He specifically explained what his preferred nickname is last night. He said he will accept T-Mac but not Tet and his friends call him NALO and it's his brand. His Grandmother approves Tetairoa and Nalo so I'm using Nalo.

Lmaoo...funny. this sounds like the type of stuff everybody said we be a concern about shedeur.

No it's just what his friends call him. He will accept T-Mac but not Tet. His grandmother hates Tet but likes Nalo. So that is his brand, NALO.

You rarely get to pick your own nickname though.  Others largely dictate that.  Otherwise, I'd just  prefer to be called Brad Pitt #2.

My history as a Panthers fan has told me that I don't know poo about player evaluation so I'll just hope for the best again.

I will say this, I have read and heard a ton about TMac's inability to get separation. Ted Ginn got a lot of separation, but it didn't really help because his hands were average. If TMac can capitalize when the ball comes his way, he might turn out ok. Not to mention that separation doesn't matter as much in the red zone where everyone is bunched up. I'd be happy to have a cheat code type WR in the end zone.

People that thought we were done at WR were lying to themselves.  We have needed a #1 WR since Moore left and this was a high need pick.

the real #1 spot in a Bryce Young O isn't going to be a big body on the outside though.  Which is why a discarded WR that the league pretty much said shouldn't be a starter anymore had a mini-rebirth.   We all knew where Bryce natually would go w/ the ball when we drafted him and are building a roster.....suited for Jake Delhomme.

It's not safe to assume the when a coach says he's happy with a particular position that that statement will exclude them from adding to it.

my history tells me that half the fun of being a fan is pretending that if I was GM we would be 17-0 if they just listened to whatever I make up off of watching random college kids play a random game or so.

I mean honestly looking back at the last 5 years or so I feel confident anyone on this message board would have had at least the same level of success lol

Yeah, we are going to disagree here.  Thats nonsense

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Ok--I have seen some sample items, and I would like to see something (if possible) measures on field intelligence--maybe how quickly you can grasp a playbook or absorb film session adjustments...Back when we had Morrison as team president and Hurney as GM, I offered to assess (as part of my research in education requirement at a University) emotional intelligence and learning styles of players to help coaches teach more effectively.  Morrison loved it and contacted me about it.  Hurney was not interested, and it fell through the cracks.  My pitch?  If only 50% of first-rounders become successful NFL players and that number drops significantly, can you tell me that you are effectively measuring talent?  Morrison thought it was a good point and wanted to do something that might improve long-term success rates--that would impact the cap management, etc.  Marty, according to Morrison, said he was not interested at this time and if so, he would want a football guy to do it.  (I told Morrison that I played in college and Hurney, a sports reporter at one time, did not. He told me that Hurney played as a Guard in college--who knew?) Any way, about that time, Morrison left (2017) and the idea was dropped.  I reached back out a year later or so to Marty was still not interested.  A few days later, his wife accused him of assault or something, so I dropped it.

      Pretty sure they still do the Wonderlic they just don't publicly release the scores.

      I just thought he was under the radar--but thanks for opening our eyes to him.  I think we should have better measures for intelligence--such as reaction time, angles, etc. Legette is raw as heck, for example, and his RAS was very high.  We used to do the Wonderlic (which was not great) but to know how effectively a player makes on field decisions would be great.
