Can revisit when/if Charlotte gets an MLB team. It has been discussed lately and I think Charlotte and Nashville are supposedly high on the list.

While I think Legette will be better than our last two WRs we drafted, I think Brooks will be the one everyone looks back at as the best player we took in the draft. I have low expectations for him this year, let Chuba try to earn a contract for somebody else next year and see if Sanders can attempt to earn his. Let Brooks get used to the NFL speed and get healthy.

He wouldn’t have done either. He would have signed Kerry Collins or Matt Hasselbeck in Free Agency and then drafted somebody else tbh. It was clear that Cam was better than the other two but everyone was scared to bet on him because Jamarcus Russell was still fresh on everyone’s mind. Guarantee he would have brought back Matt Moore or and signed some vet.

I mean it works the other way too. Look at the people who skipped over Smith, Jenkins, Muhammad, Gamble, Kalil, etc. We have had more misses than hits but I promise other teams do the same thing.

Wonder what they will talk about after Week 6 when Bryce loses his job.

“With the 4th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers select- Quinn Ewers QB- Texas”

Dan Morgan flipping over ever rock he can to not have the worst WR corps again

I spent about 35-40 minutes skimming through each game. It’s painful. Don’t watch it if you’re optimistic at all. That being said though, they still have the offense running the same Frank spread BS and throwing 5 yards 40+ times per game. So not really all that realistic either from what we are hearing about the philosophy.

I think Morgan is going to have a lot to do with it. He played under Mills and was there when Keep Pounding started.

I like the idea of white helmets. If we ever went to it permanently we would have to change home to the blue/white combo. White helmets on the black would look crazy. It would look cool with the white/white or white/blue

It could also turn out to be the Winston/Mariota draft all over again.

Didn’t we also start volunteer OTAs a day late for some reason too?

He’s definitely put on some muscle. We’ll see about his mechanics and footwork. I would honestly settle for him just developing into a league average QB and run the ball like we did in 08 every year.

I’m more excited about this one than I have been in a while. Wasn’t on the Reich train last year at all. I felt like Rhule should have been fired at the end of 22. I hated the changes going into the 2nd Rhule year, mostly because I hated the Rhule hire the year before. I was excited in 19 last time I guess because I hoped changing to a 3-4 and Cam coming back from the 2018 shoulder would bring us back in the form we had before he hurt it. I guess I’m excited this season because I don’t think we can get any worse and the mood is more positive with this staff. Plus, I think Morgan will make better football decisions than Fitterer even though they worked together. I think Morgan just lingered in the background. Example-2022 Draft everyone is cheering after a pick and then they pause and look at Morgan who is on his phone. He glances up says “good pick” and goes back to minding his business.

For some reason I feel like we are going to win it somehow and then get our asses kicked the next 3-4 weeks.

Ron Rivera: 76-63-1 (3-4 Playoffs) John Fox: 73-71 (5-3 Playoffs) Dom Capers: 30-34 (1-1 Playoffs) George Seifert: 16-32 Matt Rhule: 11-27 Steve Wilks: 6-6 Chris Tabor: 1-5 Frank Reich: 1-10 Perry Fewell: 0-4 Dave Canales: ? We will see in a few years where Canales lands on this list. Facts are he could be a horrible coach and still manage into our Top 5.

Yeah there should probably be an asterisk there somewhere.

I like the OL coach. He's not afraid to give people poo. Apparently Evero isn't either.

You know it might be so long ago but I remember Brockermeyer and Matt Campbell being solid in the 90s. I think a lot of people forget just how solid Jeff Mitchell, Kevin Donnalley, and Todd Stuessie were. In 2003 the OL only allowed like 25 sacks for the whole year. Wharton was severely underrated and Whale was good for a bit. Moton is probably Top 5, but I'm not so sure how much of that is because everything around him has been horrible so it's made him look significantly better. I really wish we would have moved him to LT back when.

I wanted Stroud and I think Stroud had an excellent rookie campaign last year. However, I just get the feeling he's going to hit a Sophomore slump. A) I think a lot of people were taken by surprise by their offense, and I imagine there has been a great deal of time put in by opposing DCs to learn habits, tendencies, etc. B) Their schedule is much harder than last season and includes a Miami, Kansas City, Baltimore stretch in the middle of December.

Yeah the 2020 team lost 8 games by a touchdown or less. They were even somewhat competitive in early 2021. After the Washington game loss during Cam's homecoming the Rhule era collapsed.

See I don't mind the black/black at home but I like saving it for certain games. I like the traditional Black/Silver for most. The Black/White needs to go away and never return. Really prefer the White/White away set. The White/Black just doesn't look right no matter how much they wear it. I actually like the White/Blue better than the White/Black. I've honestly never cared for the Blue uniforms at all in any combination. Although, the blue on white with white socks is way better than the blue on silver with black socks from back in the day. Yeah I've always found this frustrating too.

Yeah, its still slow round here y'all.

There were 3 reality checks last year. 1) The joint practice/preseason game with the Jets showed everyone the team wasn't what everyone at BOA stadium thought it was. 2) Dalton starting against Seattle and moving the offense better than Bryce had the first two games or all preseason. 3) Not beating the Bears who were just as beat up as us and knowing we gave them the No. 1 pick. I think Frank was fired after the Bears game. The blowout loss to Dallas and then not being able to beat an imploding Tennessee team just accelerated it.
