This one is even better. He wants to embarrass these dude's entire family how hard he punks some of them! Icky is usually good for a post-whistle shove or two just to drive the point home he made you his b!tch on the last play, lol!

Watch how many times Icky's man ends up on the ground! The Clemson play where he rides the dude form the left side of the formation ALL the way over to the right hash before planting him in the dirt is a thing of beauty!

I just watched the 'Bama vs. Ole Miss game...Bama offense. I focused in on Neal, obviously. One thing that stood out is dude has no 'nasty'. He fires off the ball in the run game, but really doesn't look to punish someone. He simply engages his block and waits for the whistle. If he fires off the ball and there's nobody to block, he's kinda adrift for the play. He does have great lateral movement for a dude his size in pass pro. That said, he's not twitchy and may have problems with stunts and edge rushers with an arsenal of pass rush moves. Ole Miss almost exclusively sent the pass rush outside and Neal just rode them around Young. This is why I'm in camp Ekwonu. Dude has the experience Cross is lacking and is more 'sudden' than Neal that also has a nasty demeanor.

Week 5. After a 2-0 start we go 0-3 with each loss a bigger blowout.

If I remember correctly, he was a QB at West Charlotte back in the day. So yeah, he's definitely a local guy. Edit: After looking up his Wiki we were in high school at the same time. I thought his name rang a bell outside of hearing hit around the League. West Charlotte was really good back in those days.

That is what I have been waiting on...another good season in which I would sale. Most of the people I knew who sold their PSLs did so after solid seasons. I don't even bother to post them anymore as I'm sure most PSL holders are in the same boat. Why continue to list them at extremely reasonable rates and folks won't even sniff them? It's an exercise in futility.

You have the benefit from the season playing out. The draft is like the stock market; mostly projection. And yes, I still would love to have Trey Lance who I wanted us to draft BADLY, but two things happened: a) the Panthers wanted to go the FA route and b) the 49ers jumped ahead of us anyway so it was a moot point. Rookie QBs take a few years to develop. Last year's QB class might actually still pan out. Few rookie QBs play lights out their first year. That's the reason I doubt we draft one this year; Rhule doesn't have the luxury for a greenhorn QB to learn on the job. Another losing season and he's outta here...7-year contract be damned.

Embrace the suck, y'all.

I've mentioned this earlier, we are in a REAAAALLLY bad spot to move back. We are sandwiched between the Giants and Jets, both of whom have two first round picks. If I were a team looking to move up, I'm on the phone with them and not Carolina.

Crazy right, TWO OTs mocked before the first QB goes off the board? I guess I have no clue what I'm talking about, even early on.

Yes. If you keep up with the draft process at all, you would know that last year's QB crop had draftnics drooling all over themselves. Heck, I even wanted one last year. This year not so much. Just by the law of averages, one of these guys will likely pan out, but determining who based of their college careers is a crap shoot. There is no Tervor Lawrence-type of guys who had sustained success. You have one-hit wonders in Pickett/Corral and a guy like Howell that regressed. Then you have the guy from Liberty who ate bad competition alive, but struggled against the big dogs.

Dude does this every year. While I'm admittedly a few weeks behind my normal draft routine, he comes in here every year after sticking his toes into the draft process and coming off as Mel Kiper.

There is one HUGE problem with trading back and that is the Jets and Giants. Both have TWO high picks right around us, so if anyone is looking to trade up, I'm sure those will be the first two teams on the phone. If you are the Jets and Giants, why wouldn't you trade back with first rounders nearly stacked on top of one another only to acquire more draft capital? In short, we are not in a great place to trade back.

Very young and the most unpolished of the 3 top LTs. That said, I'd still take him if Neal and Ekwonu are gone. Yes, early mocks have 1, if not 2 OTs gone by our pick at #6.

Uh huh, sure.

Last year's QB class was far from weak, actually one of the better ones in recent memory. This QB class has question marks all over the place.

His kick-slide is super choppy. He has to work on that big time. I like the 'nasty' in the screen game though, he's like a heat seeking missile looking for someone to hit.

Obviouly I'm in the Ekwonu camp (see avatar).

Yes, please. Neal scares me a bit because of his weight. It's one thing to move good for a big man, but qualifying 'for a big man' is a unnerving. Now our season is over, I'll start diving into tape.

While other teams are taking the "won't settle for mediocrity' mantra seriously, Tepper got confused by settling for losing in lieu mediocrity. 'Hah, see...we aren't mediocre anymore either!'

Yup, only 1 game under .500 in three years and Flores got axed. Our HC is 13 games under .500 and he not only gets to keep his job, but gets find a new scapegoat...uh, OC.

Robby's not pulling any punches, that happens when you already have been paid.

Yeah, like he's going to badmouth a team that could potentially give him his biggest contract of his career. If the Panthers balk and Jackson walks, I can promise you his tune will change.

Combined records of the 5 teams we beat: 34-50. I'm sure Rhule will point to the Cardinals win, but they were without their starting QB and a slew of other starters. Also, we caught them off guard with the two QB approach--and that rabbit-in-the-hat worked exactly once.

Brady wasn't ready for the NFL, but Rhule...with the exact same amount of prior NFL experience (1 year) somehow is? What a joke.
