So I know one of the topics to go poo on the Panthers was “Matt stafford didn’t want to come to this dumpster fire”

but Ian is reporting today that there were a TON of teams on the verge of the trade and Stafford and his family had their heart 100 percent set on LA...IMO it seems more of a “Stafford wanted to go their more than he didn’t want to come here” kind of thing.

Dont let the tweet fool you, the article mentions how aggressive the Colts got after the Panthers dropped out. 
 

also….it’s GAMEDAY

He’s their version of Cam Newton. He had just 4 winning seasons in 12 years. His talent was wasted. The team around him was never all that great.

I didn't want Stafford. I'm not fond of giving away future early round picks for a 33 year old QB, ESPECIALLY since we're not a playoff now ready team anyway.  It always made sense for Stafford to go to a superbowl contending team. He paid his dues in Detroit, he didn't want to potentially go through yet ANOTHER rebuild.

Detroit finally got one right after terribly botching the Barry Sanders and Megatron situations. Stafford was a good QB for them who they failed to build a team around. He wanted out and they were willing to sign off on sending him where he wanted to go as long as the trade compensation was in the ballpark of other offers. Good in them. Finally.

Yeah. So glad we got Sam Darnold instead.

I’m sure the Rams were locked in to Darnold if the Stafford deal were to have fallen through.

      Mike Kaye’s take

      By strato · Posted

      I remember that poo well. It was an offseason of retraining Young’s footwork/throwing process.   He had a decent single drive in preseason vs Buffalo where you could see him executing the new technique on a few passing downs.    Go to the opener vs New Orleans and he stuck with it until the end of the first quarter.  It went totally out the window and he reverted to his horrible unique to him technique. That was, is and always will be a total fail.  I think he’d have been yanked right there if Canales wasn’t brand new.   Bryce was absolutely horrible those first two games. By the end of the second game we had WRs openly rebelling and pitching fits on the sidelines.   Benching him was the only option at that point.

      J Person article on Canales and game plan and Rico

      I'm not painting Frank as some poor helpless victim.  If John Fox were to look like he couldn't coach an 10 year old rec team.......it's not because John Fox is a mentally challenge clown that doesn't know football suddenly.   There would be a glaring issue that isn't John Fox at play.  It's just reality acknowledging.   It's the same old song and dance here.  It's Groundhog Day in terms of talking about the most glaring issue at any moment in time.     Constantly making excuses for Canales? I've rarely ever said a nice world about him.  I didn't like the hire.  I don't like his O. I don't like him being the OC/HC.  And I trashed the entire setup going into this season just like I did going into last season.   my profile pic is what it is for a reason.  Nothing we can do about the Tepper problem.  Wasted talk. So I move on to the ones we can do something about.  So the biggest issue remains, Bryce and the folks in the front office that will have the worst draft pick of all time (all things factored) to their names in the NFL history books.  Until you solve that, nothing matters.

      Perfectly reasonable position. Especially in the current sports media landscape where it has become intertwined with social media and that wasteland of constant grifting.
