We got Draft picks for Little, who has proven he can't play in this league, and Perryman, who ANYONE could have signed as a FA. Don't doubt for a minute that Fitterer is on the phones trying to trade people up until 9pm (my time) tomorrow.

Don't they quite like Fox inside on obvious passing downs? That leaves you with Haynes, Burns YGM and Johnson at DE in a 4-3 base. Haynes, Burns and Reddick (and maybe Luvu) if you stand them up at OLB and play 3 DL.

He's been playing with the second and third stringers - I assume to just give him as many reps as possible. He's too talented to trade away this early. I also think he contributed last year - we've just reinforced the position in the offseason.

I had to poo that for the pure disrespect to the greatest college programme in history. Perryman was traded because he literally didn't practice all TC and he made the team liable for forfeits if a COVID outbreak occurred because he refused to be vaccinated. He quickly turned himself into a problem player - which is baffling because he never has been before. Rhule clearly values STs greatly - I hope we can find ourselves a worthwhile K/PR as currently we don't have anyone dynamic on the roster. He's determined not to give up those hidden yards though.

I would always carry 3 QBs. Unfortunately this year we have a clear starter and 2 guys that will lose you games if they have to play. It's got to be on Fitterer and Rhule's list of things to fix next year.

He's a better C than Paradis, play him there. He's too small to play LG imo.

Out of interest, do you ever have anything positive to say about this team?

He's active and he's athletic which is more than half the battle. With how weak or LB corps is he's a welcome addition to the roster.

We seem to be running out of ammunition for my predicted LG / LB trades. I wonder if we're actively trying to trade some of the guys we're about to cut. I'd be on the phone to Detroit about their WR situation if I was Fitterer. David Moore looks mighty tempting right about now.

There's no chance a guy with an NFL OT body is making it through waivers. Those guys are as rare as hen's teeth in this day and age.

We haven't seen Erving and Elflein (he should play C) in action, but we're still crucifying them. Crazy.

I like the graphic they've used:

You can never have enough good pass rushers.

We cut 6 guys then went radio silent. He wasn't on that list.

He was Darnold's #2 receiver last year. Couldn't even make it out of camp with the Lions.

Too early to say that, but I will say he looks every inch of the 5 star prospect he was rated as coming out of High School.

Let's be honest, if he came in and performed like Alex Smith did with the Chiefs (5 winning seasons in a row) he'd be the best QB to ever suit up for the Panthers. But once again it's more people disrespecting how good a QB Alex Smith was more than anything.

Just a bloke that was drafted in the first round as a C... and another bloke that was drafted in the first round who played C in college.

Wouldn't he have to clear waivers first before it becomes a bidding war?

The thing I like most about Horn is the video he put up on his YT account (I don't follow it, it was just linked somewhere) where he went to train with Xavier Howard and co. I think in Miami. Anyway, he picked up their coaching tips instantly. That, coupled with his freaky length and athleticism, is incredibly exciting. I don't think many people will be moaning about not taking Player X with that pick in a few years time. He's that good.

I'm very disappointed we weren't in on the Minshew trade - that would have solved a lot of problems. Right now we're picking between the tallest midgets at QB. Grier has played better in pre-season, but if either one has to start for any extended period of time we're boned.

I wouldn't be surprised if we trade for an OG and a LB. I'd love to trade for a backup QB too.

(yes, I know that's not Jordan - his quote wasn't in the gif bank!)

I don't take anything Rhule tells the media on face value. He spoke positively about Perryman, then had him traded the next day. He said Slye was working hard and just going through one of those periods, then cut him the next day. The OL group isn't set in stone yet - they're clearly desperate to get Christensen involved in the mix somewhere (he's played at 3 different positions in these pre-season games) and all Brown has done is win. Paradis is terrible too - that can't be allowed to continue. Move Elflein there and stop the bleeding.

David Moore has 13 TDs in the NFL. How many do Saunders, Cannon and Zylstra have?
