top dawg

I'd just like to add that we have hardly even seen Corral. It's certainly not being analytical in the slightest to judge Corral based on what doesnt even amount to a full preseason game. It's ludicrous, but yet we have some people here doing that.

Honestly, I think Georgia was off. I don't believe that Stroud would fare so well if he had to play them again. That being said, he had a great game---probably his best ever.

He's retiring, until he's not.

Who really cares about this? Why should anyone but Tepper care about this? All the manufactured outrage is hilarious. And if it's not manufactured, it's still hilarious. Get a grip!

Tepper just needs to give the guy his money and let him go away. He hired him, and he decided that it was a good idea to give Rhule that contract. Just pay the man and let the franchise move on without that distraction.

I mean, I can't get excited over his overall record. He was also key in the decision-making and personnel also, so I can't give him a complete pass on that. I told someone in another thread last week that from where I'm sitting Reich has a lot to prove, and I believe that. His record doesn't exactly scream "success" to me. As far as that goes, he's closer to Fox and Rivera than Harbaugh.

I don't get what you mean by moving the goalposts, I've been consistent about Reich from the beginning. He'll get respect as the coach, as I've always given the coach time to do his thing before calling for his head. I'm more patient than most. He'll get his two years from me, unless he outright bombs out of the gate. Admittedly, I may appear more critical on a curve, because it's not like Reich doesn't have a body of work. He's also arguably coming into a situation that is decidedly better than when Rivera or Rhule took over the show. He certainly has more exoerience, and as such I believe that expectations should be somewhat higher coming out the gate. Harbaugh. When it became obvious pretty early that we weren't getting him, I decided that I'd personally like one of these "young offensive minds" that had been mentioned like Johnson, Steichen, or Kafka. Even though he was an OC, I could've been sold on Demeco also. BTW, the disparity is playoff wins/losses.

I been told you that (grammar purposeful)!

Yeah, I'd rather have Richardson on day 3 than Hooker on day 4... You get my drift?

Yeah, he probably hasn't done player evaluations inasmuch as it relates directly to the Panthers, but I kind off have a hard time believing that he hasn't scouted Darnold or Corral before.

When we start winning against the better teams of the league on a consistent basis, then I'll be excited.

Nah, that's not the standard. I've watched plenty enough football to know that for sure.

Asking about your current QB room is anything but fluff. We don't know what they think of draft prospects, much less whether we can actually maneuver to get a prospect. We also don't know if we'll be able to land a QB in FA that would be worth it. Y'all need to stop acting like asking about our QB room or any QB that might be available is "fluff." It's not.

A can of soup...? LOL

He might not be ready ever. Let's not forget that.

Reich is established and all that. Sure! But until he wins the big one, I don't see him as having that much more success than lots of coaches who have never won it, Ron Rivera and John Fox included. Once he actually gets to and wins a Super Bowl as the HC, then I'll give him some props for being "successful," but he at least has to get to one. I mean he's 41-35. Whoopdy frickin doo! I hope that he's way better than during his next five years (assuming he makes it that long).

Looking at the last couple of pressers, I'd like to give Tepper the Grumpy Old Owner Award. He just has an undercurrent of always being pissed off at the Panthers presser.

You haters can say what you want, but pertaining to QB, he could have easily been talking about Lamar Jackson...

He didn't sidestep it, he just forgot to answer it because he was too busy waxing on about the first part.

Yeah. It may matter what's stuffed inside the suitcase, but to me it's more important how you use what you've packed, because everyone's packing something similar.

He did intimate that a running QB who can pass from the pocket is preferable. Running is preferable to passing, but you need to have those chunk plays down field. It's standard fare that makes sense. He hedged on whether he'll call plays. It will likely depend upon the OC. I don't think we'll get any big names out there, and "bye-bye McAdoo," it seems.

The only thing that we really learned is that Fitterer will indeed have roster control. The rest was the usual blah blah blah.

The dramatic music was a bit much.

I wish that he had actually answered the question about QBs.
