QB or RB.....

Image

So many MUCH bigger needs. OL, CB, S, even WR could use a speed guy and who knows who we'll have at DE next year. Cam isn't playing great but a good chunk of that is getting sacked 7-8 times. Serviceable RBs can be had in the 6th or later, or even off the couch a la Fozzy. It all starts at the line, which is something you'd think we'd have already addressed given Gettleman's love of the Hog Mollies.

I think our first pick has to be an OL. If we wanted to grab a RB, there should be really solid talent left in the second round and beyond like the last couple years. Even then I'd rather have another OL or a DB. A speedy receiver is a must get over the offseason.

RB is the last position we need. OL and DE.

It could have been because the eagles didn't care, or sheer luck, but I can't help but notice that the second we actually tried throwing the ball down the f@king field we started to get offensive results. I wish we had someone with balls calling plays on offense.

God damn we need CB's and a new O-Line. We allowed 9 sacks tonight! 9! How the hell do you allow 9 sacks in a game??? I mean really? Every time Cam dropped back there was pressure....

And moreover, we need some help in our secondary. Roman Harper is complete trash. Why the hell we signed a safety who is only good for run support in FA when we lacked deep ball protection is a loss to me....

We have significant needs at OL, RB, WR, CB, and DE (barring hardy- who we can't afford anyways).......

I turned off the game after the punt return touchdown in the first quarter. It was the quickest I ever turned off a Panthers game since 2010.

What an embarrassment.


On a positive note, I needed 15 points from Cam in my ultra competitve fantasy football league, and I thought I lost the matchup after I turned the game off. I just now saw that I won! So theres silver lining on something.

I wish you could start Defense in flex spots, as I have both the Eagles D and the Cardinals D.....

My Team:
QB1 Cam Newton (**** me)
QB2 Kyle Orton (Soon to be QB1)
HB1 Demarco Murray
HB2 MCcoy
WR1 Maclin
WR2 Sanu (usually Y.T Hilton)
TE Antonio Gates
Flex Bradshaw\Lafell\Torrey Smith
D\ST Cards\Eagles
K Stephen Gostkowski

If I had better QB play I would be dominating my league right now....
