His rookie year he played in 1 game and his 2nd year they ran a lot (it was still a running league back then). He couldn't throw it farther than 25 yards without it ducking early in his career. He could see the field really well and didn't need a 5 step drop. He did a lot of work on his mechanics in his early years. Draft Bio Yeah they were dead wrong about his pocket escape ability First start in 2001.

May be not in year 1 but by year 2 they had better start doing some heavy lifting in the NFL. Plenty of QBs can't but those are also not the guys likely to get a championship so those teams need to keep swinging at QB until they find one. The guys winning rings can carry their teams that year. The days you speak of are long dead and gone or Purdy would have a ring.

He seems to be well liked and will obviously do anything if told so sounds like the perfect yes man. Plus if they ask him what he would do then they have a good idea that doing the exact opposite is the best option.

It's the NFL so comparing it to a regular job is a long stretch. Usually when they make moves they announce them with a tidy statement to get it out of the way and away. I'm sure they have enough lawyers going over their stuff to not implicate anything but the parting like they announce every other move they make.

Yeah that's what us usually in the release.

Most of the people just said it was weird how they did it and it was weird. Just say he was released for non-workplace conduct and it wouldn't have been an issue. Instead they just took him off the website, were caught doing so and waited for the story to finally break while only confirming he was released? Still weird on the Panther's end.

Yes and he was on the boys PS when he was reinstated.

Jim Caldwell is in his second season with the Carolina Panthers serving as senior assistant. Reporting directly to Head Coach Dave Canales, Caldwell will assist the team on offense, defense, and special teams. They MB thing just shows the usual dysfunction. Using the worst team to try and get some PR so he can get back into the league after 5 years on an indefinite suspension. Totally normal since he was tied to KC and their need for WRs...oh wait they don't have that dysfunction.

It shows that he had a meeting on Friday after their Monday event via zoom. So Caldwell is allowing him to be linked to the organization through him. He is a senior assistant that was a voice in hiring the HC and now reports directly to him. With the VP of pro-personnel leaving mysteriously at the same time this crap is happening is pretty funny to me. The Huddle is more of a clown show with you here for sure.

If you click on the link there is a video this article is based on. He had a zoom meeting with Caldwell. I just wanted to save that so I could come back and laugh at all the people that don't think it's still a clown show. Here is that video.

Maybe you should read the article?

'Bryant was reinstated last November from an indefinite suspension that was put in place while he was playing for the Raiders during the 2018 season.' 20 fugging 18. LOL. It's just funny to me that Caldwell was hanging with him at an event.

How they did it was weird but also normal here now unfortunately. Just announce it like any other move. They why is unknown but given the standard dysfunction it's probably just signs of this crew doing more of the usual stuff.

Caldwell reminding people he is still around while proving why he shouldn't be.

Yup. If there are no good enough QBs to take with the top 5 pick next year then grab an A Smith type QB who understands there will be high draft picks incoming and take a flier on a later QB. I honestly think trading the #1 in '25 for a '26 haul makes a lot of sense for the team in that case but I see that as extremely unlikely unfortunately.

I have no idea how they could fake the height like they do with the weight but if you figure that out Im listening, he doesn't look 5'10" to me either. His height is an issue because he doesn't have the wheels to escape and make room to throw like Murray. What he can't see during plays is the issue and it shows on film. The 2 first interceptions prove this and showed how bad the entire thing really was.

NFL people tend to keep doing what worked for them in the past, specially when it gets tough. So many people with skills have decided to die on their hills. Fox and Rivera are great examples of this. This team needs heaps of extra. That's a lot to expect normally so the die might be on again.

No because what was stated was true. Many rookie QBs have had a rough rookie year but also showed something. Bryce did not and it wasn't all the crap show around him, he was a substantial part of that crap show. His best game as the GB game and the other team looked like they had their heads up their butts more than the Panthers were good IMO. Don't like it? I sympathize but no one has to play pretend if they don't want to. That wasn't Bryce bashing it was just truth that hurts. There is a big difference.

It's all about those Dawgs has a broader meaning I guess...

I predict this ain't it either. Whatever wins they get will come early...unless they pull the Young plug and let Dalton try to go out with a bang.

Morgan's first offseason and daft made me think he doesn't understand talent. He looks a lot more like Fritters than he does some talent guru. I think Morgan will be another Fritterer, a likable guy who just isn't good enough no matter how much everyone likes them. It's literally why he got the job as quoted by one of the people that owns the team. Canales is incredibly young and inexperienced and the hiring process was tainted with Caldwell giving the vote to whoever Tepper wanted anyways even with the consultants sitting in that process...not to mention promoting the AGM who is his friend. I'm not giving them anything they don't earn. I was thoroughly unimpressed with the process or outcome as I have been with the offseason approach. IF I am proven wrong then they have found our saviors and if I am right again then it's just more poop for the Tepper sewer.

Hard to expect scheming well here since we haven't seen it in years. Seems unrealistic at this point. This site had him at 19th best interior lineman as of December. But PFF had him at 14 in 2023. Even CBS didn't have him in their top 10. No idea where the top 5 thing came from. I guess it was just guards which him falling from top 5 in OGs to out of top 13 in interior line? He was proven on a talented offense on a rookie contract. Let's see how he does here next year and what he proves then because I am always skeptical about the top free agent contracts and given their history it's justified.

Let's see if they get top OG play out of him because it's not like the NFL has never seen a free agent get paid and then not play up to the pay. Also with the center mess they have created I am even less certain he will be a top 5 OG at the end of the year if not just because of that spillover.

Horn was always the wrong pick for other reasons but he just turned out to be injury prone, it's not fair but that's a miss and a risk in the NFL. Icky was always a project, needed a lot of work in pass protect and I really liked him as a prospect, so that goes along with what I said about projects not working out here for the reasons I laid out and a bit of what you said that in the end for all of those reasons projects have a hard go here with the turnover and competence issues throughout. If they get mediocre from Young in the end they should still be picking another QB next year anyways, other than becoming a franchise QB he will be a big failure and a giant area to improve. The days where the 1st pick was at least the one positive which no longer exist. Even Brown, a very good player, does not produce at the level he was drafted vs Moore who produced nothing but 1000 yard seasons without a good QB play. We just drafted a 2nd round WR by moving up one spot. It starts with the wrong people picking which is the norm now with Tepper in charge. I can't believe you believe that Tepper can fall into a winning situation given how his hiring has gone. Like FKD said it could easily be another 6 or 16 years before he gets his head out of his butt using the Browns as a legitimate example. That's not pessimism but a very real possibility given the recent history here.
