2018 was the turnaround here. I came here in 2010 when I discovered the Panthers had a forum. Joined in 2011 when I wanted to get in on the discussion and it was great for 7 years but in 2018 things went to hell. So I stick to App State forums now.

That sounds like good fantasy advice on a week to week basis. Why would that upset DJ?

Yeah, that was ridiculous. Best player in the draft by value added to a defense.

We used to get this. Not sure what happened.

Even then, you don't let a guy like CMC walk. He's a top back in the league and it's not even really close. Even so, his deal is a steal should you move him to be a receiver or somehow find a way to compliment him which no one has managed to figure out yet.

The NFL doesn't control his suspension. They called for indefinite suspension but because he is not an NFL employee, they are unable to do much of anything. His 6 game suspension was based on precedent. Highly suggest reading up on how law works because this process is very similar.

What's the difference between guessing and getting it wrong and just not knowing?

They have to replace a lot. Productivity may dip while he actually gets better but fans are poor judges of performance in football, especially college. Heigheigh and Likely also graduated along with most of the offensive line and running backs who have starting experience. This will be the test of how good Chadwell is, in my opinion, more so than Grayson.

Rivera is twice the coach and leader that Matt Rhule is. There is no comparison.

That would make more sense at this point. Rhule should be angling to having his defined starter by the first preseason game so real scenarios can be run.

It's Grayson McCall or bust for me. But if Baker starts and the Panthers go 11-6 and make it to the Divisional while putting up Top 12 numbers in important categories, are tou really going to jettison him? No. The scenarios Baker is cut loose with Sam are if the Panthers miss the playoffs completely and Baker sucks, or the Panthers make the playoffs in spite of his play. Otherwise we likely keep him if he shows himself to be the leader and performer the Panthers have been missing. It may also be a Jimmy G scenario where we hold onto gim for two or three seasons and then cut bait.

Hunter Renfrow?

Lol..me too bro

His suspension won't be settled until after the season starts so he will, in effect, have an injunction on serving any suspension jntil that's settled. Overall, I don't care and I don't think it matters. I think the Panthers win this game. As an aside, I'm so very glad Watson didn't end up here. The more I read about his situation the more uncomfortable I get. Add in the media circus that will follow and you've got a recipe for distraction. There is also no way he can lead a locker room of grown men if he is guilty of what is alleged. Real men do not support other men who sexually harass women in the manner that Watson appears to have done. He should be suspended for a year with some serious stipulations. At this point, it's serial and likely an addiction for him. I'm sure there are others out there that never came forward as well who may have given in to his advances.

Where? Didn't see any holding there.

We should all hope Baker and Corral shine through so we can cut bait with Sam. Trade him and take on half of his salary like we did with Baker, get your 6th round pick back and it's an even trade for a better QB.

What good does everyone getting fired do for anyone? All he will have to do is learn yet another offense. It's really astounding Baker managed to do as well as he did considering he had like 4 head coaches and as many coordinators in 4 years. I'd like to see what Baker could do with more than one season in the same offense.

I'm saying that once pressure gets there, no one is good.

There is a difference between being in on it and knowing. It's sort of like elections, you don't need all 50 states to be in on throwing something. You just need three or four key precincts throughout the entire country to change the outcome. Likewise, to throw a game in the NFL, you just need two or three people who don't even need to know. Now I'm not saying either of these things happen. I'm just saying that to get the result, you only need relatively microscopic keys.

Higgins information is easy to find. He dropped because of personal conduct issues but otherwise he would've been a very high draft pick. I think he should get run over Robbie(y) Anderson personally, especially if Baker is starting.

Yeah, when you target and have some info that the NFL is on your side regarding ref's, you WOULD KNOW YOU fuging BEESH.

We just saw 2 minutes of drills. There isn't much you can take away other than Sam looked like the third best QB in those drills.

Good. He can run drills. Can he memorize the playbook and opposing defenses? Can he command the huddle and the team? There is much more here than his physical abilities which literally no one has ever doubted.

Really? How much proof do you have of this at the NFL level? He's had two seasons, one of which was during a global pandemic with dumbass restrictions in place. So in reality he has had ONE YEAR that was somewhat normal. You have zero evidence to support this. More Huddle Bullshit.

Matt started his throw earlier as well. I don't think anyone is debating Matt's physical ability to throw a football. People are saying that an NFL playbook is far different than having NO playbook in college. So let him sit a year like Patrick Maholmes did and like Trey Lance did. What do we stand to gain from him being potentially hurt in year 1, or worse, develop bad habits, in what's probably a .500 year?
