He could be Einstein and Plato rolled into one intellect and it doesn't matter because his 190lb frame can't stand up to a car accident worth of kinetic force regardless

Goosebumps. Good chance this is the first step of the relationship with the Panther that will finish their career with the most wins in uniform, most playoff wins in uniform, most TDs, possibly even the most games played when it's all said and done. It's even possible if it goes right we're not worrying about the QB spot again until some time in the 2040s

Agreed, not passing on Stroud's size and pocket presence for a QB shorter than most running backs

Reading the reaction on reddit and social media you'd think DJ was at the level of Chase, Hill, Brown, Jeffreson, lol

the number one QB could be a total bust and we wouldn't be any worse off than we were when Tepper hired Rhule, that's why I'm on board with the trade

It's going to be a long rest of the decade if we draft a 5'11" QB to play in today's NFL

I hope and pray this happens. Huge stroke of luck if one of our opponents cripples their franchise by giving away their future draft picks and burning their cap space just to sign a small, run-first, injury prone QB ask yourself this: If Lamar is worth that kind of $$$, why didn't a really smartly run organization like the Ravens offer him that kind of deal, when they wouldn't even have to give up draft picks to do it?

This is just about the worst SB winner in recent memory to make this thread for, lol. Mahomes didn't have to throw to anyone in tight coverage just about the whole game, that's how bad philly's defense was getting outcoached.

Fans want it both ways. Incompetent maybe, but not rigged. I damn well know if the Panthers lost a game by a close margin because they went 3-and-out on one of their drives where the playclock was inadvertently running when it shouldn't have been, fans on here would be furious that it wasn't corrected

Andy Reid, Bruce Arians, Pete Caroll times two, Bill Belichick, Gary Kubiak, Tony Dungy,Jon Gruden, and Dick Vermeil were all retreads who won the big game and that's just this century. In fact i'd say it's more common than not that a coach who isn't coaching for the first team that hired him wins the superbowl. I like Reich and hopefully we give him someone better than Darnold to work with

But he was drafted with the 53rd pick. I've been reliably informed by the huddle that the Panthers screwed themselves forever by playing out of pick 3 and all the way up to pick 9.

Good, let them team up and faceplant against Hebert and Mahomes twice a year while giving up draft capital for that privilege.

A pr*ck like Sean Payton going to Denver just to get his faced bashed in by Mahomes every year would be a very satisfying ending to his career

I wonder if the other owners laugh at Tepper debasing himself trying to give it away like a nympho every offseason to whatever hot commodity crops up and still getting turned down hard

The only thing that gives me hope that Tepper won't jeopardize the franchise future by giving away high draft capital and total control to a 60 year old flight risk is that he could have given Watson the fully guaranteed albatross deal and we probably would have landed him, but he wisely backed away

So per one post we're going to trade our 2024 1st to move up to get Stroud, and another we're going to use it on a 60 year old coach. I guess we just try and close both deals before they notice the con then?

Trading high draft capital for a 60 year old coach who made his bones with a top 10 QB ever and really not anything else after that would be an emblematic error for a star f***er of an owner like Tepper. Jon Gruden had a better case to make as a big splash retread than Payton does and we all know how that turned out

unless he's bringing prime Brees with him then who cares, and no thanks at the price of the 9th pick

If those are the interviewees then Wilks has already been told the job is his

Aren't there people on this board who think one of the reasons Andrew Luck declined to declare for the draft in 2011 is on advice from Harbaugh? Lol

Yeah i'm not worried about this. There's a long lasting, unspoken gentleman's agreement among owners to artificially cap coaching pay because otherwise you end up with Belichick and Reid and others making pro-bowl player level salaries; it's a small club and they know not to piss the other 31 off

Some posters here are like Charlie Brown and the football with this guy. How many times does he have to pretend he's leaving Michigan before people wise up? Not like he'd come here versus an opening in Indianapolis, Denver, or New Orleans anyways

This is the NFL, not the NBA, if you can't put a winning team together after years of drafting in the top 10, that's an indictment of your franchise, and it wouldn't have mattered at that point if you'd have top 3 picks

I agree, players would run through a wall for him too. If Tepper was willing to flout the other owners' price fixing agenda when hiring Rhule, he damn well better be willing to brush off their blackballing of Flores

Really? And if so what difference did it make? Apparently not any
