Art Schlicter came into the league with so much fanfare but, alas, he was JAOSQ... just another Ohio State quarterback.

Further, ‘Appaloosa’ is a brand that Tepper does not want tarnished, either. No single player will be allowed to potentially wreck the image of either brand. Even if Watson is all that the OP believes he is and a bag of chips, it just doesn’t make business sense from a risk / reward standpoint. The boards and investment committees of pension and retirement plans managed by Appaloosa would be up Tepper’s arse if the Panthers acquired a ‘known abuser of women.’ Will not be a surprise to many but boards are hyper political and cowardly. For better or worse, the Watson ship has sailed and won’t be returning.

I’m thankful you are not running the risk management function in my company.

He’s radioactive and Tepper will not risk the the team’s or his own professional reputation. Chernobyl can be bought cheap, too. Is that a bargain?

... and younger and more cap friendly.

Perhaps not starting game one, but by end of this season, hell yah! Do it Rhule.

I think I dated her in high school...

... and fiber. Don't forget the fiber.

Wise you are in the ways of the Force

0-4. I have been assured by the Huddle's leading lights that we should tank all the games and go for the number one pick next draft. I'm sure Rhule won't make the same mistake twice.

The quality of articles submitted by guest writers declined markedly in the 80's. I mean, that's what I've heard...

Mrs Nbrs reminds me from time to time that my mind is writing checks that my body can’t cash... [sigh]

Someone once said that, “youth is wasted on the young”. I’m not so sure...

"What did we ever do to you?"

Most folks use a backflow preventer to insure that doesn't happen. About $300 on Amazon.

Please, no!

He's not human. He is an X-Man, with the super power to fall on defensive linemen and crush them.

Winston is in a similar situation as Darnold. We’ll see how much of their previous performance problems were coaching and the supporting players around them and how much they ‘own’ themselves. Will be interesting to revisit this at the end of the upcoming season.

So, how much of Wilson’s success was Wilson and how much was Christensen protecting his blind side and giving him a clean pocket to operate from? Is he better than consensus and his draft position would suggest? Can’t recall many third round rookie LT starting week 1.

Had the same thought but I think on a comparative basis, we’ve improved our roster more than the Falcons did this offseason. Will be interesting to see if our W/L record improves more than the Falcons. Rubber meet road.

I think that’s a conversation you have with the player’s agent sometime between the draft and when he signs his contract.

From the root word ‘moderation’, apparently a term you’re not familiar with.

It’s called optimism. Like Cicada, it emerges from hibernation every year around draft time, but only lives until game three of the regular season when reality kills it. They’re harmless.

For the OP, that is an amazing crystal ball you have there. What are your calls on cattle futures, EM debt, real yields and USD?
