I don’t know why the tanking concept is not understood. Coaches and players are not involved at all. It’s always the front office. If we had actually traded players like we should have back in 2022, we would have effectively tanked and gotten a better pick than 9 so we lost all the draft picks to get Young. We traded CMC. We should have traded Burns for the haul and taken GB’s offer of a 1st for Moore. We could have easily traded anyone else. We see it in every sport, every year. Trade deadlines where bad teams give up current assets for future assets. Unfortunately, we were stupid and decided we only wanted to trade CMC for peanuts even though we clearly had a plan to go after Young. We were dumb and there is no way you can tell me that we shouldn’t have tanked via trading away Burns, Moore and anyone else. We’d be a much better team right now had we had a fire sale and tanked the 2022 season. Trading away your top players for future draft picks or prospects (baseball) is tanking. Shoeless Joe and the black Sox is not tanking. That’s point shaving/betting on your sport/team. Again, I just don’t get why this concept is so hard to get when MLB, NFL and NBA teams trade players for future assets every single year and usually end up with better draft slots (or at least odds since Hornets never win the lottery).

I easily believe the lottery is rigged. Dallas trades Luka to the Lakers to keep an aging Lakers relevant and surprise, beats the 1.8% odds. San Antonio has to be one of the luckiest stories and of course they got a big man after their history of big men (Robinson and Duncan). Cleveland gets LeBron. Sucks yet again for the Hornets losing ground on the odds to miss out on Flagg and even the easy top 3.

We still need a proven commodity at FS in my opinion. Toss em a couple shekels and let's go

There have been other lines assembled in NFL history every bit as good as what the Eagles, but very few have had a RB perform like Barkley. Barkley was a threat to put 6 on the board every time he touched the ball. An RB touches the ball 20+ times a game. It changes the entire complexion of the game. 3rd downs are easier, drives are extended, defense stays rested and opponents play from behind all game. Barkley and that line is what got them there. Defense is the icing. Let the defense play 40 minutes and see how good they look. Hurts tried his best to give us the game last season. I can’t drink his cool aide.

Yes, but he's a run stuffing edge. Which is something we've been lacking for while. I'm just saying the combo of him and derrick brown is going to be a lot for offenses to account for in the run game.

This is incredible lmfaoooooooooo

He ran behind the best offensive line in the league, largely the same one that paved the way for Miles Sanders to run for 1300 yards and 11 TDs.

networks want ratings. chiefs bring ratings w/ pat, kelce (tay tay)

Still it’s unfair, the massive markets will be able to spend way more than teams like the Hornets. Lakers, Celtics, etc. have a huge advantage

the chiefs are getting some exposure this season. Brazil game, and both Thanksgiving and Christmas?

My head is spinning from a lifetime of, "If you see somebody jump off of a bridge does that mean you should do it too?" to the current, "I'M ABOUT TO SWANTON BOMB A VEHICLE ON THE INTERSTATE BELOW, LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE FOR EARLY ACCESS TO MY NEW MEMECOIN!"

You're dreaming. All 3 of those qb's need a complete team. Allen and Burrow cannot get their teams over the hump by themselves as has been proven. So this is a fantasy that every fan clings to. "If we only had this guy or that guy we would be SB contenders", it takes more than just a top 5 qb to be a contender. It always has.

On NFL tanking, I've been saying this for years: There's too much at stake from management to coaching to players for tanking to happen. And if a team were actually caught doing it, like an actual conspiracy, then we're talking Shoeless Joe levels of condemnation. Excuse me, what's that? They've now forgiven Shoeless Joe? What about Charlie Hustle? Him, too? Hmmm. We're living in a post-ethics world aren't we? $400 million jet from the Qatari royal family? I guess this is the new norm.

You make some very good points, I concede.

I think it will come back but to be honest, it probably can't be every year. Eventually it will lead to injuries and then questions will arise. As a Canes fan, I would have been FURIOUS had any of our guys gotten knocked out for the season and jeopardized our Cup chances. I care absolutely nothing about the US winning that tournament in comparison to the Canes winning the Cup. One is neat, the other is why I am a season ticket holder.

For Bale to get involved it must have some potential.

Scourton is an OLB / edge in the Panthers 3-4 scheme.

Think they are set at safety unless someone gets cut that Evero is familiar with and thinks would be an upgrade.

Holy smokes, glad to see Cage getting to pair up with a great actor like Bale. Cage is hit and miss but when he's dialed in, he's incredible, imo. Here's to Bale being there zones Cage into another great performance. If you haven't seen bad lieutenant: port of call New Orleans directed by Warner Herzog (Cage is the main actor), watch it. One of my favorites. Be warned, its not for kids.

The blunt this casting director was on must have been immaculate

I'm a hockey casual and really on tune in to watch the Canes during the playoffs. But I was HOOKED on the Four Nations Tourney. We need more of that!

They'll grab Justin Simmons, who it doesn't seem like we're in the market for anyway.
