So the problem switching Donte for Ramsey would be what?

https://sports.yahoo.com/panthers-assistant-deangelo-hall-hints-220545621.html "On an episode of NFL Total Access this past week, NFL.com writer Adam Rank shared an intriguing exchange he had with Hall prior to joining the Carolina Panthers. And that conversation was about Los Angeles Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey, who could soon be on the move . . . to Charlotte? “I wrote an article for NFL.com. The team that I put out there was the Cincinnati Bengals, which I thought made a lot of sense. But what was really interesting is that on the show was DeAngelo Hall—and he said, ‘Oh, don’t forget about Carolina.’ And then a couple of days later, he ends up in Carolina.” Ramsey does have quite a few connections to a number of other new Carolina staffers—defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero, defensive backs coach Jonathan Cooley and defensive line coach Todd Wash. The Panthers, additionally, could very well be in the market for another premier defensive back given Evero’s reliance on his secondary." To all this I say, "yes, please!" Imagine Ramsey with Horn and Chinn in the backfield?

There's better WR options available. But DréMont would be a great addition, especially opposite Burns. I'd also like to see us go for Lavonte David and Alex Singleton to help out at LB and Greg Gaines or Sheldon Rankin to help out at NT.

Kids do dumb things thinking that they are invincible and rarely cae about the long term effects of their actions. Professional players are no different, in fact they get sucked into a culture where they just learn to roll with whatever the team doctors say and do. They aren't focused on the long term. It takes people like Byron Jones stepping up and ringing the bell to draw attention to their more than likely future of pain in part done by treatments they went through trying to get back on the field quicker.

The problem isn't the physical abuse they put their bodies through. The problem is what passes as medical treatment where care is more based on getting players out on the field as soon as possible, whatever drugs or procedures it takes regardless of the long term impact on them. They have been told that whatever treatment they receive is in their best interest, when it is in the best interest of the organization. The problem is they aren't told what the long term impact is. They are pressured to use the organization's choice of doctor and tes, they should have considered this and they should have done their due diligence. They should have looked at other options outside of the organizations choice irlf doctors and treatments. And this alarm is being sounded by a player who discovered it too late so that others can know. There's nothing dumbass about it.

depends on what's in the pipe you're smoking i guess.

yeah i'm not sure what i would like to see more...the rodgers/irsay conversations or rodgers having to deal with the new york press. the guy is an attention whore who doesn't like people talking about him. he wants to throw out controversial comments on the regular, but no one criticizing him. go figure. he's turned into a clown show. great player...horrible guy to have on your team. same with russel wilson. at least we thought he was a great player. turns out to be just an incredibly lucky narcissist.

Rodgers just needs to go away....but only after the draft. we don't need another QB hole needing filled to clutter up our pursuit. Let him get traded to some QB needy team and let the packers go ahead and promote love to the starting gig. Indy, go ahead and trade for him, please.

just a point of interest here from a 2021 article... https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2941963-report-justin-fields-scored-similarly-to-joe-burrow-on-nfl-draft-cognitive-test?amp=1

https://www.s2cognition.com/post/cognitive-skills-separate-top-nfl-qbs really good explanation of S2 in regards to QBs, especially in distinguishing between the wonderlic (IQ test) and S2 (cognitive testing).

elf shouldn't even be on the roster. upgrade all backup spots except Mayes.

don't care. keep him.

i can understand wanting to keep the scores secret, but as long as we know the rankings, especially compared to other years, i think it's something we really need to be paying attention to. and then combine this with whatever our new data guy, George Li has put together for the QB search and i think we should have all the info we need to give this coaching team so they can pick the best guy to carry this team into the future.

ickey made that draft a success. that was the #1 priority...well, that and a QB but whatever. imo, we needed to get that OL set up a year before we got our franchise QB. we now need to keep that gang together, especially without rhule getting his fingers in the mix. but as long as we 1) got our LT and 2) didn't give away any picks that we might need to secure our franchise QB this year, it was a success.

of course he would. he has an image to protect. the guy thinks that the world revolves around him.

so THIS is the year we should be drafting a QB. screw waiting. Go BSA (best score available).

imo, this is our top priority in FA.

don't care. keep him.

QBs: Stroud, Geno, Corral WRs: DJ, JuJu (FA), draft pick (one of the UT WRs), TMJ, Shenault, Andre Roberts TEs: Gisicki (FA), Dalton Kincaid (draft), Tremble RBs: D'Onta Foreman, draft pick (maybe Mcintosh earlier or Bigsby later), Chuba OL: same starters as last year + cade mays. get rid of other guys and draft a couple mid rounders and pick up a bargain FA or two.

I updated the OP and I'll just keep it pinned until *someone* does a write-up to replace it.

Evero said that people make too much of a big deal about the base D because it's used only for a few plays a game, the rest of it is sub packages. i'd like us to get some power on the other side of burns and some more bulk in the interior, but overall i think it isn't going to be hard to fill holes to fit what Evero wants to do because mostly he's just going to be working around what is here.
