This. watching all these insecure posters try to dig their heels in and “beg them” to “do it” is laughable because they’ll be the first ones to aw shucks and “how could we have known what he’d turn into?” as the panthers get blown out in a meaningless game at the end of the season.

The NFL is rapidly turning into a "gamble big to win big NOW" league. Hell, I sure wish we'd done it during Cam's prime.

Even though I wasn't a fan of him coming into the draft, in hindsight I wish we'd let crazy Marty mortgage the future on swinging big on a trade to land Herbert.

And I wish we'd taken Mahomes when he was on the table, but you can't have everything.

Cannot say much more, given iants have been running circles around the panthers staff for years....jesus this feels like the commish needs to use a veto, not even joking...

How is Trey Lance a better prospect than Willis?

Better size, played in a much more advanced system, called plays at the LOS.  He supposedly interviewed amazingly and broke down multiple offenses and defenses and blew away coaches with his knowledge

 

The real question is, how is willis a better prospect at 6 then fields would have been at 8?

Seems like the Saints wouldn't make this trade without having a deal in place with someone like the Giants at 5. It's the only way it makes sense. Trying to pull off two separate trades to jump into the top 5 draft day doesn't seem likely.

Question is, IF the Saints jump up, will someone else jump them? That'd be fun.

Hell, I'm kinda done judging a QB by his system. Herbert played in a damn HS offense at Oregon. I let that fool me into thinking he wasn't capable of more.

    • I had forgotten how shady the Patriots really were. Sheesh. 
    • Its worse because the NFL would never allow all the teams to join the NFC East or something.  There's a firm divisional structure with a salary cap to make it competitive.
    • Practice tweets/news from today (will post videos in the next cpl of posts if there are any worthwhile): K Ryan Fitzgerald now wearing #10. QB Hendon Hooker has #12. WR Dalevon Campbell has #81. RB DeeJay Dallas was in #1 but it's currently a practice-only number as he was playing the part of Jag's RB Travis Etienne on the scout team (his real number is #20). WR Jalen Coker walked out with a compression sleeve on his left leg. Later seen on the bike. LG Damien Lewis not wearing the red practice jersey anymore, should be full go for Thursday. LT Ikem Ekwonu was at practice but not dressed out as he recovers from an appendectomy. Worked out on the sideline with Jalen Coker + RB Jonathon Brooks. WRs Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, and Hunter Renfrow were all exempt from special teams practice. Likely three starters for Thursday. OT Yosh Nijman got the first looks at LT today. During the post-practice presser, Canales said that there was a lot of good energy today and that offense won the 1-on-1s which included a 40yd throw from Bryce Young to Xavier Legette early to "set the tone" (per Canales). Also stated that Icky is currently day-to-day. Commented on having a training plan for Coker this passed offseason and that he did a great job following it (though the quad issue is one he has had in the past). Renfrow's locker is between Dalton and Hooker (left) and Young (right). Sounds like they're trying to get Renfrow on the same page as the QBs in this offense to replace AT's role as that second set of "QB eyes" on the field. Icky talked about his symptoms that led to his surgery and mentioned that his dad, a physician, was who got him to go. Won't rush himself back, but hasn't ruled out playing Sunday. Renfrow said he had others, but he was either going to play for the Panthers or not at all. Said Bryce called him during the process and that when he was released the team mentioned that the Thielen trade might be coming. Got the news while picking up a trailer at his other job. Also said that Canales told him that he didn't think that he was physically ready yet but wanted him back on the practice squad. The Coker injury changed the calculus.
