Mr. Scot

In part, helping to hire Matt Rhule

It's his thing, of late; accusing everyone who disagrees with him of having multiple accounts. Wonder why he'd think that

Is he sober?

In that scenario, the Panthers are equally happy with either Young or Stroud. (and probably get Stroud)

I struggle with Mike Lombardi in particular. His takes are very hit or miss. And yeah, I've not heard of a single character issue with Stroud.

The Panthers seem to be thinking about it...

FYI: Not a draft visit but a cool moment for Jaycee Horn...

But when one or two of them happen to get in on a thread, look out

Well, there was the Lingerie League. (which, if my significant other is reading this, I want to make clear I absolutely positively never watched a single second of; I only know about it from seeing news articles online)

I mean, it could be, but so could Stroud, Richardson or Levis. And hell, even the best coaches and personnel guys make mistakes. But I'm like you. I trust the people we have in charge now and will do so till they give me reason not to. (here's hoping that doesn't happen anytime soon)

The Young talk is valid. He's definitely very possible, though all reliable sources say the decision isn't made yet. That said, on the occasion of the Texans offering a decent package to trade up, do the Panthers take it? If the offer's good enough, I think they do. Mind you, that doesn't make the Young discussion a smokescreen. It's just the acknowledgment of another possibility.

I've not seen anything prior to this that even hinted at that. Will be interesting to see if Ryan Day responds to this.

Most sources don't think so. Pretty much everything I've read has it between Stroud and Young. We did host Richardson and we're still hosting Levis.

My mistake on Brian Hartline. Someone had mentioned him to me as a former Panther and I think I got it stuck in my head because I was remembering another receiving corps B Hart from Ohio State, Ben Hartsock. My brain is scrambled this week anyway from painting my office and building a new disk. Lady Cowboy Fan and I have a beach vacation planned for this weekend and apparently my brain is already there

Not a free agent, but a former Panther... Some people see him as a future star in the coaching ranks. Would be cool to see him join our staff in the future.

We'll know it's him when we can't see him over the podium

Being shorter doesn't help anyone avoid sacks, especially not when the rules penalize headhunting. Unless they were planning to swing for your skull, being shorter is not an advantage.

Yeah, that's speculation. Hell, it's not even new speculation and it's been shot down by more than one source already. The decision might ultimately be Bryce Young, but multiple sources have confirmed It wasn't that way from the start.

Baker Mayfield was a pretty big surprise. Everybody was expecting Sam Darnold to go first. There aren't any guarantees.

The vast majority of beat writers, analysts and gambling sites got the #1 pick wrong last year. And it's not the first time.
