Sanders looked like a guy who didn't belong in the league at first then improved then got hurt. I still don't know who he is as an NFL player but I haven't seen enough yet to count on him as anything more than camp competition long term. Tremble is a mediocre #2/solid #3. That's just what he is. That people are excited about Mitchell Evans and his 9 catches for 90 yards through 7 games kinda says everything about our TE group. Wanting to take TE off the board this off-season is bat poo crazy.
-
So you'd forego an opportunity to upgrade based on what you've seen? I wouldn't. I think these ideas of going into off seasons with clear plans on which positions to target usually end in reaches in the draft and overpaying in FA. Upgrade where you can when you can where it makes sense
-
To be determined. They haven't shown me enough to forego opportunities to potentially upgrade that's for sure. Right now I'd say they look like a group of 2/3s in need of a #1.

some good news. Greg will call our game Sunday
LinvilleGorge replied to Captain Morgan's topic in Carolina Panthers
Early Romo was great. Dude was literally calling the play like 80% of the time. Really just hammered home how hard it is to trip up a veteran NFL QB. -

I think the former players jump all in at first and blow minds because they're used to breaking down film from a player's perspective then they get lazy with it and just become another talking head. Except Brady. He just jumped in with his crazy contract and immediately just became another talking head. -

Greg Olsen is the best announcer in the game. Straight up. Romo was the best on his early days but had started mailing it in in recent years. Greg's the best now -
Bingo. Two rings and he played absolutely out of his mind in those two runs. It wasn't like he got carried to those rings. I get that he was inconsistent throughout his career but in those two SB runs he was HIM. Do I think he's a top level HOFer? Honestly, no. But I couldn't be mad about the guy getting in.
-
Yeah, just one of those complete head scratchers like WTF was THAT??? I'm not sold on Penix as a long-term starting QB yet, but he's normally a lot better than that. Dude looked like a guy signed off the couch who was gonna go right back to the couch. LOL
-
That and the Falcons just inexplicably shitting the bed. Not to say our defense had no part in that, but the Falcons definitely just flat out didn't show up that day and Penix in particular was god awful.
-
Saying the D is improved from last year is giving credit where credit is due. Our opponents are a combined 18-29-1. Our overall schedule has been very weak so far. It is what it is. I look forward to seeing how they can play against consistently better competition as the schedule ramps up.
-
They're certainly playing well albeit admittedly against weak competition so far. We'll see how it holds up as the schedule gets tougher. Either way, the defense is certainly improved from last year's mess.

Horn and Brown appreciation thread
LinvilleGorge replied to WarPanthers89's topic in Carolina Panthers
What? You weren't thrilled with the Sione Fua/Terrell McClain combo? -
Horn and Brown appreciation thread
LinvilleGorge replied to WarPanthers89's topic in Carolina Panthers
This is why I think Brown might actually be the better of the two. The DL Jenkins played on was beastly. HOFer Peppers on one end, good starter Rucker on the other, and good starter Buckner was probably the weakest link. The opposing OL couldn't focus on Jenkins near as hard as they can on Brown. -
Speaking of revisiting trades: Brian Burns

The only thing that upsets me is that we didn't take the offer from the Rams. -
The injury concern is another knock on drafting the position high. It's tough to stay on the field as a RB. Those guys take a pounding and most are washed in their late 20s. It's like buying a work truck. You don't want to go buy a shiny brand new high dollar truck off the lot just to beat the hell out of it. Go and buy a used truck with low mileage because you know what's almost certainly gonna happen to it.
-
Yeah, a top 10 RB pick pretty much needs to be a HOFer to be worth it. It's one of the easier positions to find a decent "good" player.
-
His on target percentage is way down. 79% last year down to 64% this year.
-
Houston's OL sucks but Stroud has also definitely regressed. Similar story to Jayden Daniels in Washington. Both guys looked like future MVPs as rookies but sustaining success in the NFL at QB is hard. The more tape there is on you for opposing DCs to study the harder it gets.
-
I meant that saying that about the Jets while we've also made Darnold and Baker look like guys who shouldn't be in the league
-
Those are mighty big rocks being tossed around in this glass house. LOL
-
He's not gonna be the answer but for the offense Canales wants to run we want a guy with an arm. Baker was well suited for what he wants to do.
-
I think we're decently competitive in the first half leaning on our running game but they pull away in the second half leaning on Josh Allen. Our lack of pass rush is gonna be a problem when we face elite QBs.
-
I expected these games tonight to be pretty good and they're just not competitive at all. The scoreboards may not reflect blowouts but the games just weren't competitive on the field. Maybe the Texans will turn it around in the second half but I'm not having in there to find out.
-
Seattle is in complete control of the game so sure, let's do a reverse WR pass... interception. LOL
-
British Brooks is in the NFL? He went to UNC and barely saw the field, granted behind Michael Carter (4th round, 2nd pick) and Javonte Williams (2nd round, 3rd pick).
