Yeah, I wouldn't hope too hard. Carr's worst year would be Teddy's best. Carr is just a lot better.

I think the WFT should keep him forever.

He did. But it was all about that offensive system. It was painfully dumbed down and simplified. My concern with Herbert was that may have been due to his abilities or perceived abilities by the staff. Turns out, that's just their offense and now their starting QB is transferring. Probably because he doesn't want to keep running a HS offense and wants to show the NFL he can do more while also preparing himself to actually do more.

It's less about how the looked in college and more about how the traits and skills transfer to the NFL. When Fields has struggled in the games I've watched, it's when he has to come off of his first read. That's gonna be a problem in the NFL. If he can't develop the ability to go through a progression he's not a starting NFL QB. It's not necessarily a crushing indictment though. Herbert was the same story at Oregon.

I honestly think Wilson is every bit the long shot than Watson, hell maybe even longer to be honest. I think the Jets are taking him.

Hell, I'd be for signing him back if he was still the guy we drafted. At his best he was among the best guards in the league. Then he got paid and the waistline and body fat percentage grew with the paycheck.

Seemed like he got fat and lazy after he got paid.

Yep. Honestly, with our weapons in our system I think he'd be top 10 possibly flirting with top 5.

Tepper got gamed IMO. He probably pushed Ron for significant changes and got sold on this BS instead of firing Ron like he should've.

Yeah... I don't know about that. I've been pretty vocal that if Gruden dumbly decides to move on from Carr we should be all over that, but he's nowhere close to Russell Wilson IMO and I despise RW. I haven't seen anything from Carr to indicate that he's capable of MVP caliber play but I do think he's capable of consistent top 10 QB play in the right system and that's good enough IMO.

He just seems fake as fug. We have some mutual friends who went to HS with him who swear he's legit but he seems worse than ever after marrying that pop star.

I really don't care what our division rivals do. I already can't stand Russell Wilson so as far as I'm concerned he'd fit in perfectly in N.O.

I don't celebrate the guy failing to find work, but I do hope the days of "core special teamers" are over in Carolina. If you're a liability on the field on your side of the ball be it offense or defense, you need to be replaced. It's not hard to find special teams gunners. I would make an exception for a truly elite return man, but I would bet on Joe Brady finding a way to utilize him on offense.

If those players help keep our QB upright, fine.

I'd bet good money on us targeting at least one vet OL and DB. I'd prefer to target slot WR in the draft though. There are a lot of good looking mid-round prospects there. There's also an outside chance that Samuel won't have the market he expects. He may opt to sign a short term deal to hit the market again next year. If that's the case, IMO we'd be his best bet. Brady has shown to be adept at using him.

I'm still kinda dumbfounded that Oregon staff is THAT dumb. They treated him like he was the dumbest guy on the planet so I kinda had to assume he was. So many single reads, half field reads, and in crunch time they acted like the forward pass was no longer allowed. Morons.

I absolutely agree with this. A lot of people gave me hell about my opinion on Herbert but it was 100% based on what he was able to show in that Oregon offense. If he can't do anymore than what he's showing in this offense, he can't play QB in the NFL and surely a staff wouldn't be so dumb as to handcuff a top 10 talent... right? Wrong! And it's probably why Shough is transferring. Physically, he's very similar to Lawrence IMO. Lawrence is probably the more naturally gifted runner, but Herbert's arm talentis probably a bit better IMO.

Tough to score TDs with a QB who doesn't throw the ball into the endzone.

Well, I guess they wrapped up their QB draft evaluations. Go ahead and pencil in Zach Wilson to the Jets at #2.

If I'm gonna take a shot at an inconsistent QB, I'd take a shot at a far more talented prospect who has played at a much higher level in Fields.

Kellen Mond? Yeah, he's gonna have to ex-spleen that one.

If there's a similarity to the mortgage crisis going on, it's the moratorium on foreclosures. When all these moratoriums expire we will definitely see a flood of foreclosures hit the market because it'll be a year's backlog to work through but we'll have to see how that impacts the market. Given the short supply the market seems well positioned to absorb it. If you're sitting on a house that needs significant updating, I'd be selling that thing right now though. I'm seeing a lot of those types of houses selling for premium prices right now. Once the foreclosure market comes back those types of properties will see a significant hit.

Where's the "Half-ass it for Howell" option?

LOL! What?

Yep. I have no hate toward Jones as a college QB. Dude lit it up. Trask neither for that matter. But I don't want any part of either as the Panthers' next starting QB.
