Total BS

 

I am so sick of these supposed NFL insiders on here and twitter with their dumb ass "sources"

Might be true Deshaun asked the Panthers for some contract guarantees yesterday but at that point it's very unlikely he was still seriously considering a trade to the Panthers. The request was most likely made to get leverage in contract negotiations with the Falcons and the Panthers just said nah dawg we good.

Why ask for contract guarantees at all from us then?  Just as leverage against the other teams involved?

That's my impression of it. From everything I've heard, Deshaun pretty much made up his mind to go to Atlanta after hearing the pitches from the other 3 teams involved. Atlanta is just having a hell of a time making a deal work with that Matt Ryan contract. NFL is trying to spin a narrative that Matt Ryan has been involved in the whole process which is BS. I told you guys the storyline would begin changing today.

Well whatever they did, it sounds like their "sales pitch" meeting went something like WKRP's pitch to Vicky Von Vicky jeans.

That's pretty deep, Scot. A whole new level of "obscure references."

And who tried to kiss who?

Well that's mind-boggling. 

I genuinely don't get that.

If you're trying to full on recruit the guy (and this basically was a recruiting trip) why wouldn't you bring along someone he knew and worked with before?

Did you just trust Matt Rhule's college recruiting experience would be enough?

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
