Maybe not on here, well there are a few, but every talking head out there is a doubter.

Me and SF been co Presidents of his fan club since the draft though. There is still nobody in the world who can explain why he went from a sure fire first rounder to the fifth round. All i hear is well his numbers dropped off. Not by that much, and the offense around him was completely poached in the draft going into his final year. There is absolutely no reason he should have gone in the fifth round but im glad he did.

Me too. We need an oline and a HC too though. I think we are one year away from actually contending. Man where have i heard that before. Let the new owner get involved and let’s actually spend some money this off season- plus one more draft. I too believe we have our quarterback- 2024 is the year. Hopefully this year Sam proves himself, Chase rebounds and we are very competitive.

Strengths:

QB
WR's
RB's (love Rodriguez, he'll surprise)
DL/DE
Secondary (CB's and Safeties)
P

Weakness:

OL (will be much better than last year, just inexperienced)
LB Davis, Barton Hudson are solid, after that no depth
K don't trust Slye

I think Badgley is going to beat him out. They are crazy if they keep Slye.

I'd hold off on saying QB is a strength , lets see what SH does the first few weeks. I'm no longer drinking that kool-aid

Don’t let your fears get inside you Okie. Lol. Sam is the man. Snyder is gone. We got a solid quarterback. You are going to finally see this team not be a total laughingstock!

Nope, he’ll make a believer out of you and others.

I'm in agreement w/ all of this. I felt that Sam should have played earlier last year and Ron should have never signed Wentz. We would have been fine w/ Heinicke, Sam and another vet.

But this is basically his first year playing. He is going to have some rough patches.

Happy to see Howell named the starter! Really excited to see what he can bring to the table. His numbers regressed some his final year of college leading to him being a later rd pick other than the projected 1st. His last year at UNC saw him lose Brown and a lot of his oline. Kid has talent. He ran for 828 yds his last year at UNC. Clearly he has wheels too. He will do great if the oline does their job.
