Growl

I still remember that glorious chapter of huddle history with PantherFanForLife banging the drum about what an alpha Jimmy clausen was for refusing to back down to Scam and give him his number

Clausen didn’t not change his number because he liked 2. He didn’t change his number because he didn’t feel like he should roll over for the new guy when he was still conceivably that guy. It was a very common topic of discussion around here for a time. He didn’t have some weird attachment to 2. You can believe that or not but it was what it was and I’m not going to sit here going around and around with you over it.

It’s not about nostalgia, it’s about Matt corral having a pair. Clauses didn’t wear 2 at notre dame. He wasn’t attached to it. He didn’t give it up because hes still a grown man.

okay but the whole point of the original comment was in a scenario where Young is here

Maybe but I doubt it. If he was going to do it he should get ahead of it.

Jimmy didn’t give up #2, I wouldn’t expect Corral to give up #9 bad optics

people were just complaining how it was “poor journalistic integrity” to put Young’s score out and not Stroud’s. what is the right answer?

We blew by lying season already. This is the point where things start to filter out.

I remember the discussions being more offense vs defense oriented, honestly don’t remember anybody wanting yo gabba

It kinda just seems like you’re kidding yourself at this point if you don’t see the way it’s headed maybe it’s a big Texans smokescreen or maybe it isn’t and the Texans make a good offer anyways, maybe CJ comes in and really delivers in the interview but it’s pretty clear at this point with the way these things usually work which way it’s trending

We had to deal with the same 10 posters or so popping in every time Cam threw an incomplete pass for way longer than you’d probably believe

the teams waiting for other teams to change the paradigm before they’re willing to try new things are the teams watching those teams win super bowls

A Young-Panthers vs Lawrence Jaguars Super Bowl is going to have the nbcsports types pushing real hard for “fairness” “solutions”

Moving off the best QB is the kind of thing people make fun of you for. if they’re confident the guy their settling for is going to be elite then I’ll take most anything Houston offered but the dude you pick better be the dude

I’m interested

The super bowl winner should always have the last pick of the draft, as a kind of prize. It isn’t beneficial to be picking after all the comp picks, so maybe award them an additional pick right at the end, a final celebration and a small, but practical, reward for winning it all. Have Mr. Irrelevant hold his jersey while posing next to the Lombardi.

is the player name within the doll or is this just a ceremonial way of prefacing a selection

Miss the grind tbh Edit: expand the selection timer clock again, make me suffer

These don’t have to be good changes. Just propose changes. Here’s a few I drummed up: -Abolish 3rd round compensatory picks, making Draft Day 3 better. Then-expand the draft to 8 rounds. Why? Why not? -Have Day 1 of the draft on Friday night. Then Day 2 of the draft the following Friday. Then have day 3 of the draft the following Friday. (I hate this idea, but the media hype cycle for 4th round selections could be entertaining) -show coverage of every team’s selection, even deep into the draft, not just the ones made by NFC east teams -don’t let literally any organization, entity business, or literally just a seeming random collection of people, that wants to announce pick for the nfl draft announce a pick. Not to be a miser but I kinda agree with mayock here, maybe the kid being drafted in the 5th round out of North Dakota tech should get the spotlight, not a goat that can spit water through a balloon at the pensacola zoo. Im sorry goat, i mean no offense but this isn’t your moment. -safeguards to ensure the nfl never has a lottery. I say this because I figure that if great quarterbacks like burrow and Lawrence and whomever the Panthers take continue to transform hard luck franchises, the legacy sports media is going get tired of watching the patriots lose games to the Jaguars and start pushing for changes to be made to the draft process. Remember how badly they wanted Joe burrow to force his way out of Cincy prior to the draft?

Young creates time in the pocket, not too worried about that. Misleading stat. Alabama’s offensive line was pretty down from their normal standard.

honestly when I look at CJ he just kind of feels OOU maybe that’s why they shouldn’t draft him

Slight lean towards Stroud but there’s some real FOMO with Bryce. He does things at an elite level, right now, getting off the bus. that guys with long nfl careers never figure out. he can move the pocket and create separation for wide outs with with general body control, honestly I’ve only seen brees do it as well as he does right now my big concern is the arm strength though. Idk if it’s requisite, and it can affect his accuracy too.

Have a hard time believing that Nike didn’t have packer green or Niner gold or cowboy blue that they wouldn’t have forced them to get in the shop and make the color League should’ve dogged them on our behalf but like always, it’s us, so they don’t care

Being able to move the pocket and move within is definitely a translatable skill, anybody who says other wise is probably someone who had admitted on here they have a difficult time scouting quarterbacks
