In this slideshow, I saw a picture of D-Will at the U.S. National Whitewater Center during the team's visit there.

With all of the reporters (and others) making sure to point out that 34 was not at the practices, I thought it was interesting that he was at this event.

If this is covered somewhere else, my apologies.

In image number 6 you can see DWILL with his hat on and his Memphis shorts on.

I have done quite a bit of white-water rafting and the pictures reminded me a lot of my new scouts. Most of the time to make the raft move where you want to in the rapid, you have to continue to paddle through the rapid to go faster than the water is moving. You also have to be close to the edge of the raft in order to reach into the water to paddle.

Why did it remind me of my scouts? Most of the inexperienced and new scouts rarely paddle and lean toward the middle of the raft, more worried about not falling out then they are guiding the raft. If you look in the photos almost none of the Panther players are paddling and most are leaning toward the middle of the raft. Quite normal for guys not used to rafting of course.

I just found it interesting and funny.

Like I have 12 years old with more balls than NFL players afraid of the water. As for Eagle Scouts there are alot more of them than NFL players. Too many folks hold out dreams they are going to be a sports star which is 1 in a 100,000 opportunity at best where in my troop the chances of being an Eagle scout if you hang with it is about 1-4.

I'll bet you don't have any 12 y/o with a contract for a league minimum 300K.

I'd be afraid of getting a bruise too while my contract was suspended.

Lean in boys, lean in..

What you can't really tell from that picture is that Jimmy's side of the raft is right up against the wall.

And like I said, they were going to have fun, not to earn a merit badge.

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
