Dak is a relatively run of the mill starter. He's an asset on a rookie contract, he's a liability as a big money franchise QB. But that's miles better than Trey Lance who lost a backup job to Sam Darnold.

Haven't seen the Chargers this year. Let's get a look at poor man's Drake Maye.

And walk away from those millions? No way.

We honestly might not be far from it. Who in the world is gonna pony up again next year outside of corporate interests?

And there's the real problem. I don't know what it'll take to make him swallow his ego and admit that he needs to stay the fug out of the football decisions.

Honestly, Snow was the least of our issues under Rhule. When they call to inquire about Chinn just hang up. Like damn y'all, our ass is still hella sore from that last trade deal reaming y'all gave us. Let us recover from that before discussing another deal with you guys.

I legitimately do feel bad for PSL holders. That sucks. They're useless. I don't even blame the folks for selling them to opposing fans these days.

Maybe a team that liked him in the draft would toss a conditional 7th at us or something like that. So basically, no.

I'm talking about an open draft of current NFL players if you just took everyone and threw them in the pot and started the league over with an open draft. There's no way in hell Adam Thielen gets taken in the top 100 picks. Zero chance. Hell, there would probably only be about 10 WRs taken total in the top 100 picks because teams are gonna be taking a lot of QBs, OTs, pass rushers, and CBs too. You're talking the elite to very good #1 WRs.

Tyreek Hill was in Miami last year when Mahomes led the league in both 20+ yard and 40+ yard completions.

The point is one guy and one offense has proven he can throw deep and opposing defenses have to respect that threat even if they aren't doing a lot of it at the moment. The other guy and other offense hasn't. I really didn't think that needed explaining, but there it is.

This. Tua and Bryce are close. I'm sure Tua was just telling Bryce to keep his head up and focus on the things that he can control and that he believes in him. The same stuff anyone close to Bryce with his best interests at heart would be telling him. It just carries a lot more weight coming from a fellow NFL QB who has walked this path before.

Ain't no way a 33 year old WR gets drafted among the top 100 picks in an open draft.

That's fair. I mean, everyone definitely questions Patrick Mahomes' ability to throw deep with that noodle arm of his. Honestly, I think our inability to threat defenses vertically is the #1 issue wrong with our offense.

It's not surprising. I think going into the season if you were objectively looking at the NFL you would've circled the NFC South as having both the worst QB situation and the worst overall offensive situation. I mean, if you had an open NFL draft, how many NFC South offensive players would be drafted in say the top 100 picks?

NFL Next Gen stats. Maybe they weren't updated after the latest game? I don't know. Okay, second to dead last in that category behind a guy who has been playing hobbled all year

There is a long list of guys who looked great in college and it just didn't translate to the NFL for whatever reason. We've all seen the college highlights. They don't matter anymore in our context. If you're a Bama fan or college football fan wanting to talk about the college player, fully relevant. As it pertains to the Panthers currently? Couldn't possibly be more irrelevant. We are now watching him play in the NFL. That's what's relevant this point. The deep balls have been rare and when they have been thrown they've been terrible. That's just the harsh current reality.

His longest pass completes traveled 33 yards in the air. That's... lemme check... dead last in the NFL. His average in air distance is 6.3 yards. Lemme check again... yep, dead last.

This. We need to transition to preparing for the future. Just wait to see how desperate we get late in the season if we're on track to hand #1 overall to the Bears. Tepper does NOT want that embarrassment.

It sucks we can't figure out how to use Chinn. This is what I was afraid of when they were calling him a nickelback in the off-season. He ain't a nickel. He's an in the box SS or a weak side OLB. If you're not going to use him as such just trade him for whatever you can get and let him move on with his career because this is just a waste for everybody.

I honestly feel bad for the Panthers' PR team. What an impossible gig.

Yeah, if we recreate the Dolphins or Niners situation then Bryce has a chance. What's our chances of recreating those scenarios though? Good OL, offensive genius of a coach, elite weapons everywhere. That's all we need.

A run? A RUN??? What in the fug??!!!

Hell, sometimes he literally jumps like a frog with his shoulders square to the field and tries to throw. That poo has to stop. Nobody can generate any velocity like that.
