I know! He'll make a mistake in practice and then he's an all-time bust, by Huddle Logic.

He's going to be fun for interviews with his accent, love it! Will he be a good play? Who knows. It's up to Morgan and Canales to maximize his talent. I understand picking up the 5th year option, especially looking at the WR contracts hitting $30 million a year. As fans, we can never know what a team is thinking. We can only look at it like a fan. Morgan said XL has the dawg in him. We'll see if that's the right choice. There's a lot more to the NFL draft than YouTube cut-up highlights. The medicals, interviews, and coaching backgrounds go a long way to figuring this out. Couple of things. This is the Jordan Palmer flag football game where NFL players (including Bryce Young and DJ Metcalf) play for charity. Who was Bryce throwing it to? DK. Interesting.... Is this my crazy brain connecting the dots? No. I just think it's interesting to see. Just interesting that Steve Smith Sr. said that XL reminded him of DK in a few ways... Though it was hilarious seeing this giant human being play flag football with weekend warriors. Will XL be a hit? I don't know. But it's going to be entertaining one way or another. It's not my job to make the picks, thankfully. The criticism is very valid after years of poor drafting. We need to see the improvement on the field.

I hope things go well for the Panthers, and I hope that YOU keep getting better! Best wishes!

The more I hear from Canales, the more I think we made the right hire, finally. Could just be hopium, but man, he seems like he's the real deal. Hopefully Tepper and the fanbase will be patient enough to let him grow into the role. Allow him to learn from his mistakes.

I'll take a stab here... I don't know. For many years, there has been a reliance on the mental aspect of the game. That's why physically limited guys like Brady and Brees were able to be elite-level QBs. Despite a lack of incredible physical talent, they made up for it with their brains. Nowadays, you have teams that are betting on the traits. Patrick Mahomes and John Allen, two of the better QBs around, have a plethora of physical traits. Dad bods and all. They were drafted based on how the team thought they could build around them. The Chiefs were already a playoff team, but Andy Reid needed his ideal QB, which is Mahomes. The Bills bet that Allen could be a Cam Newton type if they took better care of him. You can debate on the tools of Williams versus the brains of Bryce, but at the end of the day, I don't think either matter. What matters is what team the guys go to. Does that team have a plan for their QB? Do they actually execute the plan? Are they patient enough with the QB to let them have their lumps and learn? Or do they toss the baby out with the bath water? We'll see. This should be an interesting football season!

I saw that Arrowhead is thinking of trying to get an xbox port... I think that's great personally. Sure, I'd love to play it, but I don't have time right now. This summer, I'll definitely dive in on PC.

Well, Todd Howard has executive producer credits, so there's that

Honestly, this screams draft gamesmanship. I think the Panthers do like Legette. He's very interesting. By broadcasting that they want a guy, their hope is that will allow them to get more for pick 33. That's what I think. Wouldn't surprise me if they don't draft him either.

Man alive! I do love draft season! The smoke screens are all out there from players, agents and teams! Though not much information. I wouldn't stress about it. There's a LOT going on between now and Friday... A lot can change.

Man, I am surprised it doesn't have its own thread. Just a great damn show. The cast is wonderful. Money was well spent. Waldon Goggins is amazing. It had a lot of great pieces from the games and toed the line of being definitively a fallout show but still telling an engaging story. Some of the characters didn't hit for me, but at the end of the day, I couldn't wait to see each episode. Though I wish it was a weekly thing. I don't want it to fade from the social conscience. Season 2 is already green lit! So I'm pretty excited! Made be redownload fallout 4 and jump back into the wastelands! Anyone else?

Looks like a stock trader who wants to know what the fundamentals are and how it's going to grow or how he can capitalize on its weaknesses. It doesn't work that way in the NFL. Tepper needs to understand that the NFL isn't a traditional business. His acumen and background mean NOTHING to winning in the NFL. Instead, he needs to hire smart people with a plan and let them do their thing with minimal input and interference. If Tepper wants to be the biggest fan and nerd, getting to go around with the team, attending dinners, whatever. It's his money. He wants to talk to draft picks and welcome them? Cool! That's a nice gesture for a young man on the biggest night of his life. But when making decisions, he needs to just back away. No, run away. Tepper should concentrate on the business and fan side of things. Make coming to games an incredible experience for the fans. Let the football people do the football things.

I'm thrilled for the Canes and the Raleigh area. I'm glad they managed to put together a competent team and situation. I think the biggest problem in the NFL is the money. With the pure amount of money, plus the general ego of the rich in general; you end up with some real special people in charge of teams. Sometimes you have a cheap billionaire, like the Hunts not wanting to give their players a new locker room. Or you have a Tepper who will burn money because he's so rich. I think the most important aspect of owning a team is finding people you trust and giving control to them. Give them the reign to make decisions, learn, and improve. That's hard when teams go from the basement to the penthouse in a season (and back down) in sports. Admitting when you are wrong or don't know something takes a lot of humility. That's a difficult task for a billionaire who profited off the hard labor of others without doing much real work on their own. It's even worse when you have a "self-made" billionaire like Tepper. They think because they came up from nothing, they can be better than everyone else. It's exhausting!

Ahh, huddle, you never change! What will shut us all up is winning. That's just the reality of sports. I hope that the Panthers are better this year than last year. I hope that this is the coach and staff that helps the Panthers turn the corner from dumpster fire to an interesting and entertaining team. We are the joke until we prove we're not. I hope someone puts that on a board somewhere in the Panthers' offseason meeting rooms.

The good news is that the Panthers have plenty of holes and a dearth of talent! I don't think you can point to a spot and say "we're set there" outside of guard maybe. I'd love to get several of these dawgs on the team to help transform the culture. It may not lead to a 10 in season this year, but is we're able to reset the roster and attitude... It won't hurt my feelings.

News Flash, just get DK Metcalf! This just popped up in my YouTube feed, and I was like WTF? Bryce's team won the flag football tournament so there's that. I'm sure many of y'all are going to make the statement "a good place for him" etc. But what sticks out to me in the very few parts with Young is if he can find a guy to make a play, he'll find them. No, this was not NFL football, it was a charity flag football game. Bryce needs guys who will make plays. Like most NFL QBs.
