Mr. Scot

Players hardly ever blame anyone but themselves. Can't take it too seriously.

The Thing is a masterpiece. John Carpenter is one of my favorite directors.

Not happening... It'd have to be 1-16

All plausible

Valid point.

FYI…

Ay, Chihuahua

The tank was secured when Matt Rhule was retained.

For now it's Juston Burris...

I think what his "process" ultimately boils down to is just tecruit the best players and everything else will take care of itself. Basically, what a college coach would do... ...except that doesn't work in the NFL

He is a great player, but I don't know that I'd call him a great safety. He's badly misused in our current scheme.

FYI Team leadership has said this pretty consistently for a while now.

Probably not, though looking at the teams we'll be facing while he's out, the timing isn't great.

Just saw (ugh) Out for at least four weeks. They elevated Juston Burris from the practice squad to take his spot.

Probably worth remembering that Quinn still had at least two or three prospects last year when he suddenly pulled out altogether and announced that he was staying with the Cowboys. Never really saw what that was about.

Quick word to Shane Steichen fans (I know @TheCasillas is one) A potential glitch in getting him to Carolina could arise if the Chargers dump Brandon Staley. There's chatter that Staley might be on the hot seat this season. Steichen (who is originally from and grew up in California) spent about ten years with that organization. He'd likely be a pretty popular choice to replace Staley if he's let go. Already being well known by team leadership certainly wouldn't hurt. Whether or not Staley gets fired is up in the air of course (the Spanos family can be kind of unpredictable). Even if it's not this year though, if the Chargers job is the one he really wants, he could have a chance to get it before too long.

He did, but lost it in spectacular fashion. Honestly, I'm not sure he ever recovered from that.

At the moment, I'd say probably the O-Line. That bodes well for the future too.

The Burnt Rumps sounds like a bad pink band

I'll always wonder what could have been...

Not a fan...

It would make you think there's something deeper, but no way to know what.

One thing I still don't get regarding the thread title... He said "a Tepper" wants a change. Is that David, Nicole or someone else we don't know? Maybe it's Robert Tepper. His lyrics would certainly apply to our current situation.

There's a pretty obvious candidate to give him that advice, and I don't know why he wouldn't contact him outside of an egotistical desire to prove to everyone that he can do this without anybody's help.
