Him getting passed over though was a blessing. He would have no doubt about it busted if he were put in the fire from the get go.

His dad played for both the Saints and Falcons. I just don't think he's as good as some of us want him to be. But, to be fair, that seems to be how we are with other players too, so it's not just him. Wait until we pay our LT that struggles in pass protection, and our QB that struggles in breaking triple digits in yards.

I'm not really into conspiracy theories. It may be more along the lines that we overvalue him and inflate his ability because of the logo, instead of some sort of nefarious character flaw.

I don't really believe in stepping stones from season to season. Not on a team level. Every season is its own unique thing. We are currently at 8 wins and there is a decent chance we will stay at 8 wins. There is a decent chance we will get to 9 wins instead. We have gotten fortunate in a couple of games, and we have taken advantage of situations in some games. Nothing wrong with that, and that's how the ball bounces sometimes. We can equally thank the Bucs for being a complete dumpster fire in the 2nd half of the season for how we are still in contention past Thanksgiving.

I think what a lot of people might be saying is that just because we may win the division and finish with a winning record, this team has not arrived and still has many flaws and holes to fill. Not that 9 wins, a division championship, and a playoff appearance are to be scoffed at as insignificant.

Probably stuck with Canales, especially if they make the playoffs. "What kind of stupid team fires a coach that made the playoffs?" Well, the Titans and Chargers I think. There is no real excuse/reasoning for Young. After 3 seasons, he is what he appears to be.

Knocking Dallas or Atlanta out is a bit more satisfying, but yeah, I'm with you on that.

Why is it a black and white thing? Of course I would want them to win. I am absolutely not going to be carried away with with grief and despair if they lose. I'm an adult, there is so much more going on in life that doesn't hinge on the outcome of a mostly-shitty football team. My darkhorse team is still alive. My team B is very much in the mix. The Panthers have been better than expected. It's been a good season. I expect them to lose at this point.

"We need to win the division to set the blocks for next year" What does this even mean? Set the blocks? For next year? What? "We have an up and coming coach who needs a mentor in his corner a STUD for a GM who is COOKING a wrecking ball for a DT a stud for a corner a young buck for a DE who is just a rook a true #1 WR a solid OL a QB who is progressing" This all sounds like AI slop. You do you.

Don't forget, we traded up for that too!

It's weird watching the Bears play. It's just that inescapable feeling of how the shittiness and ineptitude of the Panthers basically built them. Handed them a wr, picks, and the #1 overall pick. We were so committed to constructing the Bears, we even sent them their head coach inadvertently since we were so awful he declined an interview the previous year.

We only average 18.6 ppg. We might be able to come close to that running wildcat exclusively.

We are ahead of schedule as we stand at the brink of entering year 8 of the grand rebuild and sitting out the post-season, again.

The narrative is that Young is not being given the support that he needs to develop properly. So, he clearly needs a top 5 defense, the most expensive oline money can buy, pro bowl running back, all pro wrs, and a hof te. Additionally, coach needs to be a COY candidate. If these simple needs cannot be satisfied, then Young will just not reach his potential, and that is 100% the fault of the team.

The flaw in this, is that this is not an isolated incident. This isn't the only game where it has looked like this, and he has performed like this. So yes, we were facing a top tier defense. I guess we were facing the best defense in the league with every loss though.

I know it's putting the horse before the cart, but just for fun.. We will host the Rams who will come in with revenge on the mind and beat this team from pillar to post.

It is ideal to think we could recoup some of the capital that was spent on drafting him, but it might just not be realistic. I would expect something similar to what the Jets worked out when moving on from Zach Wilson, maybe a little better, but not much at all. It is probably irrelevant though, as I don't think we go down that path at all.

bUt BrYcE dOeSn'T hAvE aNy WeApOnS If we do make manage to make the playoffs, we will also win a first place schedule next year! As of now, NFC West team will be Seattle. AFC West team will be Denver. NFC East team will be Philly. Our rotation next season is both North divisions.

Not going to win games in December with this box score.

Nah. NFL will just shrug and point to how it was hard-fought battle. They've had other losing record winners. The sun still rises.

I don't think you have to worry about a 5th year option, not when he is eligible for an extension after this season. Not an NFL qb. Doesn't matter though. It will be what it will be.

Never say never

He could be there to cheer on Seattle. Hard to tell sometimes with him. I saw him years ago shopping on 1 of the grocery aisles at Walmart on Sardis Rd, back when he was still on the team. He seemed nice, which made his turn maybe a bit out of character.

I have no idea. I seriously thought he would be gone after asking XL about his deceased father being a Cowboys fan.
