Oh, he's gonna get his money. He's an elite college QB talent. Very well may prove to be an elite NFL QB prospect. Someone is gonna pony up and it won't be surprising if a straight up bidding war breaks out. This might be the circus that's needed to make them do something rein this stuff in because it's just going to keep getting dumber.

Now we have college players doing training camp holdouts. Jay Bilas is right. They're going to have to move to signing these kids to contracts with negotiated buyouts just like they do for coaches.

Question for McMillan fans (or non-fans)
LinvilleGorge replied to Mr. Scot's topic in Carolina Panthers
I'm gonna lock this one. There was pages up on pages of spats about this when that video first came out. We don't need a replay of that. I know you were away for awhile so it get that you likely missed that poo show. LOL -
20 years since they've had a losing season...
-
Yeah, they thought that about Bryce too. Just because a guy is mentally ready doesn't mean he's ready if the playing style isn't plug and play also. Some of these guys have to relearn how to play the game at the NFL level in terms of what they're physically capable of. That's true to some degree with everyone but it's more true of guy's whose physical talent isn't top tier.
-
I think Sanders is very limited in his NFL projection. The way he played in college with his skill set does not translate. I'm not sure he's as plug and play as people think. You have rewire him in terms of how he sees the field and what he's physically capable of doing against NFL competition. Late last season gives us hope that Bryce has maybe done that but we had to endure a lot of ugly football to get that glimpse of hope. Playing Sanders early goes similarly IMO. They'd basically be drafting a slower, weaker armed Russell Wilson. How does that work out with lesser physical talent?
-
Staying put and drafting Jaxson Dart feels like much more of a Steelers move than trading into the top 10 to draft Sanders. Drafting Kenny Pickett #20 was a mistake but it wasn't the major setback that trading into the top 10 to draft Kenny Pickett would've been.
-
It's difficult for me to buy an organization as historically well ran as the Steelers doing something this colossally stupid unless somehow David Tepper has shadow purchased the organization.

He had 25 tackles in the fuging Super Bowl and played like a kamikaze pilot. Dan Morgan was fun as hell to watch as a player.

Greg Olsen nominated for Emmy over Tom Brady
LinvilleGorge replied to jfra78's topic in Carolina Panthers
Being forced to manage the finances of the organization in franchise mode fuging sucks. I don't care about ticket prices, concessions, merch, etc. I just want to play GM and coach. But I have tons of cap spade and I can't use it because the team isn't generating a profit. I don't care. Let me turn that poo off and just go GM mode. Previous editions I could. -
Greg Olsen nominated for Emmy over Tom Brady
LinvilleGorge replied to jfra78's topic in Carolina Panthers
I'm not even being a Homer when I say that Greg is a way better announcer than Brady. -
He's a special teamer and he should fire his agent if he truly had 17 teams vying for his services and he signed that contract. Me thinks that the 17 teams might have been a wee bit of a stretch. LOL That deal was probably the 2025 veteran minimum for a player with five years of NFL experience. You're telling me you had 17 teams putting offers on paper and you couldn't get any of them to move off of vet min? Fired.
-
He sucks and better safeties will be cut through camps elsewhere.
-
Wow. If he's getting a green room invite they're expecting him to go a lot higher than I was assuming. But it's a copycat league in a lot of ways and with Jalen Hurts just winning a SB there are probably going to be teams looking at Milroe and thinking they can turn him into Jalen Hurts and to be fair, Milroe at Bama pretty much looked just like Hurts at Bama. Hurts didn't turn into a legit passer until Lincoln Riley got a hold of him and transformed him from a guy who looked like he needed to switch positions into a Heisman candidate and 2nd round pick and honestly he would've gone significantly higher in the draft had that Bama tape not existed. It was hard to reconcile his Bama tape and his OU tape.
-
I don't love that Hendrickson is 30 but if we could get an instant impact top tier plug and play guy and still get Mykel Williams and basically only give up a 3rd? I mean... damn. But we all know that this would basically guarantee that Jalon Walker is the next coming of LT because that's just how Panthers luck goes. LOL

Ryan Fowler: Panthers hosting Texas A&M Shemar Stewart
LinvilleGorge replied to TheSpecialJuan's topic in Carolina Panthers
Yeah, loved Morgan as a player but our front office decisions since he's been here have been... well, oh wee mayne -
Honestly, this move "working out" would probably mean he secures a spot on the PS for a year or two while we try to turn him into a football player.
-
I'm fine with it. It probably won't work but whatever. It's all potential reward virtually zero risk.

Panthers bring in DT Walter Nolen for 30-visit
LinvilleGorge replied to TheSpecialJuan's topic in Carolina Panthers
Odds are that one of these two busts. Seems like anytime there's two DL on the same draft out of the same school it turns out that one was the real deal and the other one was riding his coattails. -

Oh, the odds of this organization fuging up anything is always a pretty safe bet. LOL -
Panthers bring in DT Walter Nolen for 30-visit
LinvilleGorge replied to TheSpecialJuan's topic in Carolina Panthers
Just don't be the least bit surprised when it fails because all those other stops along the way were probably thinking that same thing. It's the hot girl mugshot mentality. "I can fix her" they all say. LOL -
Panthers bring in DT Walter Nolen for 30-visit
LinvilleGorge replied to TheSpecialJuan's topic in Carolina Panthers
6 schools in 7 years or whatever it is for a guy with his talent level is one helluva red flag though. When problems keep following you around you'll probably find the real problem in the mirror. At the end of the day, wherever you go there you are.
