CRA

mine is still xclown....but for the younger fans, this is still one of the craziest things I can recall in football. The tiebreaker to get into playoffs coming down to points scored....and both teams competing to put them up. .

X Clown

well, if he has a halfway decent financial adviser...I would suspect he will be wearing 22 this year. Making a ton of decisions like that is how you end up a NFL statistic. but he can do whatever he wants. My son will just have a vintage 22 lol. I'm too cheap to start chasing jersey changes.

Someone probably hasn’t told CMC about all the old Jersey money he would have to fork over…

How dare you. THE PJ Walker is undefeated and has beaten opponents by an average of 20 pts per game in the NFL. If he maintains such a pace, he basically will be Bo Jackson in tecmo bowl and go down in Panther history.

Darnold is still going into his 4th year as a starter in the NFL. If Joe Burrow could pick it up in college then Sam can pick it up in the NFL. I fully expect Joe Brady to run his offense this year. If you think we need to run Foxball for Sam to look good year 1….Sam was a mistake. I think Sam can run the O. All comes down to if he can limit the dumb plays. Talent is there and he is smart enough to pick up the O. Sam can’t be treated and viewed like he is Trey Lance. He doesn’t get to slow walk to the degree Lance would.

Stewart, Beason, Williams, Gross, Peppers, TD too. I mean, plenty of other teams have also had top picks pretty consistently. Few hit the consistent homeruns Hurney did in the first. I just don't think drafting was the issue overall with Hurney. If you stack him up there vs the other franchises. The cap got a mess with bad deals and roster management and he wasn't able to finish the job in FA like he did early on here. Hurney was praised his first several years here. Asking him to managing contracts for his guys and the cap imploded it all IMO.

Joe Brady is our OC. If we have to revert to old school Foxball for Darnold to not look like a bad move.....then it was a bad move. I fully expect Joe Brady to do his thing this year.

I think Hurney the draft guy was actually decent. I mean if you compare our drafting to other teams. Other teams strike out pretty regularly and also do it with top picks. Hurney was one of the biggest home run hitters at the top of the draft. And plenty of franchises have regularly had good draft picks too and failed there. I think everything else about Hurney was horrible though. His contracts. His commitment to his guys. His inability after about 2006 to improve the team via FA.

NFL is the Not For Long league. Coaches don't want to tank and neither do players. Matth Rhule, Joe Brady, etc are too new and young to have tanking be their introduction to the NFL. and if you tank for Trevor, you aren't even guaranteed he will be there as he was. He could of taken a nasty hit in college football and broken his neck. Clemson has had 2 guys in recent years break there neck. That's football.

I like the Tremble pick but he is a project IMO. Not saying we want won't see him but 25% seems pretty high for a raw rookie that was kinda niche player in college. I think he was drafted for his upside down the road and what he could develop into more than anything. people are putting a lot of expectations on some of these guys. The main function of a lot these would be block on the line. I just don't' think we can afford to take a lot of chances with rookies up front early given the gamble they have made trying to redeem Sam Darnold.

Julius from UNC. He seemed to give off the JAG vibe. also that guy Reggie that only lasted a year and sounded like a preacher

I think some for blockchain stuff is interesting and I would assume some aspects of the crypto world will bleed over. Especially as the world gets smaller, we continue to move online and seek to move faster. I think there are some legit projects trying to do some good big picture things. I don’t call it investing. I think it is worthwhile to speculate in it if you have money you don’t care about. Most of it will go away. But I still don’t get Bitcoin at this point. Seems already outdated and old vs the field (and we are still in the speculation era) ….and IMO it’s now being pimped as digital gold because everyone knows it won’t serve a functional purpose in this space down the road vs what others are doing. A lot of it IMO is just digital beanie babies and garbage. Most of it. You aren’t going to want to be sitting their at the end with them. But you can defiantly make some short term cash doing that.

what's the expression the kids are using... paper hands? pretty ugly. or a great time to buy. Guess it depends.

T came out yesterday and announced they would be reducing their dividend. but yeah, they are focused on working on that debt. Probably good for their long term health and growth as well to staying competitive with everything that will be coming in that area. I think they are really focused on getting the stock price up more on par w/ their competitors. But that will take time. But for anyone in short term. My bad. I bought some. Should of told you. The stock gods always like to come at me when I buy something to make me second guess myself. Especially of late.

I think in 2021 we see Horn start and we see some Marshall worked in to a small but legit role. that’s about all I expect in 2021. Maybe Chubba earns a rep here or there. Maybe the long snapper has a shot Everyone else is going to need some time to develop. I don’t buy trying to salvage Darnold and then throwing Christisen, Cornbread, Tremble out there on the OL as rookies. We might see them at some point but I don’t expect their roles to be much as rookies.

Yeah, we should have won multiple championships. I mean a bunch of our JAGs were Pro Bowlers.

in the context of football?

Typo?

Jones and Barnett were highly criticized about their passing ability while in college though. Just like some of Urban's FL boys. Nice stats. Wins. But not good passers. That was never Fields. Who outplayed Lawrence twice head to head in the college playoffs and probably the most accurate QB in this draft. Haskins was a good passer. Not a runner like everyone else. But only had 1 college season to name and then went to a NFL team whose coaches (2) didn't want him. But the little we saw of him wasn't good at all. But talk about a bad landing.

it just seems like a guarantee this topic will be bumped at some point this season....

I agree that there will be a lot more Lucks and Lukes going forward. High draft picks that get that first big contract.....and decide the smart move is not trash your body by maxing it out in the NFL. My money has is still on Trevor and Fields out of this draft. I've never really bought in on the rest of them. They all have bigger question marks to me.

I mean, you toss Lance and Fields out there day 1.....and there teams will have more wins than Trevor's team this season. No doubt about that. Both those teams can push .500 with basically getting little from the QB spot. I don't think you can judge a QB by that. I fully expect Lawrence and Wilson to have loosing seasons and a lot of picks. There teams will be playing from behind and they don't have the weapons to make that easy on a young QB.

Trevor is more like a QB robot. Kinda like Peyton Manning if you gave him some decent wheels. Not saying that is what he will be, but that kinda is the mold. Easily the highest floor of the group. Zach Wilson has a crazy arm. No doubt. I think he probably will make some of the worst decisions with the ball though if ranked with that group.

Defender of the Fresh Biscuit? I think not.
