Mr. Scot

Vrabel is kind of a dick

Let's be perfectly honest here, this has nothing to do with the Panthers. It is, however, hilarious

Or could it be... networking?

Except it hasn't, at least not in the way that quarterback athleticism or mobility can substitute or make up for poor passing. And barring some pretty major rule changes, I seriously doubt it ever will. Mind you, the game changes in little ways on pretty much an annual basis (especially with the aforementioned rule changes) but the core of the game largely remains.

So apparently, this wasn't a one off thing... It's the Matt Rhule 2022 World Tour! Tickets on sale now but they won't last! Get yours TODAY!!!

Playoffs?

Just saw this...Damn

McShay's not someone I listen to much, honestly. ESPN has been trying to build him up for years but he's just not that good. Brugler is probably the best draft guy going right now.

Pickett is definitely built to play in a West Coast style system.

Well see, there's this... I mean, with all that amazing success, can't understand why anybody would have negative feelings about David Tepper

Didn't that land cover both sides of the border?

Looking down that draft as a whole, I get the feeling he's not gonna be able to hang on to that "#1 most accurate" title this year.

Nationally speaking, Brugler is way more highly regarded than Trapasso. That's not limited to people on this board.

Can't say for sure whether or not Incognito frequently showed up drunk. I do have it on good authority though that he pretty regularly showed up stupid.

My personal pipe dream is that the NFL forces Stephen Ross to sell the Dolphins and Tepper decides he'd rather own them than the Panthers. There was a rumor that one of the Walton family heirs might be interested in buying the Broncos. Maybe he could take the Panthers from Tepper instead. Don't remember the exact amount, but his reported net worth made Tepper look like a small business owner. (I can dream)

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure he still doesn't live here at this point. I believe his actual home remains in Florida. If there are any other NFL owners who don't even live in the same state in which their team is based, I don't know who they are.

The NFL's primary point of interest was David Tepper's connection to 11 billion dollars. Anything beyond that wasn't really considered important.

Oy...

I get that owners always want to be involved, but the smart ones who hire smart people listen to those people. When it comes to football matters, I've not seen a single thing that made me think David Tepper is very smart.

Quoting the wise old sage, Benny Hill... They thought that it could not be done Some even said they knew it But he faced what they said could not be done... And he couldn't bloody do it The Panthers had success with and undersized, overaged linebacker in Sam Mills. But as much respect as I have for Sam, that's not a path I'd recommend pursuing again. I've seen a lot of teams tell themselves that they could do a certain thing because they've seen someone else do it, and more often than not they're wrong. It's always great when somebody does achieve something difficult or unusual, but there's generally a reason why it's looked at that way.

I've always wondered how many different things Michael Irvin had in his bloodstream at a typical Cowboys practice.

I'd do the Benny Hill theme instead.

I'm more concerned if he is. It's kind of like a guy who knows nothing about home building hiring experienced builders, then deciding he doesn't like the way they're doing it so he's going to tell them how to do their job...or just do it himself. The correct action would be to hire a different builder, of course. But when you're one of those people who always thinks you're the smartest person in the room (even when you're clearly the dumbest) this is how things often play out

At this point I've seen Willis compared to a dozen or more pro quarterbacks, and to a man they were all infinitely more successful against a higher level of competition than anything Willis saw. Basically people just project whoever they want to see him as (regardless of whether there's any real validity to it).
