This should be a lesson that you should always take these media-driven narratives with a grain of salt. The QBs just had too many questions to take them as high as some of these talking-heads were pushing.

Olave has skills, and that's all I'm going to say.

Yeah, it's really not understandable. It's like they're giving Rodgers the double bird--payback for him being the prick that he is.

Go dawgs!

Yes. Three guys in the first so far, with one more to be picked sometime soon.

It's Corral, not Willis.

It wasn't sexy, but it was necessary. We've been bleeding for so many years. Now it's time to heal. What was Gross is now Ickey.

Why is it so seemingly difficult for some to understand that there is something in between disparaging and outright lying? There's no need to lie, and no need to disparage, and that goes for currently rostered players or any player. Sometimes it's better to say too little than too much, and sometimes it's better to say nothing at all.

Perhaps he's been humbled. Maybe...

Hey, I'm still hoping that he earns his money by building a winner. That would be nicer for him and nice for us in the long run.

I believe he was referring to the question about Darnold only...Tepper should've referred to and deferred to the football knowledge of Fitterer an Rhule in reference to the Darnold question.

Hell, Rhule might have the lowest football IQ in the room...If not, I'd bet that he thinks that he has the least to learn.

Yep! That's probably the best thing he could've said.

Regain some value out of a guy that has 54 TDs, 52 interceptions and 29 fumbles in 50 games... You seem to have a hard time understanding nuance. Being financially on the hook for Sam Darnold and being financially committed to him are two separate things. Lastly, if Tepper believes what he's saying, he's not lying. But, if he is lying and everyone knows he's lying, then it is of no strategic value at all, and you need to stop pushing such idiocy.

Not really. At least we now know that apparently Tepper has trust in Fitterer and is optimistic about the new injection of experienced staff. We also know that he is outwardly supportive of Rhule even though he mentioned him as somewhat of an afterthought on a few occasions. We know that Tepper is more patient than many thought, and that perhaps all the rumors of Rhule's seat being sizzling hot were perhaps exaggerated.

No, saying that a QB who has 54 TDs, 52 INTs, and 29 fumbles in 50 games is very good makes me shake my head. Get it right!

I wanted Tepper to speak to get a sense of what he thought about the current state of things and the direction of the franchise. From my perspective, I always thought that it was a little bit counterproductive to give him a fourth year and not a fifth because Rhule could indeed be thinking that he has to draft this way or take that chance, and simply make reckless moves for the short term without any consideration for the long term. I always had trouble reconciling Tepper keeping Rhule this season and allowing him to add so much experienced staff only to chop him off at the knees. Now don't get me wrong; I still believe that Tepper will chop Rhule off at the knees if we continue in 2022 where 2021 left off, but if we show improvement, I can understand why Tepper would keep him another season. That being said, I'm not fond of Rhule's shtick--maybe it's just his personality--and am skeptical about how he's coached thus far (including his handling of personnel). Maybe the veteran additions to his staff will make him better.

He shouldn't have said it because it makes the Panthers appear to be more of a clown show than we already are. It's not rocket science. You can't say someone is a "very good" QB when they have 54 TDs, 52 interceptions and 29 fumbles in 50 games. What you can say is that, "We need to stabilize the position," and we're going to add some competition to that end. That's believable and is "coach-speak", and is even respectable. You say something without appearing to be disingenuous. That's how PR works for those that want to know.

50 games! 54 TDs! 52 INTs! 29 fumbles! Is that action loud enough for you? Oh, the irony.

Who in the fug here said that Tepper should say that Darnold sucks? I'm waiting. It's straw man fallacy at its finest. If you're buying into it, you're as daft as a straw man.

All I can say is, "WOW!!"

It's not a debate if you're not even addressing the point. Furthermore, I'm not debating as much as I'm pointing out the absurdity of Tepper's words when juxtaposed against Darnold's career stats. Finally, I don't dislike Tepper the man or the owner. I'm not in that lot; you're assuming once again. I don't dislike Darnold the man, but I do dislike Darnold the QB based upon observation and his career stats. You and everyone else will know when I don't like Tepper. That time has not come at this point.

You love to hear yourself ramble on about nothing. At this point, you're only entertaining yourself.

Your entire line of posting here is one big straw man. You've intimated that I've said things that I haven't. You've used words like "befuddled" and "upset". Jon Snow had a mature response, and I responded to him in kind. Perhaps you should take a gander...
