So basically we have no idea who will be drafted

I’ve gone back and forth… watching Stroud all year thinking we might have a chance at him, I didn’t like how he struggled under pressure. When he gets in a rhythm he really shines though. Then the UGA game happened and I’ve been all in on Stroud since. But lately, I’m starting to hope it’s Bryce, he just seems like he’s “that guy” on and off the field and could be a true game-changer for the franchise similar to Cam when he stepped foot in Charlotte. Not saying that I don’t think both will be successful in the NFL, but if we pass on Bryce I could see us regretting it down the road as he turns around the Texans and becomes a face of the league.

Yeah I am seeing something special about Young’s ability to perform under pressure and just make plays like Mahomes. It’s only his size that worries me

From Gantt's latest mailbag...

If the Panthers have the No. 1 pick, why do they need to "put up a smokescreen," as one reporter says? Who the heck are they faking out? — Mitchell, Clover, SC

I'm not sure who that reporter is; maybe stop listening to them. That sounds silly.

There are plenty of false prophets out there in the world because a lot of them apparently get paid by the word or maybe by the tweet.

Because if anyone tells you they know what the Panthers are doing, they're lying. I know this for sure, because the Panthers don't know yet.

They've been intentional to not decide while they're collecting evidence, and they're going to be collecting evidence for another couple of weeks. Reich said as much Tuesday back in Arizona, and they're not just going to Gainesville to add to their Marriott points balance. Though they have plenty. Once they're home, they're bringing the final four (unlike the basketball Final Four, I've heard of these guys) in for visits.

They'll talk more, and they'll eat more food, and maybe they'll find a basketball goal so Josh McCown can play a little horse with them.

(Side story: Reich is also a bit of a hooper and said he liked to take the court with potential draft picks on visits as part of his evaluation. He's not as athletic as the 43-year-old McCown, though he was quick to add: "but I can still shoot." Challenge him at your own risk.)

I don't know why, and this is totally unfounded and solely my opinion, but CJ stroud gives me Kirk Cousins vibes and I haven't the slightest clue why.

An aggressive Kirk Cousins would be a really good QB

Instead he’ll forever be check down Kirk which is why he’ll never win a SB. If Stroud can be an aggressive version of Kirk, that honestly wouldn’t be so bad

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
