Carr could be the next Stafford, meaning he could be the final piece needed on a team that is ready for a deep playoff push. ...and that is not us. Too many flaws that need correcting.

Lions and Seahawks were both near the bottom on rush defense so those performances were outliers. Hate keep going back to the Steelers game but that was the game that told me the Uglies were not as good as people thought they were.

Not too many names off the top of my head that could qualify for comeback player of the year so wouldn't surprise me if CMC won it. Still far too early to determine the trade. I've always seen it as a decision made for the long term, meaning that it's contingent on who we end up drafting with the additional picks and whether CMC stays healthy over the next few years.

No doubt the O-line as a unit improved this year. Yet I still have my concerns, especially with pass protection. At times, it looked okay but seemed it broke down more than it should've considered how run heavy we ended up going. Ickey, specifically, made costly errors at key moments which I'm hoping can be chalked up to inexperience. Also concerned about Moton's durability and so I would aim to find an eventual successor now. I'm in the mindset of always drafting an Ugly or two every year because while finding a franchise QB is important, so is protecting them.

Brissett might be the only real "upgrade" over what we have now and I believe he's going to be asking for starter money. But if we can keep Darnold for around $5 mil a year, that I can digest as long as we have some new rookie QBs we can put in when the time's right.

We were the greater of two awful teams... but the other teams are the Saints. They get no gumbo.

For me, the way we lost today should be fatal to Wilks' chances to be a HC. Understandably, we were quite thin with corners but allowing an offense that has looked incompetent the entire year to go off like that when your speciality is defense is malpractice. Same if you're supposed to be an offensive guru and you struggle to score more than 10 points. If the team struggles in your speciality, that's a red flag.

The real question is who could viably be the 2023 starter if it's not Sam Darnold. We may not want him but we may have to keep him around in case something like starting Corral or the next rookie doesn't work out.

MIchigan choke job complete.

I'm assuming college rules are different because I though the receiver wouldn't be considered down until touched and they weren't before rolling into the end zone.

The Rhule vs Hackett game to decide the worst coach in the NFL this season never happened but I'll give the "victory" to Rhule because he lasted longer, I suppose.

I'll let a former coach of ours speak for me...

He can stay until he gets the yips again. And he will but that seems to be the trend nowadays in that position. Only way to fix it is going somewhere else.

If only our team wouldn’t trip over themselves every time we're in this scenario.

The Cowboys just lost on a pick 6. This Sunday was not a complete waste after all.

Wilks fits the Panthers mold of being just good enough to raise our hopes only to crush them when there are actual expectations. Basically back to where we had been.

Sick and tired of losing the Steelers every single damn time.

Matt Ryan, loser in infamy...

My god, if the Colts lose this game, Matt Ryan is going to have both 28-3 AND being the loser on the biggest NFL comeback in history.

The more important aspect between Saints vs Falcons is Desmond Ridder's performance. Anything giving the Falcons hope about success at QB, even in the short term, does not bode well for us.

Also a more favorable schedule. Dolphins seemed like a quality win but Tua's recent downturn gives me pause. Not really a quality opponent until the playoffs either. May not get clearer answers until then.

The draft capital needed for the best QBs this draft will be too high and frankly, they just don't excite me. Corral is such a huge unknown, especially he had a significant injury. Too risky to put all our chips on him. Darnold isn't starter material but the available free agent QBs are full of prior Panthers QB rejects or a questionable upgrade. Brissett might be the best bridge QB but he'll probably ask for too much. So yeah, options don't look good. A lot depends on the direction we go on offense for next season. I'd say draft someone later in the draft that is a system fit and either keep Darnold as a bridge or swap him out for someone that doesn't break the bank. Then add more pieces elsewhere.

Someone has to win this awful division and you never know what can happen in the playoffs. Broncos won basically without a QB so why not do it ourselves?

Didn't dawn on me until just now that all the cat teams won this weekend.

Watching our Uglies create lanes for our backs and demoralizing all the Seahawks fans around me again and again was quite satisfying, especially on that final TD drive. I'll need to watch the TV broadcast but seemed like it was not the best of days for pass protection. Started okay but felt like Sam was being pressured more often than he should've been given the limited pass attempts.
