Stefan Lefors is a high school football coach. He coached Christian Academy here in Louisville, Kentucky for years and they were very good. He recently moved back home to be with his aging parents, and he coaches at Parkview Baptist High School. Don't know if anyone remembers but his parents are deaf and he was very good at sign language which really helped him as a play caller in loud stadiums. Super great dude, I wish he was coaching in college because I think he'd make a hell of a QB coach.

I think Moore is good, although I'm not quite as high on him yet as other's are, I think he deserves to be in the Top25. As far as being better than Adams, no way. Adams was amazing this year, he's the complete package at WR

In a heartbeat.

Panthers legend Stefon Lefores comes out of retirement!

Should we ask for the Rogers Rate?

His hands aren't perfect. It's one area he needs to improve, but they're not bad either. Compared to our current WRs he's going to drop a similar number of passes, but he'll also haul in many more tough and spectacular catches. He's just not going to be the guy burning the entire defense with pure speed, but double moves and good route running. I think he'd replace Robby aftet his contract expires and be a more dependable option. He's a great security blanket for a QB, and a more physical WR than we have on our roster.

Dez Fitzpatrick was great. He should be a consideration if he's there after day 1, especially if Samuels is gone. We need a "go get it" guy to be the Thunder to Moore's Lightening.

Dodged a bullet IMO. Stafford is a "win now" option. Watson is a way better prospect for us as a Franchise.

Not a fan of trading for Stafford. May be 3 years ago. He's too old, and the cost is likely too high. We're probably 3 years away from a Super Bowl run with good drafts, and that doesn't seem likely if we give up 1st rounders. That'd push us back to 4-5 years where Stafford will be far older and on the last legs of his carrier. Seems like 1 QB mistake after making the initial one.

Guy was fun to watch in college. He can go up and get the ball. Everyone loved Tutu as the big play maker, but Dez was great as well and probably translates better to the NFL.

We need a WR who can do this to compliment Moore.

There is a difference between being hard on a guy to get him to be better and just straight up attacking him. Rhule's a smart guy, and tends to get the best out of people. I think Rhule is sending a message, but also providing motivation more than tearing into Teddy. I don't believe Rhule would create a problem in his own locker room by alienating a player, especially one who has traditionally been liked by his team mates every where he's been.

Fair assessment. Teddy's problem is he's closer to Chad Pennington, so even when he's playing his best his ceiling is lower because of his arm strength. And age catches up to guys like that faster. He can get it done with a good surrounding cast, but he can't carry you.

Fair assessment, but I don't think that's what he meant to do. I mean he always says the right thing. Is he the guy that's said 1,000 "right things" over the past 8 years, or the guy whose said the wrong thing a handful of times? I'd have to go back, I do think he comments on that, but this was about the the time management issue, and not the play itself. He was directly asked and responded about the time management issue.

Faster than mine.

If we don't make a block buster trade for a QB? 2025 If we do make a block buster trade for a QB? 2029

I don't like Mac Jones, I think he's too slow, but to say he doesn't have potential is just pure bias.

God I was so mad when we came back and then stayed. Like 1 year while we search, whatever, but my god how stupid where we?

I think this pretty much sums up what most of the frustration is. If he was getting paid near back up money it'd be fine, but one last Hurney move for the road eh?

You can literally go look at his transcripts and that's not what he has been or said all season. From his last game: Puts it on himself, and says the coaches made the right choice. Coverage was what he expected, and what the coaches expected. Ian Thomas did a good job. The Nickleback made a play. This is after he says above that he didn't get enough velocity on the ball Doesn't blame anyone. Doesn't blame the injuries. Says he has to be better. Whose to blame according to Teddy? Teddy is to blame. No one else. Teddy has to do more. Coaches pulled him, despite him wanting to stay in because he's "a fighter" but was it their fault? No because he couldn't make the pass to DJ Moore. He literally goes through every single guy we like and talks about them having career years and praises them. How he's happy for them, and other guys. He's excited for the future of the organization, and how no one quit.

I think this is a key point here. If you're going to cut a guy, you have to be sure you have a better replacement, and that it saves you money. It also helps to have a backup plan if the replacement gets hurt. With Paradis we: Don't have an equal or better replacement Even if you draft someone there is no assurance they'll be better We don't have anyone behind him at his level We don't have anyone at Guard under contract that he couldn't take over for and be better than under his current contract. Save very little money by cutting him So you lose a lot and gain back very little. Easy to see that cutting him would be the wrong move.

Teddy has never been "the guy" here, even if some of us hoped he could be. The writing on the wall has always been that he was odds on a bridge to the next Franchise QB, likely from the draft. Even Louisville fans will say this, even if most of us really thought he had a chance to do well here. It was fairly obvious he was brought into mentor the next guy, and be a leader on the team in the meantime while taking the hits behind the LOS. And someone needs to explain to me what he was supposed to say. The play call came in late, was he supposed to cover for Joe Brady? Is being honest, without malice, really "throwing him under the bus?" Look I love Joe Brady, I was very excited for him to be here, and still am, but the guy isn't a messiah. It was his first year as a play caller at the NFL level, and he wasn't even the full OC at LSU. The NFL is a faster pace, and Brady struggled at times with play calling and pace. Teddy didn't have a problem with pacing under New Orleans or Minnesota, but he seemed to have a problem with it in Carolina. Some of that is on Brady, but man it's not exactly all on him either. Covid and everything else was horrible for new coaching staffs and players. Teddy wasn't tossing Brady under the bus. He didn't toss coaches under the bus for his first 27 years on planet Earth, and he was always a good team mate. That didn't suddenly change when he put on Carolina blue. If we're going to be mad at Teddy, or anyone, let's make sure we're mad at them for the right reasons, instead of inventing reasons because we're upset with them. This is Cam with the towel on his head all over again.

Don't forget Cam wanted a contract extension, and I think that played a roll in him being shown the door. It made sense to let Cam play out his final season, cutting him was always the wrong move, but extending him was also the wrong move.

What? How old are you? lol. Steve Beuerlein and Jake Delhomme were generally pretty accurate passers. They just weren't Hall of Famers, more like occasional Pro Bowlers in their best years.
