to me, he is like Jake Delhomme--I think he can win in the league, and he would make a perfect bridge qb.

I think I posted somethng about Tune recently--like about 2 months ago--you are right

Now you see why I was in tank mode, dipshits? Those Lions and Saints victories are not longer making me feel like a winner, as if the sweet nectar of the Lombardi is dripping into my vision of the future. Not sure that ended the way I designed it, but it is a bit poetic, so I am staying with it.

No QB looks good without the OL doing its job--they were horrible.

The ACL can tear with both contact and noncontact maneuvers. Approximately 70 percent of injuries are noncontact and occur when the athlete is trying to change directions, slow down or land from a jump. You made me Google--does that change your mind? I saw Thomas Davis (at OTAs) injure his ACL (the second one) I happened to be looking right at him--and he was doing agility/warmup drills. Full Disclosure: I am not a medical doctor.

I don't know why or how, but I felt this was necessary.

He needs to keep some buckets of cold water nearby on draft day--I think we are going to aggressively move up.

I look at guys we just drafted--Barno and Brandon Smith--and see them as better fits in a 3-4. They are very athletic--Haynes should like it too.

I see your thinking, but I think Shaq will be a cap casualty--unless they extend him.

Good point--I think the cap situation will cost us Thompson, and that move will be made.

Settle down, wrangler. Think it through first.

This is a project that needs a QB, stud TE, and maybe a few holes filled on Defense. Get the QB and the TE, and I promise you, the offense is good enough to compete. Add a LB, Edge, and DB or two, and the defense is top 10. Six players will do it. Yes, more would be better, before some chime in with statements of the obvious. More better players is more better. We all get that concept.

Right. If we draft a QB this year, he develops for a year on the bench, we'd have to re-sign Darnold (speculation) and how much better off are we? Then we have 4 years left on a rookie contract, and the franchise has to wait for these first rounders to develop. We might as well take Herndon in the third round or so--his numbers in college were better--and he would be ready the same time AR or Levis would.

When people were bitching about Reich not being able to be here for 10 years, I posted stats that broke down the average career length for coaches who have won the super bowl and been in the super bowl and have not made the super bowl. The range was (going from memory) something like 4+ years for a Super Bowl coach and 3+ years for a non-super bowl coach. Found it--https://vikingsterritory.com/2020/general-news/the-nfl-head-coach-life-span-and-what-it-means-for-zimmer Other sites say the average length of time for an NFL coach before being removed is 3.2-3.3 years. Yikes.

That guy is a troll. He comes to a discussion board and attacks points with no support. It all started when they allowed the mixing of prescription drugs and low-cost wi-fi.

OK--here is how you specifically support your comment: Who in the current NFC South is better than Carr at QB?

Forgot all about that--this is a done deal, if you ask me.

I see what you did there!!

I think that makes sense. The Saints do not have a first rounder. I think the NFC S is appealing to Carr--where he can be the man. The Saints, however, are last in the NFL in Cap Room, so they will have to package a player or two--this could get very interesting

First Pick: Based on the draft order, team needs, etc. I think it is possible that the Colts trade up to #1 with the Bears. They will offer C Ryan Kelly (Bears need OL help now) or DL Deforest Buckner and their 2023 first, 2023 second and next year's 2024 second to the Bears, imo. I do not think the ponies will trade up unless they want Young or Stroud, probably Young, the most "ready to start" QB in the draft. Second Pick: Houston is also going after a QB. I think the Texans take Young if there is no movement, but the Bears will be making a deal. With that in mind, I expect Stroud will be a Texan. Third Pick: Duh. Arizona should take the best player in the draft--Will Anderson. Edge Bama Fourth Pick: Chicago knows they can trade back to #4 and get the second-best non-QB on the board--a DL from Georgia seems logical. Jalen Carter, DT Dawgs. If they trade back again, they could target an OT--fourth is high for a DT, but this one is worth it. Fifth Pick: Seattle probably stays put, unless a team thinks Detroit wants a QB. They could use and Edge, and Myles Murphy (Clemson) and Tyree Wilson (TxTech) are a toss up. Either one. I will go with Murphy, DE to the Hawks. However, the Raiders or the Falcons could move up, sensing the Panthers will be going after Levis--and then they take Levis. Drama. Sixth Pick: Why would the Lions not like QB Goff? CB is their biggest need, and I would not be surprised to see them trade out of #6 and still get the best CB in the draft. If a team loves Levis, this is what happens--a team moves up for Will Levis. That team is the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers send the #9 pick, the #60 pick in round 2 (from SF) to Detroit. Not a bad trade for either team. If the Colts stay at #4, it means they are targeting Levis.

Depending on what free agency does to the top 8, It could happen-- Houston and Indy are locks to grab a QB. Vegas and Atlanta as well. I think Atlanta, unless they liked Ridder (I have no idea), will not pass on a QB in the top 10 again this year. I think the PANTHERS will be very aggressive

That is funny- Several years ago--maybe 10 or more--my source for minor scoop was Brandon Beane. I used to share stuff that he told me (for some reason, we'd get our car inspected at the same place at the same time-he is from Stanly County)--and my best friend was close to him (Taught him in high School and coached him). It was SO funny when people on the Huddle would call me out, asking me for my source and then mocking me when I would not give him up (at the time, he was not a big name, but he carried Marty for a while and knew the draft). I don't blame them--I would call me out too. Beane would only give perspectives on players, not tell us who the Panthers were targeting, etc. I remember that he said (thru my friend) that 2x All American G Duke Robinson was not on his board, but MH loved him. Later, he said that he talked Marty out of drafting him 2 rounds before Marty did. (at the time, he was not the asst. GM--he was director of football operations, and he was fairly new--so he was proud of getting that right). Robinson was never good. He told us that he was trying to talk Marty out of taking him outright. He would tell us dark horses that were not on the major mock draft radar and tell us players who were projected in early rounds (in our mocks) who would not be drafted by anyone. He did tell us that they like Josh Norman once--but I do not think he would have told us that if Norman was a real serious target.

Wasn't Jim Bob Cooter on the Dukes of Hazzard? Jim Bob Cooter Personal life Cooter is from Fayetteville.[10] He was arrested for driving under the influence in June 2006, and was suspended from the Volunteers as a result.[5] In 2009, he was charged with aggravated burglary after climbing into a window and getting into a woman's bed.[10] The charges were later dropped.[11]

In case you are wondering, this article from December might have it right: https://catcrave.com/2022/12/04/carolina-panthers-david-tepper-will-levis/ It says, "A league source told the Observer's Ellis Williams that he heard Tepper has his sights set on Levis." Doesn't get more solid than third-hand, anonymous hearsay.
