Mr. Scot

Our old coach apparently has a new set of wheels... Might possibly have come with a note from Dan Snyder saying "Shhhhh!' (seriously, nothing but love for Ron)

Draft Day should absolutely be a national holiday The Monday after Super Bowl should as well.

Heisman doesn't mean sh-t to me, especially since over the last several years it's tended to go to the more athletic quarterback types who are great in college but hit or miss in the NFL. The thing with Young though is he's not the world's greatest athlete. He's smart, processes quickly, has good accuracy and is overall just what you would want in a quarterback. The durability question is the only thing.

He did say the decision would be made early next week but I don't remember him mentioning a presser. They had one this week. Not sure why they'd need one again until the pick is made.

Correct. It's one of the things that feeds the confirmation bias some folks have. Reporters right now only seem to ask about Young. Then Fitterer answers a question and someone acts like he just spontaneously brought him up. Nobody asks about Stroud. Then someone notes "Oh,he didn't mention Stroud" . Well, no he didn't...because he wasn't asked about him. If he did mention him unprompted, people's tongues would start wagging, so he's wise not to. To be clear, I think Young is probably going to be the pick, but I've learned to never assume anything for certain until the actual pick is announced. (hell, Jason Peter taught me that)

He didn't talk about Richardson either...until he was asked about him. It's a smart move if you're being cagey to not bring up anyone's name unless you're asked.

Kinda makes sense because I believe that was the Seahawks prototype as well

They probably shouldn't be.

Yeah, sure I've said already I think it's Young and I'm okay with it, but it's also wise to keep all things in context. For example, if you listen to the podcast you'll hear the above quote was in response to a direct question about Young. It's not like Fitterer just said that offhand. Always check the context. Twitter quotes don't necessarily tell you everything.

Asked about Tepper, Fitterer reiterated that he plays a "support role" but that he's not making the decision. He's leaving the final choice to Reich and Fitterer. And amen to that

For Williams or Kaye? Hell yeah!

Dammit, dude! I was your source on that. You're not supposed to cite me without attribution

That's a real possibility too. The flipside of course is that it speaks to how much they like Young. I honestly don't doubt that if we wanted to, we could get something from them. The question is whether that "something' would be worth it. Not an easy question to answer

When they get their news from the same sources we do. They're not football savants. What they excel at is making money, and frequently It's at the expense of people who don't know better. Odds are the last thing I look at when it comes to football.

I hate that guy

Damn shame. The combo of Williams and Mike Kaye has made for some of the best Panthers coverage I've seen. Thankful we still have Kaye on the beat.

Don't know. I honestly haven't seen the print version of a lot of things in a while.

Well, there's being brave and there's being wise. You don't like the way a lot of the Bryce Young fans are behaving on here. That's fine, but it lessens the impact when you do the same. Take it down a notch. It's better for all involved.

Speaking for yourself is fine, but don't poke the bear. Rayzor has a job to do, and there are already plenty of a--holes who make that job harder. Don't be one of those guys.

Conor Orr is a guy who's capable of writing some really good stuff. He also sometimes writes things that make me go "Wait, what?!" I guess you could call him a Brett Favre style writer.

Yyyyeah...don't do that.

Take heart
