Mr. Scot

College friend of mine went to high school with an unfortunate kid named Dick Wacker. (don't know what his parents were thinking)

I think the Carolina braintrust isn't made up of the same people as last year. But on that front, did they stick with Bridgewater to try to keep from looking bad or did they dump him? As far as Rhule, he's had only a single season on a rebuilding team (during which he was paired with a crap GM) so I think his grade is still Incomplete as of now.

You seriously think they had a conversation where they said "Well, Fields might be the better quarterback but we can't take him because we might look bad and it's better to risk losing than looking bad." Yeah, sure. Lemme guess. Is David Tepper sitting next to you in the room again?

Nope, sorry. It's silly. The notion that they're going to make a football decision for PR reasons is just dumb.

Daley staying healthy would be looking me of a stretch at this point. Last year they favored Scott over Daley, and while he's not exactly a premier talent, he didn't do a bad job either. I think it'll come down to Erving, Scott and Christensen. Erving and/or Scott might start Week 1 but I think the job eventually goes to Christensen.

Yeah...this is a really dumb take. You know what really makes people look bad? Losing. No coach or GM with even half a brain is going to pass up a player they think can help them win just because it might make a prior decision look bad. Basically, you're spinning it this way because you absolutely can't believe that a group of professional football evaluators could ever possibly disagree with you. Reality? Yes they can, and they did. If we still had Marty in charge, you might have an argument. Marty was well known to have done stuff to cover his own ass. With Fitterer and Rhule? No. They proved otherwise by parting ways with Bridgewater.

Pretty much. They started off with a narrative and set out to back it up rather than actually analyzing anything. It's crap, but most offseason speculative articles are, so no shock.

No it doesn't. The last paragraph is especially full of bullsh-t.

The part with Fitterer and Rhule was pretty funny. "You want to be in the schedule release vid?" "No, not really."

You can also go to the Panthers YouTube channel and rewind it so that you don't miss anything.

Regarding the time...

Same.

Don't say that, man. I'd be hearing about it for weeks

This doesn't really sound like Darnold to me but I get the sentiment (not so sure about the "sticking it up their blank blank" part)

I'm kind of surprised he's still a free agent this far into the offseason.

I never really knew you could scheme up that sort of thing.

I'd at least make an effort to trade him to Ron and Marty first.

I've said many times I wouldn't try him at guard. I don't think his body is as much of a problem as his head. This,asking him to learn a new position probably isn't the best idea.

The team would probably prefer they didn't and might ask them not to.

Ron didn't exactly "get us".

Wouldn't put money on that either.
