I guess I should've just said Chad Johnson a.k.a. Ochocinco. Well, you don't listen to country if you've never heard of Luke Combs.

85 in Spanish. Luke Combs is a Panthers fan also.

A ruptured patellar tendon offers worse odds than an ACL. The fact is, no one knows his potential to return to form. It's certainly too early to know anything, especially from a fan's viewpoint. I hope he returns, but the fact is is that only around 50-55 percent of NFL players across all positions return at all from this injury according to Google AI, and roughly 22 percent of them return to their previous level of play after two years. For O-lineman it's likely even less considering their weight and movement requirements for the job. I truly hope for the best, but we can't count on him returning, much less returning to form. I tell you all this in order to inform you of the seriousness of the situation.

I'll trade Bryce and two firsts to move up to the first pick.

Ya win some, ya lose some. Legette looks to be a loss. The time for disappointment has passed. I expect nothing, so if I get something I will be surprised.

I got called into HR one time, as they were doing their research after a verbal altercation that I had with another employee. He was the one that started the sh¡t and had the nerve to go to HR. Well, I did the meeting, & the manager gave me her card & said if there was anything else I wanted to say regarding the investigation, to contact her. I thought about it later that day, so I used our company email and told her that I was willing to take a lie detector test, and that if he and his two friends were willing to do the same, once it was determined that they were lying and that I was telling the truth, then they would have to be punished accordingly. Funny thing is, after that, I never heard from her again, or anything about the investigation. It's like it never happened. Anyway, yeah 89 isn't doing himself any favors with this one. He wants to fight with a guy old enough to be his dad because of Rivera's lack of communication, even if there was some perceived hypocrisy going on. That's just not a good look.

Highly amusing, especially after a can of Sour Monkey.

I'm not like most people in this thread in regards to Love. I'm not like most in regards to RBs either. I think certain ones will always be drafted in the first round because they are valued that highly. From an on-the-field perspective, they are as valued as ever; business-wise and contract-wise at times to re-up, that's where things can get tricky with valuation. That being said, Love oozes potential and makes higher-ups' mouths water. I know that he if somehow he is available at 19, he will be considered if not taken. You don't leave that type of talent on the board unless there is another compelling player of arguably equal or more value at another position of need that may have a higher priority (like maybe Sonny Styles). Now all that being said, I don't realistically see either one of them being there at 19 according to the draftniks.

It is a pressing need, but there are several pressing needs. I would still think that OL, LB and Safety are just as important, if not more.

The things I've been hearing about him is that he's going to be taken in the first round because he is that good. Many analysts believe that he is the best player in the draft.

The new Jags' staff would like to re-sign Lloyd, they just can't afford him. That's the reality. Teams can't afford players that outplay their contracts every year. That's all this is.

Because they had a different staff that was not putting him into the best position to thrive, though he was still above average (unlike what some were suggesting during preseason), and that staff was fired.

My son is 27, & I'm still waiting to experience it. I guess that I should be happy he doesn't have any out of wedlock, but...*sigh*

Because the teams/FOs suck. The way I figure it, if one team can win with a Matthew Stafford or Sam Darnold, then another can, especially since they drafted them. Again, the reason that they didn't win a championship is because FOs and HCs aren't doing good jobs at the end of the day with team building, identifying strengths and weaknesses, and ultimately putting QBs into the best situations to succeed.

We have to start winning, no excuses. I wouldn't slot us in at 11-6, but that would borderline be amazing considering our record in conjunction with the inconsistency, blowout losses and the way that we played the last month of the season. There was way too much Jekyll and Hyde last season to make me believe that the supposed "stability" isn't built on anything but sand. I'll be extremely happy to be wrong.

And we have a tough schedule, so I'm not exactly holding my breath.

Well, I wouldn't expect Luke Kuechly to be negative. I'll begin to buy the positivity when I see the results of free agency and the draft, but I won't actually buy in until I see steady improvement from a win-loss perspective during the 2026 season. Bryce Young and coaching on both sides of the ball will play a huge part in regards to that bottom line.

I agree. The "problem" is that we'll never know exactly what the formula is. There is undoubtedly a "need" component in the calculus, but I seriously doubt that elite teams are in the business of drafting needs at the expense of drafting generational guys, or even guys they suspect will be good or solid players for years to come. And, as you suggested, "fit" plays a big part of that calculus as well. At this point, there are several positions that we could justify using day one and two picks on. I'm looking forward to see what they come up with. Moreover, the plan is always to use FA to set up the draft, so that one doesn't feel compelled to do something stupid based upon needs.

BPA. BPA. BPA. I don't care what position it is. I know some don't agree, but that's life.

This is probably the best analysis of the situation. Sometimes in life, there is no right or wrong. Sometimes life just be lifing, and if you don't have the vision, maturity, or wherewithal to see the big picture, it doesn't necessarily make you a bad person. In my opinion, instead of being on the attack as fans, we should be glad that they were able to meet on common ground and communicate as brothers and fellow human beings. At the end of the day, the football of it all is not really what's important here.

I am open to a guy that can play on the outside, not just a slot guy, as both Coker and McMillan can be deadly in the slot as well as highly effective on the outside.

He's definitelyore talented at throwing picks, and that's saying something.

I can't see us trading up, and I don't want to see it. I can't see any metrics that would support us trading up without losing too much value, so discipline will be the order of the day.

It's that time of year, dude.
