Mr. Scot

Agreed.

Looking like there's going to be no shortage of TE options in free agency.

Belichick's draft history isn't all Belichick. In the early years, it was as much Scott Pioli as Bill.

The Saints have franchise tagged safety Marcus Williams. For most Panther fans, their favorite image of Williams is this one.

Given who else was saying it, I think Person was probably right at the time. As far as Voth, "since last season" doesn't necessarily mean "since the beginning of last season".

The other source on this is someone I consider extremely reliable. Of course, they can also speak for themselves.

Again, Person wasn't the only one saying it.

There's also something to be said for knowing when the person you work for is a loser. At that point, you're either good enough to get a job with somebody better or you're not. Marty's now working for Dan Snyder.

Confirmed by the team...

Fair. Dan Marino not being able to run doesn't mean much. Michael Vick not being able to run is another story.

Schefter and others reporting that the tag is now official.

To be fair, Person wasn't the only one saying that. We had some other very reliable sources say the same thing. Somewhere in there, someone's mind changed. I suppose it could have been the addition of Fitterer but I don't have a solid enough grip on when things changed to be certain.

To be fair, the Bengals went through a pretty successful period right after they changed to the tiger striped helmets. Granted, that change had nothing to do with it but hey...

A place to post these as they happen, starting with...

They could still trade for somebody like Darnold. Or sign of free agent like Trubisky. I know those aren't popular options but if the alternative is Bridgewater...

If that's the path and Sewell or Slater is there, that's definitely who I want.

Can't speak on dogs, but I have pets that can both whistle and talk and they do it all without lips.

Was Russell the one that took out a loan to throw a party?

Lance or no Lance, I also doubt you're going to see the Panthers building a system around a quarterback again. It's more likely they just acquire someone they believe can run what they have.

I'm wondering if one of the folks who's better at cap stuff than I am has an idea about where this puts us. I know we can't say exactly because the NFL still hasn't made a firm ruling on the cap itself, and that affects the franchise values.

Even those who advocate drafting Lance generally agree that he's gonna need a lot of reps to be an NFL quarterback.

Our buddy Ellis seems to like this idea...

Could be worse. You could be on here arguing that we should start a third stringer at quarterback even after he looked awful in his last game.

Sorry. Don't care how good the player is. A draft that only nets you one player is a sh-tty draft.
