Where are you seeing that?

I mean, it was pretty bang bang and it didn't look that bad. I am guessing that just the force of that whipping motion right has he almost hits the ground that probably causes his brain to smash into his skull. He actually didn't really hit his head on the ground, it sort of hits the ball/his arm. It was just that violent deceleration that seems to get him. Pretty unfortunate. I really love watching him play and I would have liked to have seen an Allen vs. Mahomes playoff showdown.

I don't think they even carry a third QB, do they? So what other option is there? IDK who they plan on making an emergency signing if/when Mahomes can't go, either. I just don't see it as reasonable for Mahomes to be playing unless he really didn't get a bad concussion. You just paid this man half a billion dollars. Don't turn him into a mush head this early on.

We are lucky enough to have enough needs that taking a player that can help us shouldn't be too awful hard. However, if the top people on our board are gone(Tier 1, let's say) I would rather trade down and gain additional picks. We certainly need some cheap bodies to fill out our roster.

Chad Henne.

Not necessarily. 2022 and 2023 are the obvious times that the Falcons could get out of his contract(although the dead cap will be painful). If you bring in a younger guy to sit for a year or so, you can always cut or trade Ryan. IMO, they aren't likely to do that. I just don't see Ryan as the reason they cannot get over the hump.

I would say that scenario seems unlikely unless the non-Lawrence QB's all suffer some tumbling stock. If the Jets and Dolphins don't want QB's at those picks, I would think they could easily shop them for extra draft picks to move down to get the guys they have. TBD, obviously.

He also signed another RB to a huge deal(Hurney 1.0 special), overpaid a LB, restructured KK's deal making some small gains for that offseason and making it harder to jettison him in the future, signed Bridgewater to that bigger than necessary deal, etc. This not to mention reaching on Gaulden, Little, etc. The dude was just not a good GM, even after "learning his lessons."

Even better, we send our worst two GM's to nuke franchises in the NFC East. This couldn't have worked out better.

Reimer > Mrazek. Have said this since last season.

Yeah but they also don't create content worth paying for.

That's actually why I DON'T feel sorry for him. It's HIS lessons that he isn't learning.

It's basically what their fans say about the franchise all the time. It seemed so fitting.

He is definitely the man for the WTF's. I cannot wait to see how bad that Hurney/Rivera combo is up there.

LOL. Looked that up, not only is Ron the first with two playoff appearances with under .500 record......he accounts for two of the three times in NFL history that has happened!

Well he certainly has done a good job of keeping them under .500. I think Ron might be the first coach to take a team to the playoffs with under a .500 record more than once.

Oh the homer fan.....gotta love 'em. Must be nice to have a persistently positive outlook bordering on delusion.

Bookmark that account. It is gonna be hilarious to read it in 4 years.

Dear God....I like Curtis....I wouldn't wish that on him.

There is nothing wrong with having good MLB's but having so much invested in a position that has lesser value in the modern NFL is just not the way to build a winning football team. That is where we always seem to struggle. The last 15 years of Panthers football and the kind of investments we make in the draft and free agency are basically the reason we have never had a back-to-back winning season. We rarely build teams made to last. We build them for the moment and then scramble to recover when changes happen.

Yep. I am okay taking a MLB with a top 15 pick in 3-4 years if our franchise building is going fantastic. If not.....we can probably get a good starting MLB in the 2nd-4th round.

Honestly, even guys like Barkley and CMC aren't likely to be franchise changing players and the positional value is low. Even freaks like Peterson or Henry are only capable of elevating a team so much. I hope we as a franchise can finally move into the modern era of NFL football. This will be the first draft in a long time where I have that hope.
