Buffalo Boy

I'm not embarrassed to feel last years was a waste and putting C.Jones in with a month to go would have been prudent. I'm not embarrassed to admit to not liking the Orton pick because it assured us of mediocrity. I'm embarrassed that every year a ridiculous amount of posters on here suggest " statistically we still have a chance" when it's all over but the shouting.

Good for EJ. Loved the guy not the skill set. He did give me the comeback win over Carolina on my birthday four years ago so we're good.

First number that hit my brain = 6.

This sort of reminds me of Ryan Mallet who was also a meat heat with a heck of an arm. NE took him in the third but a meat heat is a meathead. Kelly is a meathead and his meatheadedness will keep him from becoming anything special. How many times do we have to see this story repeated before we know the ending?

In 2015 he had a brutal camp. Everyone( fans) wanted him gone but the Panthers had no option after losing K. Benjamin. During that season he came through. The Panthers O featured a lot of deeper routes. My recollection is him catching deep digs where he found holes in zones, flys and deep crossing routes. Yes, he did go after the ball but Cam often throws high so receivers have to. The whole team that year had " IT", until the SB. Last year he did nothing which is how he is thought of here. He couldn't catch a cold. Without checking I bet he caught only half the balls thrown his way, some of that is on Cam but No one here is unhappy or even cares that he is gone. Tolbert is a character guy so I get that signing, not this one though.

Watched him down here also, Philly, then Corey( changed his name to change his luck) then Philly again. Has good hands.... till he doesn't. It's not a question of who he replaces, he doesn't make us better. He is NO Woods. This is not a good pickup.

This is a bad joke, right??? I just listened to the guys on Charlotte sports talk WFNZ saluting D. Gettlemen for finally giving up hope on the P.Brown experiment. 😳🙁😵

Couldn't agree more. However, when we are 3-8 there will be threads swearing up and down we still have a chance😳 I don't see a long term plan. I see McD thinking he has the coaching acumen to do it but not sure I'm buying what he's selling.

Nickname in Carolina his last year was " Lafail".

Watched here with Panthers . A few years ago he was great in short yardage. Has seemed to slow down considerably. Has very good hands for a guy his size. I Don't hate this if we get him cheap. Can blitz pick up

Apparently, those of us who don't like this are dumb for thinking his inability to produce in clutch time is a problem. The D sucked? YES!!! The D is not going to be that much better this year due to it being new; It will take half a season minimum(!!!) for the players to be comfortable, probably more. Also, we have some serious holes on that side of the ball. Head coaches have a learning curve too. R.Rivera took four years to figure it out . MickeyD is not coming in here a finished product. IMO ten is too high to draft whoever is left but unfortunately the QBs get over valued every year. I'd like to trade back and get more pick and get a QB later in the first but don't see them doing this.

HATE, HATE,HATE this!!!! If they don't draft a QB this year, which they shouldn't at 10, they will finish too high next year to get one. I know many hate to hear it but this year is a rebuilding year. New O, new D and new ST means we aren't doing jack. Might as well bite the bullet BUT NOOOO ," Lets bring TT back. He gives us a chance to win. " He doesn't give us a chance to win anything worthwhile!!!! New HC just screwed himself and us for a few more years.

Dimestore Sammy Watkins of the safety realm. Attitude and health issues. Get him close to vet. Minimum but if you drop 3-4 million on him he doesn't start all the games this season. Not even close.

This!!!

Regarding Bledsoe, he SUCKED his last year here. The receivers were relegated to running short dig routes because he couldn't hit anything else. We are not going to the SB with TT and KW is never going to see a SB here and probably not a playoff. I've watched McDermott here ( Carolina) since he started and I don't hate him but his defenses aren't all that. This is a rebuilding year and I'd rather see a young QB learn on the fly than Orton or Taylor keep us mediocre.

Who are our D linemen? Not exactly an impressive group. K.Williams, is he coming back for year 12 and is he effective? What do they get out of Dareus? Where does our rush come from?

So, seeing a QB that has demonstrated an inability to : read defenses. See open receivers Come from behind or even offer any semblance of hope that we could, in pressure situations Is stupidity. Jumping to the immediate conclusion that a team with a defense in transition and a new coaching staff is tanking because they might agree with the above observations? And ,being CERTAIN that starting Cardale assures the offense no production is smart? I guess those of us who realized the season was over 8 games in last year were also stupid? How about 11 games in when we weren't buying the" We can still make the playoffs." Threads? Man, I wish I could be that smart😜

I want a QB who I legitimately think gives us a shot at scoring every time he is on the field. Funny how you can think TT gives us a shot and in the same breath assure us that Jones never can.

We were told a lot of things such as we are " going to build s bully" and Rex though TT was the second coming. How'd those turn out for us?

Brady is a perfect example as ostensibly the greatest NFL coach ever( debatable, I know) didn't even know what he had. I'm not suggesting Cardale is going to be great but we dimply don't know and he clearly demonstrated the " it" factor at times this Pres season. Also, Brees was bad I. His second and third seasons. Bad!!! He had to play through it to figure the game out.

Here's a little story about a " project". EJ starting 10 games in 2013 and winning 4. Jones is at least on par with that, How about Brady sitting behind Bledsoe? Belicheat would have started him that season if he knew but he didn't. They drafted Rivers after Brees sucked for three years..... but look what he became. You don't know sometimes until you do

We were told a lot of things......😳

May I point out C.Jones started late in the third quarter of an, already lost game on a team that had mailed it in. I'm not saying he looked good but basing your perception of him on : - That game - The opinion of the previous coaching staff ,is silly. I don't know who he is or can be but I think his ceiling is much higher than TT and on the job training is how the starters in this league learn.
