We don't know how it will unfold but it seems a scenario where we will be pressured to produce the same points as last week. Tall order. Same old story, who makes the fewest mistakes probably takes it. They have us on WRs and QB on paper. We probably have the running game. First week with film on Canales/Dalton.

Yeah, that cold blooded that Canales touted coming in, he found out what that really was. Lack of urgency. Andy looked like a point guard, ironically. Distribution, all over.

Hey, it wasn't about Sanders, at all.

cell stuff is down a lot.. I lost a friend last week, the day I was going to see him (40 miles), he never answered my texts. So I get it. They are young and probably fine.

I can't predict but I surely expect to be respectable on offense. Really Xavier Legette, this is an early test for him. I have faith in Dalton, I got better with age myself and he sure looks like he gets it. Hoping he stays upright. So happy to have an NLF capable pocket style QB. Hope the no name defense can hang.

That's a good one. Keep that one. That second part... yeah.. I agree. But if they suck it just means the OL sucks, right?

I gave up the fantasy stuff it was too time consuming and the Thursday games rushed me. Funny thing is don't even recognize all those guys.

lol I guess? I'm not sure what that is unless a fantasy football thing.

lol, that is not technically the season. 2-2 would feel better than 1-3. 2-2 after 0-2 and a QB change, instills a belief.

Basically, it doesn't matter if you are a dawg or a lizard or hippo if you don't have the tools. I want the tools guy to also be a dawg. Cam was a dawg. Jake was a dawg. Jake wouldn't have been much without that drive and determination, I don't think.

You are welcome. There are probably going to be rural bridge washouts and a lot of high water. There is a section of the Waccamaw river over in Conway SC that floods large numbers of properties just about every time something like this happens. They are all on stilts. We didn't get much other than one big band off that hurricane over here but it was pretty strong. But it went through at 30 mph no time to sit and drop a large amount. They'll be flooded in a lot of places downstream. Probably in a couple of days.

I remember the whole 'can't run between the tackles' thing and the subsequent focus on proving people wrong. He is kind of a poster boy for overpaying over drafting running backs. To me. I don't dislike him at all but he is a short shelf life player when being used a certain way. And if they don't use that, they are leaving something on the table which, after paying so much is difficult to do. He has the receiving ability and I'd have just gotten a D'onta Foreman and let him handle the grunt work and feature CMC on all else, if (I) insist on having him. I am not a personal fan of Kamara but he was a third round pick and has had a real nice career. Better production than CMC at the beginning too.

I think you are doing the devil's advocate for some reason. Maybe you are bored. Several? You mentioned two. Now it is several.... We're going to see, but he has a downgraded receiving complement this week, and downgraded protection. So expecting a replay is not realistic but I expect him to look like an NFL quarterback and the one we have that gives us a chance to win.

That was so funny, watching the handwringing and indignation over that. It was totally in line with the pro sports handbook for dealing with the media.

Considering those were no doubt top level throws, you take those when they come. I don't think you could say he can't make them; because he just did. So maybe you say he doesn't consistently make them, I say 'who does?'. I don't see how you can look at the overall total picture and say that was backup QB flukey stuff and he'll not be able to do that on the regular. I am for sure not saying he won't miss some throws but what he showed is if he gets the protection he got and makes the right read I think he can eat like a top half of the league QB. I am much more wary of less than perfect communication with the receivers as opposed to lack of physical execution.

On the heels of discussing how Andy Dalton had just totally exposed the fake Bryce narrative, through his demonstration that with good quarterbacking the offense looks night and day, NIGHT and DAY. She asks about Bryce. Nice kid... great player, he'll get there.... WTF else do they say?

Are you saying Luke would not trash the organization publicly? Because that really should be your thinking on this.

FEMA did a zone remapping for the coastal areas a few years ago that may still be going on.

Not sure why you'd say that. There were a number of bad throws, so it wasn't perfect. Someone said dropped Ints but it wasn't like in their breadbasket just put where they could have made a play. This is with something like 3 days of reps with the first unit, no preseason ( a big deal to a lot of people). Hadn't been on the field literally in a year. I think we are going to see a very similar Dalton in that regard.

Yeah he was right there with the QB play as being fuging horrendous. I watched the 4th quarter again most of it. He doesn't seem to be winning the initial contact. Not sure how much push he will get but he wasn't manhandled either. The stuff with the stunts, that was a big deal. I don't really have belief that he has fixed that in a camp. But sometimes people can make a jump, a lot of progress in just a short time when something clicks for them. We're about to see, Andy gets that ball out quick which will help.

I never understood why you draft a rookie QB and ship out the best WR on your team signed to a very affordable deal, comparatively anyway. One of the ten football commandments is a running game and defense are necessary to their development but a reliable target at WR has to be one too.

Some NC rivers ultimately flow to Winyah Bay in Georgetown SC. It is always a delayed flooding thing downstream. Winyah Bay is dangerous at those times. And always; really nothing to fool with in general.

Oh, thanks. I saw that. Luke is a nice guy. Just, I wonder if he would answer that the same way in private. Bryce Young the Human Rorschach Test.

It's so mind boggling because he is so unsuited. Physically overmatched. That's all. I need to see Luke saying whatever that was he said.

Until I hear a legit NFL scout admit something like that, I don't want to denigrate them. I doubt they were that involved. It's not like they needed to discover him on some small college field and point him out to their superiors. This wan't really that hard and the receipts are right here to read in the pre draft threads. Young was just an historic outlier, I can't overemphasize that. And outlying the wrong way, too small.
