There is no fuging chance we make the playoffs. Come down from the high Sam gave you today and let’s get grounded back in reality. let’s pretend in Sam world that we did. We would be the easiest round 1 exit since the last time we faced the Cowboys in round 1.

Anyone else catch the Ten and Clemson games in the last 2 weeks? I know he slipped big time and was looking like someone to avoid for a while there, but he played his ass off the last two weeks and passed the eye test for me. Thanks to another “moral victory”, he would be available in the range we sit at without having to trade the farm away. I went from “absolutely not” to “well… maaaaybe” recently. Thoughts?

Completely agree with you. Everyone here praising Sam and happy with the win will be singing a very, VERY different tune come next season when Sam is still our QB bc of a few meaningless wins with a projected .500 season (at best). We can’t even lose right. This season was over before it began and nobody seems to fully grasp that.

I think we are in a weird spot where the rules implemented over the last decade that so heavily favor the offense are starting to create a very bad situation for teams that don’t have one of the top 5 QBs. There used to be the ability to have a winning season and deep playoff run with middle of the road QB and dominant D, but now you literally can’t sneeze on a QB without a penalty. Just my opinion, but I think this is what’s causing 75% of the league to look like poo this year.

I blame us more than DJ. We convinced ourselves he's in the same echelon as a Davante Adams, or Justin Jefferson but he "just needs the right qb" just because he's our draft pick. I've never thought he was #1 and I'll die on that hill. Those guys make magic happen out of nothing (at times), and can completely take over a game even when everyone knows they are going to get the ball. Not once has DJ taken over a game. The catch in Atlanta was his only shining moment that I can recall and that's probably because theres been very little shining moments here the last few years. Should have dumped him for that #1, freed ourselves of that contract, and basically got a mulligan on our wr position this draft.

Yet, we turned down GB’s 1st round pick for him. Trash organization makes trash decisions.

If we consider Moore and Burns “cornerstone players” that shows how delusional everyone involved in player personnel decisions are. Until we get that fixed too we will always hover in the .500 range or worse.

The problem is we will end up taking a deal for half of what we were offered at that point. We had them bent over the table with no lube on that offer. By missing out on that once in a lifetime haul for an average player now we can’t get rid of him for anything less now. It was the perfect meeting of desperation and over-valuation, and we missed the boat. Classic Panthers move. New regime, same poo.

I might be wrong here, but didn't we also draft him around the time we were toying with the idea of switching to a 3-4??

Been saying this since last year. He’s going to mess his career up by not getting with a team that’s running a 3-4. He’s not cut out for the Peppers/Rucker role we want him to be.

We dooooooont waaaaaaaant toooooo wiiiiiin anoooother gaaaaaaaame thiiiiiis yeaaaaar

Right? Nobody wants to take off their fandom glasses and see things for what it really is until losses like this happen and then they will go back to saying how glad they are to have Brown still when he gets another gimme sack in a meaningless game.

Exactly! Any other win this season is fuging us

This makes me sick

The 1st for DJ from the Packers absolutely would have been

I’ve been saying this for weeks yet I was told how dumb that would be

Dear god, we better not have turned this down

Who cares? Take the picks and laugh all the way to the bank. After we had years of Peppers and Rucker, Burns isnt even in the same convo.

Man, as soon as the phone rang and someone from the Rams said 2 1's I would've hit him with the "Say no more, his flight is booked tonight and would you like any hats or swag for your kids"

He is a middle of the pack rusher. We would be way better off going after some DE's in the draft and get them on the cheap for 5 years. His contract would cripple us for a non game changing DE.

TAAAAAAKE IIIIIITTTTTTTTTT

I dunno about that. Rivera should’ve never gone for Wentz with Heinicke on the team, he’s a far superior QB. Heinicke has balled out forever, PJ is just now showing a few glimpses of potential.

Good God.. passing TD, Rushing TD, and receiving TD. Unreal what he’s capable of with a coach that schemes things up for him.

Yeah I think we were and declined.

That, and he’s not as great as a lot of our fan base believes
