I mean, the guy was a huge bust but he does have the pretty unique insight of making the transition to the NFL as a high pick with huge expectations. That's not nothing. And he's saying pretty much the same thing I've been saying about Williams so yeah, he's gotta be right. LOL!

I know one thing for sure, every time I watched the Ravens this year the thing that always jumped out to me is good lord this DL is dominant.

He's a significantly more impactful pass rusher and should probably be paid more than Brown due to that but yeah, that probably now sets the floor for Brown.

This. There are booms and busts and underperformers and over performers in every single draft class. Always have been, always will be.

Report: the Panthers' roster has more questions than answers so they'll be looking to bring in better football players at nearly every position group.

It seems like everyone is interpreting your rants roughly the same way. If it's not how you wish it to be interpreted then communicate better.

This dude is having a meltdown and creating alternate realities while calling everyone else crazy because his team had a down year when they still ended up in the top 20 in the final poll. Outside of just a handful of programs that's called a pretty good year.

Read your own post that I quoted. You were literally crying about Clemson having an overall lack of talent and that's fuging absurd.

Oh stop. This is that same bullshit folks cooked up to convince themselves that Bryce was carrying inferior talent at fuging Alabama. Clemson is a blue chip blue blood college football program these days. Look at the recruiting class rankings year over year. They're stacked with talent. Do they have down years? Sure. But their "down years" would be pretty good years for most programs. That's just the reality of the college football landscape where the rosters are gigantic and there's plenty of scholarships to go around. The blue chip programs gobble up a crazy amount of talent every year. People who think the transfer portal are going to fix this are probably mistaken. Sure, that 5* WR who is 4th or 5th on Clemson's depth chart might transfer to UNC and be #1 or #2 on their depth chart but at the same time that 2* kid who went to say Marshall and blossomed into one of the best receivers in college football then transfers to Clemson. The rich still get richer but maybe it helps lift up the poor somewhat. I don't know, we'll have to see how it all plays out.

It really has been a perfect storm of how to completely fug up a football organization.

2025 is projected to be a down QB class. That may or may not end up holding true, but leave it to Tepper's Panthers to trade the farm for a bust the size of the local JV HS QB and then plan a tank year for a projected bad QB class. I mean, it all fits perfectly for the type of decision making we've seen in these six years.

Sitting working at my desk this afternoon I heard them come in. These aren't the typical year round Canadian geese that have come to plague a lot of parks, golf course, etc. This pair shows up every spring to use our pond to raise their babies and as soon as they can fly they're off again. They nest in a blackberry patch at the edge of the field across the driveway.

Rattler definitely has a live arm. Someone will take a crack at him in the mid-rounds. Agreed on the Williams diva concern, but honestly Rattler has that same concern too.

Good college QB that just doesn't translate to the NFL IMO. He's a better runner than he is a passer but doesn't have the measurables to translate that running to the NFL level. I hate to use the comp because it feels lazy because they both played at duke but he really is basically a poor man's Daniel Jones.

This. If his footwork hasn't improved dramatically and he still just doesn't look like he belongs on an NFL field in terms of sheer physical traits, then whether we want to admit it or not we know. It would just be a question of of we're willing to swallow our pride and move on or continue with this charade.

Oof. Moton and Christensen are the only two guys on our roster who could conceivably fit.

Just draft the best players available and work toward building a competitive roster. Next season needs to be all about evaluating Bryce. Can he be a franchise QB? Yes or no. Not "can he be a serviceable starter". Not "can we build a good enough roster to carry him". Can he be a franchise QB? Period. If no, move on in 2025. Don't rage fire scapegoat anymore coaching staffs in the meantime.

I saw an article today where Bronny James is reportedly considering staying another year at USC to "improve his draft stock". Bruh... he's averaging 5ppg coming off the bench for a team that's 12-17. Draft stock???

Teams interested in Penix will be doing an independent medical eval on him, especially with his injury history.

Same for the QBs. I think there are four 1st round locks with Williams, Maye, and Daniels probably going top 5 and potentially 1, 2, 3 with McCarthy probably going somewhere in the 10-15 range. Nix and Penix are total wildcards IMO and draft evaluations on them from team to team probably vary wildly if I was guessing. The medical evals for Penix are going to be huge.

There ain't gonna be 7 WRs drafted in the 1st.

We have holes all over this roster. The only way we're gonna dig our way out of the substantial hole we've dug ourselves is to draft good football players. I don't even care about position, just get me good football players.

She did. It's just embarrassing that the proudest thing about their ownership of a football team has absolutely nothing to do with football and led to the shitty field that the players are constantly bitching about. I mean, that pretty much sums it up right there.

I honestly don't think there's any real traction to this Daniels > Maye talk and I'm still stunned the Steelers were dumb enough to fall for Pickett.
