He was awful, but at the same time based on what ive seen and his mentality, he looks like he's gonna learn from this. Seems like he's also trying a lot of stuff while we don't really have the roster to compete for playoffs.

we've been the raiders all season. in fact the raiders were us.

Charles Harris jogging. This guy has not impressed in any way, shape, or form. Dude is coasting.

don't watch this game if you want to see any good tackling.. by either team

I mean we're not a good team but at least the offense is watchable. Looking forward to seeing some of the young guys get coached up throughout the season. This team is not a 1 season fix. But at least we're looking more competitive than week 1.

crazy what happens when you have a pass rush

Burrow out here playing madden on the easiest difficulty tricking the AI to go in circles.

Kinda expected this tbh. Our d is not very good. No pass rush. No safeties. Our Cornerbacks are our best unit and they can't cover for the amount of time our pass rush gives any decent team. Our O gotta play aggressive because our D can't do jack.

LETS. GO!

Good low risk rep for XL for 2pt.

Some part of me thinks Canales stayed up all night collecting definitive evidence to show Dipper everything that needed to be known about benching Bryce and proving it's a Bryce problem and not a scheme or personnel problem.

Some of y'all have an image of Justin Fields that I just don't see I guess. He hasn't really done anything extraordinary other than be a QB we didn't draft. If he were putting up CJ Stroud level of numbers and leading the Bears to the playoffs then I'd get it.. But he's been on an equally abysmal team who has drafted just as poorly. Just don't see how he could elevate us when he couldn't elevate the Bears.

From the looks of it, both of our coordinators will be gone in 2 years with how hot they are on the rise. It will be a true testament to see if Frank Reich can prove himself to be Belichick and Andy Reid vs Ron Rivera in that regard.

browns realizing they just gotta use their RBs. Something McAdoodoo can't figure out

first half about to end and we've ran the ball 4 times

anyone at the game, can yall start a "Run the Ball" chant

At least we paid a good punter

baker is 6. apparently worked it out with hekker

The idea is that measurables can make up for bad technique since snap to snap you can have inconsistency with technique due to a variety of moves a defense can make. If that extra 1-2 inches can keep a defender off your qb when in an unfavorable position, all the better. It's like QBs that can launch it despite having guys draped over them.

Something Rhule said during the press conf today was that he wants supreme athletes who can put it on tape. Fitt also said their criteria for trading down was if the value didn't match the player that was at the top of their board at the time (or something to that extent). They weren't afraid to miss out on a player if they felt the value of trading down got them a net positive. That said, if you look at our draft history for the past 20 years.. It's pretty obvious which drafts got people fired. https://www.panthers.com/history/draft There's a few drafts in there that look straight embarrassing in retrospect. From 2011, only Cam made it past year 2. 2011 draft screwed us hard in 2014 where normally a lot of those players would be on a contract year. We stumbled but luckily other teams in our division stumbled worse. We lucked out. What this says is if you're picking players that are not even good for depth, then you're not going to run a successful team in the long term. A once in a generation player can pull your team higher but not as high if the base talent level of the team isn't that great. Rhule wants guys who already have powerful self-motivation and drive to be better and great. All these guys have something to prove and have a chip on their shoulder and want to beast on people. These aren't quiet guys who fade away like many of those draft picks of the past that disappear after 3 years. (We Hope) All in all, so far I think we're getting players to set the tone for the team. We may not be addressing needs aggressively or protecting the Darnold at all costs.. but we're getting guys who will buy in because they want to succeed too. Whether or not that actually works out is yet to be seen. We won't know until their Rookie contracts are up or they get cut in year 2.

dw bout it

huddle gonna meltdown no matter who the pick. better get my popcorn ready

P good interview from long before the draft with Patrick Peterson and Bryant McFadden talking to this kid. Gives an insight on what makes this guy tick and why both these proven corners already saw him going top10. Jaycee also has his own youtube channel with his prep going into proday and pre-draft stuff if yall are interested. We won't know how good he actually is until we play him but it's exciting and better than being glum i guess.

At least they have more sacks than points
