There's a virtually limitless pool of cheap camp bodies in FA at any given moment that they could pull from if that's all they were looking for. There's clear precedent of them cutting players on rookie contracts, as well as a ton of roster shuffling of the cheap bottom-dwellers for depth. Hell, they cut Jordan Scarlett at the beginning of last season, who was from the same draft class as Little/Grier. It doesn't make sense that they would hold onto trash players who are a lost cause because "they're cheap", when they could take a shot at an unknown in FA at a comparably dirt-cheap contract. There has to be some kind of redeeming quality or incremental development they see in practice with these two that we aren't privy to.

You can point to players like Little and Grier being inactive for most of the season or at least being relegated to third string as a serious indictment....but there’s also a reason why they still haven’t been outright cut despite being pretty terrible on the field. I would guess the coaching staff still thinks there is the possibility of developing them. This coaching staff hasn’t shown any hesitation whatsoever in cutting losses with deadweight players.

Generally when a player is “balling”, they don’t get moved to Guard after their rookie season and replaced by a low-tier FA.

Hell I wouldn’t mind taking a flyer on a 6’5 260 pound TE with a 40” vertical running a 4.65 as far as the 90-man off-season roster...the final 53-man roster is a different story though, depending on how training camp/OTAs went.

On the surface it seems pretty contradictory...but it's actually fairly consistent and predictable. Whichever narrative maximizes the amount of whining about the team, is the one Huddlers will latch onto.

I swear the dude is Linville's awkward kid brother.

I’d be wondering why the Executive Vice President of Player Personnel is calling to execute trades.

All of Darnold's 1200+ throws over the past three years? I'm assuming you mean like two YouTube analysis/breakdown videos, right?

I don't think you can just broadly lump Pitts in with our other "weapons". What we need is a red zone threat who can score TDs, and it isn't clear that we have one on the roster right now (outside of maybe CMC). Pitts could offer unique, much needed utility there.

It was reported that Gettleman tried to trade up to 2nd overall to draft Leonard Fournette. Most people are already critical of drafting running backs in the first round (and rightfully so)...imagine trading up to NUMBER 2 OVERALL to take one.

I mean...they won 2 out of their last 3 games (both against playoff teams) when they were guaranteed the 1st overall draft pick. You think it'd be hard for them to find a way to lose those games if they were committed to tanking?

Never heard Teddy described as “not afraid to take chances”.

If CMC is iron, this dude is probably a rotting 2x4...but hey, I’ve been pleasantly surprised with the relative nobodies we’ve trotted out in the last couple years: Bonnafon, Davis, even Rodney Smith. Maybe we’ll be adding this guy to the list.

This dude? He's gonna be rusty as hell trying to make a comeback after 20 years.

Speaking of train wrecks...thoughts on your Steelers last year?

Ignoring the general intelligence of each fan base....why would you assume that the average Panther fan knows more about Elflein than the Vikings/Jets fans who have actually routinely watched him play on Sunday?

"Oh my godddd it's like Hurney all over again!!!" Or maybe...just maybe.......Hurney did things (some of which were very stupid) that every GM in the league does. It'll be even more hilariously ironic if we end up drafting Parsons at 8th overall...even though I have it on good authority Hurney is the only GM in the history of the NFL who has ever drafted a LB or RB in the first round.

All the Huddlers who still think Hurney is their GM are gonna be really disappointed if nothing happens.

What exactly did he do for the Eagles? Putting up 9 points in their playoff loss to the Seahawks? Is that where we’re setting the bar for performing?

It's amusing when he uses emojis deliberately as an attempt to project this image of being unbothered and indifferent by a heated exchange, when it's common knowledge that the emojis come out when he's madddd lol.

I read into it a little more and the allegation is that this Hensley fellow was cheating on his wife at the strip club, and these photos allegedly prove some kind of infidelity. Otherwise simply going to a strip club isn't all that incriminating for most people lol.

It'll still all boil down to the scouting/evaluation of each individual QB. What round a QB was drafted in is ultimately meaningless as a standalone metric; the only reason we reference it, is because it's convenient to make these types of generalizations when we're looking at things at a macro level. Think of it this way: if we draft Mac Jones in the 1st round vs. the 2nd round, does that mean he's more likely to succeed? Arguably less so, since we'll presumably be getting a lesser complementary player in the 2nd round as a result (i.e. WR, o-lineman).

Our o-line is a million times better than what he has had to endure throughout his career in Seattle lol.
