Patriots can never draft another QB in the 6th round again.

So the Patriots are apparently sold at QB at pick 3.

Tepper uses AI to draft; heavy emphasis on test scores, table manners, and processors.

Ingram might be playing like your best player at the moment. Watch the ACC get 2 teams in the Final Four again after getting crapped on all year.

David Tepper was in the crowd, crazy!

Props to the Heels, that’s about as good as they’ve looked this year in the games I’ve watched.

**OFFICIAL: CamWhoaaCam is hopeless.

You’re good bro, you’re one of my favorite posters even when I disagree. Ruffling feathers is fine. I just thought it was post-worthy when Ryan freaking Leaf is calling out the likely #1 overall QB. Worth an off-season discussion at least. (Nevermind the Bryce Young implications, can’t play under center, etc)

Don’t need a pass. That’s why I posted it. Kinda hilarious to hear a strong take on the #1 QB from one of the biggest QB busts in NFL history.

"Seventy-five percent of what made him so great in college is not transferable to the NFL. He’s not going to be able to do that. He can’t do what he did in college 75% of the time and be successful at the NFL level," explained Leaf. "He can do the 25% at the NFL level, but he needs some time." So what is the 75% of the game that he can't do right now? Well, Leaf explained Williams doesn't play under center, doesn't play on time and learned to play the quarterback position from the pocket. Leaf went on to say that the only two quarterbacks in the 2024 NFL Draft that he believes can start Day 1 are Jayden Daniels and Michael Penix Jr. The former NFL quarterback explained that Penix's accuracy makes him the best quarterback prospect in the draft this year — not Williams. FWIW

Because he’s the face of the franchise and he needs to be out there playing. If it’s serious, fine..rehab him. But it doesn’t sound serious, he’s so young, he needs to play through it if he can. People pay his salary to watch this team, his job is to play. These new players need to get adjusted to playing with Melo, point blank.

Bucs and Mayfield reportedly “far apart” on a new contract. Multiple potential suitors for Baker. So many players are average when they’re here and shine when they leave. Or shine elsewhere and suck when they’re here. I really hope the new leadership team sees and understands this. It’s not just the players.

Frank Beamer definitely preached that bigtime in the 90’s so your timeline lines up. The game has changed a lot since then and WR and EDGE are much more premium (and expensive) positions now…. but a SMART/PHYSICAL/VOCAL Center is still hugely important. You’re legitimately drafting a Center in rounds 2-3 to be a 10 year starter and foundational piece.

Lots of former pros and coaches preach this. Positions closest to the ball are the most difficult/complicated to coach and play. Ask any of his QB’s how important Jason Kelce was.

Not to continue to dwell, but how the hell did we not get at least a *future* first for CMC, lol? Firsts are gold, 2/3/4 is not (especially for us).

Her proudest moment was marrying the 92nd richest person in the world. I’d be proud of that too, but she doesn’t need to be the face of the franchise. Hire someone to do the PR.

I find it more than interesting that Mrs. Tepper is doing these public interviews where she is now introduced as “Owner, Carolina Panthers”. Is it just me or has she gone from “wife of owner David Tepper” to “Owner, Carolina Panthers” seemingly overnight? Mr. Tepper has gotten so much public backlash recently, and now his wife suddenly is the public face of the franchise? Not a good look IMO.

I don’t understand it either. LaMelo needs to get out there. Change of subject, but I definitely didn’t do my homework on Davis Bertans. They call him the “Latvian Laser” for a reason…dude shoots lights out at 6’10 and is pretty athletic. He was adored on his previous teams. He’s scoring 14 off the bench every game since he’s been here (more consistent than Hayward in less minutes). We really made out with those trades.

Our leading scorers today were Micic, Tre Mann, Grant Williams (all recent additions)…and B Miller. Lamelo needs to get back on the court ASAP or the trade talks will intensify. If he’s going to be the face of the franchise, he HAS to be out there every game.

That link has his email and phone number, someone should call or text him to offer exclusive congratulations.

Just finished watching the movie Draft Day with Kevin Costner for the first time in 10 years. It’s so hilarious and sad at the same time, reminds me of the current Panthers. Costner’s Browns had #7 overall, but the generational QB (with issues) is a lock to go #1 overall. Browns GM trades #7 overall and their next two firsts to the Seahawks to move up to #1 (fleeced). Browns GM panics on the clock and instead drafts a LB instead of the generational QB at #1. Generational QB starts freefalling and the team that they initially traded with (Seahawks) are gonna steal him at #7 with the two future firsts in the bag. So the Browns GM snakes a deal with #6 (Jaguars) for three future 2nd rounders. Then the Browns GM calls the Seahawks back (at #7) and asks for all those firsts back, plus a player, for that QB. He moves back one spot from #6 to #7, gets all his picks back plus a player… and then still gets the RB he wanted all along at 7. Complete cluster-fug but absolutely reminded me of Fitterer. In on all deals.

Sucks we lost at the Raptors. Bertans hit a 3 to give us the lead inside of two minutes, but we couldn’t hang on. Side note: watching NBA TV and a replay of Malik Monk GOING OFF for 39. Might not be popular opinion, but letting him go was a big mistake for this franchise. I always loved his upside and now it’s shining in Sacramento. He’s locked up 6th Man of the Year.

This new roster is really surprising me. Hanging with the Raptors on the road in Toronto. No Melo, no Mark, no Cody Martin. Starting Micic, Grant Williams, and Tre Mann… with Bertans playing big minutes. Can’t watch the game but anyone who is…how have they looked today?

They could do a “Throw your drink in Tep’s face” day and I bet it’d be a hit. Best shot at a sellout crowd.
