Mr. Scot

Pretty sure they put out an official statement saying they had no plans to talk to Brady. Interesting question though

I'm actually having great luck with that and other things right now, so...

If you wanted to troll, better title would have been "Panthers acquire Lamar Jackson". You'd likely have been banned though, so...

Meaningless now, but it wasn't so meaningless to the guy trying to win the head coaching job at the time.

That thought crossed my mind

Good old fashioned the bottom of the roster churn

That wouldn't be surprising for what they do. I've said before that technically it's not the college staff's job to get their players ready for the NFL. Their job is to win games at the college level. Mind you, those two things used to go hand in hand way more so than they do now.

Yeah, that's a dumb argument, no different than saying it's better to keep a bad coach than to fire them. (but then, I'm pretty sure you made that argument last year too)

I'd say this is more "hospital bed" than "dumpster". Cohen was pretty good before the injuries.

Playing poorly isn't necessarily preferable to not playing. (especially not at the most important position on the field)

It's not hoodoo either. There's a genuine reason behind the "curse". Ohio State's talent tends to be vastly superior to their opponents. Their quarterbacks are typically throwing the wide open receivers so prowess with reads isn't a big necessity. You don't practice it, you don't learn it.

Was gonna say the same thing. Yeah it's early, but it's not like we haven't seen this from Fields before. And I know there are folks who think it would have been different if he were here, but given who was in charge at the time that's kind of a tough argument to defend. Rhule didn't really want a rookie. And frankly he doesn't really fit the profile for the kind of quarterback Reich prefers. The Ohio State QB curse strikes again.

I can relate. At least Lady Cowboy Fan doesn't call me that. She prefers "idiot"

Have I mentioned that you're an a--hole?

I have NFL Plus already, but thanks. And sadly, I doubt I'd have the time or the energy to do your work justice. Health issues have made everything harder these days. That's why I only ended up writing one coaching profile this year. Mind you, deep football analysis is absolutely something I continue to love. I record all Panther games just in case I want to review them, but I rarely end up doing so. Used to be I watched them at least twice, but anymore not so much. Kudos on the job you're doing with them though

That's been my thought also...

I don't think too many people have an issue with optimistic predictions. The ridiculous overreaction when those predictions don't come true, on the other hand...

It is, and it's the kind of thing I wish I still had time to do as well but not these days. Retirement gets busy sometimes

This will bring the team roster to a total of 70 players, plus injured reserve and such.

Not yet confirmed, but yeah... Clarification: Looks like Cohen is signing to the practice squad.

Biggs is the best source for anything Bears related.
