As the title says, if any other quarterback had Young's stat line after 7 games, and played the way he did against the Colts today, would he still be starting the next game?

It seemed obvious to me. But I'm an idiot who knows nothing about football, so I thought my eyes must be deceiving me. The "experts" said it was close, or it's Bryce. But to me, I felt like I was in an Asch group conformity experiment. It just never even seemed close to me. Stroud's tape was so transparently, obviously and overwhelmingly better than Young's, that I just don't see how anyone on a professional level thought he was the better choice.

I'm just lol-ing at the monkey paw curse that this fan base put on itself. All I heard the last few off-seasons when I was arguing to keep Darnold or even Baker, was people were tired of the re-tread QBs because everyone was tired of 7 and 8 win seasons. Well you got your wishes bitches! We're YEARS away from sniffing 8 wins again.

Honestly, fire Reich. I don't blame him, I know who the culprit is behind this dumpster fire. I want Reich off the payroll so he can start publicly airing Tepper's dirty laundry.

That's the thing. I can't even be upset. I was just cackling in the bar when Bryce threw Pick 6 #2. When you're not even mad, you're past denial, bargaining, acceptance, you've reached a stage of grieving I didn't even know was possible.

We could have had Stroud.

I disagree. Stroud has the fire. Everyone was saying the Falcons won. Stroud pulled out that W by sheer will. I don't see any fire, any urgency from Bryce.

We could have had Stroud

I really enjoy the QB School, and I'm always glad when he uploads a new Bryce video. I think he's even handed, and he actually probably more than any other person has talked me down from the "Bryce is a Bust" ledge. Because he does a very good job illustrating and articulating how impossible Bryce's situation is on every play. As someone who never played the sport at any level, it's verging on too technical for me, but he's a nice middle ground between the very superficial annotated highlight videos, and the really detailed analysis that I just frankly can't keep up with. As for the Thielen bashing, he's fair, and frankly Ickey got dogged on lot worse than Adam did in that video.

I didn't see 1 second of this game. Please tell me this isn't the monkey paw type deal I need to agree to in order for us to win.

I didn't watch. That's why we won. You're welcome

Our CB #1 is made of glass that's been soaking in dry ice. I kindly agree that Donte is at an extremely valuable intersection of performance and affordability for a rebuilding team. We can neither afford to get worse, nor more expensive in the secondary.

Decline or not, Adams is a certifiable #1. And could be for 2 to 3 more years. I have absolutely no objection for giving Bryce a genuine receiving threat. Then we can try to find or develop a new WR 1. But this whole, "Bryce has no weapons, and he's not producing, oh well, lol," plan doesn't seem sustainable.

Just goes to show how truly rare someone like Cam was. Someone who could play the way he did for as long as he did. I don't know that we'll ever see his like again. ...and we got no trophies to show for his time here.

Patently untrue

Let's win one. Then we can talk about winning out.

Wilkes is definitely the best coach we've had under Tepper's watch. But it was the right move to move on from Wilkes. He's not a regime builder. Wilkes did not have the roots in the league to pull in talented coordinators, assistants and position coaches. For the entirety of his tenure as HC, he would have been able to attract McAdoo level talent at best. We wouldn't have Evero. We wouldn't have Brown. And considering both of them are quality HC candidates for us, we owe Reich for bringing them into our organization. But if Wilkes was head coach material, he'd be a head coach now.

No one wants to read a fluff piece when the team is winless. I don't know if the account was useless, but I like sending the message to the Panthers organization that they can't spoon feed us re-heated bullshit.

The refs should be rightly ashamed for actually flagging that flop. He literally dropped to his knee, like "Dude, you okay?" Weak.

I think it's why we're doing well. Chuba, Franklin, Tremble, Mays. It's addition by subtraction

Please continue to prove me wrong. I'll eat an entire damn crow raw if this is for real. Beak feet and all

What the fug is going on?

As much as I hate to give up more draft capital... I really wouldn't hate that deal. Make it our 2026 2nd and I like it.
