Luke was routinely regarded as the best MLB in football, earning DPOY honors twice when he was playing and of course Steve would have gotten more attention if he played in a bigger market, just like literally any other player, and doesn't imply a bias against Carolina specifically. Your own bias is strong here with those two.

Steve and Luke get a ton of credit and are/were always highly regarded, so while I don't disagree with the general point your inclusion of those two undercuts it. Also, Carolina has sucked in a boring way (nothing like the Jags/Meyer circus, Hue in Cleveland, etc) while DJ has been in the league and crappy teams don't tend to get attention. Nothing really new there.

No, it doesn't have to be that black and white when there could also be multiple picks on the table that are basically free money and change the balance of the equation. Neither of our opinions are wrong or anything more than speculation, but trading to 2 is absolutely a viable and possibly advantageous course of action.

That's the whole point of reading back, that you're still assured of getting a player you want and/or value as much as any other. We have no idea what the FO really wants to do and as such can only speculate, but the notion that they value more than one QB the same and would cash in on it if they could is perfectly logical.

Nah, you could also trade to #1 if there is more than one QB you like and the guys in #2 and/#3 (if applicable) aren't trading. Then you hold your cards close and trade down to get a guy you're just as happy with while recovering draft capital. Not saying that's the story, but I could definitely see it. Shrewd move overall.

I live in KC and was on the fence but with #1, feels like I have to roll up in my minty white Mills #51.

Exactly. It puts them fully in the driver's seat. Not a bad place to be.

As if the common sports media has any credibility at all.

That's the right decision unless/until he backs off his contract demands.

Is this like ooh wee mayne?

Eh, we've been saying this about NO every year for a decade now. I'm not saying it can be completely ignored, but it never seems to entirely bite them in the ass like it should.

FWIW Sauce has actually played in more games, 17 to Jaycee's 16, and that 16 is actually more like 15 based on when he got injured in those 2 games.

NFL types were saying that Rhule was a hot candidate too. I get the sentiment and this sure appears night and day different from that debacle, but what happens on the field is what matters. I'll give Tepper some credit for not being a dumbass in this search but that's as far as it goes at the moment... dude has a deep hole to dig out of before being 're-evaluated'.

Eww.

They did a good job with Kansas City as well. The skyline shots were the actual city, with one or two big liberties taken, and the downtown vibe was pretty darn accurate. The route they suggested out of town is actually somewhat grounded in reality as well, though again with some liberties taken.

Smith had openly talked about retiring after 2013, which probably drove some things the team did before that. I'm not saying Carolina handled it the best, but Smith was already winding down.

I need to see competence on display first but no question that it looks solid on paper so far, a far cry from the very obvious and predictable trainwreck that Rhule brought to town.

We've already had one used Carr in Carolina. Don't need another one.

I'm not offended at all - it's random stuff on the interwebs and even I rolled my eyes at Kelce's comments. It's always amusing to see what blanket statements get tossed out and every so often the chance to comment on them comes up. There are some real dumbasses around here just like everywhere but it's hardly everyone. Now to prep for the hundreds of thousands that will be out and about for the parade on Wednesday...

Soccer doesn't have nearly the same amount of abrupt cutting and starts/stops as football. Some, sure, but more forgiving of poorer surfaces IME.

I live in KC, have for many years. No, many, if not most, of them aren't.

Classifying an entire fanbase off of a ridiculous sterotype like that is pretty dumb. Kelce's comments were nonsense but this stuff is even moreso.

In the end, that fumbled ball ended up Hurting the most.
