He's a raw but very talented 3rd round pick. What were they expecting? Lamar Jackson? Gotta have realistic expectations. Willis basically needs a redshirt year at the NFL level. Just enjoy seeing the flashes of talent and maybe next year at this time you can start to understand what you might have in him. Panthers fans should be taking the same approach with Matt Corral.

I don't care if the team headquarters is a dilapidated double wide trailer in Gastonia and neither would anyone else if we were winning.

Year 7 of the process is probably occurring at somewhere like Wake Forest.

This coaching staff is desperate to try to save their jobs. Of course they're going to ride the hell out of their most talented player. They have nothing to lose.

You have to be hopeful about a 1st rounder until you're sure he's a bust.

Not really. Hell, I don't even think the Steelers are all that interested. Last I saw, he was still #3 on the depth chart. Not exactly what you're hoping for out of a 1st round QB. With a mid-round guy you're anticipating him to be a developmental prospect but you'd hope that 1et rounder would come in and at least challenge for a starting role. Especially given the guys in front of him

Selfishly I'm going to see a lot of Sam Howell and Matt Corral. They were my #1 and #2 QBs in this draft class.

I'm not surprised. He was asking him about pivotal plays. Those are likely ingrained in his head after untold hours of film study.

We have some good family friends who are first generation Italian Americans. They say pizza is the one Italian food that America does better than the Italians. With that said, obviously Domino's is not our finest offering.

I'd take a deflated football signed by Tom Brady.

He was 300 pounds as a HS recruit. http://www.espn.com/college-sports/football/recruiting/player/_/id/217018/mekhi-becton He was 364 at the Combine. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/mekhi-becton/32004245-4381-4547-3cf4-9d445d134d9a He hit 400 last year. https://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/jets_ol_mekhi_becton_reached_400_pounds_last_season_amid_recovery_from_knee_surgery/s1_127_37446762

Becton is a talented guy but everyone knew the weight would cause problems if he didn't get in better shape. He hasn't and it is.

Jerking the tag out from under Norman at the last second absolutely gutted that locker room and ensured we'd suffer the dreaded SB loss hangover.

They're really insisting on this joke of a "competition". Meanwhile, what is this staff's obsession with Pat Elflein? He's pretty terrible.

And Julio Jones just doing whatever he wanted to do against that rag tag secondary of rookies and cast-offs. I swear he could've gone for 500+ yards that day if they really wanted to be dicks about it.

Hopefully a lot. The scheme will be super vanilla. No reason not to give the kid plenty of run.

Darnold literally has negative trade value. You can't include him in a trade as an asset.

Based on what?

I had a turf toe injury on my right big toe about four years ago. I have nearly constant low level annoying pain and it flares up significantly from time to time. Custom shoe inserts have helped significantly and it seems to get better and better over time but this is FOUR YEARS later. That's an average NFL career length.

I'd say Baker has shown that he can be top 20 and has the potential to be top 10 if he can play up to it. That a helluva lot better than Darnold who might be top 50. Might be.

Truth. The one common thread between all the different extreme and/or fad diets is avoiding sugar, processed foods, and simple carbs. Makes sense to pretty much just start there since those are the things that virtually everyone can agree on. Keto, vegan, vegetarian, carnivore, Mediterranean, whatever... they're all trying to avoid or at least significantly limit sugar, processed foods, and simple carbs.

Considering we're still waiting on Darnold to take his first preseason snap as a Panther I guess I won't be holding my breath.

You can't imagine Rhule and company not playing a newly acquired QB in preseason?

It's especially brutal for big guys. Lots of big men have had careers ended or derailed by recurring foot injuries. There are a lot of small structures doing a lot of work and when they get compromised it's tough. We all saw it with Greg Olsen.

It's been plainly obvious since we made the deal for awhile that we have moved on from Darnold. The comments coming from the organization as soon as the season ended screamed it. The deal for Mayfield cemented it. This "competition" is and has been a farce. The splitting of reps is idiotic and self defeating. We aren't fooling anyone, especially if we're openly shopping the guy. Once again, we're displaying for all to see that this organization is fuging amateur hour.
