"Connor is our center right now," Elway said. "I think that obviously we didn’t want to lose Matt, but we had real concerns about the ankle. That is why that didn’t work out. I’m happy for Matt. I really am. I’m happy for Matt that he got the opportunity in Carolina. It had nothing to do with Matt’s ability, but we had big concerns about that ankle. Like I said, I’m happy for Matt that he got what he got from Carolina. I hope that works out for him."

Elway and player evaluations don't mix. The guy is a classic case of someone surrounded by yes men throughout his life and now he can't make a decent decision on his own. Horse-teethed MFer was on the receiving end of that incredible comeback 'The Play" where the Cal Bears ran back a squibbed kickoff through Elway's Stanford Cardinals football team and marching band.

Elway was just left standing on the sidelines looking like an idiot savant plug mule.

Oh, and the record setting tackler on the California Bears team that helped with that miracle? Our own Coach Ron Rivera.

Sure hope Ron makes Elway look like a dipsh!t again.

What do we think he was going to say.  That there was nothing wrong and he just didn’t want to spend the money.  He was a good player.  Terrible GM.  

Im not sure what the full extent of Paradis Injury  was but if they put a rod in there it will be stronger than his other leg.  

I said it before.  I am not worried about leg fractures with guys who don’t rely on their speed.  Cornerbacks would give me a larger worry. (Cockrell)

      So where can I find out tailgating parking spots for the season?

      By Panthercougar68 · Posted

      As the demand for apartments grows parking is becoming limited and it’s sad. I use to tailgate but I just park at uncc deck now and train in and head to rhino market. My tailgate grill hates me.

      It simply depends on perspective. CMC, when healthy and on the field, has a higher YPC and YPR than LT. Yes, he's been injury prone, but this is simply a "all quarter-century team." There are certainly different stats and different lists. If this were a list or about a team simply based on longevity, then of course LT wins that every time, but some lists are more subjective and nuanced depending upon what they are, and it's not necessarily a reflection upon a person's ability to analyze sports.

      From my what I have seen the overwhelming majority of people who are considering the notion a possibility don't really want to see it happen but are considering so for a number of reasons. Most importantly availability. Secondly even when he plays the last few seasons he has been red hot or ice cold. Then there is the subject of his defense which to say the least leaves a lot to be desired. Then there is the image of Ball inactive laughing it up on the sideline (while our team was getting the doors blown off) with previous busts who are now relegated to hanging on by a thread in the g league. I think we should be able to recognize with the team going out of their way to put a very strong emphasis on culture and leadership with the conclusion of this years draft that they expect LaMelo to lead the way this upcoming season and that begins with making significant strides and trending in a positive direction in the aforementioned aspects above. It just has to happen.
