Don't get me wrong, I'd rather get Moton locked up long-term, I'm just saying that franchise tag this year and again next year is a viable option.

It's Shaq.

We aren't going to lose him. Hell, we can even tag him again next year if we have to. IMO, this is largely about LT or RT. I have a feeling the Panthers want to pay him as a RT and then play him at LT. Moton's agent probably isn't an idiot and sees right through that.

If the possibility of seeing people make positive comments regarding our former QB is so triggering for you, you could always just not click on the thread but invariably there you are in every thread about Cam like a moth to a flame.

And the haters are just fuging sad.

Not gonna happen. Hell, we'd almost certainly tag him again next year if we're forced to.

I think you'd be surprised.

Yes. 100% Smitty would get in over those guys. No contest.

The good news is that all of our best talent is still too young to be having HOF talk. Virtually all of our core players are 25 or under. Moton and Shaq are the "old men" of the crew at 27.

I honestly don't see it with Daley. His play hasn't been very good and he seems to be injury prone. That's a pretty terrible combination. I just don't think he has the feet to play OT. If he has a future in the NFL, I think it's at OG but we'll see.

Hell, it's why I sold last summer. It's shocking it's held up this long. But looking at median household income a and median home values, something has to give and soon. The math just doesn't compute. It hasn't for awhile. We were well above median household income and we'll below median home value in Evergreen and we still felt borderline house poor.

The only similarity is the college team they play(ed) for. The entire staff and schemes have changed over since Trubisky played. I became a true believer in Howell during the bowl game this year. He went up against the best defense in the SEC who had no bowl game opt outs and were looking to prove they had been snubbed from the playoffs, meanwhile his #1 WR and both 1000 yard RBs opted out. He still looked like Sam Howell despite multiple bad drops and predictably virtually no running game what so ever.

I wanted Sweat and absolutely did not want Gary. I thought Gary screamed bust. The measurables and production were just too far off.

Not sure which poll you're looking at. I'm seeing them ranked the previous week but dropping out of the rankings after losing their 2nd game of the year to an unranked Texas Tech prior to facing Baylor.

A lot of people didn't like it, but I did simply because our OL coach at the time was Oher's OL coach in Baltimore early on in his NFL career when he looked promising. His play dropped off after Matsko left.

Yep. We've repeatedly thrown trash at the wall. Oher turned out to be a really good signing. Sucks that concussions derailed his career. He seems to be getting his life together off the field at least after it looked like he was starting to go down a bad road. That's good to see. Then we paid the bad Kalil stupid money hoping that money would make him a better player. Shockingly, that didn't work out. Then Hurney over-drafted a guy in Greg Little who looked atrocious at the Combine and who very well may have been looking at a Deonte Brown type draft slide except for Hurney thinking he was outsmarting everyone. That turned out predictably.

Penn State was unranked.

They made their living doing exactly that in college. The problem is that this isn't college. And it's worth noting that their record against actual good (top 25) competition in college was abysmal. I think when I looked it up that the only two top 25 teams Rhule ever beat were ECU and Navy. Every other time he faced a top 25 team he lost.

RBs have a huge advantage in the YAC category simply because they catch so many passes behind or near the LOS. Most passes to RBs are basically extended handoffs.

I'm honestly surprised he didn't follow Rivera to WFT or McDermott to Buffalo for his scouting job. I mean, virtually everyone in the Panthers' organization he had connections to are gone now.

I don't think we'll need "decent" to upgrade our depth. Simply not atrocious might end up being enough.

Yep. Seems like a great dude. He's just not an NFL talent. It's amazing what he was able to accomplish at WVU. Hats off to that staff based on what I've seen from him outside of that system. When we drafted him, I didn't hate the pick. I didn't particularly like it, but I thought he'd end up being one of those good backup/marginal starter types. Nope. He's terrible by NFL standards. Not NFL starter standards, NFL third stringer standards.

Larry Allen strong, probably not. Hell, Larry Allen might be the strongest man in NFL history where pretty much every lineman is straight up freak of nature strong. But Deonte Brown is REALLY strong. Derrick Brown is freakishly strong and there's a video that I can't find right now of Deonte Brown pretty much picking him up and escorting him five yards downfield like he was a child when they were both in college.

Larry Allen He was elite on the '80s. Hell, one of the GOATs. He'd be a borderline roster player today.

He's really not mobile at all, especially in space.
