yea Dan blew this up, "Ive had no team calling about trading Dalton".

I was thinking Adam was doing the Panthers a favor....then Dan is like "WUT?, NEVER HAPPENED"

I only see a big bro deal with one of the young QBs, one fact is Miami was trading for Dalton 2 years and that QB coach is here now.....one less want out there among teams. 

Like others have said, if anyone watched his last last...he looked 38 and maybe older. It just wasn't his slow foot speed, it was the decisions too. ugh....

Still why have a #2-3 old guy, when that's the QB coach job?? He's cheaper and doesn't cost a roster spot.

It is kindof dumb to not simply lie and say "yeah, I have had discussions with numerous teams about Andy, he still has a ton of value in this league"

I mean, you'd see how good of liar Dan is. his interviews are weird. his voice and drugged look, its like he's super nervous. 

I wouldn't want to get NFL's top reporter upset at me. he's a great tool to use if on good terms.

He has always sounded that way going back to when he was a player. Difference is he sounds like he is being extremely careful in what and how he says things.

I don't member his old 2003 interviews. I do recall him not caring about doing them and just being all serious and business-like. 

These just feel sooo weird to me. Like he's on coke and not liking the bright lights. IDK...it maybe just me over-thinking it. Its un-natural, like a old mark zuckerberg......even with the snips of water to collect words/thoughts. My guy doesn't blink at all.....

No I agree it’s odd. He sounds like he’s handpicking every word and syllable one by one.

When I look at Dan I see a guy that is overworked to the point it shows. I see people say he is like a dumb jock basically. I don’t think he’s stupid. He is very transparent, kind of guileless. 
 

I don’t mind him being a straight shooter. I think it buys credibility which is helpful when negotiating with other GMs. 

The thing he did with AT and Minnesota last year I believe probably won him some points with prospective FA vets. Which does not hurt a team people may have doubts about joining.

Worked like a charm in the Burns and XL trade

Both those were deals with people he knew socially as well as having worked with them. If you are grousing about the price or the return, that isn’t my point. That is a different thing. 

I am talking people you don’t really know all that well and maybe haven’t dealt with, and in this context: If they ask about a player and you are known as trustworthy, it is an asset. They will take your word for something and know you aren’t bullshitting them.

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
