travisura

Fields is a FA next year.

This same dynamic occurs when European soccer teams come play in the US on their preseason tours. You'll see jerseys of almost every club and national team in the world lol.

I think the issue is that the yardage that Bryce is averaging is not indicative of sustained success, which makes the last two wins look like flukes, rather than a trend. A win is better for building morale and establishing a winning culture, but if you're purely trying to evaluate if your QB is the guy, then a 300 yard game, even if it's a loss, is more helpful than a 150 yard game that happened to be a win. And to answer your question, I think you've gotta average a lot more YPG than 117, Bryce's current average, for the yardage to be no longer an issue. You could double his YPG and it'd still just put him at 14th in the league.

Now imagine how good they can be if they had a QB who could consistently throw for 250 yds a game

Can't say I feel bad for them. Why?

I feel like I'm going insane when I hear basically anyone related to the NFL outside of Carolina talk about how good Burns is. The commentators during this last game were gushing all over him, and indirectly implying that the Panthers were fools to let him go. It's infuriating that he gets away with only having one or two above average plays per game, and he gets called elite for it. Oh well, not our problem anymore.

First round DE or OLB plus getting Brown back from injury and we might be cooking next year. This year we got 3 (potentially 4) contributors on offense. We need a draft like that for defense.

Just had 2 TDs in a game that we won by 1 point. Lol.

Not a backup, a 1-2 punch, and that's if Brooks works out, which is not a guarantee. The difference between paying Sanders and paying Chuba is that Chuba has actually proven he can play the position well under current circumstances, Miles clearly hasn't. If you want to build a winning culture, you keep guys like Chuba around.

You're constantly bitching about letting our talented players leave because we're not willing to pay them. We decide to pay one of the best players on offense (a team friendly contract at that) and here you are still bitching. Funny how that works innit.

If Brooks pans out we have double trouble part 2

You'd think that Panthers fans of all people would understand the value of having two starting caliber RBs on the roster.

Good decision. We don't know if Brooks will be a good RB in the league, so locking down the RB that has actually performed well despite the shitshow around him is a no brainer, and it's a reasonable contract too. If Brooks is the real deal then we have a 1-2 punch at RB again.

Is this a commentary on how fans expectations are often much higher than the actual market value?

Most of your Cowboys related media intake would be gone if you just stopped watching First Take

Defense

They won't get a single first down

Honestly having pick 2 or 3 might save us from a bad decision, so that tells me we'll have the first pick

And if he doesn't get to the Super Bowl you have to apologize to everyone on this board for filling these threads with your nonsense.

Love it when the game is over at halftime. Seems to be a hallmark of the past couple of seasons.

Lest we forget the "Protect the Bank" slogan rolled out before the game against the Steelers, only to be embarrassed by Mitch Trubisky of all people. There's some rose colored revisionist history going on here.

Honestly yes. 4-11 while being theoretically able to win most games is about the best case scenario for this season, especially with the defensive injuries we've sustained. It would give us the platform to build the roster based off of what Canales and his system requires. We're also gonna dump a bunch of dead cap this offseason so we should be able to play around in FA. Improvement is what we're looking for, and 4-11 while being competitive is miles ahead of where we were last year.

We're starting to rebuild the culture. It's too early in the process to be making declarative statements, but so far the signs are promising.

You think those topics are unrelated?
