Mr. Scot

One thing I'd say regardless of your feelings about the cap. This narrative I see people carrying around about how we're going to have tons of cap room next year and we can just fix everything then via free agency and pay all our best players big money to stick around... Let It go.

If we were bros, they'd have given us Stafford

Except when he has to take a sh-t

I'm a lot less concerned with whether he does what I want than I am over the fact that his results have consistently sucked.

You positive we're picking at #6?

Fair enough...

Figured You're missing a decent show if you don't, though.

And it was these clips specifically that changed your mind, of course

Damien Woody chimes in...

I've seen way more Willis mania post pro day than I did post Senior Bowl.

Couple clips courtesy of Brandon Thorn and others... Pad level, foot movement, hips, hand punch, overall agility, and that big? (insert Ron Simmons meme here)

That's actually not a universal consensus. I have seen some say that Willis looked the best, but also others that said Pickett did. The most common analysis I've seen since the Senior Bowl though is that it didn't change a lot of opinions about the quarterback class. Mind you, depending on what you search, you can find pretty much any opinion you want. There was a lot of variance.

On topic... The Panthers won 11 games in 2017 and made the playoffs but lost. Since then, they've won 7, 5,5 and 5 for a total of 22.

We went undefeated. You just couldn't see it

Yes, there actually was. Plenty of people thought Richardson should speak, though it came to be understood that he never would. As far as the Hornets, I'm not a basketball fan but there are some on the board who could probably answer.

I wouldn't necessarily call it a smokescreen, but I would say that at this point the decision is still incomplete. Scott Fitterer mentioned that the next step in the process is going to be to go back and review game film on all of the players they're looking at. A pro day setting might favor Willis, but I'm not so sure the game tape will.

He fired Hurney only to hand the reins over to a college coach with no NFL experience. That doesn't show improvement.

You're referring to the team whose head coach / top decision maker needs to save his job?

An acceptance of accountability...

Remember talking about all that cap space we were gonna have next season? Remember how it was mentioned that we said the same thing last season?

That might not be as far off as you think. I checked both the Panthers video channel and their Twitter page. It's not there. Fitterer is, though.

If you think of it that way, do we need to hear from coaches, or GMs, or even players? As far as the process, no, we don't. It has little to no effect on what happens behind the scenes. But given that sports is about the fans, it helps those fans understand what's happened, what will happen next, etc. Plus it helps us know whether the person talking is someone we can have confidence in or just a numbskull that's full of sh-t. And yes, that's true of the owner as well.

Like for example when you use college coaching methods and principles at the pro level and can't figure out why they're not working?

I don't know that I'd call Lance "unprecedented". He's certainly not on the level of Newton or Vick in that regard. The thing of it though is physical talent isn't the same as quarterback talent. Athleticism and skill set are two very different things.
