A loss to the Saints on MNF would be as bad a start as the Panthers can get.

Look at UGA without Bennett. Replacing QBs is hard sometimes, even when you have 4 and 5 star recruits stacked like cordwood.

Bama had a nice run with Hurts, Tua, Mac, then Young but the talent gap isn’t what it was for them with NIL money involved. I know what you are saying though incorporating young new QBs into an offense is tough. It’s what Carolina is currently struggling with in the NFL.

This isn’t how the team has been operating though. If they truly believed this they would have taken the Burns deal. I agree we SHOULD be rebuilding, but the moves we have been making are that we are a “QB away,” and now that we have that guy it’s time to win. Any team who thought they were rebuilding loads up on draft picks and we are literally doing the opposite of that. 

I've seen a lot of "well if it were we a rebuild they'd be doing this" type of logic (all of it extremely flawed) and people freaking out and panicking because of that.

It was always going to be a foundation building year.

So many act like this team doesn't remotely have a playoff caliber roster or a chance of it. Do you remember the only reason they weren't in the playoffs last year was because a bone headed stupid penalty by dj Moore. Upgrading the most important position in football and bringing in an all-star coaching staff to boot brought some expectations in a division like this. No reason they shouldn't have a legitimate shot.

You were skeptical of 2021, but you're absolutely certain you know who and what we are based on two games into this year? 

Yeah, sure...

I went into this season with no definitive expectations because I knew the kind of season we were looking at.

A rebuild.

This season is about building a foundation, getting our franchise QB adjusted to the pro level and hopefully learning a thing or two along the way. Any winning we do is just gravy.

To anyone who went in expecting more than that, or especially expecting playoffs or some kind of strong push, I've called that unrealistic...and still do.

Hell yea I was skeptical in 2021. I’ve thought Matt Rhule was a fraud since the day they hired him. Sam Darnold was Jets reject and those never pan out well. That was easy to see. 

But like a broken record I will keep saying it, we were sold on a high priced “all star” coaching staff and a #1 overall pick at QB, so damn right expectations should be higher. Starting 0-2 in the division while the rest of the division is 2-0 after all the moves they made is a bad look no matter what excuse you want to make. This is professional football.

Except they shouldn't...

All you're really doing right now is trying to find an argument to justify being emotionally upset about losing.

It's silly.

After showing life late last season under Wilks, with the coaches they brought in, and the price they paid to get Bryce Young… if you think we shouldn’t have reasonable expectations that the team is competitive this season well I guess keep expecting nothing and you’ll never be disappointed (except I know you will be)

No, I don't. And no, I won't...at least not this season.

All I'm hoping for this year is improvement, especially towards the final few games of the year.

Next season is when we can start talking about having higher expectations.

      I saw that too. He and Sanders (TE) both let a guy in untouched. I have no idea who was supposed to get him. Still a damned solid performance over all.

      Dan Morgan in a single offseason

      I think it is going to likely boil down to him not wanting to be here so we might have to make a big overpay again.

      Dan Morgan in a single offseason

      By t96 · Posted

      My responses in bold. Is this Dan's burner account or something? lol what a ridiculous post I'm willing to give Dan some benefit of the doubt on a few of these things. I personally am high on Brooks but I'm not proclaiming him our future until we see him do something here. Not sold on Legette, of course his low stats have been partially due to Bryce but I haven't seen nearly enough from him to say he'll be a stud. Wallace can barely earn playing time and is overhyped, he could turn out to be great but again nothing we've seen yet suggests that will happen. We're riding a high wave due to such a great game from Dalton, etc. last week, and I'm willing to see how things continue to play out with Dalton before making big proclamations, but I'm still highly skeptical of this roster as a whole and our cap situation is an absolute mess this year and next. We also really don't have a single star impact player on the team right now, D Brown is the closest thing but he's only shown it for 1 season before now getting a significant injury. Dan has been GM for less than a year but he's been AGM for several years before that and was a significant part of the front office that left us in this big mess.  I think it's more likely than not that Dan will be fired within the next 3 years. I hope I'm wrong but after years of having blind faith and getting bitten every time under Tepper, I've become much more of a realist.
