Fastest off season ever?

I think it's partly because I'm getting older and everything seems to go by quicker but I also think football is such a year round sport in terms of being in the media. Seems like there was something regarding football in every off season news cycle.

I read somewhere that our perception of time speeds up as we age, so there is some truth to that, but it really seems like the draft was two weeks ago. I don't even watch ESPN or any sports news during the summer.

I think the Huddle actually helped pass the time for me. From pre-draft anticipation, to the post draft analysis,  to pre-OTA speculation, to OTA reports and analysis,  the about 2 days before the pre-TC speculation,  and here we are

It's called getting old. I'm never anxious for anything because I know it will be here tomorrow.

I was literally thinking the same thing today. We are practically two months from Halloween! It literally feels like Halloween was like two weeks ago. It is insane how time seems to speed up so much the older you get and yes, this off season has flown by!

      I just want to see a big guy with an NFL certified cannon arm suit up for the panthers again. To me, it will show that they are at least  trying to take the QB position in the direction it needs to go.   Will he throw picks? Yes. Probably a hell of a lot, but (for now) I’m strangely ok with that… for now. I at least need to see a dude that CAN make the throws with some semblance of accuracy.  This is the time to see what the QB whisperer is made of. The offensive talent is there. It’s certainly better than most rookie/journeymen QBs will ever step in to. If he can get a random dude playing at a JAG level, then I might be sold.  Andy could really surprise in the Buffalo game. He (for now) still has enough arm for Tet and XL to show what they’ve got, but we all know it’s only going to be good for 3-4 games, max. He has vet savvy, and that does account for a lot. He also has a full week of practice with all the snaps to prepare.  My best case scenario going forward: Andy plays the next 2 games nobly (winning one would be a huge bonus) giving White a chance to learn some of the playbook and develop chemistry with the players. Serviceable Andy turns in to old man Andy in game 3 and White takes the field after halftime.  A high ankle sprain (lol, sure it is) is an injury that can buy the team a LONG time for BY to ride the pine…. Maybe even IR. His peak trade value is now. Get what they can for this albatross. He’s now shown that he can be a mid level backup which does hold a significant value for the right team.  Not even in my wildest dreams do I see White being anything more than a JAG, but that’s ok. JAGs with a big arm make great bridge QBs that at least won’t have your play makers stagnating. Keeping BY under center is a 100% recipe for stagnating high ceiling (Tet/XL) dudes and/or not allowing them to take the next step in their development. Why even practice the good half of the playbook if the QB can’t make the throw? After a while, you’ve now got high ceiling guys who can only run a limited route tree. No thanks.
