That would be crazy especially to us because our pick took Williams. And all the other talent we provided for them. Tbey were smart we were stupid.

I am paranoid I guess but have a hard time feeling like we are getting one

Okay you didn’t propose that the inexperience of the receivers is the reason for the conservative play calling. You didn’t say that, right? I downplayed the OL characterizations because the last game with the ultra conservative approach was sort of a unique situation. One game. Anyhow… Without looking back through your stuff with AT to really be accurate, you basically claim that his absence is kind of at the root of this receiver weakness. My words. I will comment on that. Bryce Young. 1st overall. Billed as a point guard. Third year. That third year is big , I mean when do the training wheels come off? But don’t you think a guy with his pedigree should be able to adapt? and we are half way throug the season. Not week one or two. I mean I didn’t try to misrepresent what you said. I am fine with being corrected bc in that regard. But you are making a lot of claims for a Bryce that many people - including the much respected Greg Cosell - have gotten past. You do know that he is on record twice that I know of, basically saying what I said. What other people say. You are sort of Bryce’s Don Quixote here it seems to me. please excuse whatever typos the phone is small the keys are small. I think I have corrected most of that mistakes.

So it’s the receivers. Okay.

To the thread title, I am sure he is better than somebody thinks.

I am filling my glass for the fifth time.

Bro, Rico got him out of it vs Miami. The opinion part, is sort of born out of the extremely conservative play calling. You don’t think so?

Well he actually did get them into a bad situation vs Miami. As far as the recipe discussed above, Canales is under pressure to improve the record if he wants to keep the job. if he has to play it safe to do that, that is what he does. He apparently believes turning Bryce loose would not be helpful. As far as the 4th down, fine. Bring him in for 4th down short yardage jump passes.

I remember all those names now that I see them. I remember Graham missing the kick in GB too. Swiss cheese memory.

I would think another QB will be signed now?

That might be the best thing Cam ever said.

Not feeling it for some reason but us, 24-12

I had not heard that thanks.Shula made a mess of things this year.

I think we should get to 8. Predicting weeks out, is subject to change too much with injuries etc for either team. I said 6 last year, showing that despite my Bryce pessimism I am generally slightly optimistic. If the Saints weren’t a divisional opponent I’d say we should sweep them. It is hard to beat a division rival twice. I really don’t care that much the biggest issue to me is that we get some clarity on our roster moving forward.

Really? Wow. Sorry. Got my timeline messed up. I remember someone claiming to be Graham’s mom on the old Charlotte.com board so I guess it was a long time ago that he was here. I guess I thought he was after Kasay.

2002 would have been Kasay.

Good lord. Bryce might sniff 7-9 as a Panther this year, after three tries. Rodney did it after a 1-15 season the year before he came.

Yeah it’s been optimism for some people but nothing but pain for others. I am in the latter group.

I curse his name.

Yeah. But Goodell comes out with plans for a Flag Football version of it.

He only cooked like once though, really cooked. He did the minimum ‘good’ in a couple of others. He hasn’t maintained that, or maybe I should say carried it over and built on it. Which is what you want to see. He is just too limited athletically to unlock a pro passing offense. IMO. So you have to settle and compensate. It is nice to win some games and feel better on Sundays. For sure. Edit: PS, on Darnold… where do you think this team would be now with him taking the reins? So maybe he doesn’t have it to win the Super Bowl but he can walk you into the division title pretty much. Getting rid of a guy like that (which Minnesota did) is about like Snyder firing Marty Schottiemer (sp?) or maybe is was San Diego, after a 14-2 season because he lost in the playoffs.

Especially working around this QB. Dan and Tillis and their new analytic people may have crushed this last draft. Dan and Tillis seem to be very shrewd with their negations with other teams in the trade department. I am happy for Morgan if this pans out, it has to be his dream job. And happy for us in that situation. Canales is learning, give him a couple of more seasons and maybe he is caught up to where he aspires to be. He is doing a great job hiding Bryce, still has some miscues but even the really veteran coaches still have those sometimes.

Our turn to avoid a trap game.

I always liked his insight, not just because this time it supports my opinion. He is just really good. The thing about him and Ross Tucker, I have listened to the last two weeks and their preview and analysis is unfocused, and was over before they gave me any real insight into what had happened or what they were predicting would happen. The Green Bay segment prior to the game was a blurb on Jordan Love and then it was over. Never really addressed the contest that was looming. PS I cut my cable and am anti Disney/ESPN but I really miss NFL Matchup. What a good show. They relegated it to 3am Sunday morning and it was hard to find but it was quality.

That’s funny. Especially that guys face as they are ‘escorting’ him off the field. I didn’t think Miller was really that horrible on MNF but have seen some YouTube clips recently and he was a product of his time for sure. Too acerbic for me, in places.
