Davidson Deac II

It has hit him. Doesn't have the deep ball that he did. And back in the old days, he made some pretty average offensive groups look great. Don't get me wrong, he is still good, and is cool as a cucumber in crunch time, but needs more talent around him to win now.

If Darnold bombs, this board will be a trainwreck regardless. Fields being good will only make it worse.

If he is cleared, yes. Otherwise, no.

If we go into Nov/Dec competing for a playoff spot and we need a competent backup, wouldn't mind it. Otherwise, just don't see the need.

I can't help but wonder if the "Hill is the favorite to start" mantra is simply the coaches way of motivating Winston, keeping him on edge. That being said, personally I hope Hill is the starter when we play them.

After a 130 pass attempts for his career? I am not sure he is better than Jimmy Clausen at this point.

If we were a serious contender, then I would say get Foles in case the starter goes down for a couple of games. Probably not worth it at this point though.

You are right, but its not just image. There is a very practical reason to have doubts. If Watson has had this type of behavior in the past, that increases the chance we will see more of it in the future. Maybe he learns his lesson and behaves better, but maybe not. And to get him, we are going to have mortgage our future, and Tepper might be hesitant to do it on a maybe.

Fwiw, we were second in the league in Sacks in 2019. Our defense was still horrible. In fact, it was probably the worst Panthers defense I have seen in 25 years of being a Panther fan.

If Darnold looks solid, we won't be a contender. If he doesn't, then who knows what might happen.

While it was a decent series, I have to admit that watching the last 2-3 episodes, well it felt more like Dr Who than Marvel.

1. 80% of the time, they can rely on him 100%. lol. In all seriousness, the best thing they can do is not put him in a position where he needs to set an NFL record for us to win. 2. To early to tell. 3. Give him some help. And I think they certainly have tried to do that in the offseason. 4. Hopefully, he won't be in on every play this year. That might help. 5. Good offensive line, solid run game, and good defensive play so that he doesn't have to shoulder the load.

I would just say that Sacks alone can't be the criteria used to judge a players performance. But if you consistently get a lot of them, odds are you are a pretty good defensive end.

I have no idea how Fields will work out, but if he does turn out to be a very good, it certainly wouldn't be the first time multiple NFL teams passed on a future star.

My entire family (11 of us including sisters, grandparents, nieces and nephews) got vaccinated. 5 got Pfizer, 1 got Moderma, 5 got Johnson and Johnson. They all worked like a charm.

Butch Davis also did it. And he did it at Cleveland, which should count twice.

Wife had to work today, and is working very early tomorrow, so we aren't doing much. Probably takeout from the Local Italian place. But I am off tomorrow, so the highlight of the weekend will be going to see two of my oldest friend tomorrow for a liquid lunch. Haven't seen them since the pandemic started.

Lots of Restaurants shutting their doors. I know of at least five staple restaurants in Winston that have shutdown for good recently. Just can't afford to stay in business anymore. The food business has always been precarious, and its far worse now, especially for the local places.

If you look at the last five DT's drafted in the top 15 (including Brown), none of them are considered elite pass rushers. The only one that even comes close is Quinnen Williams.

Three words for you, Robot pool vacuum. R2D2 won't let you down. Just kidding, I have no idea how well they work.

Last time I met with my financial advisor, she was drinking starbucks. This thread does remind me of a guy I worked with a few years ago. He complained to high heaven about people wasting their money on Starbucks five dollar coffee. Then he would hit his favorite watering hole and spend similar amounts on craft beer. I don't have any problem with people spending money at Starbucks or on craft beer. Most of us can afford it and still set aside for retirement. But almost all of us spend money on things we don't need. No point in singling out others who spend it on things we don't like. Personally, if I had taken all the money I spent on the Panthers over the years and instead invested it, my portfolio would be a lot larger.

Interesting twist at the end. Will have to see how it works out.

If we need someone to give the secondary practice at getting interceptions, Grier is the man.

In fairness, he got 1500 plus yards with Jameis pick six Winston as his qb.

Charlotte might, but I think the state government doing it depends on who is in charge. I don't imagine Tepper is very popular with the current state legislative leaders.
