top dawg

Rhule knows that he won't stay unemployed for long, plus he really doesn't have to work again in life if he so chooses.

The Carolina Appaloosas incoming

This is Tepper's team, and he has let everyone know it by his actions. He has no allegiance to Sam Mills' saying. He wants to put his brand on the team.

Well, they do suck, and I'm not going to say that this hasn't affected my relative disinterest to the draft lead-up, but I've had so many other things to concern myself with this off-season. Truth be told, I'm kinda glad that I haven't been all into it with baited breath because the waiting can drive you crazy. As always, I'll accept what comes, but I'm hoping for a trade down and Corral. I don't predict a damn thing but a good player in the draft.

Tepper probably wanted to do away with it from the first time he set foot in BoA Stadium. Maybe it's a Jerry Richardson thing...I mean, he's pretty much gotten rid of all vestiges of the old regime and this is the cherry on top--his prerogative.

I'm thinking that money is for Duane Brown.

And for the record, I don't know want Jimmy Gee either.

Baker really doesn't want to be here. Even in his latest interview, he mentioned Seattle as a possibility. I hope the "mutual disinterest" thing is real.

The Brand sucks ass (pun intended)!

I don't know, man, anyone that can throw more INTs than Sam Darnold (as well as any other QB) since 2018 has to adjust more than their suck-ass attitude.

Mayfield is not a good QB. If we trade anything hire than a day 3 pick in draft capital for either one of them, I'm going to give up hope on the FO. A 4th is still unacceptable, really, but I'll stomach it if Darnold is gone.

The link didn't work for me. You mean, it's really "The Brand"? Surely you're jesting.

Ahh, you might wanna edit that before it's too late.

Well Bucky Brooks used to be a scout and he says that if Matt Corral gets into the right system, he will "pop at the next level." J.T. O'Sullivan as well as Chris Simms are not scouts, but they have been QBs in the NFL and know more than you or I (and probably even some scouts) about the position, and they also speak highly of Corral's traits. Furthermore, you can poo poo every blogger, ex-coach or GM, scout and plenty of others who know the position if you want, but I know that these people know more than you do about the position. Basically, you're talking out the side of your neck.

I don't know of any scout that has said that. He could be a good value pick on day 3, but he isn't sniffing day 1. He is largely immobile, has concerning problems with pressure, doesn't see ancillary defenders any where near a pro level, and takes some unnecessary risks with the ball.

That's a pretty delusional thing to say considering that plenty of scouts have said that he has elite traits. Moreover, he's played against more NFL-level competition over his career than any of them. I guess you know more than the scouts...

Nobody's saying that, but he doesn't need taxpayers--poor or otherwise--to pay a dime for the construction of his headquarters. Oh, that's right, why should he dig deeper into his pockets when he can just dig into everyone else's to help bankroll his business?

I told him earlier that Corral and Johnny Football are as different as night and day. I don't know how anyone would come up with that assessment after researching Corral even a little. Manziel and Corral come from different worlds. Corral might even need to lighten up a little.

Are you referring to 2019 and 2020? You do realize that he improved just about all aspects of his game every season, especially this past season, including making proper reads. Not to say he was perfect, because he has a little gunslinger in him, but he's smart and coachable.

Mayfield has not been good. Trading anything of significance for him (especially without them paying a good part of his contract) would be going on Darnold bad. The QBs in the draft may ultimately be better than Mayfield. He's a backup level talent. He's thrown more INTs than any QB since he's been in the league (including Darnold). He's another Cleveland Browns' bust.

Sounds to me that people are trying to ding him for his depression. That's your choice, but I'm not going to do it. I see progress and growth.

What about alcohol? He drank. How many college kids drink? He actually stopped abusing it, much like many, when he realized that it may have been causing him some problems. He actually abstained during his senior year in solidarity with Lane Kiffin. This is a nonstarter.
