  1. a better title for this would be "the rarity of players drafted in the 2 nd and 3rd round by the carolina panthers earning a second contract with the team." not saying that's good. just a more accurate reflection of hurney drafting in the 2nd and 3rd round.
  2. this is walterfootball so I think it's more connecting dots than any actual sourcing i think with Darnold coming off the situation in new york they're going to err on the side of having too many options, and hedging against injury.
  3. i think rolling the dice on him was fine. no one has any idea who's going to hit and grier had a good enough body of work that it was justified at where he was. you never know which guys are going to figure it out and which guys are, like grier apparently, just not good enough at seeing it. maybe not in the third but hurney always drafted players a round too early. if he could have drafted his first rounders the day before he would have.
  4. or he just understands the game is too fast kinda appreciate the self honesty to be honest a long time ago I drew John Isner in a statewide tournament in the 2nd round. I was much lower ranked than him and he was pretty well known for how good he was. He was doing national tournaments then. I was probably 12 or 13. I had a big serve, especially for someone my age, and I'd never seen someone my age hit it back harder than I put it in. But it was his serve that blew my mind. I'll never forget I went to chip his serve early in the match, and there was so much spin on it, it knocked my racquet out of my hand. He beat me that day like 0-1. that was when i kinda realized i needed a plan b because guys like that were playing a different game.
  5. you gotta wonder what that's like when players get up to the pros and realize that they just don't belong more power to him. hang out for a few years, live the life, get some stories, then fug off and figure out what you want to do.
  6. Jake Delhomme after the TD pass to Moose in the Super Bowl "I'm a bad motherfuger!"
  7. I think 50/50 is pretty generous. Just not sure he can hold up.
  8. oh i just watched it i'd throw money to get her off the stage
  9. CMC needs to get his nose out of her ass and into a playbook
  10. yeah i generally don't give much credence to impressions based on the rantings of the mentally ill. Also "back to the playoffs in 2018?" bitch they went in 2017
  11. This place was absolutely not optimistic this time last year
  12. are you generally optimistic about this season? the way the team is trending? How the leadership seems to be shaping up? place seems pretty hopeful. I'm not here to poo on things, I'm genuinely curious. I'm pretty confident with the direction of the team in general, and the defense in particular, but I think our offense is gonna kinda suck again. I don't think it's like 2016, where we all just assumed we'd compete for a super bowl again. But this feels like....pre 2013 ish. Lots of good young players, lots of reasons to be excited, stars on both sides of the ball etc. Obviously no Cam, that's a big one, but lots of reasons to be excited.
  13. Great, addicted to heroin just like Rashard Anderson.
  14. yeah i could make it ten days i meant more his post concussion problems were pretty severe.
  15. Dan's turnaround is pretty impressive. He was in a pretty bad state when he retired from football. There were some sad stories floating around about him.
  16. scouts have been saying for years they didn't understand why Notre Dame didn't throw to him more often. Most likely because it's Notre Dame and you Have To Play The Right Way At Notre Dame and That Means NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL or whatever dumb bullshit when you get stuck in a role it's hard to break out of it.
