Mr. Scot

I was thinking of somewhere down the road...

Nope

Same here... I'd be willing to wager that's most of us...

Multiple journalists who were actually at the practice say the receivers had a bad day... Random fan who was nowhere near the practice and had no access to it says the coach is just coddling the quarterback... Who to believe...

"About" to be indicted...

Yeah...got me

Are we sure he's really new?

I guess that's one way of looking at it

Well, at least we're not overreacting to a preseason game, right?

Season or offseason?

Speaking of left tackle options, I know some folks wanted Teven Jenkins in the draft, but it's not going too well for him so far in Chicago.

If I have to live with knowing this, so do you

That'd be kind of pathetic. Honestly, I always like to think people aren't genuinely dumb enough to believe some of the stupid sh-t that they post on here, but some folks make you wonder.

Took a look back at the original Draft Day trade that netted Greg Little just to see how it shook out... The Panthers obtained the #37 pick that was used to draft Little by trading the #47 and #77 picks to the Seattle Seahawks. With the 47th pick, the Seahawks took defensive back Marquise Blair. Looked him up and reports are that he's having a good camp after being lost to injury last year. Seattle apparently plans to have him as their starting nickel corner. The Seahawks didn't stand pat with the #77 pick though. They wound up trading it along with their fourth rounder (#118) to the Patriots for pick #64. Then with the 64th pick, the Seahawks selected wide receiver DK Metcalf. A little bit thereafter, the Patriots spent the 77th pick on defensive end Chase Winovich. Twenty three spots later, the Panthers selected quarterback Will Grier. ... Probably also worth remembering that the Seattle front office at the time included current Panthers GM Scott Fitterer.

Not that kind of conditional... We get a seventh round pick either way. The "condition" is that since they have two seventh rounders, we get whichever one winds up being higher. Basically, we can't lose. Truthfully, that just makes the deal that Fitterer negotiated even more impressive.

If you ask him, he's better than Brady.

Josh Rosen was apparently complaining about not getting enough opportunities. What he lacks in brains, he makes up for in self confidence for sure.

Same with Larkin...

It happens. No offense to Dan, but I'm kinda hoping it doesn't happen here.

I'd be pretty happy about that. It'd really suck ass if he got a GM job next year because he wasn't here for the meaty part of our offseason. We'll only have had him for basically part of one year. But sad to say, that's a possibility.

Scott Fitterer is getting plenty of praise for the job he's doing right now - and he probably deserves it - but let's not forget one of his coworkers is working behind the scenes as well. Dan Morgan wasn't around for the draft or the bigger part or our free agency moves (he came aboard in May) but you can bet he's in the mix for any and all evaluations that are being done now. My expectation next season is that Morgan will have a big voice in free agency since his background is predominantly in the pro personnel department while Fitterer is a longtime college scout. Mind you, that's assuming he doesn't get a GM job before that. And while I certainly don't begrudge him career advancement, I'd really like to keep him around for a while so here's hoping that particular promotion is still a year or two away.

It might be. I have as many positive feelings as anyone at this point, but realistically we still haven't made it out of the offseason yet. There's a lot we don't know about Fitterer thus far. We'll really see how the team he helped put together looks when the bullets start flying. Same with Rhule for that matter. Lots of coaches look good their rookie season but not so much afterward. He's still at least something of an unknown till we see more.

He wasn't making the team.

That was confirmed by a couple of our resident insiders.

Yeah, Rhule confirmed that Pride's ACL was torn. He's not coming back this season. Honestly, might be an uphill battle for him to come back at all.
