Panthers free agent Garrett Gilbert looked pretty darn good in rookie camp. Kid is 6'2 230, pretty mobile, nice arm. 

I feel like he could be worth stashing on the practice squad. DA won't be around forever.

Also, notice Hall in hot pursuit.

 Let's make some assumptions when we discuss OTAs and parts of camp where the team is not wearing full pads or engaging in full-contact activities:

1. All participants are not wearing full protective padding and any comment about a player's ability in game simulations is based on the knowledge that eventually, if they are to help the professional football win games, they will do so in pads playing against a fully-padded team from another city.

2.  These players have worn pads before and been successful wearing said pads, evidence by the fact that their invitations to the activity is based on fully-padded performance and not partially-padded performance in simulated conditions.

3. Should said pads be removed in activities designed to evaluate talent and prepare individuals for padded activities, that any comments made about the quality of performance is made with the understanding that the participant and recipient of those comments, direct or indirect in nature, are made with the full knowledge and understanding that protective padding to some degree is amiss.

I feel like I'm signing some sort of waiver. Where's the tiny print bruh?!

The fine print (illegible here) reads:  "Don't make the dumbass comment, "But he is not in pads" or "wait until they put the pads on" as if it is insight we need to grasp the enormity of the situation. Nobody reacts to a comment like that with, "By golly, you know he's right.  They aren't wearing pads and I was foolish for making a statement about his football ability when the man is obviously padless." We know they are not wearing pads, Columbus.

I'm fine if he turns out to be a keeper, but he's been signed and released by 4 teams since he was a 6th round pick in '14. He was a 5 star prospect coming out of high school, but he sure hasn't lived up to that rating. I can't find any info on his weaknesses with a quick search, but he obviously has some.

Since we've brought in more special teams players and returners, do we still need to keep Webb?

Good question. Webb is disposable I think now.

Nice picture by the way too @Jeremy Igo

I wanted Taco Charlton bad. Well, this guy has freak size too. I like this pick a lot. Hopefully he picks a # in the 70's

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      I’m not suggesting that tanking is the right thing to do every time. I do think that if you have guys like Burns and Moore that you will trade anyway, then you should think about tanking and getting max value, especially if you want to grab a QB that might go 1st overall. We tried to do both. Trade CMC for picks but don’t take 3 1sts and a 2nd for Burns and Moore. Instead, we won a few games and then threw in Moore on a trade because we didn’t tank and we gave Burns away for a 2nd. Can you honestly say that fully tanking, by trading away all our best guys who weren’t in future plans, in 2022 wouldn’t have made our team better now? We wanted a rookie QB and we didn’t extend the main guy we didn’t want to trade. We were 100% in full tear down and we could have been a playoff team last year if we used the 4 extra 1sts or 3 1sts and 2 2nds (counting picks saved on Young by being pick 3 or 4 not 9) on D. Culture building is funny. It took three coaching changes to seemingly get there. Morgan and Canales weren’t in charge when we “protected” our culture. We still traded Burns and Moore, we just lost 3 first round picks in the process. Also, do you think the Eagles are in a bad place because of their coach clearly tanking a game for a draft pick? Remember that? It was obvious and the coach was fired. The funny thing is that this is something teams do all the time but they add their stars (like Cam in 2016, CMC, Burns, etc.) to IR or rest them in week 16/17. Pederson was just dumb and made it obvious. He could have just sat his starters to start. Anyway, did that incident tank risk their credibility? Did Barkley decide to not sign with them? Seems like their SB win and other SB visit say they are just fine. Winning makes culture, picking the right coach makes culture, trading away guys who are on other teams in a year for top picks and keeping more picks by having a better starting pick to trade up, does not impact culture. If it helps you win, culture will be fine, ask the Eagles.
