If you can get Jones on the cheap to replace Dalton, then that's fine. At the least he should be starter contention with BY while we look for long term QB, whoever that might be.

Could have not requested an all pro payday and let them spend some cash.

Start 0-3 against KC, Baltimore, and Detroit. All playoff bound teams. Bad start but it can be overcome for a good team. It's still possible to rattle off 10 or 1 1 wins and win the division or wild card. 1-11, even if you finish 5-0, you aren't going anywhere at 6-11. Players know it too and aren't going to put their bodies more at risk like they would if it was playoff contention when it doesn't matter unless it's a contract year. How many times have we said ****** players have quit on <insert> HC? It happens every damn year. It doesn't happen with 10 games left. With 1 or 2, it does happen. It has happened.

I've already explained this. You put the team in a worse position to win as HC or GM. Whether that's putting players on IR who could still play, calling vanilla game plans, or putting in younger guys for PT. Doing it at week 3 is damn near impossible, but if you're 1-11 with 5 games to go and look like ass anyway, yeah, you can mail it in and try to improve/keep your pick. Indy did it for Peyton Manning. Ron tried to do it to not go to the playoffs a 2nd time with a losing record. The Jets failed to do it for Trevor Lawrence. It can be done, just not in week 3.

It's a crazy day on the Huddle when you and I agree on stuff. We need a QB and a NFL superstar who turned himself into a household brand name giving career advice to his star players makes perfect sense. No parent on this board would congratulate their child if they got a GM job at a company that's had 6 GMs in the last 5 years and is losing contracts left and right. They'd tell them that's not a company you want to work for because it's bad for your career. No superstar NBA player asks to be traded to the Hornets because it's a bad long term decision. The Panthers franchise is not a good foundation for building your career and nothing in the entire franchise history says we know how to build around talent.

I lost 150 in 14 months doing ketovore. I never felt better. Would end up going 3-7 days at a time fasting for no reason other than I didn't feel the need to eat. I have a highly physical job and it was no problem, my energy level was through the roof and I was fully restored on 5 hours a night. My Dr thought I was nuts at first but my cholesterol dropped 100 points and my health improved dramatically. You really need to eat nose to tail to do carnivore/ketovore properly. Muscle meat alone won't get you enough nutrients. Back on it again after a long hiatus due to surgery complications. Only thing I really noticed is on workouts my twitch response wasn't as quick but my endurance was much longer.

To run the 3-4, you need a powerful NT that can eat the middle. We don't have that and haven't. If you don't have that type of NT you have no business trying to run 3-4.

What reason would any player want to be drafted to Carolina? This organization is the definition of shitshow run by the worst owner in major league sports. Other than money, and rookies have guaranteed rookie contracts based on where they're picked, why would anyone who is going to definitely going to be drafted, hope to come here? When you're talking about potentially making a quarter billion dollars, Carolina is a poor football decision.

I'm down for Fields as a backup/learn under QB for the right price. Obviously I prefer someone a bit more consistent at the position, but at least we don't have to worry about him breaking a hip running onto the field like Dalton

Because after nearly winning DROY, and he should have realistically, the coaching staff decided to move him out of the position he was dominating. Opposing offenses couldn't neutralize him, so our coaching staff did it for them.

We can't build the dline just like the oline. We don't have the cap space to toss out massive contracts to instantly improve. It's gonna have to be done through the draft and some good FA shopping. Fixing it will take 2 years at least, even if we draft well.

They can 100% influence gamesand it's perfectly legal. They are an entertainment industry no different than WWE. There's only so far they can go due to the players themselves, but refs can absolutely kill drives, make timely bad calls, etc. As long as they don't cost Vegas to lose too much, or make it to obvious no one will say a thing.

It's an entertainment league. The refs can have bias because having tech make obvious calls like ball placement would make steering the story too difficult.

Gonna have to draft Higgins a new hamstring if we got him. Dude always has soft tissue injuries it seems.

In some aspects it might be. Take away classes, life on campus, limited practice time and lesser players and certain parts of the game might be easier. Not to say that they all are by any stretch, but I could see a couple things being easier to deal with than at the college level.

At this point, you have to worry about developing the other guys as well. Can't just worry about is Young gonna be the guy. If he regresses and Dalton is the better option, you go with the Red Rifle.

Probably as crazy as you think. I'd guess it was done for around a million, maybe a little more. I know what I pay for sod and a bulk order like that would definitely get discounted. The removal of the old and prep of the sublayer would be the biggest costs

Probably has to do with the weather and/or health of the turf. Cold weather bluegrass starts shifting towards dormancy so by bringing in from another location that hasn't been affected yet, they could get better turf health and durability.

Here's how you do it. 2020 The Washington FT is poised to win the NFC East with a losing record (would be Rivera's 2nd time as a HC) and won't go far if anywhere in the post season. Poised to play the Panthers, Dwayne Haskins is named starter and proceeds to crap the bed in the 1st half, so much so the announcers are saying if Rivera wants to have a chance at winning, he has to be benched. He's played into the 4th qtr before being benched for Heinicke who almost leads the comeback. So close but not quite. Haskins is cut Monday. The following week the winner of the Philly/wash game wins the division and heads to the playoffs. The game was a comedy of wtf calls by coaches. I remember watching the game thinking neither of them wanted to win. Pederson ends up tanking worse than Rivera and Washington heads to the playoffs for a 1 and done. While not a 8 or 9 game tank-a-thon, that's how you do it, or at least attempt to. Haskins was playing so badly that any coach with serious hopes of making the playoffs was not naming him starter. The team was put in such a bad position that winning was highly unlikely.

If the FO had half a brain and actually watched tape vs a 15 minute play breakdown at the dinner table, the pick would have been Stroud and the 2nd pick would have been Young. The team itself doesn't tank. The FO and the HC cause the team to tank by who they play. You can't ask the players to not play, they're not going to do that. But the HC and FO can put them in a bad position to win by deciding not to play guys with nagging injuries or by playing younger guys who they need to see what they've got, or by calling a mediocre game plan. It's been attempted before. Most recent memory would be Rivera with Wash/Car and Wash/Philly. They ended up winning the 2nd, their division with a losing record only to be bounced out of the playoffs. It cost them about a dozen spots in draft position.

I've already got $500 he throws for under 125.

That and so many top tier WRs have had major injuries.

It's been working pretty damn well.

The fact the Bears have never had a 4k yard passer says a lot about their development of QBs as a franchise. Williams always had potential, but was also the riskiest QB pick. Daniels always made more sense from a QB maturity standpoint. Chicago is where QBs go to watch their career die.

This team has never had back to back winning seasons. We've never experienced sustained success or a winning culture in Carolina.
