Mr. Scot

Will be interesting to see if Horn draws flags.

I was kinda pulling for Stokke. Middleton is a name I've heard before but I'd need to look him up to refresh my memory.

Pretty much. We've seen so many "David Tepper will do this", "David Tepper will do that", "David Tepper will pay any price", "David Tepper will move any mountain", etc. etc. type ramblings that we could probably start a Chuck Norris style website called davetepperfacts.com (and be equally true to life as the Norris one) Yet in reality Rhule, Fitterer, Gantt and even Tepper himself have confirmed that he doesn't influence personnel decisions at all. His only input is on the processes used. And if you needed further proof, you saw it play out that way at the Draft on Panthers Confidential as well. That's why at this point, any suggestion that starts with "well, David Tepper" is one that I automatically discount as sheer (and uninformed) speculation.

Went from having Joe Brady as an OC back to Scott Turner... That doesn't say "positive results" to me.

Because when it comes to football, David Tepper is actually the dumbest guy in the room. Not only is he not more football savvy than Matt Rhule and Scott Fitterer; he also ranks behind Dan Morgan, Pat Stewart, Matt Allen, Samir Suleiman, pretty much anyone else in the front office and also every member of the coaching staff. Buying a football team does not make you a football genius any more than buying a computer makes you a programmer. Tepper becoming a hands-on owner is the last thing the Panthers need.

Eeehhh, sounds like the same old "David Tepper wants him" speculation we've heard a hundred times before. "Committed to finding a quarterback", "could be inclined", maybe this, maybe that, shampoo, rinse, repeat. I'd add that "League source" is pretty frequently someone's agent, and isn't likely within the Panthers organization or it probably would have said so.

Well, after seeing him say that he doesn't care if a guy abuses women as long as he's good at football, I'm pretty sure he's not smart enough to have hurt feelings.

Going by the colors and the species, I'm gonna say Eagles. And to be fair, you can't rightly expect a bird to cheer for cats

Given your track record, I can't really say that worries me

I know that phrase quite well Equally familiar with "bird on the head", "bird on the shoulder", "bird chewing holes in my shirt" and several others.

I'm guessing several would nominate Alice for that particular...honor. Probably need some clarification though. Guys like Alice, Real Deal and some of our resident Falcon fans are deliberate trolls. On the flipside, you've got guys that are just plain stupid. Does being a dumbass really qualify as trolling?

Let's be real: Forget the season. There are folks on here who will try to turn this board into a train wreck if we lose our first preseason game while Fields completes a single pass in his. There's always that contingent that trips all over themselves for a chance to say "I told you so".

Fair If you ever search "Troll 2" on YouTube, you'll find plenty of clips. (with many of them having the word "worst" somewhere in their title)

Actually from what I've heard, that one's not bad. As to Troll 2, I think when the story was written they were meant to be goblins. Also factors in that while supposedly being a sequel, it doesn't seem to have much in common with the original movie.

Don't know about the size of the trolls, but there may not be a bigger piece of cinematic dog crap than that movie

I get a feeling you're hinting at something

You asked

Over in Minnesota... First round pick just last year, now gone...

I wonder who he's referencing here

Depends on the circumstances. In the offseason, I can see giving trolls a little leeway because there's not a lot going on anyway. Once there's real actual news to discuss though, folks don't necessarily feel like wading through a dozen troll posts to get to the meaty content.

You definitely can. Devin Hester did it. Mind you, there are different skill sets involved. You want straight line speed in a kick returner whereas punt returners should be more shifty and elusive

I wanna play the Paul Heyman role if this happens.

To be fair, that's technically more "moon" than "flash" (disturbing no matter what you call it, of course)

Pull his shirt up?
