Darren Newsome asked him how does he stack up to the other WR's here? Basically asking him to poo talk his new teammates and Tmac said he wasn't going to answer the question.

yeah, that's a bad question.  Just ask him his strengths.

"Well, I'm about 1/3 of a second slower when chasing down racoons than XL, but I'm a little faster at skinning them."

Great interview. I like the kid a lot.

Also I did not initially realize the game tape remarks were back when he was a freshman in high school. I assumed with all the angst surrounding that this was when he was at least in college. Of all the things to criticize him for this is getting ridiculous.

I believe it was freshman in college?  That would put him around 19 years old.

He couldn't have responded much better to the question, though.

Yes.  If everyone’s assessed career trajectory was based on a thoughtless statement he or she made when they were 17/18 most folks (self included) would be in real trouble. I am dubious of this pick but it is the pick and want to be fair. Judging his or anyone’s character or work ethic based on a comment coming out of high school is completely unfair. He had the correct answer btw.

If XL cures his drops, this pairing will feed families.

Also really want mic‘d up content of XL talking to TMac. Would be pure comedy.

I feel like iron sharpens iron.  No way he doesn't learn a bit from T-Mac.  T-Mac is a plucker, not a framer.  Heard that on an interview somewhere.  He is going to be under immense pressure to improve now, and it will also take the heat off of him.  He benefits from this move as much if not more than Bryce does.

Mic'd up is going to be fantastic.  We have a lot of different personalities and accents here.  Thielen was already translating.  People bond through laughter.  I can't wait.

You could be right maybe I misheard but still at 18 or 19 years old we can give him some grace. We've all needed to do a little growing in those years of early adulthood that's life. Just listening to his background and upbringing you can tell his Mom especially didn't raise a deadbeat by any means. We just have to give him a chance to prove himself.

Already speaking like a locker room leader to me.  He keeps referencing history and the Polynesian people.  If he is not all talk, I think we will see great things from him.  He already seems to know our coaching staff and has voiced his faith in them as well.  Seems like a great fit.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
