Yeah, I am not down on Pickett, I just think he has a ceiling that will keep him from ever being elite. But, I also wasn't a big fan of Burrow so maybe he will be better than expected. Burrow had baby hands concerns too.

90% of teams are not fooled by that. You judge a player by his tape, not his stats. If you are putting up video game stats and making pro throws and reads, that is a lot different than lobbing ducks to wide open WR's in a gimmick, one read offense.

Look at Bailey Zappe's stats. Seriously, plenty of dumpster fire NFL QB's had video game stats in college. College fans need to stop equating college success with NFL success. It is not a 1:1 comparison. Similarly, Josh Allen had stats in college that would indicate he shouldn't be a success in the NFL.

This is kind of funny given the Herbert take. But, Pickett is not nearly the otherworldly talent that Herbert was.

That is sort of the classic situation. The dumb fugs that try and jam people up with these false accusations and make it harder for the 80+% of victims that get drug because of poo like that. IMO(not a hot take, have always felt this way), people that lob those false accusations are just as guilty as those that prey on others. Their shenanigans allow predators and victim blaming to have platform to defend themselves.

Hurney Magic

1. He was not a good QB in the first place. 2. He has not played a snap in five years. 3. He mocked Cam, fug him.

Have you ever actually watched a game in the past two years? Have you ever actually watched a Panthers game at all?

Yeah, which was.....better. Here is a fact, Rivera's all time coaching record: 0.523(0.546 in CAR) Matt Rhule: 0.303 Wow. That Rhule guy is good. You are right. He is so good he has had the worst two year start for a coach in franchise history(by a substantial margin). Superb Owl!

Matt, log off.

Or....maybe use actual professionals and not randoms from Instagram. Plenty of discreet hookers willing to engage in whatever fetish you have.

No and Yes. The No depends on the price of admission. If we trade 2-3 first round picks or some other kind of haul, it will cripple our ability to actually improve the roster for the bulk of his career here. He will take up so much money that free agency will be difficult to fix all of our many problems. The Yes is absolute. However, my rooting for him will be dependent on what the full story is with his allegations. And that is going to be dependent on if we ever actually know that. If we don't, I guess I will just get past it because I don't know. If he did do all of it(or worse), I can't see myself supporting him. If he didn't do it and it was all(or mostly) BS, no harm no foul. I'll get that jersey ordered.

Yeah, it's way better than the Darnold trade.

I like Donte too but not at the price he is likely to command.

Then put that tape on side by side with Willis versus any P5 team. I like Willis a lot. IMO, he is probably the guy I would personally take in this draft. For SURE not in the first round, though.

Have you actually looked at their career winning percentage?

Pretty sure we have never won a scrimmage against other NFL teams or probably even against ourselves.

Name one Matt Rhule season with more than 5 wins. I'll wait.

No

At least there appears to be some logic and not panic to what we are supposedly doing.

I was one of the few very down on the 2021 draft. I liked the 2020 draft but the 2021 draft was just so bad. We intentionally avoided starter after starter and largely took luxury or depth guys. It was maddening to watch. I hope I am wrong but I have a big fear that will be one of those drafts that will get looked back on as a big reason why a lengthy struggle ensued.

Agreed but you can't use that as the basis for Carroll being "overrated." I mean, they were the second most successful team in the NFL during his era as head coach. 8 of 12 seasons at 10+ victories, only 3 seasons with a losing record(never less than 7 wins). I am not making an argument for him being an all time great but you don't accidentally win all those games in the NFL. This isn't college football.

I love his work ethic. I think he has the mindset to be great in the NFL. But it has yet to be realized so it's just potential at this point. And the other elite CB from that draft.....played that way. So does it move the needle? TBD.

Wilson was a big part of the length of success but don't forget their SB berths were largely on the backs of having arguably the most talented roster in the NFL. Defensively amazing, maybe the best RB in the NFL.....I like Wilson but he wasn't the sole reason for their success.
