I don’t know if any of our moves will make us more fun… they are all bolstering less than premium positions. but what they are doing is making a better football team. even the wide receiver we traded for isn’t exactly a game changer. I think he went 18 games without a touchdown being the Steelers #1 receiver. and I’m completely fine with all of that. The fun will come when Bryce silences his critics

Trading down for value seems like the right choice with our current roster. however, this trade shouldn’t happen until the end of day1 of the draft. See how things play out and we then have a full night to look at our board. If the board falls favorable, make the trade. If it doesn’t, stick where you are and pull the trigger. We need to guarantee getting 2 starters from the second round. How that happens I’ll leave it up to them.

Justin Simmons would be an upgrade and perfect for the system. Not sure if money works but don’t know why we’d do this if there wasn’t a plan already in place… he was more than serviceable last year

Agreed he either needs to be paid or tagged and traded. The comment was a huge red flag on his effort. I don’t completely blame him but basically admitting you weren’t giving it your all doesn’t help anyone. Can’t deal with another year of that.

Isn’t Josina the one that just guaranteed belicheck was going to be atlantas next head coach? She seems to be well sourced

@Verge everyone and their mother has the panthers picking a WR. Any thoughts/insights on what would be the pick if we end up deciding that WR isn’t a good value at our first pick?

Many reasons to sign him. However, first and foremost, he deserves to get paid because he is not Isaiah Simmons. maybe the only smart decision we’ve made in the draft in the past 4 years.

Dj moore was our bust insurance. Instead of giving a 3rd first rounder we gave a player up. If Bryce stinks again we are picking at the top of the draft next year and can try again at drafting our qb.

Just 1 factor of about 40 that led to our team being undoubtedly the worst in the league. everything needs fixing. The only way to do that is to start chipping away. a GM that can actually draft nfl caliber players is priority #1. A coach that can actually use these players is #2. after that, say a prayer.

Dan cambell without a doubt for hc. get the braniac for GM.

What does Joe’s athleticism have anything to do with this??

Pretty sure players have openly questioned his ability. I’ll pass. Too many better suited head coaches

The hornets and panthers did the exact same thing on their last coaching search. They lost out on who they wanted then panicked and hired someone safe. if tepper throws the bag at his first choice and doesn’t have to settle for his second, maybe it worked this time. Or maybe he hires matt Rhule again. If it was easy so many people wouldn’t fail at it. the blueprint he wants seems clear and based on learning from past mistakes. Offensive minded with nfl experience.

Chubba seems decisive and accelerates through the hole. every time miles sanders gets the ball all I see is someone trying to juke a defender that’s not even there and never gets going, making it easy to be tackled the second he gets hit.

The world needs more ditch diggers. not everyone can be the boss. You need defined roles and individuals willing to excel in that role. It is obvious we had a bunch of egos all looking out for themselves and not enough team first personnel. I blame tepper for this and not Frank. And I don’t think Reich had the personality to realign once things started spinning out of control. seems like a pretty easy lesson to learn. Hopefully tepper can see the writing on the wall that’s staring him in the face.

Joking aside this does give me hope. His durability was a HUGE question coming into the season and he passed that test with flying colors. im holding out hope that his issues are 100% coaching and if we find someone to teach him how to be an nfl qb he can become a field general. his arm strength looks horrible. But someone that knows exactly where to go with the ball can be fine without having a cannon.

Not sure id want to go back and change anything because we won, but theilen did drop a TD which would have helped make Bryce’s day a bit better. On the other end, he overthrew another long pass attempt. Same narrative of the year, Bryce misses some plays he should make, but even when he does make them our receivers let him down. happy for the win. We wanted to see progress and considering the circumstances I think some progress was made.

I can’t believe no one wants bill belicheck after our last 2 coaches. Everyone thinks finding the next hotshot is simple. If he wanted to come here (unlikely) we should gladly welcome him.

I completely agree. And that does make me nervous. However a hand full of those players were lazy, some had no interest in football, and others were a mental midget. I don’t think Bryce is any of those things. My biggest worry is the mental midget part and him losing confidence a la Zack Wilson (Bryce is 10x the prospect Wilson was). I truthfully believe he’ll figure it out. I could be dead wrong. That’s why it’s a game. But I’ve watched enough of the good (in college) to think the skills are in there somewhere, we just need the right people to bring it out.

OMG

I would tend to agree but we’ve gotten to the point of people now saying he’s bad at press conferences and fidgets too much. Seems to me like he’s taking accountability although he may not have the answers right now. I think the hate has just gone over the top and people are looking for anything to pile on instead of seeing any positives. I guess that’s what 6 years of failure will do to a fan base.

My take would be hes scared shitless because he has no faith in this wr corp or OL. He’s bailing to early and when he does throw a catchable ball the WR inexplicably dives out out bounds or lets it go through their hands. He’s making a lot of mistakes and I hope (and think) it’s because he’s currently shook. If he gets better protection and consistently doesn’t have to fear for his life the plays will slow down and his play will speak for itself

And they conveniently leave out all the picks they miss on.. it’s a bit different when you’re in the public eye. Easy to say you’re a better GM from the couch. Mistakes are made from all franchises but it’s always easy to say you can do better while having no experience in the actual situation.. unless… is that you Marty?

This year sucks. Bryce hasn’t lived up to the hype. Some his fault, some not. burrow, manning, Lawrence, etc. all had bad first year. On top of that, we obviously had the wrong coach for him. im not willing to label him a bust yet. We don’t need 40 threads on why he is. No one questions his iq. His biggest question mark coming in was his durability and he’s passed that with flying colors. his height may be a problem and I’ll concede that. But emphatic statements declaring him a bust are absurdly premature. If you can’t handle bad football then I suggest maybe skipping the last few games im choosing to believe we’ll find the right coach to match his skillset and he’ll end up being the qb we drafted. My expectations have decreased from the expectations I had when we drafted him, but that doesn’t mean he can’t lead a GOOD football team to the playoffs (and dare I say Super Bowl). However, this is NOT a good football team. so cheers to Bryce helping us get the 33rd pick in the draft! Damn this bourbon tastes good tonight
