Meanwhile, in Dallas...

 

 

Does he play for the Panthers?  Is he playing on the franchise tag?  Is there new elevator video showing a totally unrelated player cold-cocking his fiancé?  If not, who gives a f*ck.

   Denver is not exercising the 5th year option on Shane Ray after drafting Chubb

Doesnt look like he is in their plans.

Kid has the athletic ability and played 4-3 DE in college (been playing 3-4 OLB in Denver)

Wonder if itd be worth it to wave a future 4th-5th rounder for him

These are exactly the types of deals the Panthers need to jump on.

For whatever reasons, the Jaguars declined Dante Fowler’s 5th yr option. Probably due to off field but too talented and stayed away from trouble last season. Had his best season last year. 

 

Now, he’s someone I would like to look at.

He would be a good young pick up for us. Also he would play on the defense with a former teammate who I expect to have a big year in Bryan Cox Jr.

Yeah, I had forgotten this dude right here.

Was he on the practice squad last year or something? I heard  a few people say he may be a big surprise.

For a little bit. He played quite a bit, obviously not starting, but since Hall was IR’d immediately he played a bit. I think he and Hall will got a lot more rotations than people expect. That’s why I didn’t want a DE in the draft, especially since next year’s 4-3 DE class is better. We could easily get someone as good as Davenport late first. Anyway, not really much roster space without Addison, Peppers, Horton, Hall and Cox. Heck, Haynes may be listed as a LBer. 

Don't forget that dude we got from the international program last year. I thought he showed flashes in preseason so maybe he sticks this season. My sleeper pick for breakout at DE this year is Horton and if he does he will have damn sure earned it. He's been cut and resigned half a dozen times but the potential and yearly improvement is evident. If he can just get his pass rush to match his run stuffing, he "could" be scary in our rotation.

    • 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 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.
