  1. Well at least something is going right. The Giants as a destination never really made sense anyways as their roster is being rebuilt QB is up in the air and their defense was not a pass rusher away by any means. They were already 27th in total defense last season.
  2. LeBron James does not watch the Carolina Panthers lol let's be real.
  3. Yeah that situation is odd. Didn't his dad lobby on twitter for us to draft Xavier Legette too? XL seems pretty excited to have a different QB throwing him the ball. I'm ready for Sunday!
  4. So it's basically confirmed he's opened the door to a trade via his agent? Really weak all things considered since he did the bare minimum this offseason. He definitely seems to think this is everyone else's fault and the vibe in the locker room being nothing more than a shoulder shrug and "moving along..." speaks volumes.
  5. People have been putting his name in the same conversations as hall of fame QB's for over a year now. Stop the madness. At this point he has to prove he's even a mediocre to average starter let alone very good or elite or in the company of hall of famers.
  6. I really like Sanders potential but man his leadership is abysmal. He is going to have to humble himself or be humbled and if it's the latter and doesn't happen until he gets to the NFL it could get ugly. Arch Manning is a pipedream for the Panthers no matter how you look at it and honestly as far as I'm concerned there is zero love for the Manning's anyways. The whole talk around him reminds me of Suck for Luck. Another pipe dream people should remember well. At the end of the day 9 times out of 10 if you draft a QB in the first or anywhere else they are going to be excited simply to be drafted regardless of the reputation of the destination. I'm seeing a notion that rookie QB's like Stroud are a rarity and that's too early to say. The issue with that is not many people believed in him to be what he is now. Many viewed him as a player that would need to be developed over time slowly. But for teams looking at QB's going forward it would be wise to identify some things about Stroud not just in his physical tools that everyone saw on tape but his approach his mentality and his personality that all came together to form the QB he is today.
  7. Depression is a different subject altogether. I used to fall into that trap from time to time but then I dealt with adversity with my health and that changed my mindset entirely and rewired me so to speak. You both make valid points. There's no one single fix that applies to everyone as an individual and their respective situation. Confidence perspective the way you carry yourself leading by example and allowing yourself to be humbled because we all have or will in the journey of life. No one here knows Bryce Young personally. We only know what he shows us and what he says. To this point I think it would be fair to say he's always seemed like he's following a script of some kind. If he has a shot as a QB in this league which he still could because he is a young guy he's got to wholesale switch up himself and ditch the meek puppy dog act. If you are going to be the smallest one out there amongst elite athletes you need to have a good amount of fire in your belly. If he cannot harness that as a tool in some capacity to try to overcome his lack of physicality then there is no path forward.
  8. It's the Alabama effect. He played under Saban one of the greatest college coaches of all time who went out of his way to speak highly of Bryce Young. So it just has to be literally everyone else that's the problem.
  9. Simply put all the information at our disposal regarding the blame level of the supporting cast is skewed because Bryce has been the QB. Currently our sample size for the last 19 games is Bryce Young 18 Andy Dalton 1 When we see how this offense looks after at least 2-3 games of Dalton behind center we will have an answer regarding the question of supporting cast. I am so ready to get an answer one way or another so we can have confirmation and move forward with a solution however things go from here.
  10. Absolutely there were issues with the interior OL and the receivers last season could have been better but nobody else on the roster or staff threw those two pick sixes against the Colts.
  11. On a personal level I feel for Bryce as an individual. It's a tough situation to be in. At the same time it's confusing to hear him say his approach hasn't changed. Well sir that's the issue. Nothing that has happened to you so far in this league has changed your approach but many other players would take it as a wake up call to shake everything up. And that would have happened early this year after the conclusion of one of the worst seasons for a rookie QB. If none of this is motivating him to alter his approach I do not know that anything will.
  12. AceBoogie we don't agree and that's fine. All this other talk about what you perceive to be "hatred" is just you not being able to handle said difference of opinion.
  13. Apparently Cam recently called out Tyreek Hill for his dumbassery off the field and Hill posted a cryptic response to a circulating rumor (probably made up by some rando on twitter) of Cam possibly signing with the Dolphins. It all sounds yawn inducing.
  14. Appreciate Barnwell for bringing much needed information to people that have no idea what's actually been going on with the situation.
  15. The acquisition of Diontae was always a rental that could possibly turn into a long term situation if he's the right fit. That all remains to be seen. Let's get a look Sunday at how he plays with Dalton and go from there.
  16. That's actually quite nice. It would be even nicer if the product on the field remotely lined up with that level of quality.
  17. The most consequential summer of his life to this point and he's like "meh time to chill". If that's how he wants to live his life hey all the best. That's not your franchise guy though. Never will be.
  18. Brother we've been talking for months about how Tepper pushed for the trade up and for Bryce Young over Stroud idk what you're seeing to the contrary. Accurately describing what Bryce Young looks like as an NFL QB and the fact we need to start Andy Dalton ≠ giving David Tepper a pass for being a meddling dumb ass. It's just acknowledging the reality of the situation we find ourselves in. Anyways as far as what he might or might not do elsewhere I can't say no one can. As of right now beyond the glaring elephant in the room that is his lack of physical tools and size is the issue that he has absolutely not lived up to the billing of being a superprocessor or mini Peyton Manning or mental savant out there on the field. Even Sam Darnold with all his physical tools went to San Francisco and left town a failure. Keep that in mind.
  19. Tepper is an awful owner and needs to stay out of the day to day operation of the team it's basically a unanimous consensus here. Many people want him gone altogether. As far as QBing goes. Both Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield although they have struggled have also at any point in time before they left Carolina looked like they were phsyically capable of being a starting QB. The question of their future was always on the mental side. Bryce has major red flags and questions about both. Different situations.
  20. All in all this is something the Panthers should have been considering months ago. You always operate with the sense you are doing what is best for the team. Having another young QB with legitimate potential on the roster (not a UDFA afterthought like Plummer) after Bryce's struggles last season should have been a priority for someone who talks about wanting dawgs.
  21. ‘He’s pissed,’ a source said. Per Jeremy Fowler @JFowlerESPN
  22. I just took a gander at an article about trade speculation for laughs and read some Giants fans are practically begging their front office to explore a trade for Bryce Young. Likewise for the Rams and the Dolphins. It's hard out here to find the right QB. Dave Canales you better be the one.
