22 games according to radio.

Love to say I told you so. Love to see it.

Something about jimmys and joes, X’s and O’s? We don’t have the players on defense right now, particularly on the line. We invested a ton to help Bryce because that’s what he required, and the defense suffered.

Where did you see it? Go get a screengrab.

Basically everything I had been saying. Bryce belongs in the XFL. That much is obvious.

Holy poo. Johnson didn’t forget how to play receiver. Dalton through 20 minutes of game time: 10/13 124 yards and two touchdowns.

Dalton has already thrown for over 100 yards with completions to 6 receivers.

Is that a 3rd and 14 conversion? I had been prepared to walk away like I generally do.

Sanders whiffed hard there. Took the wrong rusher.

There is no pass rush or run defense. Had Brown stayed healthy and if we could get Hasaan back, we would’ve been good. You would also think that Morgan and Kuechly could identify linebacker talent because that has been lacking for a franchise that prides itself on that position.

Is it bad that I don’t care what the defense looks like? We scored a touchdown on offense, I’m happy.

Minshews processing makes Bryce look like an 8 bit gaming system.

Can’t run with Bryce because he can’t drop back, action the hand off and throw. So running is pointless which throws off everything else.

We didn’t ruin Bryce. Bryce should have sat for three years before ever touching the field which means he was overdrafted by probably two rounds.

Television people once again sucking up to Bryce. I’m not sure if they are afraid of hurting his feelings or what. They weren’t afraid of hurting Zac’s feelings. They weren’t afraid of hurting Darnold’s feelings. Why do they tip toe around Bryce like he’s some maltreated savant? Bryce played like garbage and Dalton proved it with a single drive.

Dalton has elevated the entire offense and coaching staff. And the problem is he hasn’t really elevated anyone, Bryce was just playing that bad. It’s insane how this team, all of the sudden, looks like the team from the end of 2022.

Helps when you have a quarterback that can call out protections, checks, audible, etc. A lot more goes into line play than just blocking.

Red Rocket it is.

Yeah, Josh McCown is a scrub!!! except, again, look at Darnold. Except Darnold was always like this and aside from one game against the Saints in 2022, he looked like a guy you want to retain, as did Wilks. But instead, we trade away DJ Moore, future firsts, hire a coach who was just fired, and blow the whole thing up. Tepper is a moron.

Nah. That will likely go to Sanders. Can Ward has the Bryce problem, he is one read then scramble drill. He’s not reading defenses, he’s not going full field reads, and that’s what the issue with Bryce is now. Sanders, on the other hand, is making full field reads, standing in the pocket, making timing throw, reading defenses, calling protections and audibles, and he’s been around NFL guys his whole life. To add to that, he has all of the physical tools you want. Dude throws the ball 60 yards on a rope, has a great deep ball, and he and Hunter are the primary reason Colorado isn’t 2-10 or 3-9. Ward is what makes Miami go but he’s a 2nd round pick, in my opinion. He’s playing in a basic offense and relies on his athleticism to play outside of the framework of the offense.

And wtf does being an economist have to do with evaluating if Bryce should be a back-up? You need to be an accountant, not someone evaluating supply and demand.

I got more bro. You’re an OG, you’ve been around for as long as I have. Many of us remember because a lot of us left the board when the Bryce slobber began. What shocks me is that the talking heads in football television genuinely think the Panthers are the issue with Bryce. Bryce is the issue with Bryce.

You’re right about Sanders. I get CJ vibes from him. He gets sacked so often because he literally sits in the pocket to wait for routes to develop, he makes timing throws, he goes through multiple full field reads, and he’s been trained by one of the best defensive players in NFL History his whole life. If there is anyone that could come in and already know offensive concepts, protections, and defenses, it’s Sanders. He has a much stronger arm than people give him credit for and I’d love to have him here. Another thing he would bring, swagger. Look, I’ll be honest, I’m a 33 year old white dude who grew up in a very white area. Some of us can carry some swagger but usually it’s in an understated, sort of confident way. That doesn’t sell tickets or excitement but it does generate a quiet confidence in the teams ability. This franchise needs a spark. It needs excitement. It needs the bright, loud, swagger of a Sanders. We need that self assured nature that when someone questions it, you just roll your eyes. When someone says “y’all are too loud”, we say to “sit back and enjoy the show”. I think Sanders would provide that. He’s his own brand and it’s a lot like basketball, in a way. I think that’s what the Panthers need. Fortunately, Sanders has the on field abilities to back up that swagger he carries. The leadership would be infectious and I think his drive to succeed is huge.

Correct. I don’t really see a huge difference between Dalton and Kirk Cousins honestly. Dalton went to the QB hole that was Chicago and then was in Mew Orleans under their awful offensive scheme once Payton left.

I would consider Nussmeir, Sanders, and the dude at Syracuse to likely be at the top. I do not want Beck, at all. He is on the most talented team in the country and is dragging them down. If we pick Top 10, and not number one, I may be good with taking Cam Ward. However I have the same concerns about him that I did about Bryce, that he is a one read and scramble QB that relies on his athleticism to buy time in college because that will not translate to the NFL. Nussmeier is the real deal though. He reads defenses, he calls out protections, runs a pro style offense that uses pro style route treees, has a great arm, etc. Id also want a look at Joey Aguilar out of App State around the 4th or 5th round. Joey has a rocket and makes throws with timing and anticipation, often getting to his 3rd and check down read before he ever thinks about running, despite being a 4.6 40 type of player.
