Classic Gettleman. Always pining to be the smartest guy in the room.

You know, I have often wondered what the long term consequences of smoking crack would be. Glad to see the results.

I am not sure using one of the biggest QB busts since Josh Rosen is quite the measuring stick I would use for "success." Also, Nix did not have a lot of the physical abilities you look for. He does have at very, very, very best an NFL average arm. TBH, minus the running ability, he is basically what Bryce's rookie year was SUPPOSED to look like. Not too shabby, sees the field pretty well and makes above average decisions with passing the ball. Not a strong arm but adequate.

Honestly, we are gonna need to pass in this game. This is the 3rd ranked rushing defense but the 16th ranked passing defense. So our strength is going against their strength.

Considering the defense we are playing that would be one of the best rookie debuts for a RB in franchise history, so I quite highly doubt that. It would be great to see, though. If he is doing that by Game 17, that's just fine. That's successful.

I still don't necessarily buy into Nix, although he has improved substantially against low end competition. His only two above average passing performances have been against us and the Falcons. Those are also the only two 250+ yard passing performances he has had all season. I am not sure this is an example of a guy that I would be calling a success just yet. Maybe. Also, maybe not.

INB4 2025 and "We HaVe To StOp WiNnInG!!! wE nEeD tHa NuMbEr OnE pIcK tO gEt OuR qB!!!" Meanwhile.....

In theory, that has ready happened. That guy has more lives with this organization than a bushel of cats, however. I want to believe we finally move on. I really want to believe.

I don't think that will happen immediately. Canales seems to like Sanders for some reason.

If Brooks gets injured then it just is what it is. It wouldn't make the top 20 disasters of the season. Also, he's a RB. They do get injured at higher rates than most positions.

Or we could just play the season out trying to do the best you can(same as most of those teams) and then let the FO worry about the fuging draft. You know....like all NFL teams do. Did you see the Browns stadium last night? The riots that happened when they beat the Steelers because everyone wanted to tank so badly? Oh....that didn't happen at all. Imagine that!

Lol. Same thing we have always been during the Tepper era. Game one against a very good defense, how about just look better than Miles Sanders? Let's start there.

If we had the power to speak things into existence then our streak of Super Bowl wins would still be going and Cam would be the GOAT.

I mean, I don't think he was wishing injury on him. Just saying it would be a very Panthers thing for that to happen. I could see it. Sometimes you just look at that black cat and wonder when things happen to us.

We will see what happens. This is likely his last contract, so he might want to get paid. If someone is willing to overpay($25 mil is that) then you just let him walk. We don't have enough cap space to be throwing out mega backup contracts to people that aren't Ian Thomas.

I suspect BC will be in the $4-7 mil a year AAV.

It makes more sense for us to extend him 1-2 more years with a reasonable cap hit. It's a win-win.

I mean....I tried to tell ya'll.....

That's it. fuging back to back and fuging Martin.

Well he technically didn't trip.

JFC.

If I see Martin handle the puck one more fuging time this game.

Martin, you absolute retard.

Eh....I would largely temper the expectations for 2024. Hopefully at some point he shows flashes but he is coming off an extended layoff and a serious injury. It takes time to usually trust the knee for most guys. Be patient. I say this as a guy that remains flabbergasted by the pick. Let's not get crazy this season if he doesn't look amazing. Now 2025 however......

He is a FA after 2025. The 2026 year is just a void year. He isn't on the roster, it's a cap trick.
