LOL Remmers.

That same "mediocrity and ineptitude" that won 17 games in that season and absolutely dismantled two elite teams in the NFC leading up to the Super Bowl? It was one game that we flunked and failed, you can't look at only that and make a conclusion about the team. It sucks like hell that it was the game that mattered most, rendering the previous games meaningless, but that says more about the coaching not preparing the team for the big stage, than it does the GM for putting the team together. You have to look at all 19 games that the team played in, you can't just look at 1 and declare the roster was put together by  "mediocrity and ineptitude." What a dumb fuging argument by you dude.

I haven't even mentioned our former GM in this thread. So why are you so eager at all costs to make this about defending him from perceived criticism?

Cam did not win all those games by himself just like Remmers wasn't the reason they lost the SB.  It was a team effort and no matter how much you want stay in denial those are the facts.

Wrong. Try again.

If we have a decent RT, we win that SB. If we have a decent OC who realizes that his RT is weak against speed rushers and that he'll be facing the best speed rusher in the NFL and he needs to compensate the gameplan to account for this, we win the SB. You would've thought he would've learned this watching Vic Beasley eat Remmers' lunch repeatedly in Week 15. Wade Phillips just sonned the hell out of Mike Shula that night, even worse that Von Miller did to Remmers. Anyone who'd paid attention should've known that was a matchup that Miller is going to win 9 times out of 10. Hard to blame Remmers for that. Miller is just much more talented.

As the saying goes, another man's trash is another man's trash. Former Panther OT Mike Remmers giving Viking fans nightmares as he did this...

Meanwhile, Matt Kalil helped contribute to the Texans having no pressure at all against the Panthers starting o-line against a tough match-up in Jadaveon Clowney. 

Lol.

I almost feel sorry for you.   But I will give you this, you are committed to that falacy to the bitter end.

Eh, the fallacy would be you suggesting I actually believe one player solely lost us the Super Bowl. Which I never said. I've discussed the steps or lack of steps that led us to that point in depth in other threads on numerous occasions. Specifically as it relates to our efforts with building the OL. If you wish to discuss that we can. If not, why are you quoting me?

I look at this with both great relief and at the same time great dismay. The Panthers are my team no matter what is happening or who they play. I will always cheer for them however the Vikings are another team that I like. So seeing Remmers gone from the Panthers is a great relief that outweighs the stress that comes from seeing him as a Viking now.......damnit.

Agreed. And there aren't many OCs that would leave their right tackle one on one with VM as much as Shula did. Watch the Patriots AFC championship game that year and see how they handled it. Probably only left their tackles alone with Von 3 or 4 times the entire game.

So what is the "mediocrity and ineptitude" you think I'm trying to rationalize? It's very clear what you were alluding to and what you do in most of your posts.

Poor Sam Bradford got the Remmers "Cam Newton" Special. How is he going to dink and dunk the ball to pad his completion percentage now?

To put into perspective even more, the "beast" that beat Remmers like he owed him money was none other than Eddie Yarbrough, UDFA DE rookie from Wyoming. That's right, THE Eddie Yarbrough.

Getting eaten alive by the likes of Von Miller and Vic Beasley is one thing, but a UDFA? Yikes.

    • excellent points and insights.  I agree on Tepper.  I guess I worry that his questions and comments might influence the thinking of his employees, that his presence in the room might add pressure to an already stressful situation, but after watching it again, it does not appear to be like that.  Morgan was in charge.  Canales mentioned needing a center, but beyond that, he was there to serve as a consultant, more or less, if asked.  I suppose my point was this--everyone knew their roles, I did not see egos--I saw empowerment.  As for Morgan--I saw a leader that listened to others, made wise decisions, and never lost control.  I was VERY IMPRESSED with Dan Morgan. 
    • Pretty good summation, although I would caution just a bit that there might be a little of over-enhanced expectations. I do agree with the assessment on BPA. It was exceedingly clear they had a specific shopping list. Early on when there was some discussion about the tackles available, Morgan was asked if he was willing to give up a 5th to get Freeling, if it came to that. I think the only way it wasn't a left tackle with that 1st pick is if none that were valued as a 1st were still available.
    • a) That they made it a point in the room to point at the paper and say, "hope the camera got that" suggests we really did target the players we wanted and got them. While there is a ton of editing happening to cut out conversations not related to the players we picked, there didn't seem to be a lot of panic about who/what was going on b) Tepper appreciates the analytics. Now that he has a few years to see how the front office team works together to do the analysis, it still looks like he's hands-off (he's learned his lesson??). He seemed less vocal than in previous years' Blueprints (at least, in the edit).  I wouldn't expect Canales to be overly vocal in the draft room - he's likely already made his opinions known behind the scenes about certain players. Draft day is Morgan and Tilis and Eager's day. Loved seeing their interactions/conversations  c) that's all Eager. There's a great piece somewhere about the analytics engine he built floating around somewhere (maybe it was just after the draft?), and how he's constantly tweaking it with info about the players and input from the coaching staff.  That the post-draft press - for the most part - all seem to be overly positive about the draft actions we had compared to other teams makes it seem like we've gotten the ship moving in the right direction. Whether it translates to on-field results, well, that's a different topic for hundreds of other threads
