Haha mlb cards and the blues. That rams were third in line and when they left, the little fans they had swore them off...the ones I know personally have stopped watching nfl all together. 

just thought maybe some holdouts from that Cards when they were there...Gotta have Hart!

For fans of Moncrief...

Colts likely moving on from Moncrief despite potential

Question is how much coin he'll demand.

Yes, please. I think he can be every bit as vital to our offense for a fraction of the cost. I know on the surface this reeks of the usual Panthers 'Dollar Store' style, but he has a lot of his future in front of him, and I'd like it here with Cam and CMC.

Plus....there's always this amazingly awful, yet phenomenally addictive video -

That’s love 

During his Hall of Fame speech, Steve Young told a story about his mom interjecting herself into his football career a little more directly.

It was his first game as a pee wee quarterback, and on the first play he got sacked. No damage, no injury, nothing of that sort. Just a plain old football tackle.

But Mom didn't take it well.

His mom got up, ran out of the stands, on to the field, grabbed the kid who tackled him by the face mask and started yelling at him :omg:

Had that been me, I probably would have claimed I didn't know this crazy woman. But ya know, Mom :)

Who would have thought that was the start of a Hall of Fame career?

Meanwhile in Seattle...

Nah, I think Seattle is making some smart moves. Releasing aging stars making a ton of money, freeing up space to improve the rest of the roster. They are a prime candidate to bounce back into the playoffs next season.

Most of their prior success was rooted in one really stellar draft.

I agree they have a good GM, but even  with a good GM that kind of draft success is not easy to repeat.

Seattle making the playoffs would surprise me. They've got a tough road in their own division. Frisco and LA are both on the rise with good young rosters and coaches.

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
