For some reason the Titans did not pick up the 5th year option on the former #8 OVR draft pick ...

First Team All-Pro as a rookie in '16

57 Games Started in 4 seasons including all 16 this season

Will be 26 in August. This man is about as sure a thing at Tackle as you're going to get and I would have no problem if Hurney and Tepper had the Brinks Truck back-up into Conklin's driveway.

Signing Conklin  stabilizes one of the Tackle positions for five years. Set it and forget it. He's been mostly a RT - who knows if we would try him out at LT .. he played LT in college ..

What a big boost this guy would give our offensive line. We're so down and depressed about the state of our offensive line but we sign this guy and wow it looks a whole lot better.

He has had one decent year which was this year, been terrible other than that, that is why they didnt pick up his option. Also we already have a RT in Moton. Conklin can't come close to playing Left

He was a First-Team All-Pro his rookie season ..

He only played 9 games last season which was when they had to make the decision on his option - they decided not to pick it up and Conklin played well this season in all 16 games ...

Guy is as sure a thing as you can get. fug drafting a OT at #7  .. this guy was taken #8 in 2016 and has lived up to where he was drafted.

Has been a very reliable pro.

As much as I want and we need a OT, please no more Matt Kalil types. I'd rather have a Bryan Bulaga or Anthony Constanzo if we decide to move on an OT in free agency.

lol .. this Conklin is not a Matt Kalil type.

Everybody here should be in complete agreement that we sign Conklin.

Guy is a premier Tackle in this league.

I dont think you get the gist of what tepper wants and what Rhule is going to build.  This is going to be a rebuild from the ground up.  A total culture change.  They are going to handpick, mostly through the draft players that they want and how it fits in their vision.  They are not in a "win now" mentality.  He has already said as much.

No, man. We signed Joe Brady to win now. You're caught up in the smokescreen. We are winning, and now.

You might want to tell Tepper that because he said the exact opposite.  And I dont think hiring a 30 year old offensive coordinator signals we are in a "win now" mode.

Its almost if you have never listened to Tepper talk.  He is in no way in a desperation win now mode.  In fact its the exact opposite.

Rhule says the plan is to win a Super Bowl with Cam Newton .. but because its something you don't want to hear he was probably only just saying that. He didn't really mean it.

Tepper said ideally the Panthers win a Super Bowl with Cam Newton .. but because its something you don't want to hear he was probably only just saying that. He didn't really mean it.

But, Tepper says its going to be a five-year re-build and you just eat that right up like it's straight from the mouth of Jesus don't you. There is no, he's probably just saying that, he didn't really mean it, on that re-build statement.

Get off this board non-fan.

A) There is no need for insults

B)Tepper has made more comments then just that one about it being a culture change, process, program etc

C) What else would you expect them to say about Cam?  Plus every time they mention him its with the caveat "if he is healthy...."

      J Person article on Canales and game plan and Rico

      By strato · Posted

      I think you know. Apparently winning is secondary to Bryce’s development. Same as it has been.     In a way it may be good because we didn’t need to make the playoffs and extend this fuging charade about Bryce being the guy. Better in the long run if he gets enough rope to hang himself with.

      I know DC is overthinking this and he really needs to be OC or HC, but how do you call plays with a QB that in all reality, shouldn't be starting. Bryce is wildly inconsistent. He should lean on Rico and the run game, but if he does and wins, it presents a false narrative that Bryce is better than he is and he's potentially stuck with him for another season. If he doesn't, he looks incompetent as a play caller, but it exposes the ugly side of his QB situation that he really does need a QB that can execute at minimum a basic NFL offense with some decent consistency.  I feel a little sorry for the guy because he was anchored with Young this season and even more weight with Dalton getting a 2 year deal. He has very little to work with at the most important position on his team and it's not his doing. The trade deadline was approaching and it was plainly obvious we needed to do something but we didn't for whatever reason.  I don't think he's a complete bonehead and don't know what he's supposed to do. Win games and potentially keep Bryce or lose them by putting the weight on Bryce's shoulders. Either he succeeds or fails.  As a coach I know you're supposed to play to win the game, but do you win now at the ultimate long term detriment to your team and locker room?
