We can just agree to disagree on this one, but that’s ok as well. Hopefully he shocks the world and stay healthy this year to make it easier for Corral.

He seem to work all out year round, trying to play through injuries etc. Not sure how you think he’s checked out?

Sounds like Ayton and the Suns are not in a good place. What would it take to get him and would he be worth a max contract? I watch mostly Hornets games and haven’t seen him play this year.

Are the rookies taking part in this as they are signed and just had their rookie minicamp or is there a reason they are not? I can’t remember

Would be great for Melo and his development. Not sure about the D. https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/mike-dantoni-in-strong-position-to-land-hornets-head-coaching-job-per-report/

I would like to see another QB that is there to be a 100% mentor and backup, and not compete with Corral. A Josh McCown type. Cam would most likely be the starter if he comes in, he’s too good to just be a mentor. The reason is that I want to see Corral play, and play a lot this year so we know what we have before next years draft. I still like the idea of Foles. He’s used to that role.

Love this from the Observer; “The Ben McAdoo effect It’s impossible not to notice new offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo at Panthers practice. His enthralling presence has nothing to do with his new hairstyle or taller-in-person statue. Rather, the 44-year-old former Giants head coach simply commands his offense. He’s respectfully loud, effectively holding players’ attention when speaking. He wastes no time. Each drill and every play has a clearly defined purpose. It’s only Day 1 of rookie minicamp, but the Panthers offense is already marinating in his influence.” Do we have a real OC? Sure feels like it. I know it’s day one, but feels like we are getting some good pieces in place.

No worries. But that is what makes it really interesting. Who will pick up the new offense quicker?

Does he really know the new offense though, that’s the question.

Btw, this was a response to the short term options for a training facility. The budget is already set. Doesn’t say long term projects will be discussed.

I agree with this. Grier, Mond etc. just weren’t that good and was picked in the third round accordingly. Corral land Mills had talent to be taken earlier but had other potential issues that made them go later. If those issues show to be issues no longer, the potential is absolutely there. Big difference.

The first preseason game will be awesome this year, new o-line and Corral. Might be the one with the highest attendance

I guess I shouldn’t be, but I’m surprised by people not wanting to start Ickey at LT. After searching for a starter for many many years we finally draft one, he was in consideration for first pick overall, and then we should not start him because he played in the ACC? Holy moly people.

Someone else posted this in another thread, but I’m can’t remember where. Darnold seemed to struggle picking up the playbook in his first year, they had to limit it in his first couple of starts. This is a new playbook so he only has a slight head start. What if Corral picks it up really quick? The other players will notice. Then how can you not start Corral?

From purely looking at the draft it seems like the Panthers org worked perfectly. The GM was in charge, but solicited input, and had discussions, with the HC and all of his leaders. The owner probed and pushed them to make sure their reasoning was sound and logic, thinking about the long term of the org. The owner also meet independently with Corral so he could sign off on his perceived off field issues in case he was picked. So for a span of three days we had a very high functioning organization. Very much something to continue to build on and I really think Tepper has developed a lot of trust in Fitt, so I’m very optimistic moving forward. Not a fan of Matt, but I really like all of the new coaching additions.

I liked Fitterers comment about “you can recoup a 3rd rounder, but not a one or two”. Good insight into how he measured the investment.

Agreed, based on the day 1 WR trades, I could see Robby to a WR starved team. Not expecting it, but I wouldn’t be shocked

Brinson put out his final mock this morning and it is perfection for us. Trading back with the Jets to get our 2nd rounder back and we still get Neal at pick 10. Would blow my mind. Jets is an interesting trade back partner that I hadn’t thought about as much before. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2022-nfl-mock-draft-3-0-jets-trade-up-to-select-first-wide-receiver-derek-stingley-jr-soars-up-draft-board/

It does work if people are secure enough in themselves and can put their ego side

I apologize for getting back in topic here but there was a update in a nfl.com video and apparently there was one team that had some follow up questions about Neal, but no other teams. So what was said by Walter was not wrong but slightly exaggerated. Seems to be a none issue though.

Agree with this. It is the same as all other testing. A bad or good score will make you go back to make sure you didn’t miss anything in your evaluation. It is not a definite one way or the other. If I saw this score from Pickett I would really make sure he is football smart. Or does he need five years to learn a new system? It would be stupid to just dismiss this, but one should instead verify to make sure it isn’t an issue.

I was laughing so hard at this, well done!

Not sure that it is, he is really young.

I personally find Kiper very entertaining. He works extremely hard, seems like a good guy, has a lot of passion etc. Is he wrong a lot? Yes for sure, but so is every other “expert”.
