Waiting on that controversial comment...

He was gonna 100% try to say that Conner Harrell was at least the equal to Drake Maye.

The kid flashed some talent. We didn't lose because of Harrell. We lost because Mack Brown's teams collapse down the stretch. Period. They did it with Howell. They did it with Maye. They all fall apart coming down the home stretch. It's not a player issue.

If Maye, Tez Walker, Cedric Gray play honestly we still lose. It's a late season Mack Brown game. We lose those.

My concern is that Mack couldn't achieve more than decent with teams that regressed over the course of the season with guys like Howell and Maye at QB. UNC level programs just don't have those types of QB talents back to back. It doesn't happen. Well, they're gone now. Lightning is highly unlikely to strike three times. So if we don't have an NFL caliber talent at QB what's it gonna look like? That's my concern.

Maybe Caleb Williams isn't all that special and it's actually Lincoln Riley? Everyone the guy puts on the field at QB puts up video games stats.

For the nfl I like maye slightly more then williams but you cannot deny calebs arm and athleticism.  He does however hold the ball far too long and overly tries to make big plays instead of taking whats there.  I think he will be fine in the nfl.

 

In regards to riley, his offense produces big numbers but he also has big time qb recruits playing for him.  That doesnt hurt, moss was like a top 10 qb recruit.

He is also an entitled mamas boy who gonna start crying about leaving once he faces NFL adversity. So many red flags with this dude I bet Tepper has a hard on for him

No talk of retirement, not that he should be expected to say something like that in a post game press conference.

 

He's gotta go. It's just a happy retirement gig for him. What do you mean you're not happy? We won 8 games! We went to a bowl! Nevermind that we show promise in the first half of the season before ultimately face planting and abysmally failing to live up to expectations and potential every year. 8 wins aren't created equal. We end every season playing our worst football at the end of the year and we can't gain any momentum because of it. Mack's gotta go. If he's back next year we probably win 4-5 games and start sliding back to where Fedora had us making the whole "Return of the Mack" era largely meaningless. It was a get right move to build a bridge to the next era. Mission accomplished. Don't burn the damn bridge down.

Although these bowl games are less exciting, it does help for the guys sitting behind those stars sitting out for the draft. Gives hardcore fans a chance to see the future of the team for next season.

 

I'm still about getting rid of bowl games though. The average fan is not going to watch if none of the stars are playing. I'm sure ratings will indicate that once the playoffs start.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
