It is what it is.

Unfortunately, Surtain would be very pricey. Would love to have him.

The questions are how much do you pay him and does he still want to be here? I think the first part is the rub for most. I can't see paying him more than maybe $25-26/mil. He will likely want $30 mil or more. The second part we will know soon enough, I figure. If the team doesn't think they can get a deal done, you gotta try and move him. Otherwise he walks and you get literally nothing.

If we trade him, may as well go full firesale.

Yeah, we probably would have gotten a decent pick. Now we are gonna get nothing.

It's easier to blame Wilks than the 6th round draft pick that looks like a 6th round draft pick minus some of the best weapons in football. You know, the one that ESPN and other sports organizations spammed Tom Brady comparisons for? Surely it can't be that guy. fug it, it's the new DC. He sucks.

Good playcaller does not always equal good head coach. Let's let that play out.

I highly doubt that will happen.

I have lived in or worked in about 45 states so far. There are always positives and minuses everywhere. Also almost every state has super shitty areas and nice areas. I will say that it is very nice to not have to deal with a lot of the moronic Bible Belt BS in most other areas of the country.

Banking Jesus feels like a character someone should create.

If Brown is a good or great OC, why in the world would you want to immediately take away from what he is doing and promote him?

Yeah, how about better attempts to actually scheme people open.

The 49ers will never be anything in the postseason with that coach. He is made to choke when it counts.

I am not advocating for putting him on ice but I am against making dumb dumb trade moves to salvage something that isn't a thing.

That matters for a smaller pool of players. If you grow up an X school fan, then you might go against your best interests for a scholarship. Those players will dwindle over time(they already are).

I mean, some people keep believing for whatever reason.

100% agree. Let him get the reps. But for fug's sake make it as easy on him as possible. Tailor the offense to him. Stop taking all these square pegs and hammering them into round holes. We aren't good. Do fuging better.

It literally is not reputation, it's money. That is why college football is the worst major sport in this country. History only matters if you have money.

We need to give up on this season pretty soon. If you worry about the rookie, then bench him. This is the reality of being on the worst team in the NFL. It's gonna suck.

He is a shell of his former self but what did they expect hiring a guy his age? They either have to get on board with being a big boy(which means spending SOOOOO much more money than they do now) or just accepting that they aren't a football power. It sounds like a slight but this is literally the reality for like 90% of all college football. Hence why I have always hated college football. It is the most fundamentally unfair system that college sports had ever created.

It isn't impossible. Remember that Florida won titles in football and basketball in close proximity. The issue is that it will always be tough when you are such a heavily one sport school. Look at Duke this year. That team is so fuging good. Look at the stands. It's embarrassing.

It's easy to dunk on that old man but really UNC has never been poo outside of his time there so I think he deserves some level of respect. UNC will never be a football power. They don't build for that. Mack got them as close as they will get. This isn't a UNC specific jab. Almost all college football teams fit in this category.

Yeah, hence why we were morons to turn it down. That isn't coming around again. The tag has no value if the player doesn't want to be here. Burns will either hold out or just wait until he can leave on his own. So in a situation where we have no ability to resign a guy, how do you think those negotiations with other teams are going to go? The teams that know we have no choice but to move him for SOMETHING just to make sure we don't let him walk with no compensation. This poo isn't checkers, it's chess. The Panthers are playing tic tac toe.

I agree. I think he is just over being here and I really doubt that changes. I can't say I blame him. I also don't think that is really a revelation to the league as a whole. Hence why I say Burns and the rest of the NFL can see all our cards. Our leverage is basically nothing.

I live in Raleigh and I have PSL's. I'm good. It wouldn't be better in the Triangle.
