Mr. Scot

Here's a link to the actual article. Lead up to the Panthers draft (subscription required)

I'm on board.

Fields disclosed this himself.

We haven't picked up DJ Moore's either, but both are expected.

I'm just imagining being a young draft prospect interviewing with an NFL head coach, talking about schemes, my abilities, etc. And then the coach pops up and says, "all right, now we're gonna play rock / paper / scissors"

And something to watch this coming season...

Epilepsy was a big topic of discussion when I was a kid but I haven't heard much about it in recent years.

Analytics will be tracking that.

Other proposals... I like the onside kick change. The 4th and 15 idea sucks.

I know DJ Moore expressed interest in changing his number. Could see others also.

I mean, Sirianni could turn out to be a legitimately good coach. But between his press conference and stuff like this, damn is he off to a rough start.

New wrinkle in the Fields saga... Don't necessarily expect it to mean much, but it's a story.

...ummm

Referring to himself as "an aspiring NFL GM" in the story wasn't exactly a good look either.

Dear Eagle fans, Good luck.

Well remember, you didn't actually have to be good at your job to work for Jerry Richardson. You just had to be loyal. Tepper actually does seem to want his people to be competent. I just wish it hadn't taken him three years to understand that Marty wasn't.

Call Marty?

I've seen a lot of people say they could try Little at guard, but I just don't see it working. Last year, he frequently looked lost. If somebody wasn't running right at him, he had no idea what to do. I'm not sure Little trying to learn a new position, one that sometimes requires more complicated thinking than just "step back and block the pass rusher", is something that's going to work out.

Lower than Jones and Lance? Ouch

Are you including people on this board in that comment?

I'd guess he's just speculating but yeah, that seems very possible.

Fields? (assuming the 49ers don't take him)

Ledbetter has them taking Fields.

From Albert Breer (link) From Taylor Hemness (@taylorhemness): Who trades with Atlanta at No. 4? Taylor, I’m starting to think the Falcons are settling in on the idea of staying at No. 4. I’ve heard the asking price to go up there is high, and that tells me that Atlanta really values what will be able available at the pick. And if I had to guess, I’d say the Falcons are weighing the totality of taking a quarterback fourth—along with which quarterbacks would be worth taking at No. 4—against just sticking and taking a rare tight end prospect in Kyle Pitts. To me, that decision is really about timelines. Taking Pitts, for GM Terry Fontenot, means doubling down on the existing core—and, contrary to popular opinion, doing that wouldn’t be that illogical. They’d be injecting Pitts into an offense with Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley and a line with three former first-round picks on it. The defense still needs work, of course, in building around Grady Jarrett and Deion Jones. But with some development from existing young guys like A.J. Terrell and a good draft, they could get competitive there, too. I think it’s enough for Arthur Smith to have his team contending for the playoffs in Year 1. The Falcons won’t win a championship but could take a step and build momentum going into 2022 and just put off the QB question for another couple of years. Ryan is still only 35, which isn’t exactly ancient for a quarterback these days. Conversely, if the Falcons take a quarterback, they’d probably be looking at turning the page on the current core in time. There’d be $40.525 million in dead money to manage for moving Ryan after 2021. And by next March, when the 2022 league year starts, Jones will be 33 and tackle Jake Matthews will be 30, and those two would have more than $30 million in dead money between them if Atlanta decided to make calls on their futures at that point. So they’d necessarily be looking at, potentially, a two-year teardown as they plan around the new guy. Put it together, and the convenient thing here would be to stay the course behind Ryan & Co. But, of course, this is a very QB-rich year, and so if there’s a guy the Falcons view as truly special at the position … it would be pretty tough to pass on that. And D Orlando Ledbetter... Atlanta getting Sewell would suck ass.

Again, here in your second paragraph you're framing your opinion as fact. I'm telling you what's been reported. Could the story change? Sure, but it also might not.
