I mean when you have an opportunity to lock up a bottom of the roster QB no one else would touch prior to his college coach landing an NFL gig, you just can't pass that up.

My glass is dry and shattered on the floor regarding Matt Rhule.

Is Andrew Luck secretly trying to be one an evil psychotic early oil tycoon?

Time and a coach. Fitts seems to be smart and know what he's talking about. I wish he'd gone hard at Tepper and convinced him that his college coach ain't gonna work out at this level, but Rhule played a big part in Fitts being here so I doubt the knife comes out from under the cloak unless he feels his job is on the line.

Honestly, I can't really disagree but I'm a football junkie. In a good year, my Tar Heels will have 3-4 guys looking at getting drafted. Bama has 3-4 guys looking at getting drafted in the 1st ROUND most years.

This is starting to sound like the over the top Appaloosa Model praising...

Don't get me wrong, there are tons of salary cap tricks available but at the end of the day you still have to target and pay the right guys. Aging and/or injury prone guys are very rarely the right guys.

Sam seems like a legit good dude but I wish he'd just laugh and say, "Listen, y'all think I give a fug? This damn fool is on the hook to paying me $18M next season no matter what! I don't give a fuuuuuuuuug!!!"

But just like in Monopoly, you can still go broke. Lots of dead future money tied up in aging and/or injury prone players was Hurney's favorite way to accomplish it.

You gotta hold the line with CMC. Roll the dice he stays healthy. If he doesn't, move on. If he does, yay.

Stunningly handsome with a neck easily distinguished from my face

We absolutely cannot restructure CMC. Restructuring aging and/or injury prone players is a big part of what got Hurney in such cap hell.

It's a helluva lot easier to gain strength to deal with power than gain quickness to deal with speed.

Based on what we've seen out of Rhule's ability to evaluate NFL QBs, ask him who he wants and then

If Christensen is the LT, then #6 has to be QB or trade down IMO.

I am. I said I was done watching as long as Rhule is the Panthers coach. I didn't watch the last three games. Hell, why would anyone? Continuing to cheer on an incompetent organization doesn't make you a "good fan". It makes you a sucker. If Tepper cared enough and/or was competent enough, he's get rid of Rhule. He either doesn't care or he's incompetent. I hope he learns. Until he does, I'm not watching.

To trigger you.

The obvious move last year was QB, OL, or trade down. The obvious move this year is QB, OL, or trade down. Here comes a safety!

Frighteningly believable. 7-8 wins could be spun as "progress". Hell, I'd be willing to roll with it if it was with a promising rookie QB.

They're in Matt Rhule's man purse now.

Yep. But he won't have the guts to hold a presser then either. If he was getting hammered by the press today why he was sticking with Rhule he would've been up there stammering and stuttering just like his clueless college coach was when asked about Darnold's option.

But pressure was coming from the right instantly on every play. Their RT looked like Remmers in SB50.

I honestly don't think it's a money thing. I think he's either a true believer (which is a horrifying thought given Rhule's blatant incompetence) or he knows he fuged this up royally but he's scared of fuging it up royally again because he really thought he nailed it the last time so he's just hiding in embarrassment hoping beyond hope that somehow it'll all just get better. Sadly in either case, Tepper is a trash owner.

So you watch the Chargers last night? They don't. Herbert still looked like a stud.

It deeply saddens me to say as a massive Cam fan, but I think Cam is probably done. He's a faint shadow of his former self. With that said, at least we have the fond memories. Everyone is going to spend the rest of their lives trying to forget Matt Rhule and Sam Darnold.
