I'm talking game watcher. Jekyll Hyde. Especially 2022 where he sort of emerged.

Rattler is an odd duck. If you took away like 4 games from his college career.....he is a UDFA. And if you just pay attention to like 4 games, you think he could be good.

I think you could build a good run with Field's help and just ask him to make a handful of throws each week. Old school Pittsburgh football. New OC has always been around Os that had fairly athletic QBs where they largely asked of them what you would ask of Fields too.

Wharton might be my most underrated Panther of all time. Captain, might be the best value pick in Panther history. 7th round pick for a top tier nickel CB. We just got desperate and asked too much of him.

Clemson players have never done the Panthers wrong in the draft. Ever. Reason 343 why they are the better college team.

David Tepper is George Constanza. Only he hasn't figured out the whole opposite thing yet.

That was bologna and my soapbox all last offseason. Same folks that sold you all sorts of other lies. Sanders was graded as THE worst rec RB out of every RB in the entire NFL his last year in Philly (PFF may be flawed but isn't THAT wrong). People around here just didn't want to hear it. He graded another year at near the bottom of all RBs in addition to that. In terms of being a pure rusher, the OL set him up in Philly to have the most yards precontact in the NFL that last year. And his production wasn't great once he saw contact. And Philly phased him out down the stretch because he wasn't bringing enough to the table. He is an okay early down rusher. That's Sanders. And we knew that when we signed him. The Panther PR was just something different coming off the wasted CMC trade.

we had no plan last year and bad marriages all over the field. A backfield of 3 earlier down runners (if you add a power RB) isn't the setup Bryce Young needs. Nor is slow Adam Theilen in the slot. Move on from Bryce or actually cater to his skills set. I'm no fan of no mans land. We have a billion fixes. A pass catching RB is a dirt cheap fix. And we avoided the obvious and easy add last year given Bryce was our QB. It's not #1 on my list of things to fix. But it's an easy and cheap fix. So we should at least be checking those type fixes off the list. I mean, early down runners can still catch passes. Like I said, I think they realized it last year w/ the move to bring in Cohen. It just didn't work. Why they waited so late for an easy fix to a hole I don't get. That's got to be part of a Bryce O.

Fields seems to have good locker room support and likability from the Bears. It's not like a Caleb Williams personality Tomlin would be dealing with. *Fields would be a dream compared to some of the folks Tomlin has had to manage.

too big of a rah rah personality to put behind someone that plays call of duty all day.

Why rule out Pitt? I think they could make it work if Tomlin wanted to. Slash 2.0

I got no beef with Hubbard. But he isn’t a receiving RB. We don’t have that rostered. There is still a difference. I just think it matters given you are trying to survive and do something with Bryce Young which I think they sort of acknowledged late with that Cohen move that didn’t pan out. Sanders messes up the backfield. Hated that move from day 1.

It will match some of our other position groups too then. As of right now we got a bottom everything group on O. Basically just pick a position group

I don't see how any team is going to want Wilson as a backup QB. I think it is starter or sit for an injury. Some QBs just don't work as backups.

Wilson is quirky and old. I would imagine him finding a home might be tougher than he thinks.

yep, if anything, you could argue Schefter put her in a tiny bit of an awkward spot. but this is professional football. If anyone's feelings are hurt over preferences at draft time that didn't happen....they don't need to be in that world.

probably because it's his wife....and given he owns the team he doesn't tell her to go wait in the hotel room. and given what we have seen from Tepper, she probably makes him look better in group scenarios and dealing with people. The setting of the pictures is casual meet and greet BSing. It's not extraordinarily odd for him to have his wife there. but that's just applying some common sense guess work.

I think it was a quip Adam Schefter made on some nothing podcast.....because people like kicking Tepper on the subject given the glaring egg on our franchise's face. Think that's the beginning, middle and end. I doubt Schefter knows a random message board has been fixated on Nicole Tepper. Because this is the only place that cares.

I'm sure the news is out because they already did all the calling with teams on Jackson got to be an odd time to try to get a pick for a meh vet given everyone around the league is excited about getting new talent soon via the draft.

one thing nice about the 2343294 former athlete podcasts that are all over the place. They talk about stuff. The would you have rather have a ring or get paid X. Almost all these dudes are taking the cash. I mean, unless you are legitimately chasing all time positioning in books of NFL history.....most are just taking the biggest check.

going to need to expand the building at some point. Getting crowded.

Bryce used his RB a lot in the pass game at Bama. Our new HC did it a lot at Tampa. Not having a natural rec RB was a hole going into last season, and remains one. And I am 100% against FA RBs. Draft is the best place to build a good committee IMO. Especially rounds 4-5. I'm just pounding the same drum I pounded last offseason. Just louder now I guess. Bryce needs quick targets in the pass game.

well, I'm team offense. I think the little we got should be geared toward fixing the biggest issue w/ the Panthers. The cupboard is dry almost across the board on O.

Legette is intriguing. Really came out of nowhere. More on the raw side but you really got to love what he did out of the SEC this year. And everyone on the field knew that is where the ball had to go for Rattler to make a big play and he just kept making them. I'd don't love him at 33 but I'd love him at a different spot. I'll be honest, I hate our draft position for this year. All we got is that 33 in the top 2 rounds. Not sure I'll love anything given how little we have lol. Maybe I will change my mind about trading down the more I think of it. I just hope we take advantage of the WR talent in this draft and walk away with someone at WR in round 2.
