I think there is a day 3 QB or two who could make some noise--with the NIL movement etc. it is possible the QBs fall from one bad system to another and their stock drops/

I struggle to see him anything more than a tragically comical sideshow. He made his $12m or so--time to go blow it

My wife told me to grill turkey burgers-so that is not a good omen for the seahawks. I think the Pats watched the film from the last 2 games of 2024 to see what teams did to make Darnold suck again. Vrabel will know how to do it. I want seattle to win, but I am not seeing it. Darnold is going to Darnold. Heard it hear first.

aside from a roster spot, we don't benefit by cutting him.

I would consider Cam as a QB coach--he says what needs to be said in a positive way

Cam asks some good questions.

Legette is a country boy who played QB in high school. He was learning WR at SC and had a year as a starter--he did well, but he was raw when we picked him. He is not smart, but he is sincere and trustworthy, based on my assessment of him from the outside looking in. He has had to overcome adversity in his personal life, his professional life--so I would not rule him out. He got a lot of attention (his accent) early on and it occurred to me that he might not know the difference between being laughed with and being laughed at--this suggests some possible social weaknesses that a small towner needs to develop in a very competitive business in big cities. So he needs experience, coaching, culture, and confidence. Does he have it? The clock is winding down.

I see what you are saying, but I would counter by saying the feet are part of the mental side of his game. And you say the same thing here--about his field awareness.

And so is Coker. And so is Bryce (if he becomes part of the equation). There is a lot to like about the WR/QB room in terms of "people you can cheer for".

To the OP's credit, Ron Rivera, imo, used Cam at times like a fullback. The fact that he never had back-to-back winning seasons with a stud QB says a lot. The OL was an afterthought. Cam saved RR's job many times. RR was NFC coach of the year twice during that time, but he never earned it. I wish we had kept Fox. He got it. Never had a great QB and won more.

Is it though? JK. I agree. When he was carted off the field crying like a baby I knew his days were numbered. That is not just an injury to a joint or tendon--that is your brain. He played 8 years at a position where he was the best we have seen for most of them.

I was partially right. I stated that he was a rookie.

I have absolutely no problems with Bryce the human being. That is why I hold out hope for him. I want him to be successful

While I can't add to the topic, I can share other unwatchable stuff.

Thank God we are inthe NFC South--

When Sanders was named as an alternate, I was all like, "That's a big ol bowl of NOPE." In my view, they would be better off showing a documentary on the 32 "man of the year" candidates to show what they do for charities etc.

I was afraid of that--and definitely see it. He looks solid. I'd take any of the top 4 OTs--and I am confident one will be there--not sure how Proctor would fit here--but there are 4 I would take.

I really really like the developmental OTs to start grooming as Moton II. (See previous post). In other words, you are probably right--BC could be slowed and Nijman is not an answer. We probably need a T in free agency. the depth at Edge (especially after the SR Bowl) makes me think we draft an OT early. The OT I want (being realistic--after a trade back in round 1): Monroe Freeling (UGA). Forget the "big 4"--at least 3 will be gone.

I agree. He is solid. Another player I think is underrated and with good reason (I will explain): Monroe Freeling UGA Many have him the fifth-rated OT, but I would put him at 2 or 3. Reason? He played the season with an ankle issue and still kicked arse. Here is a write-up that describes him--the injury, in my view, has him rated lower than if healthy all season. OT Monroe Freeling Georgia | 6'7" | 315 lbs Ht:6'7" Wt:315 lbs Class:JR Age:21 (25-Jul-2004) Monroe Freeling earned Second-Team All-SEC honors from league coaches for his performance during the 2025 season. Starting 12 of 13 games, he was twice named SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week after dominant showings against Auburn and Texas, notably grading out at 80 percent with zero pressures allowed against the Longhorns. During the 2025 season, he managed a nagging ankle injury suffered against Kentucky but remained a cornerstone for an offense that ranked first nationally in fourth-down conversions. As a draft prospect, he is recognized for his exceptional reach, mobility in pass protection, and "road-grading" power in the running game. While he has proven to be a reliable starter at left tackle, he also offers significant versatility having started at multiple positions along the line during the 2024 season. Here are some others I like (mostly developmental, but we have at least a year--we hope--at RT) Your boy: The Panthers were looking at Barber at the SR Bowl practices, I believe. Good run blocker--needs work in pass pro. A RT candidate? Shelton would be an ideal swing OT. I really like Bowry. Footwork is huge for a T, and we do a lot of zone blocking.

We could/should re-sign BC and Nijman and draft 2. There are 5 or 6 expected to go after round 1 that I really like. Some are a year away, so I would give Moton an apprentice now.

I think (April 2025) the Panthers already gave Ickey his 5th year deal for 2026, a $17m fully guaranteed. This, in my view, eliminates the practicality of signing a free agent, as if any ever make it to free agency anyway. So we have a year before deciding on Ickey's next deal / future.

I think he is 24 or so. Not sure what that means, but it is (in my mind) like shaving 2-3 years off the career. Kinda like when we drafted Chris Weinke. He was 48 I think

He is in interview mode. I like him, but we don't draft from Clemson--we draft So Carolina in Round 1. Its a rule. Seriously, we can grab a great edge in round 2. I think we should trade back, fill 2 needs in round 2 (I think we can find a good Edge and LB in round 2--That would be huge

Kind of surprised that Lomu (OT) is not a first rounder. Thank NAS

Whether or not this is true, it is how we have to approach it. he is like the girlfriend who said, "I need some space for a while." A while? She is GONE, buddy. Deal with the loss and move on. Give yourself a moment of silence and lick your wounds and get back on the dating sites. (Sniff, Sniff)
