Mr. Scot

Understood...fully

New Cards head coach Jonathan Gannon was on the Vikings coaching staff some years back when Theilen was just starting out. He's got some connections to people that used to be part of the Panthers organization (Jared Allen and Norv Turner among others) but a cursory look at his career doesn't turn up any current links.

No argument with any of that

Mike Pouncey on the post NFL diet plan... Jordan Gross had similar results

I'll have the week off for mine too. Being retired will do that

Bread and circuses...

You're not the only one who feels that way. Some of the people who share that sentiment are in a position to actually try and do something about it, but who knows how or when that will happen...

Modern sports talk has given people the freedom to have very strong opinions without the loathsome, unnecessary burden of supporting facts

Same. Tampering period starts Monday. Also, given the timing I'd expect some clarity on Shaq Thompson pretty soon...

Side Note: I don't remember this but damn

Guess they think so...

Uuummm

Sometimes. He's a lot like LaCanfora; can be dead on at times but wildly off the mark at others.

True...

I always saw you as more of a 3-tech than a true 0-tech (happy birthday; mine is this month also)

The Panthers have an excellent resource on that front in Thomas Brown's connection to Liam Coen. I'd be willing to bet that conversation has already taken place, but if not I'm sure it will.

The perception that it's a shot at Richardson is because of his Combine hype. And yeah, Richardson is being hyped up way more than Levis right now. I don't know that it's directed at either of them though. When I read the description, it just sounds like a generic, hypothetical quarterback. (my guess would be that if Saban is asked about these comments, that's probably what he'll say)

To be fair, the coach who helped him have his 2021 season wasn't there last year.

Apparently Nick Saban has now entered the chat. Recently, while talking up Bryce Young, he made a statement about larger quarterbacks with lesser skills that's being perceived as a shot at Anthony Richardson. The article featuring the original quote is here: To be clear, he doesn't mention any names. The physical description does fit Richardson but it could also be kinda generic. In the wake of Richardson's Combine performance though, this is how people are taking it.

You'd likely have hated Greg Olsen, then...

3 out of 11, or 5 out of 13 counting first rounders, plus you have to factor in things like special teams contributions while understanding that most teams lower round picks aren't expected to be all pros (especially not in their first two seasons).

Brady Christensen wax a huge part of our offense last year. So was Chuba Hubbard. Others like Terrace Marshall, Tommy Tremble, Amare Barno and others have been contributors. Once someone other than Ben McAdoo is running the offense and a pro DC is running the defense, we'll have a much better read on things.
