Who’s out here predicting Cousins finally starts to look legit only to be out for the season a week later? The bengals slow start, the ravens bringing the torch to the NFL, the BRONCOS BEAT THE CHIEFS, what the hell is even happening? I got a whole ass two things right: The Lions knew what they were creating, And CJ was HIM. Oh and the chiefs are still good and Myles Garret is making a run at DPOY. Everything else is fucked.

He doesn't get enough recognition for being a really solid qb.

[@weregretohio7728]

Yes, one of the most predictable things this season was the Giants being sunk by that Danny Derps deal. Worst outcome for them, overachieving in 2022. And yet someone still tried debating with me that the Giants were supposed to be good.

[@DD-sr9xm]

What? They won 2 super bowls with Reese as GM? Gettleman was a disaster but Reese was good. Blame it all on the Maras if anyone.

[@zackhurwitz9441]

Gettleman literally drafted everyone from their playoff team last year. Thibs looks good, but he and Evan Neal were Schoen's picks. Gettleman drafted Barkley, Lawrence, Andrew Thomas and yes, Danny Downs. 3 out of 4 being all pro caliber players on their rookie deals isn't bad.

What amazes me, as a Panthers fan, is just how badly we have regressed. We were 12th in rushing last year, 8th (by szn end) in O line, 12th in defense and 29th in pass attempts. It should have been an ideal situation to throw a rookie into and start cooking. Now we are 29th in rushing, 21st defense, 28th or 29th O line and 4th in overall pass rate. I think the scheme changes have to be the biggest reason for the sudden decline, but damn does it suck.

Be careful announcing greatness too soon. Like CJ Stroud, Mac Jones had only 4 losses and 4 games of over a 100 passer rating through week 9 of his rookie season, with both having a majority of their games with a QBR over 50. Jones went 10-7 as a rookie but hasn't had a winning record since, and his completion percentage and TD/INT ratio has dropped each year since.

[@weregretohio7728]

As long as they all continue to develop. I'm allergic to rookie hype... teams adapt, and then people are left wondering why their stars aren't Supermen.
