I don't necessarily argue any of that. I brought him up, as well as Peterson and Alexander as non-qbs that won MVP most recently. The only 1 I am certain without looking up is Alexander, but I am pretty sure LT won, and mostly sure Peterson did as well. Peterson's downfall and last few years give me a bit of pause, but I think he won the award.
-
I think folks that think he would be an immense asset, particularly for Young, is how skilled he has been at making receptions at or near the LOS, and then turning those into gains. It does stand to reason that a qb that throws frequently in that area would benefit from a CMC-type of receiver.
-
Well he's not going to win MVP. Maybe he wins 1 of the other awards, or maybe both, or none. I do think it says something that he is up for a reward that is almost exclusively reserved for qbs. The last non-qb was Tomlinson, maybe Peterson, or Alexander maybe?
-
That's the Panther way. Maybe he will be better next year!
-
5 year deal? Well good for him. Expect 2 and half years or so of work, paid for 5. Not half bad.
-
XL does nothing to improve 1 of Buffalo's real weaknesses. He does not improve their wr group 1 bit.
-
I think there was a little bit of talk that his best years were over. The trade in and of itself doesn't matter. Whether it was justified, smart, dumb, is all just kind of talk now. He very much still has legs. We traded him for a 2nd, 3rd, 4th and. 5th, and there were plenty of voices that said we were fortunate to get that.
-
What's done is done. I do not think we received fair market value compensation for him. Somewhat interesting, there is an NFL commercial that featured a morph of running backs through the ages that ended with CMC in a Panthers uniform. I noticed this season the commercial changed, and no longer features him at all, but rather ends with Curtis Martin in a Jets uniform.
-
Surely, we got an unbelievable haul of picks for him, and then smartly turned those picks into superstars.

18 game season plus all teams doing 1 intl

Maybe one day, the Panthers will have a shot to lose 18 games in a season. Tepper will probably still be rolling Young out to start. -

The CBA allows for 20 games, which is why it was 4+16 games, and now 3+17, and soon it will be 2+18. That is not breaking news. It will not be happening next season though. It will be the next big negotiating point though, and most people expect players to ask for some big concessions for going along with an additional game. No longer drug testing for marijuana is my guess. -
It's still the blue-on-blue with the flaming thumbtack logo?

Oh I get it, and I think it is supremely weird when the Titans do Oilers throwbacks. I was more wondering about the Pelicans since there are none in Tennessee, and didn't see the New Orleans-Charlotte connection. Maybe they should just rebrand to UT colors and embrace what they were afraid of instead.
-
I don't really understand the connection, but it is funny. That's been a weird situation. They wanted a T, for Tennessee, but they didn't want it to be confused with UT, and the Colts were included in the AFC South, despite being a very northern city, and having its previous roots in the AFC East,because they thought fans in Tennessee would be more inclined to buy tickets to watch Peyton Manning play.
-
I heard it was him showing up in NE for his ring of honor ceremony and talking about how great the organization was and the Titans ownership felt a certain way about that. They also fired/mutually parted ways with Mike Mularky after he got them to the playoffs. So making the playoffs as the Titans coach is the kiss of death. They've ran off the last 2 to achieve that lofty goal.
