I ran into Darryl Green in KC today. Good guy.

I love how a 2023 6th round pick is classified as 'aggressive'. One could interpret that as the front office truly understanding the market.

Who eats candy corn?

The objective reality of terrible officiating can be discussed without it automatically being assumed that that is the only reason Carolina lost. I think it's quite fair to say, however, that some of the missed/incorrect calls did have notable impact on the game, that said impacts more than once benefitted Dallas in a manned that did not obstruct their path to victory, and that balance would have made Carolina's potential path to victory less obstructed.

Oh they committed plenty. They just weren't called for any.

I feel like YGM would have been an asset today and that him being out may have hampered their ability to move to a different look. Hell, one of those short yardage/goal line situations it look like there were only 3 down lineman for Carolina. It was just a strange approach overall.

No OPI on Cooper there?

And Shaq wrapped up even making the big hit... progress

Lucky, lucky SOBs.

Looking like a Rivera post-break team right now.

I think he's claiming Rhule called him about being signed in Carolina after he became HC and then just ceased contact because of a blackballing conspiracy.

Grievance about what? And isn't this the clown that was on video hitting someone with his belt? Edit: looks like he filed a grievance about pay discrimination and is accusing the league of blackballing him. I mean, who doesn't want to sign a 30+ player who tore both Achilles and hasn't played since 2016 and productive since 2014?

And Peyton ultimately proved it just like Lamar still needs to, so that's sort of a non sequitor. I personally haven't been all that impressed with him in the bigger games I've seen (Chiefs game aside) and the results haven't been favorable thus far. Still very early in his career though, so lots of time to change that perspective.

A la Chris Gamble. Not saying Henderson's at that level for sure, but Gamble was the same way and is arguably the best corner Carolina's had (especially when longevity is factored in), definitely top 3.

Sorry for the poo, but there just is no other choice in this situation.

So Louisville has a thing for putting out QBs who cave under pressure, eh? In all seriousness Lamar showed a lot during that Chiefs game; I fully expected another fold. Needs to do it a bit more to shake the stigma, but promising.

Week 4? Nah. A win is big but a loss is not the end of the world by any means, particularly coming off of the injuries in Houston. This team seems to have some resiliency and would bounce back, maybe even better.

Says a lot about the type of team they want to be and where they believe things stand as of today. I don't know anything about Henderson so can't comment about that but on paper it does seem like good value. Also, interesting that another Panthers TE castoff joins Manhertz down in Jacksonville.

I must also say that your screen name is one of the best on here. A true classic.

Agreed overall but man, looked like 5 guys executing 3 different protection schemes there. Just complete and utter failure.

Teddy's in a great place for him - somewhere with a high-quality defense, some other offensive talent to do the heavy lifting, and that has been starved of even reasonable QB play for so long that his low-risk, high-percentage style looks amazing. It helps a lot that they've played the Division 2 of the NFL so far but with that defense Denver might sneak into the playoffs as a Wild Card (assuming the Chiefs wake the hell up) and bow out in the first or second round a la Alex Smith as the peak. For Denver fans, that will be amazing this year. No question though that Carolina is better off and I still speculate that Teddy drank his own Kool Aid and needed a dose of humility that he likely got after last season. He never should have been brought to Carolina in the first place but what's done is done and everyone is better off with him elsewhere. Sam is looking cautiously promising with plenty still to prove. it's encouraging that he seems to have already made some strides vs last year in NY.

Barry Switzer sure does, though.

But Fields said the game was slow for him...

Color me shocked.

Eh, little early for a definitive statement but very promising so far. Of note to me is that he's consistently looking better than he did in NY (still some hiccups of course) while Teddy looked exactly how he always has during those first games last year. I bring this up because the staff is the common denominator. Getting improved performance like this is a big plus IMO.
