What is your unpopular opinion?

I would agree if it were only the draft picks involved.  But with Rodhers and Jackson there's also a huge guaranteed contract added on top of the picks. All is not equal. 

But you know you are getting a good QB with Rodgers/Jackson, whereas there's a chance Stroud/Young can bust...that would be the tradeoff in terms of similar costs

I have been on the Stroud train for a while, and I hope that's the move, but it would be unsurprising to see the Panthers jumping at Lamar (and Rodgers if he wants to come here) because they can win the division immediately if they make that move...the other 3 teams are bad

Here is a seriously unpopular opinon

 

While I dont expect the roster to be top to bottom choir boys there are people who are so odious that Id rather lose than have them on the payroll.

Rodgers is on that list

Pass for me. Would rather draft a rookie and not give up the future to do so.

But I have no control over what the team does. All I can do is guage my hopes on the future by what they do to improve along the way. They have a lot to improve on.

Cheese is terrible

Wait so you eat hamburgers with no cheese?

 

This is not normal. Go see a doctor bud.

I'll do a single piece of american cheese on a burger, but really only if it's a bacon cheeseburger to help mask the cheese taste, preferably with BBQ sauce too.  Also will have pizza with it as long as it's not overly cheesy or else I have to take the cheese off and save with tacos, but that has to be even lighter cheese than pizza.

That's really it for me with what I'll eat cheese with/on, used to eat Mac and Cheese every so often but not really even that anymore.

When I was in 1st or 2nd grade I was eating one of those personal pizzas at lunch, part way thru the cheese all fell off, like most kids I just ate all the cheese.  Was too much cheese, gagged on it and threw up all over the lunch table.  For a while after that anything cheesy made me gag (and still do), so I stopped eating it and then completely lost any liking of the taste of it over time.

Absolutely. Cheese wrecks the taste and texture of a burger and many other foods.

My son is the same way. Mind boggling, cheese is an indispensable ingredient for so many things but he can’t stand it when there’s even cheese in the same vicinity as his food. Not lactose intolerant, he likes ice cream, but almost no other dairy products.

When I was growing up, we didn’t have much and my brother and I used to experiment with ramen noodles. ( I think it was oodles of noodles then)

We used to put craft singles in ours when it was hot and melt it in to try something different. It was absolutely horrible, but the change up was nice. You just had to add enough hot sauce.

The team invested in Cam Newton having weapons + an offensive line, but due to injuries (along with a couple of misfires evaluation-wise) those position groups were regular points of concern.

Honestly, what happened to end the Cam Newton era, more than anything else was opposing teams realized that to stop the Panthers, you only had to stop Newton. Somehow, some way, if you could knock Cam out or tie him up for the majority of the game, we had nothing else. Our defense, even led by Luke, could only hold up for so long (the rules make sure that is the case, no matter what).

All those hits Cam took, the all out efforts for jailbreak blitzes while a joker player spied Cam to try and bottle him up, just took their toll on him. Cam was a superstar player and we honestly didn't develop the team and players around him enough to let them take over the game when he would get stuck. 

It's bad coaching and a bad case of lacking leadership to really  create team development. After Cam left, how many people did we develop here on offense that are actually any good? 

We had Christian McCaffrey and well, they did the same with him. We took his abilities as the ultimate Swiss Army knife and let that be our entire offense, just rotating in underperforming QBs, poorly developing an O-line and letting our one decent receiver wither on the vine. 

If you want and need to build a team, then sometimes the worst thing you can pick up is a superstar, especially if coaching is desperate to find a miracle cure for their woes. It's how some of the greatest players of the game were stuck on horrible teams. Barry Sanders is a fine example.
