Glad your brother is doing better! You don't have to apologize about your optimism. Even when I'm pessimistic about a move trust and believe I'll be happy if I'm wrong. I'd rather be wrong and it work out in the Panthers' favor than right and watching the Panthers struggle. I prefer my crow served with a side of Lombardi Trophy.

Nothing to do with being a mod. I used the same search function that's available to anyone.

So now you think having a washed up QB with a shot a is a good thing?

What? I simply did what he asked. He asked me to show him posts where he was unhappy that Cam is playing for us. Based on the opinions he had stated multiple times (those were literally the first search options searching his posts for "Newton") I think it's very fair to extrapolate that he's not happy Cam is suiting up for us. That is unless he has changed his mind and now thinks that a washed up QB with a shot arm (his words, not mine) is a good thing to have.

Did you talk to your breeder about hemangiosarcoma? That breed is wildly prone to it and it has a HEAVY genetic tendency.

This sucks to hear. Hopefully he comes through for you.

When the military trots his memory out there to glorify themselves (uh... I mean "him") they also leave out that inconvenient fact that he was killed by friendly fire.

Both would be in the league if it wasn't for off-field stuff and ego. Kap is definitely backup/marginal starter caliber. Denver offered him a contract reflecting of that. He was insulted by it. The Golden Calf of Bristol could definitely be a gadget player for someone. Sean Payton offered him the initial shot at what would ultimately become Taysom Hill's role. He had no interest. He only wanted to be a pure QB. Then he finally took a shot at TE for his old college coach when he was past his athletic prime. The folks who want to pretend like it's all conspiracy theory about these guys for political/social reasons have to ignore a lot of reality.

Just remember, you asked for this.

I love Rotties. Those are my dogs. I'll almost certainly always have one. We have our Rottie who will be 7 in December and our rescue pittie who is about 9 months old. I spent a good chunk of my professional life literally training veterinarians about nutrition. I was always baffled that I didn't get more pushback and questions. They just took my word on everything because of the logo on my shirt and I knew my poo up one side and down the other. Well, I started asking pointed questions on my own accord. If people are going to take my word on something, then I'm gonna ask the questions for them. The answers I got were good in some cases, marginal in others, and total dodging in a lot. There was some good research on some of the formulations. Very good data. Some of the others the data was marginal at best. Very small sample sizes or "results" that were within the expected margin of error. I went from hero to zero within the company very fast for calling this stuff out. I just didn't understand the "science". No motherfugers, I understand math and data. This poo your showing me is just that... poo. I walked. Sorry. I'm not going to be your pawn to continue misinformation campaigns. The whole DCM fiasco was the breaking point for me. The science on that was total dogshit. The FDA has since walked it back but that didn't get any publicity. Dogs are my entire professional life and most of my personal life. There are some very good, very ethical breeders out there. They're not the root of the majority of the breed related health issues. Backyard breeders breeding for pure profit are most of the issue. What I'm about to say next is gonna trigger some people, including a lot of breeders, but... the showring is the cause of most of the rest of the issue. Breeding primarily for cosmetic traits. Letting results in the showring lead to more and more exaggerated characteristics oftentimes to the detriment of the breed. LOTS of old school very good breeders have completely dropped out of showing. The person who literally wrote the book on AKC judging of Rottweilers is completely out of showing now. Won't have anything to do with it.

Cry more. I know it's devastating to you that Cam Newton is back. You had just gotten used to him being gone. You'd rather lose with bums like Darnold than win with Cam. Feel free to root for the WFT this Sunday. Trust me when I say that we won't miss you. Bum.

Hence why I said "the D and Cam". The D gave us the ball inside the redzone and at the 40.

I'm a Rottweiler guy. I've always had a Rottie and probably always will. A lot of people who have pure breeds don't want to accept the reality that breed related health issues are real. I'm not one of them. I have a Rottweiler. That means my dog will be more likely to have hip and/or elbow dysplasia vs. the dog population at large. More likely to have a genetic related heart issue (my breeder is actually working with NCSU right now trying to identify the gene sequence for aortic stenosis in Rottweilers because it's such an issue). My dog is more likely to develop cancer, especially osteosarcoma. It is what it is. It's just reality. Lots of popular breeds have issues. 50% of Cavalier King Charles will develop congestive heart failure by the time they're five. Virtually all of them will by 10. Literally 61% of Golden Retrievers will develop cancer. Boxers are so prone to cardiomyopathy that it's literally called Boxer cardiomyopathy. Irish Setters are the only dogs known to science to develop celiac disease. Genetics are real.

Which one do you want? And no, that's not a trick question.

Pure breeds by and large are going to have more specific health issues. It's just a matter of reality when you artificially narrow the gene pool. The breeds with the most issues are the ones with the most extreme features signifying significant selective breeding and the ones that have undergone booms in popularity encouraging scrupulous backyard breeding for a buck with little to no concern for ethical breeding practices.

I'd have a really hard time buying a pittie when every rescue is absolutely full of pit bulls.

Yes, PJ manage the game when the D and Cam spot him 14 points and the opponent is relegated to playing their 3rd string QB.

Hopefully we can eat some salary and trade him for something. That's what we had to do with Teddy. If not, just eat it and cut him. The cap hit is the same either way and he's useless on the roster.

Let me get this straight. You want this crew... to take flyers... on QBs??? Yeah, lemme go ahead and tell you how that's gonna work out. See: Bridgewater, Teddy and Darnold, Sam. When this crew goes rummaging around on the QB clearance aisle, they come home with pure tee poo.

Simms talked in that segment about how the people he knew in NE said Cam was a better leader during his time there than Tom Brady was. Like woah.

Yep. I honestly didn't expect the OL to look so much better but I'm not at all surprised that the WRs did. The Darnold slurpers always kicked me for calling out Darnold's hospital balls but look at how much better our receivers caught the football when they didn't have their heads on swivels wondering if Darnold was throwing them into another car crash.

With Darnold at QB with a few games under his belt in the system for DCs to get a look at and no CMC, you're losing to virtually everyone - as we saw.

I'm legit shocked there seems to be so much concern about essentially getting out coached and out schemed by Ron Rivera. That's hilarious. If that happens that'll be the most massive red flag ever.

Because the media contracts dictated that would be the team they shove down NC's throats as "their" team.

Seen our roster?
