When you don't prepare properly you're probably going to be unprepared. We'll see how it goes this year.

We approached preseason last year like it didn't matter and we had it all figured out. That ended up in us handing the #1 overall pick to Chicago to get DJ Moore a QB.

If you think there's a potential franchise QB available and you don't have a long-term franchise QB on the roster, you almost have to take him. Kirk Cousins is 35 and coming off a torn Achilles. That's no sure thing in the short-term and almost certainly isn't a long-term solution. I have a lot of questions about Penix in the NFL. His arm isn't much better than Bryce's. But if it works out they're gonna look brilliant. If it doesn't, it's not like they mortgaged the franchise to get him.

If Penix works out they're setup to run the division for the foreseeable future. The first team to land a quality young QB is going to have a massive competitive advantage in the NFC South.

This is why I want Bryce to boom or continue to bust this year. We need an answer. Worst case scenario is he marginally improves and every thread is still devolving into a pissing contest about Bryce Young.

I don't care about the process. If it gets the results then whatever. If we start out 0-4 looking like trash then it'll be fair to start criticizing the preseason approach.

A little? He's relying on scratch off lottery tickets to pay his rent at center. LOL

So? I'd do the same thing. I hate to break it to you, but we're the dregs of the league right now. Anyone with other options is gonna choose another option. The only free agents we're getting are the ones with no other options or the ones we're willing to significantly outbid the competition to sign. It is what it is.

Why?

If no one is offering good money might as well sit around and wait to see if someone goes down on a contender and all of a sudden his market changes. Vets HATE training camp anyway. Might as well skip as much of it as you can or potentially even all of it.

And whether it’s hemp or marijuana, that’s for the officer to investigate, and if they’re wrong about it, and charge you anyways, well you can prove the difference at trial,” Dixon told Channel 9′s Evan Donovan. Hey Phil, you gonna pick up all those legal fees bills? Motherfuger acting like it's just no big deal to be wrongfully indicted and have to hire attorneys to go to court to defend yourself. This is akin to charging anyone with a white powdery substance for cocaine possession and telling them, "Well, you can just go to court and argue there." There's a real simple solution to all this idiocy. A solution a lot of states have already approved.

When he climbed into the stands literally sobbing on mommy's bosom after a loss I was like... yeah, that ain't it. That ain't the dog that's gonna cut it in the NFL. Your whole rookie season is gonna feel like that in comparison to college. He ain't gonna make it through that.

We'll see what he looks like when teams are scheming specifically to exploit his weaknesses. Yeah, he's gonna look good in preseason against vanilla schemes and primarily backups. They're gonna bait him and I think he'll mentally break when he struggles. We'll see.

Picking the wrong guy and handing the stuff to Houston and then trading away the pick to hand the Bears a stud? Sounds like peak David Tepper Panthers to me. I still think Williams is 100% boom or bust and I'm probably at least 75% bust.

There are guys that will be on our final roster at WR and OL who aren't currently on the team. Someone else's trash is better than our current trash.

It hurt me watching him get beat like an old rug every snap.

Unless he's young and cheap I'd rather have a pick. We aren't competing for anything other than the #1 overall pick this season.

Oh, I've learned to never underestimate Tepper's Panthers' ability to get worse.

Seriously. 80% of the players that saw the field for us on Thursday night have to be worse than waiver wire trash.

Just now seeing this thread. Hope they can get it all cleared up. Both of my inlaws have had cataract surgery in recent years. It was easy peazy for them.

Maybe trying to showcase him for trade bait? With Brissette there, Maye the #3 overall pick, and the promise that Milton has shown I don't think he has any chance at all of making the roster. Practice squad seems like his only hope in NE. If he's not gonna make your roster and someone is willing to throw you a late rounder, hey why not? I just don't think they wanted to show much with Brissette and Maye. Seems like joint practices are basically replacing preseason games in terms of actually working on stuff. They're just showing up to these games because they're on the schedule and there's tickets to sell and TV contracts to fulfill.

I hope he and Daniels play more than Maye did Thursday night. I know you're not wanting to give early opponents much film on guys to work off of but damn... getting first glimpses of rookie QBs is one of the very few intriguing things about preseason. Entertain me damn it! LOL

With young third string QBs I'm an eye test slut. I don't give a fug about any other metric. Just give me a guy who might be able to develop into something because if we're down to our third stringer we're probably fuged anyway.

It is. Top of the league VS. bottom of the league

I'll take Willis and Milton and you can have the field.
