  1. Yeah, big fan. They did have the guy back this time who I don't love because he overtalks so much and tends to dominate the conversation.
  2. As for Matt Rhule, I don't think he does much DIRECT development of players because I don't think that is something that is in his area of expertise. As for his various staff's, he does have that track record in college of identifying physical traits and then developing players that might have been overlooked. I don't think we are seeing a lot of evidence of that in the NFL so far but it might be a year or two for that to net results, in complete fairness. He has to have enough on the field success to even last to the point in which we can find out if he can "coach up" guys to being good NFL players. IMO the critical flaw in this thinking is that most of the guys you draft, unless they came from schools with poor coaching have already had at least 3 years of college development. So that was one or more staff that was developing these guys and they didn't get there. In the late rounds(4th-7th) there isn't a lot of harm to gambling on elite athletes but there is typically a pretty good reason they are later round picks.
  3. Actually the most interesting tidbit from that podcast was that the Panthers offered Sam Darnold and some combination of picks and/or players to 11 NFL teams and there were no takers. Wow.
  4. We aren't falling for that goon poo. Luckily we have experience this year fuging them up
  5. I accidentally closed my browser right before we scored. Maybe I should try that again....
  6. Always good to see local sports people make Canes appearances. Rhule can stay away, tho. Don't put that evil on us.
  7. It helped that we got hot right before the playoffs. Killed that slump at the right time.
  8. I hope we can wear them down. It doesn't seem like it's happening yet.
  9. My butthole puckers every time they get a shot on Rannta
  10. They block a shitload of shots too. Definitely better defensively at that than we are.
  11. I had Corral as my #2 QB, so I don't disagree about Corral being one of the best prospects of this class. I hope McAdoo can out together something cohesive on offense. The last two seasons have been pretty rough on that side of the ball.
  12. Yeah, definitely conspiracy-ish. I just hate Rhule so much. Probably nothing more than someone with some level of expertise being listened to versus a charlatan.
  13. I don't trust this entirely. I can see a scenario where McAdoo gets blamed if Corral flames out. This makes me wonder if this is Rhule once again trying to dodge future accountability.
  14. If they coddle Darnold in the preseason again, it just shows what Matt Rhule is once again. Darnold wilts when the lights are the brightest, so Corral may not stand out as much until the games are being played. Then again, it should have been obvious to the coaching staff during practices and scrimmages that Darnold cannot read defenses at all. That didn't happen, however. It will be interesting to see how it all shakes out.
  15. Well the ultimate hope is that he smokes Darnold in TC(low bar to hit, I realize) and wins the job decisively. Even if he doesn't play particularly well during the regular season, being definitively better than the worst QB in the league is already a start. Now the real question is if Rhule will play him until he is forced to even if he does win the job. I have my doubts because Rhule has already shown he would rather stick with an awful veteran player than a rookie.
