Mr. Scot

Not much...at all. We've already seen how Walker looks when he's not playing the worst defense in the league. Heck, even against the Lions he had issues. Igo is right. He's not an NFL quarterback. And your trying to pump him up just makes you look dumb. What's even dumber though is this whole "I want the Panthers to lose so they can see they were wrong to let Newton go". First off, they weren't. Newton is in decline, and the fact that only one team was willing to give him a minimal, incentive laden contract demonstrates that pretty much everyone knows it. More to the point though, you sound like a whiny five year old whose parents just took away their toys. Now you're gonna hold your breath till you turn blue because I'LL SHOW THEM!!! Yeesh Reality is we don't know whether Darnold is going to be the answer or not, but anybody with even minimal football knowledge knows that PJ Walker isn't. "Open competition" is the stupidest suggestion I've seen in a long time. Bottom line though? Newton is gone. His story here should have ended better but it didn't, and that's reality for most players in the NFL. Get over it.

Everything you know about football wouldn't fill a Post-It note.

So you want the team to lose because you're mad about Newton. Besides being lousy fanhood, that's some really dumbass reasoning.

Side Note: from Chiefs OTAs, how not to celebrate...

The hard part is knowing what that also means.

The Cleveland Browns approve of this post.

The "open competition" suggestion is one of the flat out stupidest things I've seen in a long time.

That ship has sailed.

Marty actually was the dead weight that was kept around for another season...or three.

Side Note: He may be up in age, but Gil Brandt is still one of the most respected talent evaluators out there

FYI: Our resident fan of the Appaloosa method isn't very good at detecting when he's being trolled.

I've learned that if it's posted on the team site, you can pretty much guarantee it'll be posted here shortly.

I've never really thought that Mixon was as bad as a lot of fans on here seem to think.

So is watching the one that was created last year close up shop.

Just one request... Don't punch the ground

Double whammy of former Panther News: The Jaguars have placed Terry Godwin on injured reserve (didn't see what for). To replace him, they've signed Pharaoh Cooper.

The world of NFL analysis and reporting has its fair share of Adams. I like Rank better than I do Schein.

For me honestly, what might be the biggest deal will be the players. If they get some legit guys that just weren't quite NFL ready or fell through the cracks, it could be a big boost. Getting a big name coach or two probably wouldn't hurt either.

This sounds a little negative, but I don't think Josh means it that way. He's right though. The last vestiges of Jerry Richardson's team are headed off into the sunset. Jeff Morrow is taking a lesser role in the front office that makes me think he might retire soon as well. The one exception seems to be Matt Allen, but from what I've been reading I don't think that's a problem.

Maybe they'll hire Oliver Luck.

Wait, you mean everybody's not trying to get out because we traded for Darnold? Rhule actually said something similar in one of his recent post OTA pressers. He said Darnold doesn't even want to have one bad rep in practice. Bad reps are going to happen to everybody, but that kind of perfectionist thinking is nice to see.

I'm not sure the XFL could have survived long-term, primarily for one reason. Vince McMahon is a colossal dickhead. That, plus he's starting to show signs of going down the same path as Jerry Richardson. Can't help feeling that organization would have imploded eventually. Hell, there's even talk now that he might sell the WWE.

I'm one of many folks who really wish that the NFL would embrace the idea of having a minor league. The USFL could definitely serve that purpose.

Hey John, if you get the play by play gig, I've got a favor to ask
