As of right now, I dont believe we have any player on the roster worth keeping. That's going toward Kemba as well. I dont see any player on this team owning this team as of yet. You can look at all 29 other teams and tell who the leader of the team is. A lot of fans are just being fans. They love their guys, i.e. Hendo for the last few years.

 

I still havent seen anything out of Kemba that make me think he's the long term, sure answer for this young team. I look at other young PGs and I see a Curry, Lillard, and the rookie Michael Carter-Williams. Most fans are "tagging" Kemba being the LEADER of this team. I love his heart, but when I watch this team I just dont see that. I believe that if we could ask Kemba if he feels this is his team, the answer would be "no". He hasn't own this team yet. A legitimate PG control and run the team. I havent seen that out of Kemba.

 

 

I am finding the love for Cody Zeller, but if he doesnt come out anytime soon showing me that he was worthy of being the no4 pick in the draft, I'm going to BLOW up. I guess Im just asking too much too soon. But, this team needs legitimate players right now. I'm not blaming Zeller, but more so at Cho/MJ. Hendo is so bad, just terrible. I hate to keep saying it, but I really feel that we should have replaced Hendo with Ben McLemore. Especially, when we knew we were going after Big Al and bringing back McRoberts.

They've played 3 games, dude. Chill out. I know along with others that you're one of those fans who is hard on Kemba and not forgiving at all. Also, please tell me who the leader of Phoenix, Toronto and Milwaukee's teams are, because I'm certain they're not as good of a leader as KW. 

 

The team is better than it was, but it's still a 25- to 35-win team, and when you're one of those teams, you're gonna have nights where you straight up suck. Doesn't mean everyone deserves to be cut.

wow, over react much?  Jefferson is a huge part of this team.  Him not playing right now makes an impact. Also not sure how you guys got it in your head that winning on the road was easy.  Its going to take time for the players to learn their new system and develop chemistry.

Even Miami and Chicago have 2 losses so lets give it 15-20 games before making an assessment. I believe the team is definitely better than last years with Jefferson playing. I do agree that these first round picks need to step up and show that they were worth those picks. Kemba has been good but not impressive and Zeller hasn't show much yet but we'll see. It's still early.

I'll keep saying it until he take it up a NOTCH.

 

This was exactly what you guys told me about Brandon LaFail and Gerald Henderson the last 3 years. What happend? I was right. I'm not saying Kemba is that poor of a player, but I dont believe he is the answer to be the PG who's going to carry this team to the next level. I'm a FAN but I'm also tired of rooting for mediocrity.

 

Phoenix: Eric Bledsoe

Toronto: Rudy Gay

Milwaukee may be the only other team with no leader along with Charlotte.

 

And as of right now, NO this team is not better than it was last year.

    • Exactly the type of thing he would have done here. The excuse people were stannin’ so hard claiming he would have looked just as bad. Just not true. 
    • Yes and there aren't 32 starting QBs in the league either. Too many teams and too many games. The NFL has regressed over the years and game quality is lacking. The other leagues are supposed to be farm leagues but it doesn't matter. You just won't have 32 no matter what they do. The move to super athletes playing QB at all levels has lead to this. It used to be those guys played other positions but now they are QBs who can't really QB.  It has a trickle down effect too. OL can't block because they never had to. The fact that in today's game your QB must be able to run at least a little to survive is evidence of this as well. IMO they have ruined the game same as with the NBA. It's been simplified to the point of being boring.  Just look at the top 10 this season. Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs) Joe Burrow (Bengals) Josh Allen (Bills) Lamar Jackson (Ravens) Dak Prescott (Cowboys) Jalen Hurts (Eagles) Brock Purdy (49ers) Jordan Love (Packers) Justin Herbert (Chargers) Matthew Stafford (Rams) Once we get to number 5 the stats look like this: 167 262 1,845 63.7 7.0 10 8 65 18 84.5   47.5   10 TDs and 8 INTs??? At number 5??? There was a time not that long ago that he wouldn't even be a starter.   
    • I'm not convinced that the NFL is any better or worse at developing QBs now than they were 20 years ago.  I mean I'm sure there are some developmental issues at play, just not sure it is any different than it has been. The biggest difference IMO is that NFL teams are waaaaaaaay more willing to invest a 1st round pick into a QB now than they were 15-20 years ago.  A guy like Colin Kaepernick would probably be a top 5 pick in 2025, whereas he went in the 2nd in 2011.  Would a guy like Trey Lance go top 3 in 2010?  Hell no.  Look at Russell Wilson - he didn't go until the 3rd round.  The standard for being a 1st round QB has dropped. So it may seem like we're seeing more high-profile busts at the position, but we're also seeing teams reach for QBs way more than they have in the past.  Someone with Anthony Richardson's college resume doesn't go in the top 3 20 years ago.
