.

I think he got rid of Rivera too fast. Rivera wasn't the issue here, Hurney was.

I sort of assumed that when we didn't bring in legitimate competition to push Bryce, but then again, this is the Panthers. Usually we won't show our cards until later. But, my disappointment bar just went way down now that Thielen is gone. He, in my opinion, has been the most exciting part of the last two years. Seeing an actual NFL wide receiver play for the Panthers was amazing while it lasted. Now we get go balls galore and have three guys who are route tree newbs. Bryce will get sacked as much as he was in 2023 and the offensive line will be blamed, but it won't be his fault. We all saw what Bryce looked like without Thielen last year. I expect more of the same.

Hayden Hurst had some good years, DJ Chark was a 1,000 yard receiver but can't stay healthy. Miles Sanders was what, a 1,300 yard running back? Laviska Chenault isn't exactly an every down player and I still hate that he isn't here because he has a skillset that I love.

This tells me that the Front Office likely doesn't see us as a playoff team this year. That's ridiculous considering what we gave up for Bryce and that he's in his third year.

Don’t worry, they’ve got those 3 meter thick walls, the super cooler, the pond, etc. to cool off that super computer sitting on his shoulders. We will be A Okay.

He’s a career killer at this point.

The Lions just lost the two coaches which really made Sunday's go. Dan Campbell isn't an X's and O's kind of coach. That all fell on Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn. I would almost certainly expect a regression, maybe even to .500, for the Lions.
