Mr. Scot

Let's clarify one thing while we're having this discussion... "In on every deal" doesn't mean we're going to make an offer on every single player that comes available. It just means we're going to check in on all of them. If we think they have value, we'll evaluate it. If we evaluate and think "not worth it" we'll do nothing. If we see something we like though, we'll make an offer. And don't get too hung up on "aggressive" either. Just because we say we're "aggressive" doesn't mean we'll overspend.

Matt Rhule has made clear that the Panthers are going to be looking at players' character when it comes to every position. I'd imagine even more so at quarterback given the leadership that position entails.

It's the Pro Bowl. What the hell would it have hurt?

It's kind of weird hearing that Watson doesn't want to go to a team that mortgages its future in order to get him while also listening to fans cry out for their team to mortgage its future in order to get him

I remember watching a game of his a couple years back and thinking "this guy is gonna be the best quarterback in the league". Hasn't turned out that way since.

Courtesy of our buddy Ellis...

Barnidge was just on The Amazing Race with DeAngelo Williams.

Rashawn Slater being drafted by the Bengals over Penei Sewell, though?

Your best?!

His counterpart Mark Carrier was just recently let go.

Not a fan...

Have to admit I kind of wonder why Culley took it so seriously. It's the friggin' Pro Bowl.

As to random Panthers remembered, how about temporary Panther Barry Foster? (later followed by Richard Huntley)

I think he's still on the Seahawks coaching staff.

Wasn't Grits...

More business than personal.

They have to be willing to trade him first. By the time that happens, we might already have somebody else.

I don't have much doubt they're going to get a new quarterback. I seriously doubt it's going to be Watson.

I don't.

So spoke an assistant coach to Steve Smith at the Pro Bowl when Smitty requested to practice with the receivers. Who was that coach? Well, he's got a new job now...

John Fox never did wind up with the Giants.

Brunell is actually the Lions QB coach now.

A hired gun who takes contracts... Would you mind if I sent you the names, addresses and pictures of a few people I'm having disagreements with?

Remind me: Did the Huddle crash when the cheerleader thing happened or was that just Panthers.com?

Hey now Yeah, I know
