How close did the Panthers come to getting Stafford? Dang close.

Eh not really. What makes it hard is when you have an owner who knows nothing hiring coaches that know nothing. 
 

Never thought Rhule deserved the job. Didn’t do poo in college. Now you put him in charge of personnel and he seems desperate rather than calculated. Overcorrection never works. 

I like Rhule as a HC, not as a HC in charge. Not sure how Fritters fits in but there are plenty of reasons to doubt. This trade with thr amount of time he has had to take in the team leaves me concerned about thr level of dumb incoming.

No, running a football team and organization is massively difficult. Only about six to eight teams in the league are successfully doing it. 

And Rhule, in college he worked miracles turning around programs building from the ground up. The guy knows his stuff, but he's build a whole house starting at the foundation, he's not just dragging a trailer to a new lot.

That’s exactly what’s been attempted here.

Then why is it no self respecting NFL player wants to come play for him? Its pretty obvious at this point he's going to chip kelly out in a few years.

I’m about another Teddy/Stafford decision away from sitting this regime out and coming back in a few years after everyone is fired again. 

I can't lie, these decisions are both sus, you HAD Cam who is better than Stafford, who can't even be compared to TB, and you come full circle willing to give up #8 on a QB older than Cam with just as much wear and tear WHO HAS NEVER WON A POST-SEAON GAME...after cutting a QB who was less expensive than both of these two...

Rams saved us from ourselves, you never shop hungry, I'm ok with trading up for a QB since the salary of a rookie QB is that valuable IF you get the pick right, I see no point in a kings ransom for DW if we lose top picks for several years and are on the hook with a 35+M QB, and no cap flexibility to bring in quality free agents. 

I feel like that point is over-looked by so many.

Dude, have you seen Cam throw? He’s done as a starting QB. Stop living in the past.

I didn’t want Stafford but it wouldn’t have been a horrible decision to bring him in. My only concern with him is his age and durability. People pooing on Rhule are overreacting.

I still want us to go all in on Watson but not give up any of our young players.

Wonder what Teddy is thinking right now?  Lol.

Yeah I'm afraid if we do move on past Watson because of the steep price and one of the qbs in the draft doesnt fall to us then we are going into the season with a messy situation with teddy still here. But we need to build the oline and the secondary.

That was a massively aggressive offer. They basically sat down at the poker table and pushed all their chips to the center while the cards were still being shuffled. If it blows up in their faces, the Rams going to pay for it for a loooong time. Detroit, not so long.

We don't know what was offered.

And, it's not that serious!

We know we offered #8 plus another pick, probably 4th or 5th round based on what I've read. May have offered Bridgewater too.

We also know that our draft pick was the highest one offered.

      I'm gonna be a grandpa!  My 2 year old son sat on my lap Panther's inaugural season in Clemson.  Die hard fans ever since.  Now he's going to be a daddy and sharing the fan tradition with a custom made shirt.  Check out the little fella in the sonogram (look closely).

      Top 5 draft targets for positions of need

      By Basbear · Posted

      Watch out now...... I agree but many others disagree with this line of thinking.  I seen a recent summary too- Which would you rather have the best safety or the 8th best edge? Best safety maybe kyle hamilton, the 8th best edge is Maxx Crosby. Id take maxx even with Myles or TJ on the roster. Plus if you don't like Maxx as 8th best, Id take whoever the 8th best edge is over the Kyle.  Panthers need a starter level edge, the only realistic shot is using the 1st rounder. But if somehow a stud LT pulls out a gas mask and falls to 19, draft them if much higher ranked.  The funny deal is those teams drafting in the late portion of drafts don't need edge, QB, WR, or OT..... I wonder why?!??? hmmmmmmm.... plus it pays off for them, cause they do need OG, ILB, TE, safety..... and now they get a top level player to remain great....

      A pretty insane QB stat

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Wrong conclusion. FOs should look at this and say “What can I do to better set up my top pick to succeed?” Not say welp I guess I just shouldn’t draft the most talented player at the most important position. It’s like saying the Cavaliers shouldn’t have drafted Lebron because they did a poor job building around him and he didn’t start winning championships until he left. It’s silly. Should teams also look and say “wow look at all these super bowls won by QBs drafted in the 5th round, guess that’s the best round to draft a QB.” Nonsense.
