IMO, trading down should be reserved for not having strong feelings for the guys available at your pick.

Yep. That was a Fitterer/Rhule thing. "We can get like 11 guys!!" Fast forward to almost none of them being on the roster.

Actually I am going to approach a sports book to give me odds on a bet that the Panthers don't have a winning record before the 2030 season. If they give me very good odds, I'll probably put a couple of grand on it.

I mean, it will likely be a failure in 2024 but you have to do something. We had the least talented roster in the NFL. Which, TBH, it is still probably the least talented but at least we tried to do something, for better or for worse. I would say our 2024 ceiling is probably 4-5 wins but you have to hope at the end of that there are at least glimpses of some sort of plan on the field. That's something we are several years removed from seeing.

Yeah, if you haven't played some football at leasy through HS, that transition is going to be tough. People remember Gates and Jimmy Graham but those are still outliers.

I saw a kid like this in AAU a few years ago. Like 6-5ish, 320, insanely good feet and hands. Had never played football, only basketball. Never had good influences around him that helped drive him towards success. So he didn’t get convinced to play football until basically senior year of HS. Obviously, just not enough time to transition. He would have been a BRUTE at DT.

Technically he treated the Pats that way.

Would have still had the #1 pick he led us to. Oh well.....the Bears will probably use it more wisely than we would

Yeah, really hope he gets a banger of a game to get him back on track. I want a tough goalie selection for the playoffs.

Necas keeps the momentum going.

Yeah, that's either gonna end well or be a disaster they are fixing for the next 4-5 years. Can't wait to see Rodgers on the Vikings though!

My former college RB buddy use to say that all the time about himself and in terms of what he said was competitive speed. "If I'm even, I'm leavin'.

Better but very marginally. Maybe 1-3 games.

Yep. Only time in my life I was rooting for the Falcunts.

Speaking of something that should be nuked.....

I wasn't super pumped in the signing but that does make it seem like a big get in that context. Thanks for that perspective.

Bad loss. Move on the the next game.

Yes. They have slowly built a monopoly that USED to be illegal to own but our wonderful legislative branch opted to take the money and run many years back. It's incredibly fuged and they literally have unsavory intent in building the empire they have.

Yeah, that is some Fitterer garbage with that trade. Terrible.

I hope Sinclair dramatically collapses. The local news monopoly is super fuged up and I don’t think the average viewer is aware of it.

So you can hear him hype some 6-6 QB with a noodle arm?

It will be their stores(they will get Google for this too with Play) and the software they natively install. That's what they got Microsoft for a while back.

The RSN situation was dramatically flubbed by Bally.

Do you mean over the air radio or paid radio/streaming services? Also, I am not sure I would call that a 1 to 1 comparison with subscription cable/TV.

It's a more free way to communicate and it gives everyone a chance to be a voice. So, in truth it is very much closer to anarchy than anything else, hence what you see. It's a double edged sword. You are less likely to be brainwashed by the common narrative a few large companies are pushing, but you are much more likely to be impacted by some unmedicated nutcase that now has a platform and is sucking people into their black hole of mental instability. I say it is indeed a net negative but the paradigm shifted because of the greed of the companies controlling media. They didn't listen to the consumers so now they will fade into a position of far less relevance than before.
