As this is my first year participating in Huddle discussion, I don't know if you guys have done this in previous years, so forgive me if this is something you already do.

Since opinions are so abundant on the Huddle, let's formalize a bit before the season starts and make some predictions. There's a thread now where everyone is posting their predicted record and another with predictions for DWill/JStew rushing stats.

I'm wondering if one of the senior members could take the lead and maybe start a separate forum for some official preseason predictions. Winner gets jack shite. Except for Huddle bragging rights which can be recognized in the signature.

Suggested date for entering predictions: Monday before Week One.

I know we're a long ways away here, but getting together a formal prediction contest might cut down the number of potentially irrelevant prediction threads that happen in the offseason. I know, I know...that's just me being naive. Of course those threads will continue.

Potential Categories:

Record

End of Season Offense Rank

End of Season Defense Rank

Steve Smith Total Yards

Steve Smith Total TDs

Delhomme Yards

Delhomme TDs

Delhomme INTs

And so forth for key players...

Maybe throw in a few wildcards - anything goes - individual game prediction, player injuries (games missed by ______), etc.

Maybe we could take suggestions for categories as the offseason goes on, and finalize during the preseason. I'd be willing to help come up with a scoring system.

Again, sorry if this is already something that you guys do. If so, someone (politely) shut my noob a*s up and close this thread.

yea, what squirrel said. Besides, traffic has slowed a lot since the season ended, not really sure if opening a new forum is worth it. But if it becomes popular, you can ask the Adms to sticky it.

And I thought you have been here longer than a year.

Yeah, it seems like that, doesn't it?...

      Bryce Young vs Saints analysis

      By d-dave · Posted

      I've watched and listened to several evaluations from the good ole youtubers.  From what I was able to watch, the first few drives before I left to do a job to the end of the game were very different for Bryce.  So he had a "good" game.  Which is great.  I love a win, period.  His WRs had some drops, thing ripped away, etc.  Not great, but a W is a W, right? I think the Panthers have to start Bryce.  You have to see if he continues to build on the good plays and make fewer and fewer bad plays.  No QB is going to play a perfect game.  But we need to continue to see Bryce make plays.  Does he have the ability to will his team to victory?  I'm not sure. I'm still in the Bryce is a backup QB camp.  I'm glad he had a good game, I glad we won, but I need to see more before we make a decision to keep or trade him.  Playing Andy literally does NOTHING to help you for the future.  Andy may not even resign with the Panthers.  We could be out both starting QBs by the time FA/Draft season hits. Ultimately, this is a Dan Morgan and Dave Canales issue.  Can they get value out of Bryce to help them improve the total roster?  Is there a FA QB who would be an upgrade?  A surprise cut or post season trade?  Or is there a QB at the top of the draft who they think they can mold into a high level starting QB?  I don't know. I do know I want to see more of Bryce Young and more out of him on the field.  I want to see the fire, the competitor come out.  I want him getting pissed.  I want him to grab his beanbag and tell us all he's the f'ing dude.  I just don't think we'll see that out of Bryce.  If not the fire, then let me see the ice - let me see the rattle proof dude who kills with accuracy and playmaking no matter how hot and crazy it gets.
