top dawg

True, but Flores is the only one that finished with a seven game winning streak, and bested Bill Belichick in the win-loss column (including sweeping him) during the Patriots hey day.

Belichick had a losing record at one point. It's not how you begin, but how you finish.

America was built upon playing the race card, and those in power still refuse to make rational decisions because of it. So...miss me with that.

I think there's definitely something there. The streak that Miami went on was impressive. I'm not getting into the minutiae of whether Tua was ready at that point because he wasn't.

Believe it!

Ickey's improvement over four games has been very evident. I have no qualms at all saying that we've finally found our LT for the next decade.

The thing that I like about Fitterer is that he doesn't just rest on his hands, and is always opportunistic when it comes to upgrading the team. I also like that he learns. He screwed the pooch with Darnold by giving too much, but then he got Mayfield for very little. We were in a bind after the Darnold trade, but no one's gonna lose sleep over a 5th (if it comes to that, which is up to Rhule). Moreover, people want to cry about the Henderson trade, but CJ is developing. Sure he's given up a couple of big plays which has led to some inconsistency, but I saw only one awful play. The other could have easily been judged as a tangling of feet. Even still, in my mind, he's playing like a third-rounder with upside. All the obvious improvements along the O-line have been mentioned. The LB play hasn't been bad. Both can be attributed to Fitterer to varying degrees. This is his second year, and I've been encouraged. Fitt may not have hit his stride yet--and I certainly don't believe that he's hit his ceiling, but he's above average in my estimation.

Was just going to say the same thing. Fitterer hate is not quite justified.

Byron Leftwich.

CMC is not a receiver, that's the reason he is effective as a pass-catching RB; he doesn't have to deal with the opposition's cornerbacks, as the receivers clear them out for him. He is most effective in his role, and really doesn't have to be Deebo, and is in fact more dangerous than Deebo in an offense that plays to CMC's strengths and versatility.

This is so elementary, but it's above our coaches' heads. I just can't fathom why they won't do the obvious things...

The most telling take from this is that Matt Rhule is the common link.

Oh, wow! Faker Mayfield fans are rejoining.

I got so much Panthers paraphernalia that I had to go out and get a few new jackets and hats, so that people who don't know me can't identify me with any of this sh¡t that's going on. Yes, this is the first time that I've been embarrassed to be a Panthers fan.

We might not ever see anything now. Corral wouldn't be the first QB screwed before he even gets started. It was a lost opportunity. Perhaps he can come back from it, but maybe not. Like you said, we'll see.

If we had another coach and Gardner Minshew, we'd be undefeated.

I'd rather keep the draft pick.

Yes, you did.I was slightly grazed by the Mayfield mania in the end, but you were 100 percent unfazed! Who knew that Mayfield would suck more than Darnold? Jon Snow, that's who.

The line got run over and he was injured by the push. Everyone saw it; he didn't have a chance. I played organized football as a minor, and have watched plenty of football as well, so...

It's height and athleticism. Of course I was told by some here before camp that Mayfield was athletic... I would say that Mayfield is athletically challenged or athletically mediocre on his best day

Smart (Byrd) man!

This was the easy part of our schedule, so...

Corral was getting 3-5 reps in camp. Like Rhule said, he was getting those oh so important mental reps. For you or anyone to think anything definitive from that is sad. You surely didn't take anything definitive from four years of Mayfield playing with the first team and getting basically all the reps, except that he was some near elite, top 10 QB who deserved to be handed the starting job because he led a stacked team to a playoff victory one time. So excuse me if I can't seem to take your take and others' here about Corral's fait acompli of a disaster during preseason due to Rhule's utter mishandling of Corral and the coach's ineptitude about QB development seriously.

Mayfield sucks, Henderson doesn't.

What didn't make sense is how Corral was treated like some red-headed stepchild in that whole equation. And some Huddlers cosigned the bullshit in their zest to idolize Baker Mayfield. It was a missed fuging opportunity, and just another reason to fire Rhule.
