Johnny Gaudreau as I've said since the season needs to be considered. Canes need closers.

I just wonder what the real reason he couldn’t get another job. Was it truly his merits or was he blackballed for benching Eli

Snyder is a pervert. I haven’t seen evidence that Tepper is one of those, yet.

Oh man it’s almost as if there is a reason this team has won only 22 out of 64 games since Tepper bought the team!

hasn't even played a down for the team yet. ban

Teams will just run to Burns's side, he gets completely blown up in the run game on the regular. Reddick was actually decent against the run.

Sucks he’s getting paid $19m this season but Darnold is a competent backup QB. Could come in and win a couple games for you if your starter goes down. No reason to cut him unless some other team wants to take that $18m off the books for nothing

It’s ok, he’s Mormon. Probably only “soaked” with his moms friend.

Are you also ignoring the massive rushing totals they gave up in the many losses they endured? They gave up 100+ rushing yards in 9 games, all losses. They gave up 150+ in 5 of those games. Teams rarely win games giving up these types of numbers in the run game. Dallas - 245. Minnesota - 198 New England - 151 Washington - 190 Tampa Bay - 159 The Giants, Dolphins, Bills, and Falcons all topped 100 yards as well. And what did they do in the offseason to improve the run defense? Nothing. Literally nothing.

Those stats are skewed by a few early games where the run defense actually worked.

Run defense is going to be absolute ass

I haven't listened, how much editing was done to Robbie's statement to make that a coherent sentence?

100% agree that Brady was the bigger mistake than signing Teddy but without Brady I doubt Teddy is a Panther. But cutting Cam without a legit plan for a long term replacement was also a huge mistake

The NFL is a big dick industry you just gotta back it up.

He was probably going to hold out in Cleveland, get fined, wouldn’t make his salary, etc. Browns weren’t going to cut him because if he got cut the Browns would be eating way more of a cap hit. Baker still got ~78% of his salary and the Browns didn’t take a $19m cap hit. Him taking a pay cut had to happen otherwise both he and the browns were in a no win situation. Seemed like a pretty solid deal all around.

100% sure that wasn’t the first time he and mayfield had gone at it

Y’all the Browns paid him $10m to be traded. He didn’t take a pay cut he’s getting that money.

He would not have signed willingly with the Panthers

I'm sure they had issues, might not have been big enough to make it to the sports tabloids though. He had an alcohol related arrest while at OU and certainly pissed off some teammates and coaches with his behavior on and off the field. Baker almost got suspended a few times for generally being a douche.

Jake had as many game winning drives in his first season as a starter for the Panthers than Mayfield has in his entire career so far

Bro Delhomme was fire with the game on the line in the 4th quarter and Mayfield is absolutely garbage with the game on the line it’s the worst comparison ever made

Rivera at least knew how to build a defense. What does Matt Rhule know how to do?

You have no idea man, people are pooing me on this board because I really don't like that guy but I've lived in Austin for 11+ years and I know several people who've met/known the dude personally. There's a reason why he can't stick in one place for long. There's a reason why the Panthers own staff was split on trading for him. There's a reason he has a TON of haters. I just don't know how much evidence people need to see this wasn't that great of an idea. Even at the low low price they got him for, he comes with a ton of baggage that could turn a rough season into an absolute pit of hell. Wish the Panthers had just stuck with Darnold who at least as a person I don't dislike. He's a garbage QB but at least as a person you can just be like oh well, and move on. If Mayfield plays poorly you fall back on the fact he's also a complete douchebag and it really gets your blood boiling, coaches are going to throw him under the bus just like Stefanski, it's going to be ugly. I'm just really sad about what the Panthers have devolved into since Tepper bought the team. It's such a mess and I really don't like that guy. I'm very glad Austin FC beat his sorry ass soccer team too.

I know, they were never going to tank properly. I thought they should have forced Rhule to live or die by Sam Darnold since they traded to get him, and picked up his $19m option despite never playing a down for the team. They hitched their wagon to the guy. Now they realized they f*cked up and were able to buy low on Baker Mayfield who comes to the Panthers with a heap of his own garbage to sort through. It's a mess, and Mayfield honestly makes it more of a mess than if they never had him at all.

Baylor football was going to come back no matter what, too much $$$ in that program to stay down long.
