I don' think you have to be a line crosser. Cam brought it. Luke did. Thomas Davis did. They were not pleasant people on the football field. And they probably weren't pleasant to teammates who opted to phone it on.

I think Luvu is a really good player. I don't consider Luvu an attitude/not nice dude between the lines. Ron had some dudes. That's the last time we had players that had a real edge to them IMO. Brown got some in him but I just don't see it elsewhere. You need a mix. Our recipe has been missing those types.

I have said it for a long time but we have become a franchise of nice guys and check cashers. I do think Morgan gets that. I mean, name one person on the offense with attitude? Zero. How many on the defense have it? Derrick Brown. A little. That's 1 person on the entire team.

it's not hard at this level. I mean, look at the huge gains CMC made after his rookie year. He was a different runner year 2. He went down easy as a rookie.

well, I think Frank and McCown likely understood. Hence the rumored split in house over who they should take at QB. I think Bryce Young was GM /owner driven. but I mean, his size is just an issue I think. You could teach Bryce proper footwork and mechanics for an ideal ball coming out.....and where he would be in the pocket would likely cause some issues for him.

I want David Tepper at the presser and available for Qs. It won't happen. He isn't dumb in some aspects of things. But he still has a lot to answer for IMO. Which he knows.

I don't' think footwork is viewed the same today as it was long ago. Well, not how it has been talked about by fans for decades. I mean, do the best QBs in the game today have good traditional footwork? I would say they don't. So I'm not sure we missed something. Issue for Bryce is he doesn't have the physical gifts that do and he needs ideal footwork and mechanics to have a chance to get the ball where it needs to get. That what I don't' think the Panthers understood....that his size and arm are an issue. And it's a hard ask to expect him to be so elite that that can easily just deal with his physical shortcomings at this level.

Miles Sanders is an early down runner. That's the problem. We added a different version of Hubbard. I mean, Hubbard at least has improved as a passing down RB some but neither of them are natural passing down RBs. Sanders has always been really bad in that role....which people didn't' want to hear when we overpaid him. Which is just something you can easily add to a roster. Not trying to force guys a half decade into their NFL careers to be good at it.

Tepper hate aside. FC tickets are cheap and good (relatively speaking vs football). I've enjoyed the few I have attended. No emotional attachment but it's a nice thing to randomly go do IMO.

that Miles Sanders deal IMO screws the backfield for 2024. I still think we have a big hole in our backfield given Bryce Young is the QB. We lack a true passing down RB. Which should be mandatory for a QB like Bryce Young.

Teddy B's stats and production isn't what got him bounced after a year while throwing us down the retread spiral. Teddy had a career year. As did basically everyone on O.....and they didn't even have CMC in a weird year of no real camp/prep. It was his mouth and the fact he was starting to say water is wet when it came to a team that wasn't being lead by a competent HC IMO.

you can find a Hubbard or even a better version of him in rounds 4-6. Teams do it every year.

DJ Moore and Adam Theilen ain’t close. DJ can do things Adam can’t. Theilen is ideally a 3 role player on a good roster offense. That’s not DJ. Theilen should be a 2003 Ricky Prohel. That’s the ideal place for him in the NFL at this point IMO on a good roster. I mean in 2003 if we targeted Ricky Prohel 140 times running a bunch of shallow stuff …..he would have had stats in the end too. AT’s prodiction per catch was more in line with TE production than WR this year. He got no juice to do anything with that ball like most TEs.

he has also been on teams who featured Evans/Godwin and Lockett/Metcalf as the starting WRs. So, his teams have not been short on talent at both starting spots. he walks into a team that doesn't have an actual 1 or 2.

I mean, if your HC is a good playcaller....we have seen that work out very well for folks. Both HCs in the Super Bowl are calling the O.

I've watched every game Shipley has played. To me, if you took CMC in Madden and basically made him slightly worse at everything....you get Shipley. I mean, he would be a great 3rd down type for a team. I still think this team lacks that and you really need to incorporate that type player into a Bryce Young O. Rounds 4-6? I most definitely would take Shipley. You can get solid RBs in those rounds. Other positions are more of a crap shoot IMO that late. Good RBs exist there. I still hate we wasted space w/ Miles Sanders.

this dude wasn't just fired for bad and predictable offense. and his OC isn't a random dude he has no connection to and with.

I'm fine with it. Makes sense. I consider the HC the actual OC in reality though.

we should take all our picks and trade up to the first. Hire Marty Hurney to a 2 hour contract to show up at the draft that night and make a selection.

basically make the dad Hubbard. Bryce is the little boy. Now replace the soccer ball with a football. BOOM. We got ourselves a Tom Brady part 2. *editing in now that the vision is coming more clear!!! Make the dad Sanders. Give him something productive to do. I'm sure we could come up some cool nickname for this too. Like some 80s cartoon where the hero robots combine to make a super animal robot.

or....hear me out...inverse pistol formation. Bryce lines up behind Hubbard. Direct snap to Hubbard. Bryce jumps on Hubbard's back. Hands ball up to Bryce. Bryce then has vision over the lines.

I'm talking hidden high heels bruh you got a better idea for Bryce?

I think the smart play is too just pay the fine for Bryce each week for his odd looking high heel cleats. It will slow him down but the heels should help him see some routes he previously couldn't.

we basically need an entire new offense. Like almost every single position. and Burns is the 3rd best defender on the team.

he might could pull Taylor Swift type # adds
