CRA

last time I went to Disney (think it was 2022) it definitely felt much different than just a year prior. It was right when the genie got unrolled. Genie sucks. You feel obligated to get it. But that doesn't do diddly. It doesn't even work on the "good" rides. You got to pay essentially another version of an individualized fast pass for them on top of the genie "fast pass".

probably because a reporter asked him directly about his current situation w/ a new owner coming in to a franchise. Which doesn't happen that often. Because ownership doesn't change hardly. Ron in a pretty unique spot of having 2 new owners coming in.

Frank and Bryce with the stagged photo op dap up. Frank gave it away looking for the que they were filming it. Tin foil hat now on: Dissed CJ - no dap Fake/staged dap up w/ Young We drafting a RB guys #1. When is the last time we didn't have a first rounder on the roster. The cycle is repeating!!!!!!

Daniel said he didn't know what we were doing. He puts Young first in his mock because he thinks he is the best player. I guess that TD was just alluding to the fact he talked before him.

Wilson had crazy talent at their peak. Beastmode paired with a historic defense? 2012 - #3 rush attack 2013 - #4 2014 - #1

I actually would have let Burns go. Largely looking contracts and timelines. And I am largely assuming the Panthers are going to sign him to a massive deal. We just extended DJ Moore. Contract was decent given what he was. DJ Moore was an overall complete WR that got it consistently done in the worst of times. We are drafting a rookie QB we hope to develop. Burns is a one dimensional DE. I think the Panthers are going to pay him like he is a complete and dominant DE. Which he isn't. And he isn't a freakshow out of this world pass rusher. Fine player that I loved to have....but that was rookie contract Burns. I'm no longer thinking of that dude.

I mean, literally insiders have been talking about our interest in Richardson for some time now. There is zero logic saying their is a 0% chance lol. That's the point.

How many teams trade away their 2 clear cut best offensive players in the same year? It's not common. How many teams in QB purgatory for years with nothing on the roster draft DBs in the top 10 with good QB prospects falling in their laps. It's not common. Rhule saying he wanted Cam, cutting Cam, and then bringing Cam back a year later to save their jobs also was not predictable. My point is simply you can't say we 0% chance of drafting AR. Our front office is NOT predictable. And there are legit people saying he has some support here. and NFL teams despite their absurd payrolls are mom and pop shops. And any routinely do idiotic stuff all the time.

If I told you this time last year.....the Panthers front office was trading CMC and DJ Moore. Most would say no chance in hell to that. If I told you when Matt Rhule was hired his solution to the Panthers problem was to sign Sam, Robbie (Jets and Jags being casted off) and add bunch of Baylor/Temple guys the day he was hired? People would say no chance in hell that was a comedy that would never happen. I mean, we drafted a corner in the top 10 with the worst QB roster in the NFL. You can't predict things.

I’ll take an Eli/Rivers type though. That tier QB. I don’t need Rodgers/Peyton. Borderline is fine with me. That was Cam too.

I certainly think we have a very sound coaching staff. developing super raw QB? Not sure that’s anyone’s speciality in Carolina. Richardson just seems like the risky possible play there could be. And we are giving up a lot for the pick. I just want a functional QB. I don’t care if they are a HOFer. I want a higher floor than Richardson has

53% ain’t average

We just watched the 49ers give up a bunch a draft picks for a raw athlete. I don’t want to be Vol II.

you were out if Tepper got Watson though, right?

I think that runs counter to what Rhule always said he was doing here from day 1 until his firing…..and what Tepper himself has said about what and when it’s his time be involved. Watson, the scandal and the package to get him….no way that was Rhule. That’s Tepper. Tepper said that’s when he comes in. I would say CMC, trading up for #1, and what we are presently doing….heavy Tepper involvement. Those are the type scenarios he said he would be heavily in.

Is David Tepper that dumb? Is Fitt an actually proven good GM?

Who says Reich is doing whatever he wants? We don’t know if the buck stops at Reich. Was he the final say in wanting to trade up to #1, give up next years first and his best offensive player? For a pick he would figure out? I still think the Watson pursuit was Tepper. Think there are decent odds the move up was him wanting to make a splash after his most recent trainwreck.

Yeah, he just played for years with guys in both the front office and on staff.

But that’s what TD is essentially saying. That it’s being debated and AR has a camp arguing his way

I think if we legit liked Young or Stroud and we went up knowing we were going to draft one…..then we would have already flipped over the cards and just let it be known. Which basically is what happens when you love a QB at #1. I think there is debate. And the longer we don’t know….the higher the odds the Tepper Panthers do something unpopular imo

If I am the Texans I just sit back and draft a legit top tier prospect and not piss away draft capital. Like we likely did

That’s some 3D chess NFL teams ain’t playing. We knew with pretty good certainty Cam was the dude last time we owned the #1 spot. I think we traded up not knowing exactly who we wanted for certain . All the inside scoop basically has been saying that. And there does appear to be Richardson camp.
