heck, if true? Robbie is already going into this season on the last year of his contract. He was a 1000+ WR last year. He overproduced given expectations last year. The best numbers of his career and the only year without Sam Darnold. There could be beef over that with the new GM and Robbie's camp. I mean, it would make sense from a business perspective if you are Robbie to not like that position. So basically his next contract (here or elsewhere).....will largely be influenced by how he looks with Sam Darnold this season. Sam essentially sets up Robbie's next deal/future. Robbie could be wanting an extension before the season starts and not liking that position. that would probably be my second guess after just selling high.

Yes. That is the story. Which doesn’t make tons of sense on face value right now. I questioned it being true. But if true… you ask why. So I threw out some guesses about what a why could be if true. and if true, we wouldn’t know the dynamics behind it if all we have is statement alone that he was looking to deal Robbie. So you can’t make a blanket statement of fact that Robbie had no part in it. He could. We wouldn’t know at that point anything….outside of the fact their is an undisclosed reason the GM seeks to part with Robbie.

I’m just saying the story makes no sense. But if were true….I think you have to ask questions about the why? That’s all. Because there would have to a why. My best guess was the first one. Just selling high because Joe Brady’s scheme inflates WRs. Saw it with Samuel. So you get something for Robbie because you know you aren’t going to spend money on what his stats might suggest down the road. if that isn’t it? Well, I’d still wonder about the reality of Sam coming here. Given he was the QB of the bad scenario Robbie got out away from . Maybe Robbie is just PC publicly. Lots of guys are like that.

Joe Brady’s scheme is going to make WRs look good. Which Robbie and Samuel are likely examples of that in some fashion. So it could just be an opportunity to sell high. Makes me curious about Robbie’s actual take on his old Jet QB following him though. If this is true. I mean he was glad to get away from it. Wonder if there is something to that dynamic.

Talent driven league. McD got fired and looked bad in Philly....not because he couldn't coach but because the Eagles lost their defensive talent. Carolina had the #7 ranked D after McD left and his D was ranked 27th his first year Buffalo. Then after that, Carolina lost DL talent at Buffalo added it.

I mean, say what you want about Ron....he is a proven great defensive guy. Team to team, scheme to scheme. Ron can work up a defense if he has the bodies. But it's also the NFL. And if you ain't got the bodies to have a great defense....you ain't got the bodies. You got to have a DL in the NFL. Rivera's defenses got weak when the talent got weak on the DL (especially the middle of it). Some places you just can't get weak at and then think you can overcome deficiencies elsewhere. Ron wasn't a great HC. But he is a great DC IMO.

If the Jags are out the Cowboys and Cardinals are probably the most entertaining to the nation.

It’s not that serious. But yeah, overall in the sports world that is viewed as a Red Sox thing. It just is what it is.

I’m referring to the Sox. they made it a thing. It is what it is. And we look like a fanbase trying to copy them IMO. And it isn’t even a cool song. Doesn’t really matter what they technical dates claim. It’s like USC. No matter what history technically says….Southern Cal owns it. It just is what it is.

Yeah, if Horn is a full time stater he is going to take some legit lumps. Which is fine. Not sure everyone will be prepared for that though. Present day, I think he is kinda a niche corner. His overall game is going to take some time to develop. Corner is just really hard. And unlike some positions….no one misses your mistakes/lumps. Easy to miss Derrick Brown learning. Hard to miss a DB.

hell, it would make more sense to sing some James Taylor IMO after a win….than trying to steal something that everyone knows is Red Sox “thing”.

Jags probably are the most interesting with the easy storylines to push 1. Urban 2. Trevor 3. The Golden Calf of Bristol

it's largely positional for me and not so much about the specific players. And about roles/load. Easier for a spot situation WR to come in and look good vs a starting rookie DB. I think Horn would look much better as a rookie in spot situations where we could just play him to his strengths. The assumption I am going with is he will be a full time starter.

Vet edition: High - Brown Unsure - Darnold Low - Slye Rookie edition (just in terms of the 2021 season and play/impact during their rookie year) High - Marshall Unsure - Horn Low - Christensen

I’ve always thought it was kinda whack to try to adopt that as a Panther thing….given everyone knows another sports franchise made it their thing before us.

and Grier doesn't have wheels. Which I think really helps young QBs who are struggling w/ game speed.

The OG Clipboard Jesus earned 17 million dollars to just chill out with Rivers. It's a probably the greatest gig in the NFL.

So basically, Touchdown Jesus is going to be Clipboard Jesus. I mean, Charlie Whitehurst had a 10 year NFL career. That's a great gig in reality.

but it does kind of unintentionally say something about Grier.

Matt Leinart?

part of Ron's coaching tree. Andy Reid. Tony Dungy. *edited out wrong coach lol.

I think we could of had more success as a team with a better built team around Cam. Would that of extended his career? I don't know. Cam is still Cam. Ron didn't make him that way. He didn't ask him to be that. He just let him be what he was. and the biggest health issue IMO to his career.....is from his shoulder. An injury that he received not as a byproduct of letting Cam be Cam with the ball in his hands.

no disagreeing on the poor job done building around Cam while we had him. But Ron wasn't the HC/GM. He was just the HC. That doesn't all fall on him like it gets put so often.

Jerome Bettis would be wrong too. I mean, IMO, it was a given Cam Newton would have a shortened career given what he was. It was discussed at length when we drafted him. What do you do with him? Let him be Cam or nerf him some to maybe extend his career. I was only in favor of drafting Cam if we allowed him to be special and be Cam. We did that....and it was a lot of fun. Probably the most fun window to ever be a Panther fan.

Different issue. any decent coach is going to let Cam Newton be Cam Newton. How well your team is built doesn't change what Cam is or isn't. Cam's best OL was his 2011 OL. That unit also featured two highly paid first round draft picks at RB... it did go pretty well for Cam. He rewrote the NFL record book on the ground from the QB spot. Because Cam was the clear cut best option in too many scenarios in 2011. He was special. And he was special and the best option almost no matter what your roster looked like. Cam Newton is to this day and IMO all time....the greatest short yardage threat in NFL history. A unicorn we likely never see again.
