Yep. We were interested, but apparently not as interested as they were.

It's not as safe a choice as Carr would have been, but it's definitely a less expensive one.

I'm good with it.

Yeah, we weren't that interested like I was trying to tell you all along.

Oh, we were definitely interested. Joe Person, Mike Kaye and others confirmed that much.

That we weren't as interested as the Saints is actually just my speculation. We'll have to wait until more details come out to know the full truth.

Not where I hoped he would land. There are some QB needy teams in front of us that would have made much more sense, from a Panthers perspective anyway.

I agree that we were interested, and I stated that. The problem is that we were interested enough to pay Carr a relatively big-money, long-term contract. I said that no smart team was going to sign him early, and I stand by that.

Yeah, except the actual news (again) goes against what you say.

Reports have confirmed that we were calling Carr today to talk money, but the Saints swooped in and got him before we had the chance.

I get that it's your preference to ignore news that doesn't suit what you believe, but hey...

Sounds like the terms may be standard fare for NO. Lots of bonus money and a low salary.

Really very interested in the details here.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
