  1. Orlovsky said we talked to him about "a high level position" on the coaching staff but never specified what it was. I've never heard anyone else either confirm or deny it.
  2. Well, my dad passed away about 20 years ago so he'd have to show up as a zombie
  3. Someone asked him about Christensen. He stated that he believes he'll stick around for his versatility as a backup but acknowledges it's possible the Panthers could draft someone to start over him.
  4. Kaye noticed the same thing I did...
  5. Most of the guys making these predictions say the same thing, but everybody ignores it
  6. Haven't seen the official date on he or Levis yet but they're supposed to be this week according to reports.
  7. Was thinking of an '80s night time soap opera like Dallas or Dynasty...
  8. We don't have a pizza option but I guess that's close
  9. The only place I've seen rumors of Chinn being traded is on the Huddle.
  10. Carrington Valentine sounds like a character in a soap opera
  11. Speaking as a guy with a pretty bad one, I totally agree
  12. Yes, and Young tomorrow. All four quarterback visits are supposed to be this week.
  13. Full context of the defensive coordinator comments... One coach of a team with a pick in the top half of the first round had an interesting observation about Young/Stroud. This coach told me he had Stroud a strong number one on his board, with Young two. The overriding point was about size. If Young plays at 5-10 and, say, 198, he’ll be one of the smallest quarterbacks ever, obviously, in the NFL. Not just short, but slim. This coach asked me about the defensive fronts Young will face. “Alabama’s line was superior,” this coach said, “and Young consistently had enough time to throw. Taking away nothing from him, because he made the throws and made the plays to be great. But the offensive line for him will be crucial. Think of the defensive coordinators he’ll face, and how much they’ll emphasize putting good hits on him. I don’t see how that’s not a big factor when you put a grade on him.” Think of 6-8 Calais Campbell and 6-3 David Onyemata bull-rushing Young on the Atlanta defensive front—Campbell has 10 inches and 110 pounds on Young. People will say Young faced great defensive linemen in the SEC, and he did. But he’s not likely to have an NFL offensive line as foreboding as the one he had at Alabama.
  14. Full context of King's comments... The Bryce Young-to-Carolina talk increases. Though ESPN’s Chris Mortensen stressed the final call has not been made, the plugged-in Mort did say he thinks the Panthers “will stick with him when it’s time to turn in the card” on draft night. This jibes with what I wrote last week — that Young has a lot of fans in high places in the organization. I agree with Mortensen that it’s not a done deal, but the momentum toward Young is real. What’s interesting if the 5-10 Young goes before the 6-3 (and accomplished) C.J. Stroud is how it signifies how much the game has changed over the past few years. Young likes people comparing him to a point guard, a distributor of the ball to the open man, because it illustrates a lot about modern quarterbacking. In today’s game, a short quarterback can work better than a generation ago because it’s more of a horizontal, short-passing game overall.
  15. Breer has a lot more info here than just "I think the Panthers take Bryce Young".
  16. No we don't... "We" only know this if we'd rather put our tinfoil hats on than actually apply some critical thinking and analysis to the situation.
