Denver....

....just wasted their first round draft pick I think. I do not think The Golden Calf of Bristol's college skills as a QB will translate to the NFL. I would have put him as 3-4 round value at best....playing something other than QB.

Could be wrong. Time will tell.

The pick was definitely a big gamble, but here's how I see it: Josh McDaniels now has himself a supremely talented and athletic player who is extremely coachable that he can now totally strip down and rebuild as he sees fit, and he has a stop gap in Orton & Quinn to hold court until The Golden Calf of Bristol is ready, which will not be this year. I bet he doesn't see the field this season unless it's the final couple/few games of the season and Denver is far out of the playoff hunt.

But, yes, big gamble and time will tell whether it pays off or if it was a total waste.

so its worth giving up ure 2nd 3rd and 4th for a guy that will be a backup for 3 years? Ya sorry..no link.

Guess it will depend on what he does after those three years.....I just agree with Dimbee that it was a big gamble that could pay off or be a total waste. In the day and age of so many high profile players having no work ethic and getting suspended for sucking at life, at least you know neither one of those things will be an issue.

I just wonder what will happen when The Golden Calf of Bristol has a press conference to inform everyone that God told him to be a missionary in Africa instead.

What do you think will happen? Or was that an attempt at a funny?

If the biggest "knock" on the guy is that he's religious, then I'll take him any day over your DUI/Rapist/Gun-toting everyday NFLer every single time.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      It's your right to refer to it as vague, but it still flouts the theory of "zero evidence" that Tepper is changing. Here's another: "Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan are reportedly being given a larger leadership role within the organization. Panthers owner David Tepper 'has taken a more hands-off approach of late,' according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. 'He's trying to trust Canales and GM Dan Morgan to get it right, knowing that the roster requires patience in its current state,' Fowler wrote. 'We shall see if he holds to that.'" https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10146782-report-panthers-david-tepper-has-taken-a-more-hands-off-approach-to-team   ""David Tepper just wants to win and he's gonna supply everything that we need to win.. Things are changing around here and things are looking really positive" ~ Dan Morgan  https://x.com/PatMcAfeeShow/status/1917639137550627107?t=6vgo8yXTO6eD0Gb55hyzNg&s=19   From about 2:15-6:35, Julian Council, Locked on Panthers, gives his take on whether Tepper seems to be changing (and specifically referenced the war room in his analysis):    Dean Jones of Cat Crave on David Tepper in the war room. "He was an innocent bystander throughout a hugely important decision, placing full trust in Morgan and Tilis to make the right call." Jones also quoted Pat McAfee: "What I noticed though, at one point, they looked at (David) Tepper to get an answer, Tepper didn’t say sh*t. All anybody has said about Tepper is that he’s hands-on, hands-on, hands-on. Too handsy, too involved. He’s not letting the football people do their thing. We just watched in the biggest moment for their franchise, a top ten pick, he just sat there and let everybody do their jobs. I think if you’re a Panthers fan, you love everything you saw there." https://catcrave.com/silence-from-david-tepper-becomes-panthers-loudest-victory Granted, you're not getting a major headline here, but that's not going to happen anyway. Fowler isn't exactly a nobody, everybody knows McAfee, and you also have some locals that follow the team (including Dean Jones). Of course you have a right to believe that Tepper hasn't really changed, but to say there is no evidence that he just may be changing is not really true. It's just not. Hate the guy, but the way that he has handled this current regime is different than he handled previous teams, and his silence in the war room and publicly in general is different than years back.

      My interpretation of his comments was somewhat different. And I took issue with his contract the day he signed. But it's all history now and doesn't matter in the big picture.
