Oh jeebus, PR show in full effect. He isn't a nice and mild as he seems....you might not believe it but....wait for it.....he got some dawg in him lol.

Those average arms are attached to NFL bodies though. Bryce has an average arm attached to an extremely below average body. I mean, Bryce is technically the far end of that representation. Burrow's 6'4.

I'll give him one mulligan. Same basic outlook as last year, Bryce Young better really show some glimpses of being special and worth the pick in the 2nd half next year. If he isn't giving you some "well, that's why you drafted him there moments"......we need to move on. That would be 2 full seasons with zero moments.

my issue going into last year wasn't so much pure incompetency....but bad marriages that were always doomed from the start. Which brought out the worst outcomes or "incompetency". We weren't putting people together that meshed/fit. Coaches and players. It was a forced vision. Still feels forced. I just hope if Bryce doesn't fit after an honest try they move on. And do it late down the stretch and it not be some big offseason decision.

yeah, there was clearly some smoke there form the jump........wish we knew the inner workings. I mean, it was what week 3 and Frank was channeling Matt Rhule.....claiming the reason Dalton went in for Bryce on 4th and 1.....was old man Andy Dalton presents a unique threat that would leave a defense on it's heels......WUT!?!

I mean, I'm not an it's all Bryce's fault guy. I was one of the view voices that didn't think we were setting him up for success when folks were talking playoffs/dream staff/best roster since 2003 type junk. I frankly still don't think we are. I haven't really changed there either. I don't think Canales' O he ran in Tampa fits. And still think to set him up for success you need a Bryce Young specific O with playmakers at slot, rec RB and TE. Not average joes. You got to either embrace the small ball he fits or don't. We haven't. I still think we are a marriage of parts that don't really fix. Really by design. Think we are just continuing that. Hard to imagine Canales actual being all in on the QB that the last HC/GM were fired over. I just think it's tough to overlook what an anomaly Bryce Young is. I do think Parcells was right, if you are going to draft that....he better walk on water. Then to top off his limitations with his more risk adverse nature? I just think his ceiling is forever low.

yep. Special QBs show you the glimpses and moments even in bad spots. I think there is no escaping Bryce's physical size issue paired with his natural tendency/instincts. It takes too much off the table. Ceiling will forever be low because of it and he is in a world dominated by athletic/physical freaks.

Think he wanted to be here back when we had him. Older player, close to home and family. Easier life.

I got no issue renting him for a year. We got no talent. He is talent. I don’t view it much more than that.

Mike Tomlin puts up with plenty of stuff. but Mike Tomlin's track record of getting rid of WRs.....is bad news for us. Wallace, Brown, Holmes, Juju, Chase... Tomlin has almost an uncanny timing to date with that.

yeah, them and the social media team has had a tough task of late. I mean, almost a lose/lose with a lot of the content they put out given how horrific their subject has been.

some lists get real murky after the top couple guys are named.... I think Jones and Williams are 1 and 2. Then you got like 6 or 8 guys you could all start arguing for. But there is a solid clump of guys that all would have good arguments for those 3 final spots IMO.

I can't speak for the UNC fans, but generally I'd rather play a team in the tourney that didn't know me that well. That cuts all sorts of ways I guess. Certainly, advantages to knowing someone too. Clemson will be an underdog for the 3rd straight game for a reason. AZ should win simply because Clemson is the much more inconsistent team. But if Clemson is playing well, they have been a problem for a lot of folks when they get it together this year.

watch AZ not even get past Clemson. OP will have brought that bad juju on himself and his team. this thread has some ACC school bumping it written all over it.

a surplus of dog inside

Tepper does have his ear to the streets on what folks think of him/Carolina.....and was smart enough to walk away fast after he said his 2 cents lol

aren't they the ones with that viral super clip of all the TV stations reading off the same script that was synced up?

One of us!

I don't have a problem with a company, Apple in this case, making essentially an Apple-friendly world for their products. The Apple Watch works better with the iPhone. I think that example is one specifically cited in the lawsuit. But the recent android stuff is no different I don't believe with the pairing of products resulting in better/different experiences. The apple eco system works great and is easy. Yeah, you are more limited in terms of applications and things with Apple.....and you can choose not to use them because of that.... most of the world chooses not to use them. I do think the DOJ is going after Apple because of it's size though. And also, probably a lot of money being used to pressure folks into going after Apple. Apple nickel and dimes everyone that wants access to those living in Apple world.

and yet the US Gov is suing Apple for a monopoly I mean, they would like to have one. But they don't.

it's all a trade-off for the worse IMO. I think as a whole, facts and reality are getting more and more murky as time go by. The tech heavy world is getting us further away from reality. and it's still greed-driven. The greed is just shifting to new hands. The online world has an incentive to misinform. It drives clicks online.

I personally was looking forward to the Clemson/U of SC battles between Mike Williams and Jaycee Horn. They probably would have to live stream their Madden game vs each other because we would have never seen it play out on a field in camp.

ESPN has the college football playoff contract until 2031.

I agree social media destroyed the need....but I can't co sign we are better off going down the social media road. Think that's proving to be a path to a worse outcome for just about all avenues.
