There was a certain DL out of Mississippi State who we should all recall...

There had to be something. Hopefully he works out. Robby Anderson was a self admitted complete knucklehead and he figured it out. Wouldn't surprise me if Rhule already has Robby in his ear.

Just terrible.

I don't own the jersey of a single current Panther, but if this happens I'll buy a Sam Darnold jersey and you can hold me to that one.

CMC wins comeback player of the year

Joe, how many times and from what height were you dropped on your head as a child?

I expect us to bring in a vet at FS to compete. Which vet? I have no clue. But I'll be surprised if we don't bring in someone.

That guy is such a disappointment. I was really happy when we drafted him. I thought he had the potential to be the best TE in that draft class. Then he showed promising potential as a rookie. It was all downhill from there. He's gotten worse every year since then. I don't know what the issue there is, but it's disappointing.

Can he play FS?

Oh, it's definitely gonna be alright. We're Panthers fans. Not like we can't take sucking. LOL! Any fairweather fans are long gone at this point.

Yeah, that's uh... that's not what I've been arguing.

You definitely haven't seen Sam Darnold play, I take it?

As much as I did NOT want Mac Jones if that was our guy I could've learned to live with that too. It's just that the bust rehab efforts have an abysmal track record. People want to hang their hopes on the Ryan Tannehills while overlooking the reality that Tannehill was FAR better in Miami than Darnold has ever shown any hope to be. Darnold would have to improve dramatically to get to Miami Tannehill levels.

I have some hope. More than I had with Teddy. But it's definitely a long shot. I think Darnold has the physical talent and I never thought Teddy did. I just don't know that Darnold has it between the ears and I never thought he did. I called Darnold as a bust in the pre-draft process that year. Just never bought into him. Still don't. Hopefully he proves me wrong but if he doesn't I hope we cut bait on him as quickly as we did with Teddy I'm just not sure that'll happen without the GM change that went along with that last decision.

It would no doubt assist on marketing efforts, but Tepper gas been vocal that the three key elements to a consistent winner are coach, GM, and QB. He saw the opportunity to get the QB. Rhule and Fitterer need to be right on this one. Of they aren't and they're losing their job security could go south in a hurry

The rest of the list includes the long, long list of QBs who never worked out.

I think it'd be hard to sell Rodgers on coming here. I bet the Niners wish Rodgers had brought this whole thing to a head well before they made that very aggressive trade up to #3 because that's where Rodgers really wanted to go and I'm sure they would've loved to have had him. They would've probably given GB that package for Rodgers instead of giving it to Miami for #3.

Yeah, Tepper believed in him. Likely still does. But if Darnold flops and the guy Tepper wanted in Fields succeeds and we're Rhule has yet to out together a winning season after three years (two years from now)... well, at the least those meetings are gonna start to get awkward.

Too early to say, but FS and C seem pretty safe bets. Then there's the will he or won't he question with Darnold much like Teddy last year.

If we're still flailing after two years we might be "on to the next one" with the staff too. Moving on from Teddy quickly gives me hope that this staff can recognize their mistakes and move past them quickly, but you can only swing and miss at QB while putting up bad records for so long before you're deemed the problem.

Was I? Tepper wanted him. That's what I said. What I was wrong about was that Tepper would give the staff the nudge they needed to get them over the hump to make the pick. Time will tell whether or not that was the right call.

You're super emotional. That's okay, but your continued denial of it is hilarious. Everyone "called me out" on Teddy last year too. It'll be different here. Joe Brady's system. Weapons. CMC, Moore, Samuel. Teddy will take the next step. All sounding familiar? You're a fan so you desperately want Darnold to be successful. Hell, that's understandable. I'd love to be wrong. I hope Darnold is the SB MVP next year. History is just stacked heavily against this. So, I guess just keep being emotional and lashing out because it's funny.

It's probably gonna be Burris and FS will be high on our shopping list next off-season. We weren't gonna solve all our issues in one off-season but I did expect some competition to be brought in at FS.

I just get entertained by how you always put up a front of being this neutral fan but always get super emotional and combative when someone has a differing opinions.

When you have to go back decades to find your examples and even those are a stretch... oh wee mayne. It's basically exactly my point. It's a long shot.
