There is zero excitement for me next season, just like last season. Hopefully the draft adds some life to this corpse of a franchise. It's like Weekend at Bernie's at this point. Also Tepper looks completely out of his element in the NFL. Dude hid behind Ron and Marty, then kept Marty like a blanky. He will make money either way so there is still hope he can keep caring and actually improve and not be a bad owner.

So far he is suspect at best. Reddick is the best move and he only came here to play for Rhule and Snow. Our Oline rebuild looks worthy of trying to kill a QB. We pushed the Shaq and CMC bad contracts into next year instead of doing something positive with either. And he has sayings like 'in on every deal' (plenty we should not be in on) and 'likes to draft a QB every year' (could work if we had one worth starting). Meh, this draft will show me everything else I need to know about this guy.

In the end, we will have probably overpaid for both.

Even with Hurney in the mix last year, Rhule looks to be where the blame falls. There isn't a way to spin it yet otherwise. If anything, the Sam deal reinforces how bad we could have done in a blockbuster trade. I do not trust this crew's team building skills at all and they have not earned the right to realistically talk about winning until they do some of it. If I am going to go down fantasy lane, maybe we fug up another year and Tepper finally grows a pair and hires a great GM and takes roster control away from Rhule. I think it's the space he would thrive in if he allowed it, very good coach with zero positive team building skills or experience in the NFL. So far Fritters looks to not have brought any positives with him, he was a Teddy hire at GM for real. If he has a Seattle quality draft I am all for calling it a bad hire, warm body with a compatible personality but lacking any positive GM skills who is at best super green. So far we are overcommitted to relying on too many injury prone guys and his Oline pickups are trash.

Fair and reasonable. At this point I feel comfortable with the D and completely concerned with the O. We need a really good draft with some playable O pieces.

Hard to spin this positively after Teddy proved the staff couldn't make him more than he was. 0-1 and likely another on its way. At this point we kill the draft or we start talking a new staff at sometime during the year. It's a hail marry and with us we all know that's with crap QB play. So desperate. Well, now they get to prove it, again.

Poor Anderson. Only 1 more year, again.

I'm not debating his salary or cost. I honestly don't really care, we burnt all that money when we gave him this deal. I do agree with all rest. I fear a Seatle-esk draft incoming and that is going to be a bigger issue. There are some real reasons to question this crews ability to judge talent on the O, like Teddy being a backup plan when it was evident that bridge was burnt. Combine that with the beginner level skills of our GM this offseason and Teddy's cost just goes up in smoke for me. I fear at this point the Teddy debacle was just a new normal for us.

McDaniels was once a hot up and coming coach... Got to wonder if it's all positive on the D and our O is just not very good at this point. Anyways, put up or GTFO is pretty approachable.

if we trade him effort 6/1 it looks like we have a dead cap hit of 10 million. Honestly, whatever. Get some cap back either way and off to the next cheaper mistake. I will be shocked if someone wants him at 12 million this year. Looking like a cut is the likely hand here. Go Texans!

That's what I understood. If we trade him, chuckle, we pay 10 million of his salary this year. Looking like a cut incoming but who knows at this point. Pressure and desperation makes for odd decisions in the NFL.

Come on Houston. Show us you still have it and want to fight us for that first pick in 2022 (if they haven't already traded it away). We will cut him and he will sign a contract as a backup and do well in that roll. What he always was and should have been.

Last year was a free pass, completely out of anyone's control. It looks like he will see what the fans do this year for real. I'm expecting peak 2008 to 2010 type situation. We will see if that effects the equation at all.

Sadly this assumes Tepper knows what a hot seat is and what to do with one.

LoL. Smells like the same crap, puts together same bad product, what's really different? We could have hired a great GM. We kept Hurney and took what was left when he was fired. Again, it looks to be time to burn it all down and start over.

Which SB did he win? The one last year or year before when he went from crap to better option for non-winner of the SB? Or are you finally going to admit this is about you feeling better about not getting better? How did Teddy do in our genius OC perfectly tailored offense? What could go wrong? We have goobs on here celebrating the QB that got a bad franchise the 2nd pick is coming here to save us from sucking. I completely understand wanting to believe. Not allowing others to not take the same baseless stance in a different direction is a huge fallacy. Either of us may be wrong but I have factual reasons to believe this is a bad move where you have only hope and conjecture to back up your desires. If I am wrong we get to see a miracle and if you are wrong we get to see Tuesday, I'll take that bet. Our OC isn't and hasn't show any genius regardless of the hype. Fug sake, we thought Teddy was the answer last year. I feel pretty safe with saying this is a failure all over again.

It's just all coping at this point. Either they settle or they call it for the poo sandwich it is. Either way, we are sunk for another year at the minimum.

Sounds like better options than known failures at a high cost to replace that last overpriced failure from crew that doesn't know how to win in the NFL. Keep them pompoms goings, good look on you Claw. Maybe state something factual that has a place outside of distant longshot with no other option. We have operated desperately this entire offseason and we have finally made the bad move. I didn't hope for it, I didn't want it and I am sure as hell not supporting it. You know what isn't worse than a complete failure? The 4th or 5th best option in this draft when there were only 4 decent options.

And that was said last year when Teddy came on. It's all a sad repeat. Lol. Keep belittling me because you are wasting the next year of your life as an adult in a repeating phantasy. Take a long look in the mirror, your not that different if you are here bickering.

LOL. Teddy to Darnope, we have no idea what talent is at this point. Just face it, we have little hope on the offensive side at this point. We are literally jumping on longshot chances before we have to. As a longtime Panther's fan why can't you see this?

I am in full burn it down mode. Nothing except Burns and Chinn is worth saving. The sooner the rest goes we can get back to hoping for a better year.

No, just a different flavor of crap. Not better at all at this point. They are looking to have a better QB in a few weeks. I am spouting what I see. We are bad and not being run well, like the Jets. What is the difference? Both bad owners not adding positives. Neither know how to win. Neither are winning. What hurts worse is JR did better and he was a POS.

Literally nothing is better. What do you not get about that? This is Teddy 2.0 territory a year after learning nothing. Go into draft, see what pick 8 brings. Then trade for garbage at a high price in desperation. We couldn't even make it to the draft before panicking. Honestly, not being sarcastic, guys in the second round with little chance of success had more to offer than Darnope because they all have not proved how bad they are in the NFL already. We are today, no less in need of a QB then before we traded for a long shot QB to be years of tape has ever shown him to be. Hoping Darnope will work out is the NFL equivalent of huffing paint cans in a paper bag.

Huffed on paint and seen a better option? In all reality, not doing something dumb is better than doing something ridiculously desperate. This is worse than Teddy because we learned nothing from that failure while solving nothing at a higher cost then just a bad Teddy contract.
