We get rid of our biggest problem and now it's time to sell of everything of worth??? Are you guys fuging crazy? This team is a coach and a QB away from being really competitive. We are poised to get both of those. Why do you want to set us back five years by having a fuging fire sale now?

I've said it before, but here we go again... You guys act like we can tank this season. Like we have a choice or something. There's a damn good chance we lose out from here. That's not tanking, it's getting our asses kicked.

We have to look at his competition for worst. Mayfield's body of work right now is about as bad as I've seen QB work in Carolina since Pickles or Weinke. But maybe the bad play from Mayfield is on Rhule. But so might the same excuse be there for Darnold. Let's face it, we aren't going to war next season with either of them leading the squad. Maybe one holds a clipboard here, maybe neither. But I say give Darnold a spin. Right now it can't hurt us any worse than we already are. If he's good, then heck we get a win to celebrate for once. If he stinks the joint up, then our draft pick will be higher. Win-win -- ish.

Hell, I believed Teddy back then and he was proven righht. Is Teddy a great QB? Nah, he's a helluva back-up, though. Could he have been a decent QB here? He almost was, but they made him wear boxing gloves. Teddy at least knew what he was doing and what should have been done. Coaching didn't and wouldn't back then.

It seems that to succeed at the college level, you have to build a culture that recruits for you, and with the better players you attract you can build a winner. There's just that much difference between the top and bottom players. If you hit the sweet spot at each level of the conferences, you can get some wins and make your mark. In the NFL, it's completely different since there are rules for parity throughout the system. Here, you've got to win first and the culture develops organically from there. Even when it comes to free agent recruitment, money and opportunity matter more than marketing does. I think that's where all of this points to: grabbing college coaches is just grabbing the wrong tool for the wrong job. We've just been treated to a case in point. Let's not do that again.

Some guys never really leave college. They're always a problem later on in the real world.

Sometimes you don't realize how toxic a relationship is until you get a bit of distance from it.

Well, it won't be pretty, whatever it is. It will be temporary, though. Strangely enough, I'm interested in seeing Darnold get back out there and give it a try eventually. He's no long term answer, by any stretch of the imagination, but after what we've been watching, he's got to be a bit better. Next year's QB room is going to be completely different. It has to be.

Never ever date your exes. He's a really great guy, but we need to find new pastures. I think we can all say that had he just stayed here, maybe things would have gotten better eventually, but that's just speculation. We need to move on and up, not revisit our past.

DC, let's start there.

Yeah, he was a revelation yesterday. That kid wanted to make the most of his opportunity and he sure as hell did. Not Steve Smith, Sr. first time touching the ball here level, but pretty spectacular just the same. We can start at the 50 any time and make that work. Keep it up!

Well, the outcome of that game was much better than it could have been. We're like a brand new team today. Sometimes it just takes a good ass whoopin' to get your priorities in line.

Alright, best thing to do when cleaning house is start with the big poo that is getting in everyone's way. Done and done.

Well, alright. That's over with. We move on.

Snow may stay until Rhule has his college coaching job. It's entirely possible that Rhule gets picked up quickly but stays with the staff already in place there for the rest of the season due to contract issues/player familiarity/recruiting. If that's the case, Snow could finish out the season here before joining Rhule in February to put together their coaching staff at the new gig.

We won't win with any of those. Folks have got to quit thinking that Wilks is a great coach. He's a really good positional coach, but as DC here he inherited McDermott's defense scheme and personnel and then he went on to the Cardinals and crashed. Any of the above will send us into a top 5 draft pick this year. I can't wait until we say that we won't pick until the bottom five of the first round of the draft.

You've got a new Brady jersey, don't you?

We are who we thought we were.

And we wait. Again.

or to save the players' lives.

Their defensive stats are probably going to hit near historic levels after todays tilt with our team. We couldn't punch our way out of a wet paper bag. This won't be pretty.

I actually sat through the whole thing. I thought that Rob Zombie really loved The Munsters... maybe he doesn't. It stunk. Herman and Lily were just total rewrites done by terrible actors. Grandpa and Igor were actually decent. The rest was just... gosh, I want to say campy, but really it was just lame. Still, I watched the whole thing. It was like being stuck in traffic right at the scene of the accident. Just could not look away or change to a different channel. Woof. Fred Gwynn is probably spinning in his grave over how bad they did Herman... they actually completely ripped off Young Frankenstein. I don't mean did an homage, I mean ripped it off.

Hmm, the straw grasped in a moment of desperation doesn't seem to be sturdy enough to save the day. Who could have seen that coming?

Let's not even talk about the tax disadvantage players would have with UK taxes vs US ones. Geez that would get so complicated. Of course, for the pack of billionaires that own teams in the league will just waive their hands and make it happen if it is in their favor.
