Do you hear this type of stuff being said about DB? Parsons has the diva aura. I stay away from that type of player. A lot of players would say something positive rather than deal with the heat. Especially if they want him out. I feel when players are outspoken about how selfish you are, knowing it will be reported, that is very telling.

I think you heavily underestimate the value DB brings. He set an NFL record for tackles by a DT in 23'.

I don't see how you are saying I am painting him any sort of way. I told you my gut feeling, based on nothing, and provided a quick AI overview seemingly garnered from public opinion backing that up. Here's a more in depth look. Public Spats: Parsons has been involved in public disagreements with former teammates, media members, and even the Cowboys' owner, Jerry Jones. Perceived Selfishness: Some have criticized his focus on individual accolades over team success, with one former player calling him the "most selfish player" on the team according to a Yardbarker article.

I was chatting with a buddy of mine and we both had the same perception of Parsons unprompted. I don't know how the idea got there, as I largely only focus on Panthers content. A quick Goog as we say seems to back that perception up, though. "Candid and emotional, public spats, and internal friction." Were listed. Brown has been pretty much perfect in his time here in my eyes.

I would not like this move at all. I feel Brown is severely underrated here. He still shows up and gets the job done. Bringing on double and even triple teams. Our defense was deplorable last year. Brown missing was a large part of that. I don't like Parsons fit as far as attitude or compensation. Brown has been a favorite player of mine in his time here and has given me no reason to think otherwise.

Just what I read somewhere on Reddit, but I could be remembering wrong. Agree with it showing on the field being the most important. Just a strange situation. I guess he had to have choked, but that's not a good characteristic haha.

I love the roster churning. I also heard Jimmy was talking about breaking the combine 40 record and then wasn't even close. Just odd to me the legend of Jimmy's speed. He was also apparently terrible at the 3 cone. Odd.

I think Chuba said it well in the post practice interview. "Nobody is really thinking about how they are going to hit somebody, they are just trying to make plays." Or something to that effect. Don't want to botch his quote, but that was the idea.

That is what he is saying he is doing NOW. Actions speak louder than words. If he sandbagged it for whatever reason before, that is not a good sign for his "football DNA." Talk is cheap. Trust me, I want him to be the best. He is my wife's favorite player, and after Luke and TD left, we had some dark times where she was so hurt she was claiming she would never care about this team again lol.

Sounds like it was a heat of the moment thing. I just listened to Chuba's interview after practice and he was complimenting Wallace for playing hard. He kept saying he loved it. This is what we need boys.

I like the optimistic perspective.

I would love for things to be different, but we can't help but see it. I have already been more impressed with how TMac carries himself. It seems he would rather just be a star without putting the work in. Maybe he can be, but I doubt it will be on the field.

I think they just find guys that are most likely to get opportunities and it is an easy pick here with how our linebacker room looks right now.

Smart money.

I wasn't trying to criticize the grammar at all. It's the way he worded it. Sounds like a chore. I would rather him "love" his job. I want him to want it.

That's what I meant with the tuck. It should be muscle memory. I hope he turns out to be the star we all hope him to be. He's a player my wife has attached to, so I am definitely rooting for him.

Trying to do anything I got to? I don't like the way he says that. I want him to work out, but the more I learn about him, the more he seems to just not have that elite mindset. Would love to be proven wrong. On the last highlights from camp I watched, he still wasn't tucking the ball correctly to run. He adjusted, but I want that type of thing to be automatic, not something he has to think about.

It is the time of year for hopium, and I embrace it. I get that. I am biased. I feel I should be. But you know they don't actually pay attention to us. They aren't going to change their opinion of us no matter how much we "win" the off-season until we show it on the field, and I get that angle too. Not like it benefits them to be high on a small market team like us. I am a fan, and I am here to ROOT.

I mean, it could be just me, but I feel we are at hype levels we haven't seen in a LONG time. Now, whether it is warranted or not, remains to be seen, but I am not the least bit upset that they are sprinting down the current highway. I haven't been this optimistic about our roster in a long time. We have some of the best position groups we have had in a few areas. We only have one glaring weakness in my mind. (LB) When was the last time we could say that? Our WR room is so talented we don't know who is making the roster. Our offensive line is essentially fixed. A few years ago, we would have sold our souls just to say that about the line.

I don't know that it is the QBs that should be scared, but the big man certainly gets attention. He gets a lot of double and even triple teams to try to contain him, and that makes everyone else better. He is a scary man on the field.

I don't know that anything would get you excited at this time of year. It's a lot more fun to be optimistic, brother.

What rookies are they claiming Jimmy Horn Jr is cooking? Beating them by 4-5yards sounds crazy. We didn't have any rookie corners? Must be the new safeties, but still. Trevian Thomas ran a 4.45. I keep hearing about Jimmy's insane speed, I just don't understand it. I know game speed is different, and I am excited to see it, but just wow.

You saw our defense last year, right?

Agreed. Let's be optimistic and hope we get lucky. We should be high on the priority list, but I couldn't find the current order with a quick search. Everything was too outdated for me to quote confidently.

Quick glance says he is good against the run, but a liability in coverage. 2 down back. Might be the best available at this point, though.
