Can we just buy him some hearing aids so his ass will quit the flase starts?

Maybe Kalil needs them instead (older article from 9/08)

http://toemeetsleather.blogspot.com/2008/09/carolina-panthers-false-start-penalty.html

"According to Ryan Kalil, he’s to blame for most of the false starts, even though he wasn’t called for any penalties. “Most of them were my fault,” Kalil said. “I know it looked like guys were jumping off-sides, but really I was having a hard time hearing (the snap count).” So what Kalil is suggesting is that while it looked like tackles Jordan Gross and Jeff Otah and tight ends Dante Rosario and Jeff King were jumping early, most of the time they actually weren’t. They were actually on time, right in tune with quarterback Jake Delhomme’s call."

Gross does not feel like the offense is holding him back from achieving his full potential. He is happy doing what he does. Peppers feels that its hard to soar with the eagles when you are surrounded by turkeys!

Exactly. Gross is part of a great line, all of them blocking for two of the league’s best running backs. Translation: his performance will directly reflect on the guys he plays alongside, and vice versa.

Peppers does not have the same opportunity. We’ve all acknowledged how is a freak in this league. In addition, we’ve all acknowledged how poorly he is used in this scheme with no legitimate pass rush opposite him. So why are we bitter when the man wants to leave to try and better himself, to try and live up to his true potential?

I hate to see the man go, as he is one of the best players we’ve had. But I can’t hate the guy for doing what’s best for him. I would say the same if Smith left for an offense that would use him more.

If the Panthers have not signed Gross to a multi-year deal by February 5th, then we will be franchising Gross, not Peppers. And we will not get a damn thing for Peppers. Hope we get a deal done for Gross ASAP, because our Front Office will not chance losing both players.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
