Refs running clock for Rams? Wth haha

So now refs are getting overly involved? So strange after not making So many other calls

That is another penalty on Bengals

Finally. So many blatant penalties of Bengals not called.

Safe play calling. Taking safe misdirection shots at times. What I expected. They'll open up their playbooks if both offenses minimize their mistakes and the score stays close. Both teams planning on holding the ball for the last 2 minutes of the game.

LSU fans running amok with their blind loyalty on every NFL forum. They take it personal. Jamarcus Russell who?

Jay-Z sighting!!! Matt Rhule next to him?

yep. every year 4+ more WRs come into the NFL better than DJ Moore.

With the 2022 draft talent pool, you trade down. The talent between the 2 and 5th round are very close to the the 1st round talent in this draft. There are only 10 to 12 players worth a 1st round pick in this draft pool.

What are the red flags on Matt Corral? Need to know the bad that comes with the good. He is a hot head. Gets into fights. Think a mix of Cam Newton, Jeff George, Johnny Manziel, Jim McMahon and Ryan Leaf. This is the demeanor of the QB you want when you take Matt Corral. He will break rules, break laws, break faces with his throwing hand. It's Matty's world and we just live in it. He obviously has great talent and athleticism. Outside of his flat rocket balls, high throws, and overthrows (similar to Cam's passing style). He also has a well known injury problem. Would you want a smaller more fragile version of Cam Newton and his reckless play style when he runs, doesn't protect the ball, and doesn't slide? If yes, then Corral is your QB. He has issues through HS and college with authority, drugs, alcohol, and fighting. I don't see him doing well with millions in his bank account and no chaperone (like the one that follows him around at college). Ole Miss did not get Corral because they were his choice. The schools Corral wanted like USC, Georgia, and Florida did their due diligence and passed on him. Corral has not been an easy player for the coaches of Ole Miss to corral during his time at Ole Miss. In Corral's own words, he has been mad at the world. He believes his words get constantly taken out of context. Is his 5 star talent and athleticism worth it? I don't see Corral and Rhule mixing well. I don't see Corral getting past 5 years in the NFL, and it won't be due to a lack of ability or athleticism.

Are you talking about the legendary Rhule 7 year plan from Temple and Baylor? I think Rhule mastered that with 1 year at Penn State... no ... his 1 year at Albright? no ... his 2 years at Buffalo? no ... his 1 year at UCLA? no ... his 4 years at Western Carolina? hmmm. no ... his 6 years at Temple? hmmm still not 7 ... his 1 year with the NY Giants? nope. ... his following 4 years at Temple? well, he jumped ship and came back for a total of 10 years. This must be the plan? no? ... his 3 years with Baylor? No. I'm confused. Where has he proven this 7 year genius plan that will work in the NFL with the current state of the CBA that keeps rookies for 4 to 5 years and free agents stay for less than 3 years? Is he saying his 10 broken up years with Temple is how he mastered this? As a DL coach(1 year), QB coach(1 year), OC(4 years), Jumped ship(1 year), Head coach(4 years)? A record of 64-61 over that period of time, and it took Rhule until his 10th year with Temple to erase his losing record with that team. In the first 7 years with Temple, Rhule had a 38-48 record. Rhule has been in 6 Bowl games Where he went 2-4. He never beat a ranked team with Baylor. He did destroy the Baylor program in his first season as HC. So, tank a team and become medicore. Then tout mediocrity as success so he can jump ship to tank another program and claim he built it back up to mediocrity. I give you, Matthew KENNETH Rhule. The amazing gaslighting coach! Ponzi master of American football! A grand 7 year plan of destroying your team, a decade of mediocrity, more losing seasons than winning seasons, and a HC waiting for the first glimpse of success so he can cash in by jumping ship. I dedicate this to David Tepper in honor of hiring Matthew KENNETH Rhule. You were duped Mr. Billionaire!

Rebuild starts in 4 more years. That's what Rhule promised, right?

Your facts are glaringly wrong. Bad research and bad math. Brush up on your HBCUs.

Starting is your bar? Low bar. I've already posted the answer to your first question, and even included day 2 on another topic. I don't think you know, unless all you are looking at is 2021 starters (13%). (sample size of 1 outlier season) 8 of the NFL franchises have QBs beyond day 2 as their franchise leading QBs. You tossed out day 2 as well. So, you wanted to boost first round picks or you think there is no chance Aqeel Glass can go in the 3rd round? Only 18 franchises have QBs in the 1st round as their franchise leaders. Not very dominant. If you knew more than 2021, you wouldn't have made this post. Doubt you would ever highlight an NFL season with 10 to 16 starters that were not selected on the first 2 days of the draft. You likely think these seasons never happened. Of the Panthers 11 QBs to lead the team, 5 of them have not been selected on the first 2 days of the draft. On average, how many NFL starters during the SB era are outside the 3rd round for an NFL season? I've given you some hints. You could probably guess it with the facts I have just given you. As for your second question, HBCU starting NFL QBs are rare. So, when scouts notice one and put them on the NFL draft radar, you better take notice. The last 3 all went to the SB. 2 of them won the SB. Since the opening up of the passing game in the late 70s, these have been the only 3 HBCU starting NFL QBs. 3 for 3 on SBs is pretty good, right? Rare finds are hard to come by. Do your research before you think you know. You're welcome.

