If you do sign here Aaron, make sure you live south of the border, though.

Zappe in the 4th round. /thread

We have zero business taking QB at #6 unless you want Rhule fired sometime after game 4.

The last time three OTs went in the top 10 was 2013 and those were: Eric Fischer #1, Luke Joeckel #2 and Lane Johnson #4. Two of the three panned out extremely well. Joeckel was viewed as a bust, but had two really bad season-ending injuries in his first four years and the may have played a part in it.

My favorite draft site now has the big 3 OTs at #2, #4 and #8...Neal, Ekwonu and Cross respectively. This OT class is deep AND top heavy. WE ARE IDIOTS if we pass up an OT at #6! Crap, I wouldn't mind using that second 5th or the 6th rounder on another tackle as a developmental/backup type.

Nah, Rhule is going to 'Hurney' this thing up right as Tepper shows him the door next season. We'll have stupid contracts, hardly any cap space and no better off than this year.

This organization as viewed by the rest of the League I bet Rhule is baffled as to why he can't get more candidates to interview.

I take Sam. I'm willing, as a die hard Panthers fan, to sacrifice the entire 2022 season just to get Rhule's a$$ outta here. Short term pain for long term gain.

I guess I can endure one more year of Panthers sucking to get rid of Rhule. I will probably 'foster' another NFL club for the 2022 season just so I can still get into the season. The Bills with all the Panthers connections will be the most likely team.

Yes, but isn't there like 8 vacancies right now? Even if Payton takes a year off, there isn't any certainty a vacancy will be open next season he would want. Historically, the Bears, Vikings, Broncos and Giants are not bad franchises despite their recent struggles. The Raiders have a roster that can win now and the thought of Vegas could be appealing to him. Same with the Dolphins, the cabinet is fairly well stocked there and living at South Beach isn't too shabby. Unless he's rolling the dice that McCarthy is booted next year in Dallas, I can't think of a club that enters next year with coaches on the hot seat . I doubt he's waiting for Rhule to get canned here.

I was listening to a sports talk show a few days ago and they were speculating that with Brees gone, no cap room and a good deal of key players up for free agency, the Saints were at the threshold of a rebuild. That being said, they speculated...and this is rare, some team could poach Payton for right amount of draft capital. The Saints hit the reset button, create some cap room and stockpile future draft picks in a deal for Payton. They can't keep kicking their cap hell down the road and without a franchise QB to keep the SB window open, all they are doing is throwing good money after bad just to stay an average club.

Nah, we're the Jet-Brown Bungles. This is our logo:

Eh, once he's here under Rhule, he'll become a McAdon't.

Funny, people act like he doesn't have a ring or Super Bowl MVP on his resume' just because they don't like him personally. Weird how bias overshadows facts. For a few people that have popped in here from the abyss, it's politics as usual tempered by innuendo because they are in the main forum.

I bet many in the Buc's fan base felt that way personally about Tom Brady before he signed with Tampa. Heck, for a SB or two, I could even have tolerated Brady being here. I'm sure it's revisionist history now down there. But for years outside of the northeast, Brady was not a very popular person.

Yup, he wins games way too often.

Right now we are the Browns and Jets of old, no player wants to come here and would even only consider it for 'get rich' deals. To that extent, we aren't even cap rich. In short, we are screwed folks.

I'll take a winning a-hole over a polite loser...especially in the short term.

Eh, he took his ques from his predecessor apparently. People forget how much of a utter diva Favre was in his last season or two with the Packers.

Aaron said he has zero interest in be part of a rebuild. We are still 5 more seasons away according to Tepper's "Rome wasn't built in a day" comments and sealed it with a used car salesmen who convinced him it would take up to 7 years to achieve the undertaking.

Rhule gloating after the 7-10 season, 'see, you have to trust the process...next year we are shooting for 8 wins'.

Tommy is going to be better suited as a H-back/blocking TE. I'm not sure he will develop elite hands or not. He looked better catching the ball as the season went on, but nobody is going to confuse him for Travis Kelce or our own former Panther Greg Olsen.

No, no, no! Icky is a sleeper man. Everyone stop talking about him!!! I wouldn't be disappointed with Cross. I think long term he's going to better than Neal, he's just greener at this point.

He'll be there at 20, but I think they take Howell over Strong. Willis may still be on the board, but he's a huge project and will need to sit. Not sure the Steelers want to red shirt a QB a year or two.

As been mention, but I can't overstate this enough, Pep basically chose to stay with a train wreck Houston Texans organization over the Panthers. How freaking humiliating!
