That's the right decision unless/until he backs off his contract demands.

Is this like ooh wee mayne?

Eh, we've been saying this about NO every year for a decade now. I'm not saying it can be completely ignored, but it never seems to entirely bite them in the ass like it should.

FWIW Sauce has actually played in more games, 17 to Jaycee's 16, and that 16 is actually more like 15 based on when he got injured in those 2 games.

NFL types were saying that Rhule was a hot candidate too. I get the sentiment and this sure appears night and day different from that debacle, but what happens on the field is what matters. I'll give Tepper some credit for not being a dumbass in this search but that's as far as it goes at the moment... dude has a deep hole to dig out of before being 're-evaluated'.

Eww.

They did a good job with Kansas City as well. The skyline shots were the actual city, with one or two big liberties taken, and the downtown vibe was pretty darn accurate. The route they suggested out of town is actually somewhat grounded in reality as well, though again with some liberties taken.

Smith had openly talked about retiring after 2013, which probably drove some things the team did before that. I'm not saying Carolina handled it the best, but Smith was already winding down.

I need to see competence on display first but no question that it looks solid on paper so far, a far cry from the very obvious and predictable trainwreck that Rhule brought to town.

We've already had one used Carr in Carolina. Don't need another one.

I'm not offended at all - it's random stuff on the interwebs and even I rolled my eyes at Kelce's comments. It's always amusing to see what blanket statements get tossed out and every so often the chance to comment on them comes up. There are some real dumbasses around here just like everywhere but it's hardly everyone. Now to prep for the hundreds of thousands that will be out and about for the parade on Wednesday...

Soccer doesn't have nearly the same amount of abrupt cutting and starts/stops as football. Some, sure, but more forgiving of poorer surfaces IME.

I live in KC, have for many years. No, many, if not most, of them aren't.

Classifying an entire fanbase off of a ridiculous sterotype like that is pretty dumb. Kelce's comments were nonsense but this stuff is even moreso.

In the end, that fumbled ball ended up Hurting the most.

Fireworks going off around here even more than the 4th of July.

FWIW, while football is not an individual sport Sam's career win percentage is .381 in 51 starts and Brissett's is .375 in 48 starts while on at least 1 or 2 arguably better teams. They are, at worst, equivalent ways to get to the same spot, as you touched on in your first sentence. I'll take Sam and some, any, actual potential for downfield explosive football. Bridgewater's win pct would be right there with them if not padded by AP carrying the Vikings in 2015 and Sean Payton in 2019.

My point is that Brissett is even worse than Teddy, and absolutely should not be any kind of starter. Has Sam (or other guys like him) sucked pretty hard at times? Sure, but even those flashes are more than milqueotast on-field players like Brissett and Bridgewater. Maybe just perosnal preference, but no thanks.

Brissett is discount Teddy Bridgewater, zero upside and even less dynamics. Great guy, but if I'm going with a middling QB at least give me someone like Darnold that has a chance of making magic happen, a la 2021 game-tying drive vs Minnesota.

Yeah, but they want to put it where people actually want to be.

All the best to Geno, but the prospect of giving him $40M per year is a very risky one.

Brett Basanez actually got signed to another team.

If only Carolina had somebody like Bradberry on the roster in years past. ...
