... not trading for Jimmy Garoppolo.

The general issue with Baker Mayfield was supposed to be bad attitude. Garoppolo comes off as something worse here, specifically a bad teammate.

It was already likely to be difficult for the 49ers to get anything for him. This story certainly doesn't help.

Didn't Browns release hit pieces on Baker when he was officially up for trade?

My sense is that negative articles about Mayfield were coming out before he was ever up for trade.

Putting out stuff like this when you're trying to get something back for a player would be kind of counterproductive.

I'm kind of struck by a contrast here...

The 49ers, planning to part ways with Jimmy Garoppolo, tell him not to bother showing up for training camp.

The Panthers, expecting to part ways with PJ Walker, give him the majority of snaps in their first preseason game.

Dear lord, you can’t see the difference? One guy has been a thorn in the coaching staff’s side and clearly not a team guy, the other is a clearly a team guy.

Corral isn’t close to ready, regardless of reps. Maybe, just maybe the staff is actually deciding who to be Baker’s backup. If they can pawn Sam off on someone and save even a few million, then PJ’s the backup. Unless you want to tank, I don’t see Corral as even backup ready.

Again, the difference is pretty stark.

You're not going to get a trade for PJ Walker, but someone noted that the Panthers radio guys said one of the reasons Walker was out there so much was to try and showcase him for another team.

It's not the Panthers responsibility to help PJ Walker find another job.

It is very much their responsibility to get Matt Corral ready to play in the NFL.

But again, which of those two things is Matt Rhule more focused on?

Well...it would be nice to get something for PJ.  Would that be a bad thing to hope for?

How could you know that? I didn't realize you had a Siege Perilous that lets you look into the other alternate universes where we cut PJ after we traded for Baker and Corral got the reps he needed so you know know he wouldn't be be close to ready even if he got them. Truly amazing.

To Hope for? No.

To expect? Unfortunately yes, especially at this time of year when everybody knows massive cuts are going to be coming shortly.

It's already understood by pretty much everyone that the Panthers aren't keeping Walker. There's no real incentive for anybody to even offer a ham sandwich. And again, as it is with Darnold, one preseason performance isn't going to erase past tape.

(definitely not when that preseason performance includes throwing a ball downfield when you had an open path to a first down two yards in front of you)

It was more about evaluating guys actually fighting for a roster spot.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      You bring up a good point on the stability part and i would agree that probably will factor into it. But yes, Tepper does have a strong influence on who stays/goes but I still believe ultimately it'is Morgan, Tilis and Canales who will decide.

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!
