    going into a season expecting your team to fail sucks. honestly i don't see why you'd bother with it at all. seems pretty miserable. i know i was that way with rhule and i was about ready to call it quits because life is too short to try and be a fan of a team that you have no faith in at all. seriously i just don't see what the point is in staying a fan.

    life's too short to spend emotional energy on being a fan of a team that you thought was just horrible.

    i'll tell you this...i'd much rather have my hopes up and have them dashed again than have no hope for the team whatsoever. 

    Rhule just about did me in too, but I'm still here.

    Person: Tepper indicates he's learning and changing his approach

    (" Tepper employed a similar strategy after the Panthers decided to scrap the rent-a-quarterback model of the past three years and go with the draft-and-develop approach, which Fitterer had said was the preferred route since he arrived in Charlotte.")

    Deciding to take Fitterers advice  and go with the  draft-and-develop  approach shows  Tepper is learning to rely  a lot more on the real football  people  that know more than him.

    Pretty much...

    I will give him credit. Based on what I've read In this article and others, Tepper did ultimately catch on to the fact that Matt Rhule was full of sh-t.

    Fitterer, Morgan and Reich hold away now...and I'm good with that.

    You seem to like to draw a bit of attention to yourself as well.  So I guess if the shoe fits.  

    Nah...

    I like to talk about football. I don't give a sh-t about attention from internet strangers.

    Our friend you quoted there though? He's a troll, same guy that was pimping the idea that he had inside knowledge of the Watson trade and we were still getting him despite it being reported that his trade to Cleveland was official.

    People who make up sh-t like that...those are the attention whores.

    Clowney is an "A" Run defender and a "C" pass rusher.

    He's like Reggie Bush. He wasn't worth the high pick, but he has had a solid career and isn't a bust. He'd be a plus add to our line and would probably get more sacks than rookie DJ Johnson. 

    I wouldn't be against adding Floyd, Clowney, or Ngakoue, but between the three Clowney is probably the most well balanced. 

    Wouldn't pay nearly what he thinks he's probably worth though. 

    Like was mentioned above though, how many games do you expect to get out of Clowney If you sign him?

    Clowney finished 4-5 in the Heisman voting that year…. Before the famous hit.  Obv that hit got a lot of praise, but he was an elite DE in college.

    Unfortunately for clowney, he had to have micro fracture knee surgery when he got to the NFL, which ends lots of careers 

    And therein lies the issue

    Why though? He has only played one fulll season his entire career (9 seasons)

    Honestly, I think Clowney has always been more name than real player.

    Everybody remembers that one big college highlight, but if you want to name a pro highlight of his, it's not so easy.

    The knock that he made a load of money off of one clip has some validity to it.

    Fitt talks about trading on PFP PM

    in Carolina Panthers

    From a PFT article about the interview...

    In a Tuesday interview with #PFTPM, Carolina G.M. Scott Fitterer addressed the manner in which the team decided to make Bryce Young the No. 1 overall pick.

    “We went through a really continuous process, and we tried to poke holes,” Fitterer said. “We looked at him from every different angle. We went to our analytics guys, we went to player engagement, went to, like, the psychologist. You look for anything that you might miss just on tape and on evaluation. We have all these fact checks in place.

    “Once that person’s able to stand in there and stay at the top of the board the whole time, you know you have your guy. But it was a real process. We really didn’t decide until the Monday prior to the draft. When I went and walked into Frank’s office said, ‘OK, who we taking?’ You know, just kind of a quick question. He said, ‘Bryce.’ I talked to Mr. Tepper about it. I think we were all on board. It was a consensus throughout the organization Bryce was the right guy for us.”

    Fitterer was asked whether there was a moment that, for him, Young emerged as the right choice.

    “The one thing that stands out is probably at dinner, the night before his Pro Day,” Fitterer said. “We’re sitting in a restaurant, and we’re talking to him. And this is the first time, you know, you’ve interviewed him at the Combine in an 18-minute interview. We’ve talked to him at other places, but this is the time you see him in a social setting, where we’re sitting around a table, and we’re really just getting to know the guy, and he’s holding court. We had a couple-hour dinner with him, and as you’re sitting there at dinner, you’re just looking at this guy, and I’m thinking in my head the whole time, ‘OK, is this the right guy for us? Is this the guy we want kind of being our face? Is he the one we want leading our team in the huddle when it’s the fourth quarter?’ And you have all these questions in your head as you’re sitting at dinner just watching him talk to other people. And that’s kind of the moment that I had personally where I thought, ‘OK, this is the guy. This is the guy that we want leading the team.'”

    So how does the manner in which Young handles himself at dinner create confidence that he’s the right guy to lead the team on the field?

    “You feel the presence of the player, just like the command that they have,” Fitterer said. “As he’s sitting there at dinner, he was so poised and you’re like, ‘OK, if I put this guy in a huddle,’ if Frank and I saying, ‘This is the guy, we’re putting him in the huddle, game’s on the line.’ Bryce is the guy we want our players looking at, knowing this is the guy that can get it done for us. We can win with this guy. And I think that’s kind of where that social part overlaps in the football side when you get to know the person and not just the player.”

    Too much reality there for most of the huddle to handle the week after the draft.

    If we're talking about reality, here's what he's really trying to say...

    Please somebody pay attention to me!!!

    Well okay, maybe that's not what he's trying to say, but it's pretty clearly what he's actually saying and what he's been saying for so long that at this point it's pretty pathetic.
