Deion is building that OL through the transfer portal. The star of his haul so far is a 6'2" 275 pounder from 3-9 UConn.

 Another transfer from Indiana guy played 12 games only allowed 1 sack. Deion is rebuilding that Oline slowly but surely.

Drake Maye will skip his Bowl Game and declare for the NFL Draft. Duke's QB is transferring to Notre Dame to start, and will miss his Bowl Game as well.

As he should. He's done enough for UNC.

Kinda glad. I really didn't want to go to that bowl anyway but I had committed myself to it if Drake played.

No players who have a legit shot of being drafted should play in a meaningless exhibition game especially one called the Mayo Bowl. Too much money at risk.

Tim not only talks about Maye going pro, but dives into what UNC and other schools should be pitching to guys in the portal and HS when recruiting them.

 

Everyone knows I'm a massive Heels fan. Heels > Panthers all day everyday. Just the way it is.

But I detected no lies. I pissed off a lot of Carolina fans for saying this time last year that Drake should take the SEC bag and transfer. It was in his best interests. I'm gonna do it again this year. Omarion Hampton should take the bag and transfer. Imagine him running behind a Georgia or Alabama OL. If we have a significant drop off in QB play (virtually guaranteed, getting Howell/Maye caliber QBs back to back is just unheard of for UNC level programs) and we're also losing our #1 WR, it's very possible he's looking at at a lot of stacked boxes next year. With the devaluation of the RB position in the NFL, RB draft stock can be a very fickle thing. A QB that checks every prototype box like Maye can have a drop off and still be an elite prospect. A RB can't.

Mack should do the right thing and retire. If he doesn't he should be forced out. His age is a huge hurdle to overcome in recruiting and his team has regressed over the course of the season every year. He's just too old to do the job at this point. He accomplished what he came here to do which was get the program out of the gutter and rebuild recruiting pipelines. Mission accomplish. Ride off into the sunset to the beach house now.

I hadn't heard of Tim until a few weeks ago, but yeah, he doesn't hold back and seems more right than wrong with his takes. He brought up that doing what Carolina did with Howell and Maye was highly unusual too. And yeah, Maye probably should have transferred from UNC last year.

I don't see Mack retiring until his contract expires unless his health takes a turn for the worse. He seems perfectly happy cashing those checks.

It doesn’t. Attendance is at like 50%(averaged) for most teams. It’s actually a huge problem for the sport and the commissioner is losing his poo over it. 

The big teams (Yankees, Braves, Dodgers etc...) carry the other teams.  The Dodgers average almost 50,000 a game over 81 games and gets 40 bucks or more per ticket.  Oakland averages about 10,000.

      Your Feelings on Bryce Through 3 Seasons? (POLL)

      By strato · Posted

      That can be a chicken or the egg scenario. Canales knows what the QB is good at and is not good at better than we do.  He would have reasons for not calling deep shots, if he is holding back. They could include protection concerns, as well as any Young related motivations.  I think there always the chance Bryce doesn’t see the man open down the field and it is just that simple, more than a confidence issue. Probably a mix of the two.

      Dan Morgan: Panthers will pickup BY’s 5th year.

      By woahfraze · Posted

      This is a partially bad take.  Willis is the only guy mentioned here that can reasonably be expected to perform at a level higher than Bryce.  Winston and Minshew is washed, and Howell was not good in Washington as a starter and didn’t field a single snap this past year. I swear the only reason people are obsessed over him is that he went to UNC.  You’re not going to have better success, or even potential for success with those guys as your QB as you would with Bryce. Now, if you want to argue this thing from a production per dollars perspective, that it’d be better to roll with one of them instead because we could allocate the savings elsewhere on the roster, that’d be a better argument IMO. I’d disagree with it; relying on a QB making less they $5MM/year that isn’t on a rookie contract is not a winning strategy.  But I could see the argument that it’s possibly a viable alternative to Bryce on a $25MM/year contract.    But no, none of those QBs are better than Bryce.

      Dan's first draft

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      No team hits on every pick.  Every coach and GM will eventually get fired.   We are a better team and have greatly increased the talent on the roster. Bad GMs lead to losses.   I love the teams current setup in the front office and the process in how we look at talent and coaching.  Canales has often said we want to have a player developmental philosophy as a core tenant.  I love that combined with cutting edge analytics and good football knowledge and experience.
