Bama Panther

Fair point but that’s asking a lot for the Panthers to hit on six picks in each of the next two drafts.

That is with only 30 players under contract though. That money will go fast when you consider the 23 other players (21 to count as top 51) needed to fill out the roster.

Absolutely. Common Scheme/Plan + Sex Assault Propensity = Defense Counsel’s Worst Nightmare.

I’m not saying Watson is guilty of any crimes, but IMO, this “consensual activities” piece is not good for him. I was a Defense Attorney for four years, and many of my cases involved defending Airmen against sexual assault allegations. When the Defense relies on, “Well, yeah. The actions the victim alleges are true, but they were consensual,” you’ve automatically created a credibility competition. When the accused’s credibility relies on 15-20 allegations of similar sexual misconduct, the accused’s credibility on the consensual nature of offenses goes in the tank. The Rules of Evidence prohibit character evidence against an accused in pretty much every instance. For instance, you can’t present evidence that a guy often beats women so he must have beat this one, or that he has often broken into stores so he must have broken into this one. However, there is one instance in which the Rules of Evidence allows you to present this type of evidence: sexual offenses. This is the one distinct area in which the law allows you to present evidence that this guy commit sexual misconduct against this other person so he must be the type of guy who does this thing. Not good for the Defense. Not good at all.

This is the statement that crushes any credibility on this though. Jones has shown tremendous ball placement, a great deep ball, tremendous anticipation, the ability to read a defense and quickly determine where to go with the ball, and even the ability to keep plays alive with his feet by sliding in the pocket when needed. These are things that one could argue some of the other top guys haven’t shown, at least consistently. The only thing Jones hasn’t shown is the ability to be a threat running the ball. QBs who are not a threat to run the ball can end up being greatly successful in the NFL. Not saying Jones will, but he could.

I’m not a scout and don’t profess to be. However, two of the three negative plays you cite do not seem to be as big of concerns as you make them out to be. The play at 06:20 does seem to be a miscommunication in which Jones threw an out-breaking route where the receiver broke in and/or was held from breaking out. At 06:40, Jones’ arm was very clearly hit, negating the ability to follow through and likely leading to the floater. There are also several plays which he keeps alive with his feet or scrambles for a few yard pick-up. Maybe a tough game to scout, but how does doing pretty much everything he is asked to do well negative for him?

He’ll be one in a few weeks.

Would you then just start threads so you could continually tell everyone how much you hate him?

Do you knock Trevor Lawrence for his supporting cast and level of competition?

Smartest decision the Texans have made in years.

Been a long time since my first year torts class.

If it’s true, it’s not defamation at all. To qualify as defamation, the statement must be false.

Man, y’all are so butt hurt that the Bucs are winning this thing so far. Breeland absolutely clipped Evans’ leg with his own hand on that PI. You also can’t say it was uncatchable with Evan’s’ ability to lay out. It was the right call.

OMG!!! How could the refs not call holding on #48 on the Mahomes scramble?!? This game is rigged. [\sarcasm]

The 2022 numbers only account for 21 players being under contract. Sure, it looks like a lot of cap to play with, but they’ve got to spread that over 30-ish players.

I know the world is crazy right now, and people can just say things, whether grounded in truth or not. However, where is your evidence for this? Rhule has had one free agency period during a pandemic. The biggest acquisition (Anderson) has said he loves it in the Panthers organization. Your comment is just buffoonery.

Teddy’s not a trailer. He’s one of those removable side rails on the trailer. If you get it secured correctly, it’ll hold everything in. If you happen to mess up securing it, well, there goes your couch, book shelf, and lawn mower lying on the side of the highway.

Wasn’t JT Daniels still recovering from a knee injury? I seem to recall that he had to have a clean up procedure sometime in the summer/fall timeframe. I think that’s the only reason it took him so long to get the start.

This is a great point. Over the last 20 years, many have debated whether the Patriots success was Brady or Belichick. It’s looking like it may have been more Brady, but one thing teams and QBs have seemingly failed to learn is that massive contracts for QBs mean you have less money to spend in other areas. Brady often took a lesser contract to allow the Patriots to have more money to spend. That’s the way you build a dynasty, not by tying up 17-20% of your cap in one player.

Alex Leatherwood is not going to be a mid-to-late round pick. Many mocks have him being drafted in the first.

And, apparently, crap fans.

I want them both to lose.

This insanity that “anyone who doesn’t cower in fear of COVID is a denier” crap needs to stop. There is a way to think the virus is a real thing while at the same time thinking adequate precautions can be taken to reopen schools and the economy. We’ve got to stop with the binary crap, thereby forcing people into two boxes so we can demonize those not in our box. I guess the fact that I even have this opinion makes me a denier though, huh?

So he’s pissed because he wanted the Texans to interview Bienemy and they didn’t, but now that they did, he’s still pissed and wants out? I’m not saying that this is the case, but these facts suggest this has all been a ploy to force his way out of Houston.

I’m not saying it was a concussion. I’m just saying that I don’t buy it being a “choke out” scenario.
