I think you are joking here, but that wouldn't be a nightmare scenario, it would be the final nail in the coffin of this franchise.

It would mean firing a coach for the 3rd straight year, to hire a guy who is NOT an NFL coach, his style won't work with NFL players, it only can work with college kids.  And then you'd be drafting his son and thus locking yourself into a situation for 3 years where you can't fire the coach no matter how bad it goes because it would then basically make your QB refuse to play for you if you did.

That's all also before even taking into consideration that Sanders is nowhere near as good as the hype around him is, if he was as good as the hype, Colorado wouldn't have been as bad as they were this year

How do you feel about us throwing 100mil at a guard?

 

I know you were big on not spending big money this year.

“more teams are involved”

then why are we discussing settling, what is the apparent rush to get this done

I assume to open up cap space when deals become official on Wednesday and to quickly pivot to the crop of unsigned edge rushers before they get claimed.

I can deal with a 1st next year. We could be in a Bears situation with 2 top 5 picks.

 

Draft Sanders and the top WR. Hire Deion as HC.

 

*Just messing with you Linville. That would be your worst nightmare huh?

Nah, it would be a dream scenario. At this point I'm practically begging for this franchise to do something that would force me to cut ties. I wish they'd hired Sean Payton.

We lost Burns months ago.  All that is left is trying to get something for him

Scott Fitterer missed that boat with the Rams trade but hey we had all those cute memes the team put out like "In Fitt We Trust" and "Gettin' Fitty wit it" when they traded up to the first overall pick last year.

doesn’t really sell with me friend. We’re talking about giving up our only remaining pass rusher against an supposed deep crop of bidders. You drive the price up as long as possible. The cap will be fine in the interim. 
 

signing those replacement pass rushers makes you look less desperate to get something done, but here we are again with the team telegraphing that they have to get some thing done. “It doesn’t bother me if this doesn’t happen” is the most empowering position of any negotiation and hedge fund guy had persistently failed to perceive this in the football world

Yea, I saw your post and chose to ignore it because it was stupid

I never once said we shouldn't be spending money, I've said time and time again that we need to spend it wisely.

No, I don't love paying that much for a guard, but he fits the mold of who I said we should be spending on, someone young enough that can be a good player for not only this contract, but still young enough to sign another with us when this one is done.

I was against throwing enough money at Ridley to come here instead of going to a contender, as his age at his position doesn't make him likely to be even elite for the length of a 3-4 year contract, let alone sign another after.

Im guilty of posting a couple of those laser eyes ones.

I've seen enough of Morgan and already want a new GM.

      Panther Needs (3/14): The Shift to Defense

      By shaq · Posted

      Darrell Jackson would be a fantastic pickup for us, I think he could replace 80% of what A’Shawn gave us last year. With more passing rush upside going forward in the future, I’m a big proponent of large framed defensive tackles. Pairing Derrick Brown with another 6’5 35inch arm length DT would be so fun to watch. Let’s continue being huge in the middle, allow our linebackers to flow to the ball uninterrupted.

      Fully agree that the best thing to do is ignore them, which takes a away their thrill of thinking they got to you.

      I agree with you on the pick of Thienemen in the first. I think he will still be there and he's a smart, fast and sturdy player. He's who we need back there. In the second, I like Rodriguez over Golday. I agree that off the ball linebackers are desperately needed here, even with our great FA pick up. I think with our third pick, we're going to dip into OT territory instead of the D-line. While I agree that we need another disruptor at the point of attack that is stout enough to just stonewall a center and a guard at the same time, we've got a shaky and expensive O-line at the present that is just about to age out of the game. I think we snag Blake Miller out of Clemson here and give him a year behind Moton to learn and put some weight and strength on. He can also jump right in and play right guard at any time. Also, and this might sound crazy, but anyone who has put up with multiple seasons at Clemson will be able to take the heat and humidity of training camp at the start of the season and early games against the NFCSouth.  Beyond that, your guess is as good as mine. We do need that QB for competition and realistically to study for back-up. Luke Altmyer out of Illinois seems to fit the mold of the point guard type QB that they want from Bryce. That'd make an apples to apples situation that could make coaching and game planning easy. On the other hand North Dakota State's Cole Payton could be an intriguing choice as well as a big dual threat guy. Both could be there for our fourth pick or both could be gone. Will QBs continue to slide this season like last? Who knows?
