Do we really need Watson to back up Aaron Rodgers? I mean, we are totally getting Rodgers right?

Congrats! The miracle of life. Exciting and great times are ahead! The baby stage goes by super quick. So while you up late at night with a crying baby....don't wish that time away. I miss those days in reality.

If you look at the last 10 RBs that lead the NFL in touches…..they overwhelming have struggled the following year. Zeke and McCoy pulled it off. That’s about it. Bell an asterisk I guess since he sat out. Sure looks like a trend though. We got to dial back on CMCs workload IMO.

I think the correct answers to #4 and #5 are going to be at odds with each other. To keep CMC healthy, he doesn't need to be on his pace of touches per game. He lead the league in 2019 in touches per game. And even in his rarely seen appearances last year, he maintained the same pace of touches that lead the NFL the year prior. So Rhule's workload when he had him matched Ron's. But to build Sam's confidence...you likely will need it to be a CMC heavy offense as both runner and catcher. Our OL is still pretty weak and Chubba IMO has growth in pass protection before he can really spell CMC.

Worst case scenario IMO would be Wilson leading a game winning drive by throwing over the top on Horn.

Rhule is going to be in the crosshairs for any loss. Sam basically just has to not be the reason we lose and look better than Wilson.

if Zach Wilson looks better than Sam Darnold week one.....Sam and Rhule will deserve the heat they get.

Well, we know Rhule will be in the blame department to some extent. If his team loses to the Jets week 1. No no way out of that for Rhule.

But the week 1 matchup matters too IMO. Because of what the Jets are. Because Zach Wilson will also being learning a new scheme, with new coaches, new players, and less talent......and he won't have 3 years starting experience in the NFL under his belt like Sam. So Sam has to look better than Zach Wilson IMO week 1. And if we lose.....it will say something about Rhule and Darnold.

yeah, I think the next Spiderman movie will feel a lot like that cartoon Into the Spiderverse movie that came out a couple year ago. Which was pretty solid for a cartoon. I'm really hoping they rip off that movie and instead of having the old Spidermen playing their exact same characters they did in their movies. Like having Toby whatever his name is play an old and washed up Spiderman or something like Into the Spiderverse had. And also bringing Miles Morales hopefully.

a week before week 1 we are going to here Rhule talk about Joey Slye being naturally left handed. I mean when you got 5 possible LTs….you got none.

Well, with the movies and season 2…..I don’t think closure or telling a full story is what they were going for. I like Sylvie. Glad they didn’t wrap up her story yet. I mean they opened the door to the multiverse, set up Kang the Conqueror, Enchantress all to arrive in the MCU…. Not bad for a 6 TV episode series found on TV IMO. I think it added more to the actual upcoming story than Black Widow, an actual movie.

$660,000 would $1.075 M for a 7th year player in 2021. reading the full quote, his main grip was having to eat a quick lunch and not getting to have a lot of fun during work hours because of the nonsense business approach (which he also deemed impressive). Which sounds a lot like.....a normal job. But he is comparing it to other NFL jobs. I don't think a lot of orgs run a tight ship the entire time everyone is "on the clock".

I'm calling it now if it happens.... Debut of the first Fire Rhule thread.

epsiode 6 ended better than I thought. I think it takes clear ownership of the #1 spot in terms of the TV gigs.

SPOILERS/MY BAD GUESS I think Lady Loki is the MCU's unique version of Enchantress. I am not buying the romance though. and I think she will betray our Loki once they get to the castle and reach some sort final decision moment after they meet old man/classic Loki at the end. Our Loki has been enchanted ever since that scene he claimed it wouldn't work...and then started to "fall" for her. She needed help to get to the end. And they make sure you are pondering the betrayal angle potentially coming from Loki....instead of Sylvie as we enter the finale episode. Our Loki in the end loses. That's what Loki's do. A steady theme they have repeated. He gets betrayed. He takes an L. But the other theme is Loki's survive. So he will find a different way out of there than the route Sylvie takes. His route out will keep him in play with our MCU. I think the TV shows largely are just bonus material and fleshing out characters that don't get it in the movies. They will give us additional insight and some bonus knowledge when the movies hit the multiverse/variants and other plots.....but Marvel isn't going to want the TV shows to be required info for the actual story. I do think who they meet at the end will hint at a lot of what is coming....but we don't get the real payoff.

I'll be honest. I'll gladly take Oher caliber LT play for 17 games in 2021 if we can get it.

overall, their handling of the QB position. QB position will account for about 22 mill in cap space this year.

DaQuan Jones IMO will be the best FA add. And he will be surprising because all Panther fans largely talk about on the DL is Burns, Brown, etc and the young guns.

Darnold and Horn <decent size gap> everyone else

if just looking at 2021 in a vacuum? Robbie Anderson is a 12M cap hit. Robbie Anderson's cap hit is > Moore, Darnold, Thomas, Moore, Marshall, Zyastra combined. Greater cap hit than basically every WR and TE on the roster added together.

Well, I mean Trevor and Urban are both in Jacksonville because the Jags have sucked. So yeah, they aren’t making the playoffs this year because of a talent issue. And I think Urban will suck as a NFL HC. just seems situational is all. Rookie HC and Trevor landed both on a roster like Tampa? I wouldn’t care if it never happened before. I’d give them decent odds.

I haven't read nor care to read your entire back and forth with frank. and yes, I shared my opinion that I think posters have a legit argument when saying they wish the team would invest more in the OL.

great point. and if you are Moton's people....you gotta be playing that hard. You can't pay my guy RT money when we both know you are going to want to play him at LT.
