To hear him talk inthe Observer, it sounds like Feeley is miles away from being ready to play. I am really, really hoping that Fox doesn't shoehorn him in there regardless of whether it's the right move or not.

(sadly, that is my expectation)

What's giving you/Fox/Observer the idea he's not ready? Just curious.

New Panthers backup quarterback A.J. Feeley said Wednesday he's begun a "crash course" to learn the offense after signing Tuesday and that there's a huge difference between Carolina's scheme and Philadelpha's West Coast offense.

...

"It's foreign to me," Feeley said of the Panthers' offense. "Obviously, there are different philosophies, the verbage, different routes, different schools of thought.

"I'm on a little (bit of an) information overload right now, but it'll come as the days progress."

I imagine it won't take long for him to get settled in with our offense. We only have about 10 or so passing plays we run on a regular basis, and I think even A.J. can handle that. With that said though, I don't think he should be moved up to the number 2 at all.

You are right on. Even Feeley knows he is not close to being ready. At this point he would be only good as an emergency backup. Moore is a much better option, which is frankly a little scary at this point.

You realize that your logic is simplistic to the point of being ridiculous. Our offense is about alot more than 10 pass plays. On every pass play there are several options available based on how the defense lines up. We also have several options to throw to different folks out of each formation. Feeley doesn't even know the playbook let alone all the variations. This offense is completely different from a WCO.

Yeah I realize there is probably a few hundred different variations of things that goes on in the playbook but it just seems like we don't use them all. The West Coast offense is much more complex in terms of passing routes/formations and such compared to our offense, but mainly the terminology is probably so different it is like learning Japanese.

I had to watch some of A.J. Feeley's old highlights (not many) to see if he was able to check out of a play or make adjustments at the line and he did a few times. I don't know if he will have that kind of flexibility with our offense.

      Bust alert - Eight NFL players running out of time to prove themselves entering 2026 season

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      Bryce has improved each season, fwiw, statistically.  His slope is rising.  (Not to say I am high on him--I am not, but I have not given up on him--nor have I given up on XL, but damn he pisses me off)  CJ's slope is descending.   I was never a Penix fan.  Never, I say!

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      That is definitely the down side of all this--on paper, I would offer up a second rounder for him if he passed my interviews.  He has already gone through (seriously?) a treatment program for gambling addiction.  I just see him as a first round talent that we could get with a second rounder.  If I liked Bryce and felt good about paying him $50m per, I would not touch Sorsby.  If Bryce regresses or stays the same--he is going to expect to be paid.  Sorsby, in my view, has a better long-term future as an NFL QB.  He is big, mobile, has good arm strength, and makes wise decisions (on the field) with the football.  He is a great dual threat, RPO QB.   I think he is a perfect solution for the backup qb position and insurance for Bryce should he get injured or suck.  Pickett?  King?  yikes.

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.