The top 15 QBs are much closer than the media positions it for their big boards. The only QBs worth getting in this draft are Aqeel Glass, Jack Coan, and Kaleb Eleby. So, why spend the 6th pick on a QB. Huge waste of draft capital. These QBs are late round 2 to 5th round talent. None of the QBs are capable of producing at a 1st round expectation out of the gate. Less risk and bigger reward with Glass and Coan.

He's great if you just want to attack the middle and right side of the field. Too bad this isn't college defense anymore. Whipple took 3 seasons to figure out how to scheme around Pickett's deficiencies. If Whipple were a head coach in the NFL, he wouldn't take Pickett.

If you want a starting QB who struggles to attack the left sideline, then just get Mitchell Trubisky. He'd be cheaper and the outcome will be the same. Not to mention the Panthers could use the 6th round pick for a franchise player.

Fitterer is the one who puts the chips on the table. If he doesn't want it on the table, it won't happen. He just can't cut players or sign players unless Rhule agrees. So, for anything to happen Rhule and Fitterer need to agree. That's why everything is moving so slow with personnel changes.

I only go with players in the 1st round that demonstrate top talent, competitive edge, intuitive thinking, years of exceptional leadership, and a passion/dedication to the game that they have carried with them since before they stepped on a high school field. These are the only players I have confidence to have 10+ years of production. There are only 11 players in the my top 40 talent pool that make this cut. 1. Devin Lloyd ILB Utah 2. Tyler Linderbaum C Iowa 3. Jermaine Johnson OLB/Edge DE FSU 4. Aidan Hutchinson DE Michigan 5. Kyle Hamilton S Notre Dame 6. George Karlaftis DE Purdue

You're right. That sign seemed to solve the Panthers problems in 2021, we just cant see it yet. Hopefully, they make Rhule stare at it all practice long and fire the idiot who created that sign. Nothing saids champion mindset or winning culture like a sign to negatively reinforce a pattern of self-deprication.

We need WRs who can be playmakers before we worry about a WR coach. Moore and Anderson were the 3rd most targeted receiver duo in the NFL. They finished as the 27th best duo in the number of targets needed to score a TD. They finished 31st in targets needed for a first down. They did finish 1st as a duo among the league in one category - dropped passes. DJ Moore was 6th in targets, 9th in 1st downs, 12th in receptions, and 61st in receiving TDs. The Panthers were in the middle of the league in pass attempts. They would have been in the middle of the league in completions too if they get rid of the drop squad. An average passing game made worse by receivers who could not produce. Darnold is by no means a good QB, but fans need to realize his receivers are worse. They will make almost every QB in the NFL look bad. Receivers on both the Jets and Panthers have been able to catch at a high % from Darnold with the exception of Moore and Anderson.

I would do my best trading the 6th and any player outside of CMC, Shaq, Abdullah, or Chinn to get Devin Lloyd and Tyler Linderbaum instead of using the 6th on Pickett. If I were forced to take Pickett at 6, then... Christensen and Moton at OT, sign Trai Turner for OG, draft Zach Tom for OG/OC/leadership, draft Jack Wohlabaugh to direct the OL at C and take leadership role, and draft Andrew Steuber as OL depth. Sign Tyler Vrabel as UDFA for OL depth. Sign Kyle Long as veteran OL depth/mentor. Cut ties with Miller, Jordan, Daley, Scott, Erving, Paradis, Tecklenburg and Efflein. Moton - Tom - Wohlabaugh - Turner - Christensen as the starting OL Long, Steuber, Vrabel, Brown, Horton as depth. Long, Vrabel, and Wohlabaugh come from NFL families with great work ethic. OL fixed and ready to go. Strong, smart, and deep enough to win games and get a team into the playoffs.

I wish I could hope for the IT factor. A QB with IT doesnt have 4 bad seasons and then flash their final "contract" year when they get an IT TE in Batholomew, and a featured IT receiver in Addison.

Seems like a lot of coaches that are auditioning for a HC position with the Panthers when Rhule heads back to college.

What about his Trubisky like limits on his throws down the left sideline with more ball wobble and float? Mid field and right side are great. OC at Pitt limited his passes to the left to rollouts all the way to the sideline before he squared up his shoulders. His INTs are primarily on his left side, and he will run a majority of the time and not look to pass if he is flushed to the left. Trouble holding onto the ball too on runs and when defenders swipe at his throws from behind. He can't grip and pull the ball down with just his throwing hand. Defenses will figure him out quickly like Trubisky. I wish there was a way to just let Pickett focus on the right side of the field in the NFL. He'd be hard to stop.
