I mean I don't really want him but if we can't get Harbaugh or Carroll then I guess BB is our best chance. At least he brings some credibility to the franchise.

He has already mentioned he would be willing to give up GM duties.  He will have input obviously but not necessarily full roster control 

I mean if he can’t keep Tepper out of the decision making process nobody can

The more I learn about DeBoer, the more I like it. He’s been successful everywhere he’s coached. If he can recruit the Southeast and deal with the stress of following Saban, he will do well at Bama, I think. 

Hopefully, he keeps finding success and doesn't end up being ousted quickly because he's not Saban like a lot of guys that follow legends.

Apparently there is a 26 year old TE still playing college football.

 

At what point is it safe for kids to be playing against grown men?
 

NCAA needs to change that rule. There should be a age limit for college football. You can't play after 24. Cmon man go on with your next career. Football is not it.

The Miami dude? Bro won a challenge to get a ninth year of NCAA eligibility. A NINTH year? WTF??? This guy should have all the degrees by now.

Yeah I seen it on Sports Center just forgot the school. That's crazy. Even with the rule, a 26 year old grown man shouldn't be allowed to play sports vs kids. 

 

Age limit is all I ask for. 24 should be the max.

Lol at an age limit, our own Chris Weinke played at 28 for FSU. 

If you've played a professional sport you should definitely be ineligible. Weinke was so old in college because he'd been trying to make it as a professional baseball player first. He played five or six years of minor league baseball.

Oh I knew that. Heck byu is an interesting one too with some taking mission years before school. 

 

Did they close that loop hole that professional in a previous sport means you can't play another as an amateur?

I honestly don't know. But yeah it's wild to me that you could ever spend several years as a professional athlete then go back to college and compete against kids. That poo ain't right.

I remember 15ish years ago there was a dude pushing 30 playing in the NCAA basketball tourney for a mid-major. Dude was built like an NFL DE and just mauling kids. Like... wait a minute... da fuq is this poo???

      Dan looking at a new Conerback!!!

      Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By Icege · Posted

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
