They seem to have ditched the green QB jerseys in practice after talking it up last year, so I expect this to meet a similar fate. Interestingly, that article also links to another last year where Thule talked about how his practice plans were basically the same as what he ran at Baylor. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/08/17/green-means-go-for-panthers-quarterbacks/

I see you're feeling generous today.

We had an arena team here in KC that was called the Brigade. Seems on par with the quality of WFT football has put out for a while now.

Reminds me of the Sean Payton sign the Saints hung up the year he was suspended.

Cam had (has) amazing touch. Unfortunately, it was inconsistent and only showed at certain times.

Even though that's the guy he himself signed... Bit of a double-edged sword there. I think there were better options out there like Reiff that really didn't cost much more than Erving. Regardless though we're here now and let's see how things shake out. Hopefully these risk/reward OL signings pan out.

I'm not supporting that claim specifically but it was widely reported that Carolina asked Miami to back it down. https://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/nfl/carolina-panthers/article31836102.html

Ah, gotcha. I read that as you proposing him moving to MLB.

I can't agree with you there. Chinn is a fantastic athlete but the position (which he's never played at the college or NFL levels) requires certain instincts and know-how, particularly at the NFL level. There's a reason guys like Beason and Kuechly weren't nearly as good on the outside and it goes the other way as well.

So he's basically the LT then.

Watch it be conditional and Carolina end up with nothing, though even if that happens at least they had a shot in getting something in return.

The problem is that your point is provably wrong, and dangerous to frame as truthful. There are no arguments for these vaccine mRNAs staying in the body since it doesn't happen. mRNA does not just hang out, full stop. It exists for the purposes of translation in the cytoplasm of the cell, and upon use in translation it is broken down. Full stop. Your own body has your own mRNA constantly in your cells doing work, with the only difference being that your mRNA was transcribed from your nucleic DNA. mRNA is a product of transcription and can not possibly interact with DNA since they are two entirely different things. The proteins do remain for a period of time just like any other protein but that's the whole point, to stimulate immune response at no risk of having the actual virus present. Also, there is no such thing as 'unnatural antibodies' - the immune system reacts to foreign compounds/materials/xenobiotics/etc that enter your body constantly, and this absolutely includes nucleic acids from outside sources through the food you eat, air you breath, water you drink, material that comes into contact with your eyes/open wounds, etc. The issue with what you seem to be proposing is also that acute infection is generally required to gain a strong immunity level, and that's the whole problem since long term outcomes are so variable. It is true that there are gene therapies our there that use things like retroviral vectors to edit genetic code, but that is an entirely different and unrelated technology to these vaccines. This is not something like Herpes simplex though, which is a DNA-carrying virus that does insert itself into code of nerve cells.

Looked to me like he was turning away from the guy, though it did start while he was facing him. If the NFL wants to call it this way then whatever, but this one was fringe.

In case you're serious about the DNA reprogramming comment, that's not at all how these mRNA vaccines work. The vaccine contains a bit of viral mRNA (not complete, just a protein-encoding portion) that causes your body to build the spike protein itself based off of that blueprint and that blueprint is quickly broken down and disposed of after use, just like your regular cellular mRNA. From there, the antibodies react and you are then equipped to deal with foreign infection with the full virus capsule that includes the specific protein that your body recognizes.

Alternatively, it may be a decent year or better.

2014 was not that long ago. Bell, Silatolu, and Chandler all on the same line by design... tough to beat that.

Very few games are 'must-win', and none of them are season openers. 2013 was exactly the same - if the team loses vs Seattle the season is over (some were calling that the 'most important regular season game in the history of the franchise's), then a loss vs Buffalo was the end, then a loss vs. AZ... we all know how 2013 turned out. Winning is preferred but a season opener means little. Much more important how the team looks across the first half, and subsequently the first season.

Eh, I've always felt like Hester is a bit overrated. Still a weapon and an excellent player, no question, but the TD stat that gets trotted out frequently on his behalf saw more than half of them scored his first two years, which to me points as much to the unit itself as to Hester. A guy like Dante Hall arguably made bigger things happen of his own accord. I'm not saying Hall or any other returned deserves to get in over Hester, and more than anything I'm just playing devil's advocate to Hester's case. I bet he gets in at some point and if he does, the voters will have spoken and no real complaints. With respect to Smitty he absolutely deserves to be in the Hall. As others have pointed out though there are a number of folks that also deserve strong consideration and Steve may have to wait a while while the numbers work themselves out.

And cheap-shotted that Falcons gunner on the sideline.

I was just thinking today that this seems like the quietest/most unremarkable training camp period across the league that I can recall. If all teams are doing this same throttling of content, a lack of exposure/content may be a reason why.

Gabbert re-signed with Tampa.

That's my point though - how many actual hot topics are there that haven't already been beaten to death, particularly with TC content being throttled by the team?

Not many can go to camp to see things firsthand and the team (NFL as a whole, teally) is attempting to be the only real source of TC information. What else should be here?
