Okie dokie then.

Everyone missed on him.

Verge knows more about draft candidates than 90% of the pro scouts do.

If he's good enough for @Verge to be happy about it, then I'm all in on the pick. They're almost never wrong.

Yep, that's it in a nut shell. I hope he proves me wrong this year and it all comes together. We need it. If he doesn't break .500 I don't see how he can come back. And if we're under .500 at the midpoint of the season, he might get Rivera'ed and shown an early exit.

We can always use a great lineman. Hope he pans out as a league leader.

I hate saying it, but we're going to drop our first three and talk of Tepper being on the hotseat will be real. I don't think he'll see game five from our sidelines. Edit: Nah, even I can't go with this. I think we'll come out of the gates roaring with CMC and a newly invigorated offense led by Corral from game one. We'll win the first two (I don't think Watson will play) and then our defense will let us down. Offense will keep us in the games, but our defense just doesn't make a stand. Tepper looks for a new coach by week eight.

Actually, I think Cleveland certainly has some charms to it.

This 100%. And we have to realize that we won't fix the defense with another one year rental of a sack specialist. Our defense is soft and that's a down to the core problem that can't be fixed with a coat of paint or a flashy new doodad.

Remember when the NFL didn't spend two weeks hyping the schedule release? Talk about marketing the poo out of your brand every single day.

Wow, that was a powerful piece. I knew he'd played here in Greensboro for NC A&T and he was a heck of a running back. Sounds like a good, Good man who has had to deal with the ramifications of others' life decisions heavier than anyone I could imagine. I hope he finds peace and I hope he finds another shot at football. We could use a guy like him here, high character and understanding of the sacrifices he's made and the sacrifices made by others to get him where he was.

Let's face it, the guy's having more fun than any other Panther.

Perfect show then, still holds up beautifully. Best ensemble cast ever. As much as I wanted more of it then, I realize now that no one would be able to capture lightning in a bottle like that a second time.

There's a part of me that wants to be optimistic and say that Rhule will come out and surprise us this season, finally make us contenders. I look at the draft and see potential there. And then I remember I felt that way for the prior two seasons. And then I see that we haven't fixed any problems on defense. I want us to win 10, but I'm afraid we're going to struggle to win five.

Of all the great linebackers to play the game, Ray Lewis, by far had the best lawyers.

As I pointed out, there were pretty much an equal number of good and better players in the red and yellow as there was in the good ratings. Perhaps RAS isn't any real indicator of success in the NFL but just a snapshot of a player at their peak in college against other college athletes?

Looking at the names, though, it doesn't seem like RAS correlates to success in the NFL very much. There are some real nothings in the green listing, some pretty darned good players in the red. Maybe I'm just not understanding this.

If Texas' ego wasn't big enough already. It's time to mess with Texas.

Sometimes you recognize the cow patty without having to step in it.

If it was such a great, surefire investment, then he'd want to build it for himself and pocket all of the money. Right? Tepper's record for property development seems to echo his ability for team development.

Can someone translate the text for me. Couldn't figure out what his new name was going to be. Has he entered the Witless Protection Program or something to bring this identity change on?

Really? I've been against him since he arrived (thanks to his police report), but for on-field, I called it that season when he literally did NOTHING after like the fifth week in the season. Dude was pretty much taking naps on the field and doing nothing to help out his team mates. He got his good start because no one thought he was worth covering and he made them pay. They started covering him with a DB2 or a safety and he couldn't compete. Year two he further exposed himself as another poor choice from the Matt Rhule former students pool.

First, we need a defensive concept that wasn't developed by an obscure college in 1953 and last played by the semi-pro Tulsa Cattlemen in the 1970s. Second, we're going to need someone besides Shaq and Jeremy to show some willingness to tackle. Get some grit and stop playing like you don't want to go into free agency with an injury at the end of the season. That team was soft last season. Quit riding the stats from your first three games and thinking you've won the season. We decimated some really bad, or really injured/sick, teams then didn't adjust our defense to play good opponents. Dallas exposed our scheme to every team that had a decent coach and we suffered for it. If the defense is willing to play like they really were defending their house and we show some modern, professional coaching and schemes, we can be really good. There's a lot of talent out there in that group, but it has to be made into something.

Dude, he sucks. He's a moron, plays like a selfish twit and will throw his teammates under the bus to cover up for his failings. I'd pay another team to take him.
