Regarding Kevin Colbert...

I know there are some who were hoping we'd go after him. It doesn't look like we are.

But somebody is...

It was previously reported that the Lions were going to make a play for John Schneider of Seattle. Haven't heard anything more on that, but now that Seattle is out of the playoffs I suppose it's possible.

And yeah, it's also possible they could try to pry Kevin Colbert out of Pittsburgh.

Funny thing though: Back around 2000, the Lions had Colbert. He was their Director of Pro Scouting and was considered to be a rising star.

But then the Rooneys called with a job offer, and Colbert politely told his boss that he was probably going to take it. The boss responded with a two-word text...

"Good choice."

A year later, team owner William Clay Ford named Matt Millen the Lions GM.

Yikes! :Eyes_Emoji_42x42:

Two decades later, the Steelers have been one of the most successful teams in the league while the Lions are pretty much still the same dysfunctional organization they were back then.

Can the Lions lure Colbert back and have him fix twenty plus years worth of mistakes? Doubt it. My guess is he's going to retire, although I'd love to have him do some consulting work for the Panthers, maybe help us get things organized (if he were so inclined).

But the real point here is to say that picking the wrong GM can screw your team for a long time to come.

So please, dear Panthers...

...get this right!

Tepper doesn't hire "consultants".

Colbert is too old, he was never in the set of possible hires.

This is not Jerry’s regime mr Scott we are not going to get a Gk because he was a former player or because he’s family friendly , we need a Cut throat Gk that will bring us quality players

Well, we interviewed a guy like that, but he just withdrew his name from consideration.

I actually want Adam Peters as well.

But Dodds was legit too. He helped the Seahawks put together two Super Bowl teams and he's helping the Colts build a contender today. He's one of the most sought after GM candidates in the league right now because his resumé is legit.

Not meant to be here though, so here's hoping the guy that we do  end up with is the right one.

I don't want to know how Lions fans feel.

      Madden 27 ratings for Panthers

      By beo · Posted

      Madden has been in a bad state for well over a decade now but the best recent change they've made was making the rating distrubition harsher IMO. Whenever I try to play a MyLeague in the newer games pretty much every single one of your starters will be 85+ if you want to win a championship and you need probably 3 90+ guys. There's like zero seperation between the players on the court it seems like, someone ranked 85/99 should be a great player going off the percentage but instead that's essentially an average starter. Having a larger rating gap between the superstars and the JAGs highlights the difference in skill a lot better, whereas in 2K some team's 4th best defender can square up your 96 overall superstar thus causing the gameplay to feel rather homogenous.

      TJ and Speakeasy boys talk about XL

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      I think, if the stars align, and the light comes on for XL and Metchie finds his way, and Brazzell's early returns are accurate--man, this team could be LOADED at WR.  Six will make it: TMac Coker XL Brazzell Metchie Tremayne Moore Horn

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      Personally, I think the Panthers would be a good place for a QB if he falls to maybe a 4th rounder or later.  I am not sure how they feel about the gambling and I am not sure of the details, but I think we have to plan for life without Bryce as much as we are planning for life with him.   I like Sorsby the player.  I see the Jets going after him if they have concerns about Klubnik-and they need competition for him anyway and a future replacement for Geno (who I think will suck back in NY).  Watch Atlanta, Cleveland, Indy, Miami, too, but Carolina is the team nobody is talking about, and Sorsby would be better than Kenny Pickett and maybe Haynes King is slated to always be the third QB/etc ST and Swiss Army knife--if he makes the team.   If Bryce falters, we need a QB who has potential, and Sorsby has it.  Pickett will never be a starter in this league, so his role is a #2.   I would be surprised if Morgan pulls the plug, but at worst he is a good backup and potential developmental starter.  To me-on paper--it makes too much sense.
