This smells of BS. TBH, the whole story smelled of them trying to duck his contract.

Fair amount of independent corroboration of his behavior issues, if not these specific incidents (unknown on that front).

Deal is done...

Heaven help us 😕

 

Well, I think this will be the start of me dropping NFL. But I allow to see how it goes, just feels like the end of me investing time following my favorite team.

This consensus that Arch is gonna be this surefire #1 overall prospect is pretty wild to be honest.

How is it wild? He’s a Manning. And a much less physically talented Quinn Ewers looked pretty good at times in Sarkesian’s offense. Manning could be mediocre for one year as a starter and still go #1 overall on pedigree alone.  But I expect he will put up some good stats next year.

Can't recall anyone who has carried this much hype for so long based on name alone. Not being able to supplant Ewers is a big red flag IMO. Ewers was a good college QB, but I would expect a future #1 overall pick to send him to the bench, especially as a sophomore. Maybe not as a freshman but after a year to get his feet wet at the college level if he's anywhere near his hype level then not playing him over Ewers last year was a huge mistake.

If Trubisky can go 2, Lance 3, and Zach Wilson 2 then its not a stretch to think Manning will likely be 1

I would say the argument isn't that he won't be picked highly, necessarily. But will this be another manufactured "generational" prospect?

I will say given the hype train that has been with Arch so far, it's very unlikely he will be able to live up to it.

Panthers games will still be free in the local market, so it won't impact that. I will say that if the NFL is damned and determined to make it as difficult and expensive as possible to watch their product outside of local broadcasts, I am likely going to opt to pirate or abandon further attempts to follow ALL the NFL.

It's not hard with a fantastic Hurricanes team and a finally Jordan free and seemingly logical Hornets franchise.

All the major sports leagues are.  It's really stupid.  You have to subscribe to like 10 streaming services to watch every game (including the relevant league pass)

They're just trying to suck all the money out of the fans, but they will kill fan enthusiasm eventually.  Who's going to take our place when you have to pay a premium fee to even watch the games?  Sports can't be successful without an audience.  We won't be around forever.

      That's why I said stats aside. I lived in CO during Allen's college career and didn't have kids at the time so I watched most of his games. Bruh, I'm telling you. Balls just spraying all over the place. The type of throws where you're honestly trying to figure out who he was even trying to throw that one too. It was crazy. Richardson was inaccurate in college but at least you could tell who he was trying to throw it too. He threw a lot of early in the game Cam Newton type balls where it seemed like he was just a little too amped up and everything was a few feet high.

      Post- Training Camp 53-Man Roster Projection

      By Seltzer · Posted

      A lot can change over the next week, but here is my best 53-man roster (note: I'm just basing this on guys on the 90 man roster currently). Obviously there could be trades/ waiver claims/ FA signings.   Offense (25) QB (2): Bryce Young, Andy Dalton RB (3): Chuba Hubbard, Rico Dowdle, Trevor Etienne TE (4): Tommy Tremble, JT Sanders, Mitchell Evans, James Mitchell WR (7): Tetoria McMillan, Xavier Legette, Adam Theilen, Jalen Coker, Hunter Renfrow, Jimmy Horn, Brycen Tremayne  OL (9): Ikem Ekwonu, Damien Lewis, Austin Corbett, Robert Hunt, Taylor Moton, Cade Mays, Chandler Zavala, Brady Christensen, Yosh Nijman    Defense (25) DL (6): Derrick Brown, Bobby Brown, Ashawn Robinson, Tershawn Wharton, Sam Roberts, Cam Jackson OLB (5): DJ Wonnum, Pat Jones, Nic Scourton, Princely Umanmielen, Thomas Incoom  ILB (5): Trevin Wallace, Christian Rozeboom, Krys Barnes, Jon Rattigen, Claudin Cherelus S (4): Trevon Moehrig, Demani Richardson, Lathan Ransom, Nick Scott  CB (5): Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson, Chau Smith-Wade, Corey Thornton, Shemar Bartholomew    ST (3): LS: JJ Jansen  P: Sam Martin  K: Matthew Wright    Would like to hear everyone's thoughts

      He was a more accurate passer at 56.2%. That's what I mean. Even by outlier standards, this dude was inaccurate. Closest I can recall to something like that would have been one of those GT QB's like Reggie Ball. Career 48.6% passer.
