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.

      Is Dumb Ass Dave Canalas the Worst Panthers Coach?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Canales has the problem of an amateur lifeguard. He's trying desperately to save the career of a floundering young QB, not realizing that he is being pulled underwater by the kid and that there are 52 other players who are about to be pulled under as well. Sometimes you have to let the one go to save yourself and get to the others.

      We have a Dave Canales Problem

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I know it's hard to believe but there is worse QB play in the NFL currently. Cam Ward Dillon Gabriel(could be done) JJ McCarthy Justin Fields(appears to be done) It's really been quite the year for insanely terrible QB play. IDK about historic but it seems to be far worse at the bottom of the league than I recall.

      J Person article on Canales and game plan and Rico

      By Waldo · Posted

      Frank was a guy who was headed into retirement and was lured into a nightmare setup for big money. Not a victim. Ohh and he worked the owner so hard he is srill getting g paid. He chose that over the fight at QB or with the owner. Easy call  You constantly make excuses for Dave but are correct on the front office side. It's both. The DC ended Bryces career is a dead take at this point. It was the plan and they literally tried again this year when he was choking again. DC and Morgan knew what they wanted to do and what Tepper didn't allow the year before. If he wanted Young gone he wouldn't have been working on Young's technique, Tepper wouldn't know the difference. He also would have had another QB option other than Dalton who couldn't finish out a year. And he sure as hell wouldn't have repeated it this year. But he is just a HC right? It's not like a 'QB wisperer' wouldn't be consulted on resigning Dalton or what scrub they brought in... The main problem is Tepper. Dave and Dan are symptoms of that. Neither are good and neither are terrible. Both have shown recent proof they are still on the Bryce train. Dave's time is always going to be short because he was never ready and all the hype was BS. Baker wasn't fixed, he got his head out of his own arse and was put in a good situation again. If Tepper demanded a pass first approach and he allowed that to happen then he is weak AF and is worse than I currently think. Yes he has a boss but you know what the rest of us do with a crappy boss? Whatever we can think of to work that mess while planning the next job option.
