In all about 25 teams expressed interest in Collins. Dallas sold

him today. Gets chance to start at LG immediately next to a

strong center..

If I was the guy getting replaced because of a deal instead of talent I would want out immediately. I would call the NFLPA and my agent to get me the fug out.

If the Panthers front office was smart about this, they would have drafted Collins with a 7th round pick, and then signed him after he was given the green light. Just because you draft them does not mean you need to sign them.

 

Got to be smart when playing the draft if you are in need of a prospect.

 

By the time the draft got here, especially by the third day, all indications were that Collins was likely to be cleared.  I gotta think that word was sent out to the 32 teams that drafting Collins was going to be highly frowned upon by the league.  The NFL didn't want anymore PR black eyes on the domestic violence front.  Drafting Collins before he was officially cleared would've been spun by some media outlets as a black eye.

couldn't you say the exact same thing for all 32 teams though.  or if the list just has to be narrowed down all the teams that need an upgrade at tackle?

 

i can't blame anyone for getting queasy about drafting a prospect who wasn't cleared as a person of interest for a rae carruth-level crime

Collins was obviously a Cowboys fan coming up.

I just don't understand the rationale, but oh well.

I was gonna say that I hope Shaq Thompson punches him in the mouth, but Collins will never see the field.

He'll start at LG day 1.

Unless he hits that 30 year old wall really hard, he'd probably have a chance to break the single season rushing yardage record in Dallas this year.

He'd have a chance to rush for 3000.

      How to list & hopefully sell PSLs plus season tickets

      By GRWatcher · Posted

      I sold mine when Tepper installed those soccer seats in the end zone using the Marketplace. I retired and couldn't afford the season ticket price any more. Got back what I initially paid for them in 1995. From the email I got, my guess is a family who had end zone PSL's used the $ they got to give up their seats to buy mine. Don't give up @Waldo. The upgrades coming could do the same for you.

      Don’t get me wrong, I love Koochie. I think he could be a star. But I’m not convinced Rod trusts him. And I realize my post was confusing. I meant based on the reports of swapping Necas for Ullmark or another goalie. If we’re going to trade for a goalie I would rather use draft picks instead of lowering the value of Necas.

      You can make a decent case that most of the starters are at-least average. But depth-wise, its awful, maybe the worst in the NFL.  The only reason they could be a playoff team, is the awful NFC south and its collection of bad QBs and coaching staffs. That changed big time when cousins and Morris arrived to ATL. Now it would take a setback to cousins, in which he currently ready to play given all the stem cells and peptides stuff he has.  In past years there was always some elite talent leftd on the 7 win rosters. Like many know theres just dbrown and a huge ? in horn. If hunt was elite, phins would have tagged him. There's no Thomas Davis, Luke, Cam, Olsen, peppers, kalil, beason, gross, Jenkins, Smitty etc on the team. Brown is great and all, but sacks and pressure wise, he's not game changing. Panthers lack difference makers, young ones. You could make a weak case for clowney, but that ravens D is stacked.  Us fans just need to hope Dan Morgan can collect more young difference maker in the next 2-3 years. If Bryce isn't that guy, 4 years before this team can sniff the playoffs.  Honestly the panthers are due some luck as well.
