Mr. Scot

Wrong...again. I don't "want" Carr so much as I'm okay with the idea of us signing him...and equally okay if we go in a different direction because I think our current leadership Is trustworthy (I've said as much multiple times). The nuance you miss (one of many) as far as the situation though is that it's not as simple as "I want this guy" or "I want that guy". When looking at acquiring a particular player, GMs and coaches have to look at things like injury history (and probability), cost and other factors. They don't just say "Well, he won MVP four years ago so let's give up ten picks to get him", at least not if they're smart. As mentioned, you have something you want to see happen and you filter every single thing through that lens. Quick hint: that kind of filter has a really nasty habit of distorting things. Hence why you keep saying things that multiple people have told you are off the mark or inconsistent. Prime example: Your suggestion that getting fired automatically proves you're bad. You say that because of Carr, but miss the fact that in doing so you're also saying the same thing about our head coach. And that's just one example, again, of many. Hence why I've tried a couple of times to tell you that you need to cool it on acting like you know more than others when you pretty clearly demonstrated that you don't. As mentioned before, It's okay to not know things...but when you don't and claim you do, well...

There's an old saying that goes something along the lines of "There is no fool quite so foolish as the one who thinks himself wise." Your thing (again) is to boast that you're someone who knows what's really going on no matter what anybody says, including the people whose thoughts and actions you're actually claiming to describe. As was pointed out on the other thread though, the facts of these situations and the people involved have a somewhat inconsiderate habit of contradicting you. My preference Is generally to take what people say seriously unless they give me a reason not to, especially when their actions are consistent with their words. You can proclaim yourself too smart for that sort of thing If you wish, but it works for me

If you say so...

Again, ironic...

I'd go back to something Reich said in his presser: (Paraphrasing) "I hired a man, not a scheme."

Dude, if you get yourself banned or whatever, that's on you, not me.

Well, I suppose the alternative would be believing that nobody ever tells the truth but luckily I'm smart enough to know what they're really saying. But of course, that would make me a know-it-all.

The guy who's gonna be running it did pretty well with it at his last stop.

I thought it was a lineman but I'll look again.

I prefer Frank Reich as a source.

Yes, but he won the MVP four years ago. (seriously, that's part of his argument)

Our young friend here wants the Panthers to trade the farm for Lamar Jackson and views all football reality through that lens. (hence his propensity to make claims that are... questionable).

Not really. We know from various sources that the front office likes him, but they're not going to proceed without agreement from Reich. And Reich's not going to proceed until he's met with his staff. So no, the notion that we'd have moved sooner if we were really interested doesn't hold water.

You don't consider Ben McAdoo a quarterback guru? Seriously though, he does have a lightning release. With actual teachers, who knows?

Or maybe it's that, you know, he hasn't met with his staff to discuss what they want to do yet. You know, like he said

Understood.

You have lost it, dude. You sound like a kid in a schoolyard.

Pretty much.

Yeah, this... ... wasn't personal at all

I'm not the one resorting to personal attacks, dude. That's the clearest sign you need to chill for a bit.

Wouldn't mind having House back.

Bit late for that...

And getting highly emotional. Seriously dude, you need a break.

Apparently they're gonna try and keep him. Among the consequences...

Again, oy
