Lol Al was a poor man’s Rucker

A poor man's Al Wallace? That’s a pretty low assessment.

If I had a vote for HOF Smitty would get it.

You are right If you hold people to those guys’ standard - HOF - it’s gonna be crickets. We need to aim a little lower. Maybe our team best, like Gross or someone similar would be an all time Panthers great even though the league overlooks him.

I think Brown is as good as anyone we have had. On Jenkins’ level. IMO. Jenkins has more around him.

And always the picking opposite sides of a topic for their fake debates.

Brown. I want to say TMac but he is young. Freeling but even younger and totally untested - he has the raw material for it though. If he is the real deal we might have one there. I think Scourton is going to be very good but all time?

They let a.lot come to them which took much patience. i think the D will take a few weeks on the field to form up but I have high hopes that this bunch, healthy, is a strength.

I never saw people give Simpson much credit. I really haven’t cared or looked at him. But I am going to go with McVay seeing what he is looking for and acting on it. And thinking he knows his stuff so let’s see in a year or two.

I am a fan. What he does draft wise allows them to be more in the moment. To make sound decisions faster. Less pressure from the clock because you are prepared and you trust the analysis Q: What if we trade out of a slot and lose 5 slots? We like these players A: 85% chance that at least one of players A B and/or C will still be there. And they can debate that in 30-60 seconds probably because they have done their homework. And because they are getting good information. Im trying to think of a real expensive trade up and can’t really. They move around and are aggressive but conservative with the stakes, these trades haven’t been blockbuster. OTOH Dan will spend blockbuster money on FAs no problem. Fwiw I like the way they balance the draft and FA.

That is possible. I suppose the fact that he didn’t get picked up at a better price (for him) and was sitting there having to accept a prove it deal, might say he was already at least halfway there. To crickets. I have a feeling he will get playing time and a chance to show he is capable. He could parlay this season into a contract here if it goes well for him. A prove it 2027 at RT could happen too. We have no clue what will unfold in the next 12 months right now.

I haven’t done Proton because I have an email there, free version. My most modern laptop went down w/ a busted screen and I am unsure of the password. The iPad counterpart also was mangled in a freak accident. Unrepairable. No help there. if you reset your password Proton takes your previous data and just zaps it. You lose access to it. I guess I preferred not using it and maybe remembering or locating the password vs zapping my inbox and sent mail and all that stuff. I am gonna just cross my fingers and hope the information that the new servers will see gmail no problem, is the reality.

Btw it was proposed in a post that we should trade Walker if he doesn’t beat Freeling out - we should not trade any talent from the OL. If he gets unhappy, maybe a different situation

Are we serious? He wins two straight division titles and there are actually still people who don’t want to re-sign him?

There is big winning and there is not as big winning. LA is in big winning mode. Now. We are in that other one.
